  • For a brand that had no SUVs until recently, Genesis is making up for lost time. First the GV80, now the two-row five-seat GV70 is built on the same athletic chassis as the G70 sport sedan. Add a crafted interior, well-done tech, original design and value pricing and you’ve got a highly competitive machine. Tom Voelk looks at the high-performance twin-turbo V6 3.5T model with the Sport Advanced and Sport Prestige packages.

    There’s also an enormous amount of leg room for what is considered a mid-side SUV. I am 6’5” and fit amazing in the driver and passenger seats, as well as the row behind. This vehicle definitely lives up to its high praise and hype. Worth every cent!

      I have a white 3.5t with ultramarine blue interior and have had it since the end of july 2021. I would have waited for the 2.5t versions to come in, but I don’t believe the 2.5t models have the blue interior options, which was the strongest selling point for me. (I also couldn’t wait anymore, I was sharing a car since Nov 2020…)
      My biggest issue/gripe is the rear doors don’t have their own set of open/lock sensors, when other “luxury” cars of this class have them on all 4. Current Mercedes models have it standard on all the doors, even starting on entry level Gla/glb models. Something they can def add in on future model years. Only other random issue that’s really a parlor trick is, holding the car key lock button cannot close the windows, but they can open them.. again, it should have both options… a gla/glb has it … and it’s a size class level below…
      I love the car, I still get people looking all the time, they’re just not mass sellers yet like an x3/q5/glc, but honestly a much nicer quality interior compared to those three.

      Bought my 2023 GV70 2.5T Sport Prestige a few months ago back in August. Been doing research for about 1-1/2 years waiting for pandemic price gouging to subside. The dealership I bought my Hyundai from was offering $5000 off MSRP for 2023 Genesis GV70s and GV80s in stock. The 2024 models were coming in a couple of weeks at the time. Currently, they are offering $1000 off on 2024 models. Great vehicle and I receive lots of compliments.

    With platform sharing, sedans can often become an SUV without extensive development costs. I'm seeing this everywhere. And by SUV in this case, I mean a soft-roader. Hyundai and KIA are just on a roll. They are easily the most dynamic and productive auto manufacturers in the market right now. Some of the features on this rig are so downright clever and innovative (like the lane-changing blind-spot camera on the dashboard) they should be standard on all cars. This would be my first choice in this segment by far. Love the interior and exterior design equally. Well-done. Great review once again, excellent video and audio! The location is gorgeous.

    People are really really really taking Genesis for granted. This IS the next SUV I'm buying. People get all 'twisted' when they find out that they Hyundai is the parent company of Genesis. PEOPLE WAKE UP!!! DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!! Hyundai is a Global Conglomerate, a Magnate. THEY KNOW HOW TO BUILD. Genesis is just something for Hyundai to do with all that money they are making. Genesis is becoming the next Audi!!! They are giving you a lot of amenities for your hard earned 'dime' and they are offering a good powertrain warranty also. This is a luxury vehicle that you can BUY and not worry about getting rid of it or flipping it for another car at the end of the lease (hint hint the German Big Three). Wake up people, Genesis just put the SUV world on notice. GV70 just said that they're in the fight, and they plan to win.

They don't care that Hyundai-Kia is the 4th largest global auto maker consistently garnering top rankings in JD Power quality and reliability surveys over the years.

    Excellent review as always, Tom. It's clear why the GV70 took home honors at Mudfest this year. And Genesis pulled a smart move (imo) in offering the 2.5L turbo 4 as the base engine in the vehicle. A powerplant that at my last count is standard or optional in at least 9 (!) KIA, Hyundai, and Genesis models. That makes the GV-70 base model, even with options at $50K or less.
    But that brings me to my biggest complaint as far as Genesis is concerned. While the new corporate 4 banger has earned strong reviews in a host of other vehicles, Genesis has failed to offer it in the sedan version G70. Sticking instead to the earlier 2.0L engine with nearly 50 less HP and only mediocre torque. As someone who loves sedans and is considering a VW Arteon or KIA Stinger GT-Line (before its demise next year) I find it both sad and puzzling that Genesis wouldn't offer a more capable base engine in the G70 as they have in the GV70 and G80. Considering that the 2.5L turbo in other KIA and Hyundai models turns in a 0-60 time of about 5.2 seconds, only about a half second slower than the twin turbo 3.3L V6 in the Stinger, I'd expect it would deliver similar performance in the G70. Obviously, Genesis is putting far more effort in the GV70 than in the G70 sedan.
    One further point. It's noteworthy that Genesis is offering concierge service along with "free" standard maintenance on their vehicles for 3 yrs/36K miles. Obviously, they're hoping to spare their customers the embarrassment of appearing at a Hyundai dealer in person. Originally, Hyundai hoped to emulate Acura, Lexus, and Infiniti in fully separating their luxury brand dealerships from their mainstream brands. That plan collapsed when they were sued by a number of Hyundai dealers who had been selling the early Genesis models as a Hyundai sub-brand. The dealers won and Hyundai agreed to continue providing Genesis models to Hyundai dealers as long as they provided a separate entrance and showroom.

    Five years ago when you were reviewing for the New York Times and called the Mercedes GLC300 the "perfect car" that convinced me to buy one! Then 2.5 years ago I decided to buy the then-new Genesis G70 because I had decided I didn't need a car as big as the GLC300 (which was indeed a great car). I love my G70 but I feel Genesis, in getting these SUVs out, is now a bit behind the curve on the electric or hybrid powertrains. Based on YT videos from Asia, Genesis now has a full-electric car available in Korea (the GV60), which perhaps will be available in the US next year. As much as I like the GV70, I find myself more interested in the GV60 now.
