| Genesis needs SUVs, and the GV70 is a sharp one that seeks to build on the growing success of the GV80 and compete with the likes of the BMW X3. |
At last, the 2022 Genesis GV70 has been revealed! For those of you unfamiliar with Genesis, it’s Hyundai’s luxury brand. Genesis really needed some SUVs in their lineup given how popular they are now. The midsize GV80 is just starting to go on sale in the U.S., and is receiving very positive reviews. The compact GV70 will compete with vehicles such as the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Cadillac XT4 and Tesla Model Y.
Various trims will be offered, including a GV70 Sport model. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Genesis’ new 3.5L twin turbo V6 under the hood of that one. I expect the 2.0T or new 2.5T to be one of the standard engines. RWD and AWD will be offered. The new Genesis design language looks good here, with split headlights and taillights as well as a big crest grille. Inside, the interior looks minimalistic and luxurious with a giant touchscreen, in typical modern-car fashion.
Tell me: Are you looking for a compact luxury crossover?
This is the Korean spec model, but I’m sure we’ll know more about the
American-bound GV70 in the coming months. Until then, Genesis continues to
bring the heat and I might just have to add this to my shopping list down the
road!
