Interior Colors and Spaciousness
Interior colors provide real variety for those who love a personalized look. It starts with Obsidian Black seats in a black cabin. Richly furnished, there are Vanilla Beige seats in a Vanilla cabin with black accents. You can go more colorful with black seats in a Sevilla Red cabin or Sevilla Red seats in a cabin of Sevilla Red with Obsidian Black.
Another popular Genesis GV70 interior is velvet burgundy leather upholstery with slate gray accents. There are pine grove green seats or Havana brown seats with ocean waves blue. Lastly there is ultramarine blue upholstery in an ultramarine blue cabin.
The airy cabin has 103.6 cubic feet of passenger space. Lucky for backrow passengers, rear legroom is 37.2 inches, sizable for the small SUV class. Behind the second row, the cargo hold is one of the largest in the class. It measures 28.9 cubic feet. With the rear seat folded, the cargo space grows to 56.9 cubic feet.
Exterior Color Choices and Features
The exterior is offered in Uyuni White, Alta White, Himalayan Gray, Vik Black, and Saville Silver. There are colors in Adriatic Blue, Cardiff Green, or Mauna Red. Matte colors include Brunswick Green, Barossa Burgundy, and Matterhorn White.
A handsome light signature is created by the standard LED Quad headlights and LED rear lamps. High beam assist and rain sensing wipers are standards, too. The power-folding side mirrors can provide welcome lights with the Genesis logo.
Performance and Handling
Demonstrating the power of turbo technology, a 2.5-liter four cylinder turbo engine generates 300 horsepower and 311 lb ft of torque. Stepping up to a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, the output is 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque.
With both engines, launch control adds to the feeling of sport driving every time you take off. Handling is enhanced by variable gear ratio steering and the 8-speed automatic transmission. Protecting the transmission and aiding the driver, the SUV has downhill control as well as hill ascent control.
2.5T Standard Features and Trim Levels
This luxury cabin has leatherette upholstery on the 12-way power adjustable driver’s chair and the 8-way power front passenger seat. An 8-inch color LCD display and a 14.5 inch touch screen are on the dash. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are part of the infotainment system. A touch type dual zone climate control keeps you cool during Phoenix AZ summers.
Even better, 2.5T Select models have ventilated seats, the favorite of Phoenix AZ drivers. This trim level adds a power tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, a panoramic roof, and a 16-speaker Lexicon system. The driver’s seat has a memory function as well as Smart Posture Assist. Front seat passengers gain their own walk-in device.
Fancier and equipped with even more amenities, the 2.5T Advanced models have leather seats, an upgraded front passenger seat, and adjustable ambient lighting. Special wave line backlit trim adds another touch of elegance. Favorite features include rear door shades, a heated steering wheel, and a surround view monitor. It has the Genesis Remote Parking Assist and advanced blind spot monitor.
At the top of this ladder, the GV70 Sport Prestige has leather upholstery with mesh inserts. The dashboard and doors are covered with soft touch leatherette. Sport elements include special alloy pedals and a haptic carbon pattern on aluminum trim. Drivers enjoy an Ergo Motion seat with special power bolsters and cushion extension. The Genesis Digital Key makes it possible to use a smartphone in place of the key.
3.5T Standards and Trim Levels
With the 3.5T model, the cabin is upgraded with leather upholstery as well as the contents of the standard package. The 3.5T Advanced has Nappa leather in handsome sport pattern quilting. There is a special layered edge backlit trim. Leatherette covers the doors and instrument panels.
A microfiber suede headliner and a 16-speaker Lexicon system add to the rich feeling. Other standards include a heated steering wheel, the Genesis Digital Key, the advanced parking features, and the blind spot monitor.
The 2022 Genesis GV70 3.5T adds suede inserts to the Nappa leather seats. The cabin has carbon fiber trim, rear door shades, and tri-zone climate controls. Other fine details include additional acoustic glass, the larger digital cluster, a heads-up display, and two rows of heated seats.
Safety Features and Driver Assistance
This IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus surrounds the passengers with 8 airbags. Drivers are assisted by a forward collision avoidance system. This includes pedestrian watch, cyclist detection, and emergency autobrake. To watch the sides of the GV70, Genesis provides a blind spot monitor with a steering assist and a lane keeping assist.
Adaptive Cruise Control takes the work out of a busy commute. With lane following assist, the Highway Driving Assist adds even more automated capability.
Parking is easy with the number of standard and available features. The assistance starts with the rearview camera, rearview cross traffic monitor, and cross traffic emergency autobrake. It continues with the front and rear parking sensors, the SurroundView monitor, and a remote smart parking assist. With this feature, you can actually stand on the curb and park your GV80.
Value and Price
The Genesis GV70 price is one of the reasons that it earned Motor Trend SUV of the Year. A more affordable price saves hundreds or thousands over rivals, such as the Volvo XC60, Acura RDX, BMW X3 or Audi Q5.
It’s long list of standard infotainment features and the even longer list of driver assistance features make the Genesis GV70 more valuable than its rivals. In other words, you are getting more automotive product for your automotive dollar.
Third, the warranties are much longer than standard warranties, providing up to two years more limited coverage and up to five years more powertrain coverage. That’s a potential savings you can’t get from Audi, Acura, BMW, Volvo or Mercedes Benz. Furthermore, only Genesis is ranked #1 in the two main categories by JD Power in its 2022 rankings. The GV70 is tops in its class for Initial Quality and tops in its class for Dependability. That’s quite a statement on the SUV’s value.
