New Genesis GV70 Review | The Award-winning Luxury Sport SUV
When it was introduced just a few years ago, the GV70 beat out 35 other candidates to become Motor Trend SUV of the Year. The judges specifically praised its "all-around excellence," noting its fresh design, powerful engine options, and high value compared to European luxury competitors.
The 2026 Genesis GV70 continues this winning streak with more amenities, cutting-edge technologies, and a commitment to true luxury. Once you see this remarkable Genesis SUV in person, you’ll picture it in your driveway. Once you drive it, you’ll love it even more.
Performance
The 2026 Genesis GV70 in Phoenix is powered by superior modern powertrains. An amazing turbo four cranks out over 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. This is plenty of power for some serious fun. Standard all-wheel drive gives you the handling benefits of front- and rear-wheel drive as well as the all-weather benefits of electronic AWD. The twin turbo V6 makes itself known with 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque.
Basically this is GV80 power but it is propelling the lighter GV70. Now standard with the GV70 twin-turbo V6, a camera-based suspension is constantly adjusting the response based on the camera’s reading of the road ahead. This is another feature that this Genesis SUV gets from its bigger sibling.
Capability, Utility and Specifications
To provide the maximum passenger space, Genesis designed the seatbacks to allow the rear seat passengers to have much more knee space and legroom. If you are sitting on the back seat, there is a button to move the seat forward or back to get your body at its most comfortable angle.
As for cargo space, Genesis provides just over 28 cubic feet in the 2026 Genesis GV70 in Phoenix. That leads most of the segment. Ground clearance is 7.3 inches, good for this size SUV. If you want to go off-road, there’s a rear differential with electronic torque vectoring abilities. This new Genesis SUV can tow up to 3,500 pounds with the right engine and drivetrain.
Exterior
The exterior GV70 design is one of the many aspects praised by Motor Trend. They said that, "whether taken as a whole or in detail", this is an SUV that delivers "a distinctive and rich impression".
Its athletic good looks start with the signature Crest Grille with its distinctive quad lamps.However, the grille is lower and a skid plate is under the bumpers. Along the side, the viewer gets a dynamic, dramatic contrast with a coupe-like roofline. An arching Parabolic Line runs across the body while the chrome line drops to the C-pillar. When you opt for the GV70 Sport package, the exterior takes on dark tones.
The three-dimensional patterns are emphasized by the dark chrome garnished grille mesh and a strong blackout bezel. Other elements include a unique bumper design, exclusive wheels, and a body-colored diffuser.
Interior
Motor Trend praises how the cabin feels precisely assembled and carefully crafted. One editor said that the GV70 "interior punches far above its price and segment." Their point was that every piece inside the SUV feels high end. Indeed the lines are sleek, the look is clean, and the overall impression is of elegance. High tech toys are well integrated.
Appointments in a variety of rich leathers can trim this interior in two-tone combinations that are racy, handsome, and unique. GV70 color options include such curated choices as Gray and Velvet Burgundy or Ocean Waves and Pine Grove. Of course, you may choose a red or blue combination. With the GV70 Sport package, the shopper can choose unique interior colors that emphasize the cabin’s dynamic elements. Fine materials include the bespoke steering wheel and carbon fiber detailing.
Technology
The standard 14.5 inch touch screen has Genesis advanced navigation so you don’t have to step up to another trim level unless you want to. You’ll have everything built in that you need to find your next adventure. Finding entertainment is easy with an iPhone and Apple CarPlay or perhaps you prefer your Android smartphone and Android Auto with Google Maps. In the Advanced trims, the rearview camera is upgraded to an exciting 360-degree camera system.
On the dash, a 12.3 digital gauge cluster brings everything in sharp focus for the driver. When the head-up display is engaged, you have critical information right at eye level without looking down at your instruments.
Safety
The 2025 Genesis GV70, built after April 2024, is a 2026 Top Safety Pick Plus. This designation from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) is based on crash scores and the viability of the crash avoidance features. Genesis doesn’t leave safety to chance. The emergency braking system is tied to a forward collision warning. It also responds to pedestrian detection.
A lane keeper is watching the line and alerting the driver. It is also an active feature, helping the driver stay within the lines. With so many aspects, the driver assistance tries to create a blanket of front crash prevention. Users have reported that the system's learning curve is small. Highway Driving Assist lets the Genesis take over many functions, letting the driver be the safety monitor.
