2023 Genesis GV70 Review | Luxury Midsize SUV
As the 2022 Motor Trend SUV of the Year, this Genesis didn’t need much improvement. Nonetheless, the 2023 Genesis GV70 arrives as an even better version of one of the best new luxury SUVs on the market.
Kelley Blue Book has ranked the 2023 model as #1 in luxury midsize SUVs. The 2022 GV70 was Edmunds top rated in its luxury SUV class.
This review takes a look at this award-winning luxury compact SUV. Is it worth the hype? How did it come to win this top prize? Scroll down to find out colors, horsepower, and other details important to you.
Performance
The 2023 Genesis GV70 is one of the most capable in its SUV class. This ute offers a unique camera-based suspension that sets it apart. This remarkable device watches the road and adjusts to match what it sees. This is a step beyond the self-adjusting suspensions already on the market, and it’s a big reason Motor Trend considered this SUV for its top award.
This suspension is matched to a twin-turbo V6 engine. Both devices came from the larger Genesis GV80, and they can do even more here with this lighter SUV. GV70 drivers command 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque for one of the most confident responses you can find in this class of SUV.
The base engine is extremely capable as well. This turbocharged 2.5-liter four cylinder engine churns out 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet.
All Wheel Drive and Torque Vectoring Capability
One way Genesis has expanded value without increasing the Genesis GV70 price is to make all-wheel drive standard. To some, this is a safety device that reduces the chances of losing control. To others, it is an adventure device, allowing for light off-roading.
Genesis all-wheel drive will drive the front wheels to maintain fuel efficiency. When it senses the need, it may move torque to the rear wheels. This can be as little as 20 percent or as much as 50 percent.
A rear differential has its own torque vectoring abilities. This device can move torque from side to side, not just front to back. It can address individual wheelspin as it seeks to provide the most effective grip.
Cargo Space and Utility
Engineers managed to create 28.9 cubic feet for your luggage and gear. That’s more than the Audi Q5 (26 cu ft), the Range Rover Evoque (21.5 cu ft), and the Mercedes GLC (19.4 cu ft).
Behind the second row, the 2023 GV70 has 56.9 cubic feet of space. You may split fold the second row to allow for a mix of passengers and cargo. If you want to tow, certain models can handle up to 3,500 pounds. Ground clearance is 7.3 inches.
Exterior Style
When this SUV took home the Motor Trend top prize, it scored top marks for its looks. Like the 2022 model year, the 2023 GV70 can be praised for its individual elements as well as its handsome overall impression.
To create the look, designers simplified the Crest grille and its thin, quad headlights. A skid plate is added beneath. The sides stretch with the C-Pillar chrome line and the arching Parabolic line. The main body concludes with a coupe-like roofline that creates a sporty rather than boxy appearance.
The GV Sport Package is a study in black. A blackout bezel is added to the headlights. Dark chrome garnishes the grille mesh. A body-colored diffuser is added for better aerodynamics. The bumper design and wheels are upgraded to match the package’s dark overtones.
GV70 Colors
Genesis obliges the luxury car shopper with plenty of color choices. Shoppers can choose from obsidian black, vanilla beige, or something livelier. A rich ultramarine blue or a racy Sevilla red style are favorites.
Exterior colors cover a range of hues. The red family is covered by Barossa Burgundy, Burgundy Matte, and Mauna Red. Other colors include Adriatic Blue, Himalayan Gray, Melbourne Gray Matte, Saville Silver, and Cardiff Green. You can go mysterious with Vik Black or choose between Alta White or Uyani White.
Interior and Trim Levels
Whatever the choice of color scheme or trim level, the interior always demonstrates a high level of craftsmanship. This is accomplished through above-class materials seamlessly integrated into the whole. Even the technologies seem natural in the carefully curated cabin.
The Sport Package adds ventilated front seats and a wide panoramic sunroof. It adds a power bolster and cushion extension to the driver’s power chair. The Sport Prestige package adds Nappa leather and a microsuede headliner.
Technology
Genesis has created dual screens that give drivers everything they need in easy eye contact. Behind the bespoke steering wheel, a digital instrument screen can be configured to show the details most important to the driver. Beside it on the dash, a large 14.5 inch touch screen handles entertainment and navigation duties. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay stretch what the system can do with the apps on a driver’s smartphone.
A 360-degree system, standard on the Advanced trim level, shows everything around the SUV while parking. A head-up display makes it easier and safer for a driver to glance at important information such as the speed limit, the SUV speed, and turn-by-turn directions.
Safety
All Genesis have earned Top Safety Pick Plus at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The 2022 Genesis GV70 had no trouble meeting all of the testing requirements and even received good grades for crash avoidance.
Collision avoidance assist includes the forward collision warning, pedestrian watch, and emergency autobrake. This system includes advanced aspects such as junction assistance. The system can watch the oncoming traffic lane, the side traffic and other potential dangers to help the driver.
A lane keep assist helps the driver stay on the safest trajectory. The blind spot monitor has an avoidance assist function. For an even more automated drive, there’s smart cruise control and even more advanced highway driving assist.
Price and Value
The GV70 is priced similar to or less than its competitors. Even so, the packaging is a better value. Buyers get more for their money whether it’s safety, driver assistance, dash tech or amenities.
For instance, if you choose the Mercedes-Benz GLC Class or BMW X3, you’ll be paying much more to get equivalent features to the GV70. This is why Genesis earned the Best Buy Award from Kelley Blue Book.
When SUV awards and rankings favor a new luxury SUV as they do with the GV70, resale values are almost guaranteed to remain positive. Furthermore, Genesis warranties are longer than rivals by as much as four years. The Genesis powertrain warranty is ten years or 100,000 miles.
