About the Genesis GV70
Launched as the second SUV in the Genesis lineup, the GV70 is built on the same rear-wheel-drive platform as the G70 saloon. It features the brand's 'Athletic Elegance' design language, characterised by the distinctive Crest Grille and two-line Quad Lamps. The 2.5T variant serves as the entry-level powertrain, offering a balance of efficiency and performance that rivals the BMW X3 and Audi Q5. Inside, the cabin is noted for its high-quality materials and a unique elliptical theme inspired by aircraft wings.
