The Genesis GV70 is disrupting the luxury SUV scene with its signature combination of style and power. The GV70 delivers a singular driving experience whether you’re cruising around Pensacola, Florida, or embarking on a long road trip. Our Allen Turner Genesis team has compiled this review to show you why this vehicle is at the top of many SUV drivers’ lists.
The 2025 Genesis GV70 is a luxury SUV that combines elegance and performance, and there’s a GV70 for every driver. Trim levels include the 2.5T Standard, 2.5T Select, 2.5T Advanced, 3.5T Sport Advanced, and the powerful 3.5T Sport Prestige. All trim levels feature all-wheel drive, and even the 2.5T Standard, the base trim, includes standard perks such as a power driver’s seat with four-way power lumbar support, heated front seats, adjustable ambient lighting, highway driving assist, and Genesis Connected Services. New features, such as a standard Wi-Fi hot spot and advanced driver-assistance systems, add to the GV70’s appeal.
The GV70’s cabin design is bold. You’ll appreciate how the exterior’s sleek lines continue into the interior, creating a stylish, elegant look. You can choose from eight exterior paint colors, including Mauna Red, Savile Silver, and Capri Blue, allowing you to customize your GV70 to match your style.Â
Premium materials are used throughout the cabin, and the knurled glass shift knob looks and feels luxurious. The GV70 SUV also offers ample space and legroom for rear-seat passengers, ensuring a comfortable ride for all occupants. The cargo capacity is impressive — you can fit seven carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats and a total of 22 when the rear seats are stowed. That’s more than the Audi Q5 but a bit less than the Lexus RX.
Every GV70 features a standard 10.3-inch touch-screen infotainment system positioned atop the otherwise uncluttered dashboard. This system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and it can be connected to the subscription-based Genesis Connected Services. Most GV70s come with wireless charging as standard, and the 3.5Ts include Digital Key, which allows your smartphone to function as a car key.
The GV70 is equipped with advanced technology, including a fingerprint reader for enhanced security and convenience. The standard Lexicon premium audio system produces superb sound quality, and a Bang & Olufsen system is standard on higher trims. You can also keep an eye on your car from your phone with remote image capture and control.
You can select from two engines: a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine. The four-cylinder is the base option, producing 300 horsepower, whereas the V-6 generates 375 horsepower. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard, along with all-wheel drive. While the GV70 doesn’t corner as sharply as the Porsche Macan, it handles twisty roads effectively.
The GV70’s 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine hits 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds, but if you want more speed, the 3.5-liter V-6 reaches 60 mph in only 4.5 seconds. This kind of acceleration makes you smile, whether you’re merging onto the highway or just having fun driving around Pensacola.
The GV70’s 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder engine gets around 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Opting for the more powerful Twin Turbo 3.5-liter V-6 engine means you’ll get about 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. These figures make the GV70 SUV a practical choice for both city driving in Pensacola and long highway trips.
The Genesis GV70 has received top ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in crashworthiness; it’s equipped with numerous advanced safety systems designed to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. It includes adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights, high beam assist, and driver attention monitoring. There are also several airbags and structural improvements to safeguard you in the event of a collision. The GV70 also offers child-friendly safety features for families, as well as ABS. Â
The GV70’s reliability compares well in the small SUV segment. Its solid build and dependable performance make the GV70 an excellent choice if you’re looking for a reliable luxury SUV.
