About the emergency spare tire/jack for the GV80 Prestige, I contacted three Genesis dealers parts departments, all three said no spare is listed in their parts catalog. Note: I specifically requested the tire for the BASE model, not the prestige.
Spare tire?

Funny how some of the gv80 experts on here aren't even owners...
I ordered a full size spare rim and tire to throw in the trunk for road trips, otherwise stays in garage. Wayyy cheaper than buying a donut from dealership which may or may not fit in the trunk...and this way I'm not stuck in the middle of nowhere with just a 50 mile donut.

I was at the dealer yesterday and they said that the advanced, because of the 3rd row folding down into the space that a spare tire would be, has no spare.....hence I don't think that is good unless you have run flats and they don't come standard with run flats. (Of course you could replace the tires and put run flats on any vehicle!)

Yesterday the dealer told me that the prestige package (2row vehicle) does come with a spare.
I have the GV80 Prestige- picked it up 3 weeks ago. No spare. Got one from EZ Spare.com. It fits nicely in the area where a storage tray was located. Early on I tried to buy a spare from 3 separate dealers but was improperly told no spare exists in their parts catalog. There is a spare listed. Your dealer said because of the third row the space for a spare does not exist. He may be right, but I would look into it further. My experience with Genesis sales people suggests they lack the energy and ethics to even look into matters outside of taking your money.

Thanks for letting me know - terrible that we are not getting the right info from the dealer!
If there is no space, and you don't need the 3rd row, the EZ Spare wheel/tire comes with a zippered black canvass case that likely would fit in your vehicle. Good luck.
Oh, I forgot to ask if you are located in snow country?
Gv80 prestige owner here. I can confirm NO spare tire. Just a bag in the compartment with fix a flat. I would love a real spare tire solution other than a donut

Hi! Would it be possible to take a picture of the spare in the space you made in your car? Thank you!
Hi,
Do you have the Prestige Trim?

No, I have the 3.5 Advanced + with a 3rd-row seat.
My Prestige (2 Row) has a storage tray located about a foot in front of the rear hatch door. There is a folding floor panel that is removable that sits on top of the tray. The tray is removed by lifting it vertically. Once removed, the spare, wheel well is visible. You may or may not have this tray.
My guess is your vehicle probably has the same spare tire compartment, but with access more complicated due to the 3rd row seats. However, they might be anchored to the steel floor outside of the well thereby allowing access to the tire. Have you even attempted to locate the well?

Can someone with a 3.5 prestige who bought a spare please take a picture of the spare in compartment and also link to the spare. I think everyone here would find that very helpful.
DaniDiamond I installed one in my 21 Gv80 Prestige. At the moment the vehicle is not available to me. What are your concerns?
