New Genesis GV70 Review | A Luxury SUV For Driving Enthusiasts
The 2026 Genesis GV70 is heir to the throne of the Motor Trend SUV of the Year. Building on this solid foundation, this luxury compact SUV continues to evolve with each model year.
In this review, we'll check out the distinctive features of the GV70 to help you decide if this luxurious Genesis SUV suits your Phoenix metro lifestyle.
Performance
Starting on a high note, a robust turbocharged engine churns out 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Taking performance to the next level, the twin-turbo V6 engine produces an impressive 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. If you want something even more powerful, the Electrified GV70 boasts 483 horsepower.
These luxury SUVs have advanced AWD capabilities. For instance, the standard system can redirect torque to the rear wheels, ranging from 20 to 50 percent, in response to specific road conditions. This offers improved traction on surfaces like sand or snow.
Additionally, the rear differential allows torque to be shifted from left to right, particularly valuable when navigating steep curves and challenging terrain. With all-wheel drive and torque vectoring technology, the 2026 Genesis GV70 in Phoenix not only identifies individual wheel spin but also takes precise measures to counteract slippage, ensuring an exceptional level of control and performance.
For the best handling, Genesis equips the GV70 with an adaptive suspension. By making real-time adjustments, this advanced suspension technology enhances ride comfort by significantly reducing the impact of road irregularities, providing a smoother driving experience.
Utility
All SUV shoppers want good cargo space, and the 2026 Genesis GV70 really delivers, providing 28.9 cubes of space. Folding down the second-row seats expands the GV70's cargo capacity to a generous 56.9 cubic feet of flat, usable space.
For your outdoor adventures, certain GV70 models are equipped to handle up to 3,500 pounds of trailer weight. This GV70 tow rating allows for various activities, such as towing jet skis or a compact camper.
Furthermore, when venturing off the beaten path, the GV70's all-wheel drive configuration provides up to 7.3 inches of ground clearance. This gives you confidence when faced with uneven terrain.
Interior
From the luxurious richness of leather to the velvety softness of microsuede, you can select the materials that resonate with your taste. From vanilla beige for an airy ambiance to the timeless elegance of obsidian black, an assortment of color options are on the menu, ready to match your preferences. For a bolder expression, the Ultramarine blue and Savilla Red choices are infused with distinctive personality.
The Genesis design philosophy revolves around creating a harmonious synergy within the interior. Highly skilled craftsmen meticulously assemble the components, resulting in a design that beautifully reflects the collaborative efforts of engineers, designers, and cutting-edge design technology.
Trim level enhancements include ventilated front seats and a power-adjustable driver's chair with power bolsters and cushion extension. Style upgrades include Nappa leather upholstery and a microsuede headliner.
Moreover, the spacious cabin accommodates everyone comfortably, with the driver enjoying 41.3 inches of legroom, and rear-seat occupants benefiting from 37.2 inches of legroom.
Technology
Integrated dual screens create the GV70's cockpit, providing drivers with a convenient way to access essential information. Positioned behind the bespoke steering wheel, a customizable digital instrument screen empowers the driver to tailor the displayed details to their preference.
Complementing this setup, on the dashboard, a substantial 14.5-inch touchscreen takes charge of entertainment and navigation functions. With standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the system extends its capabilities by seamlessly syncing with a driver's smartphone apps.
For added convenience and safety, a comprehensive 360-degree camera system, can provide a panoramic view of the SUV's surroundings, making parking and maneuvering effortless. Furthermore, a head-up display can make it easier for the driver to access vital information such as the current speed limit, SUV velocity, and turn-by-turn directions at a quick glance. This driver-centric technology approach ensures that the driver remains in control, well-informed, and focused on the road ahead.
Safety
The 2026 Genesis GV70 in Phoenix prioritizes the safety and well-being of its occupants through a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance features. The collision avoidance assist system encompasses key components such as the forward collision warning, pedestrian watch, and emergency autobrake, working in tandem to mitigate potential accidents.
Advanced junction assistance constantly monitors the oncoming traffic lane, side traffic, and other potential hazards, offering additional support to the driver and enhancing safety.
Furthermore, the GV70 is equipped with a lane keep assist function, encouraging the optimal trajectory during travel. The blind spot monitor, with its avoidance assist feature, provides early warnings to the driver about adjacent traffic before initiating lane changes, reducing the likelihood of side collisions.
For those seeking a more automated driving experience, the GV70 offers smart cruise control and an even more advanced highway driving assist system. These advanced technologies collectively contribute to an enhanced and secure driving experience for all occupants of the Genesis GV70.
