The 2023 Genesis GV70 is a small five-seat luxury SUV that comes standard with all-wheel drive and offers a choice of two engines. Powering the GV70 2.5T is a turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Higher up the trim ladder, the GV70 3.5T has a turbocharged V6 that churns out 375 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. The turbo V6 is one to choose if acceleration is a top priority, while the turbo-four is the better pick for overall fuel economy.
Since the GV70 was just introduced for the 2022 model year, there are no notable changes to the 2023 model. It competes with rival two-row luxury SUVs such as the Acura RDX, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLB, and Volvo XC60. Helping set it apart from the competition is a cabin that’s elegant, functional, and spacious in terms of both passenger room and cargo volume.

What We Like
Ride and handling: The GV70 feels refined and relaxed when you’re behind the wheel. Its steering and suspension easily cope with both winding back roads and the day in, day out of bustling urban traffic. The GV70 is fitted with an adaptive suspension when equipped with the turbo V6, which gives the driver the ability to choose between different suspension firmness options.
Acceleration: The turbocharged four-cylinder isn’t pokey by any stretch of the imagination, but the turbocharged V6 is definitely the winner when it comes to straight-line speed. Punch the gas pedal and the GV70 3.5T needs approximately 5.3 seconds to run from 0 to 60 mph. That’s sports-car quick!
Standard features: Even the base-model Genesis GV70 is loaded with comfort and tech items. These include a 14.5-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, smartphone connectivity, navigation, and wireless device charging.
What Needs Improvement
Fuel economy: One area where the GV70 could use improvement is fuel economy. Even the turbocharged four-cylinder returns only so-so EPA-estimated fuel economy figures. The thirstier turbo V6 musters only an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined average in city and highway driving.
