This SUV is the second largest in the company’s lineup.
Since a while, we’ve known that the Genesis line is expanding. Today, the company presented the latest member of the family. The unofficial debut of the 2022 GV70 SUV was made in typical Genesis fashion: there are no details, but a few photos to grab our attention.
This is not the first time that the Korean luxury brand pulled this off. It sneakily took the cover of the new G80 sedan in a similar fashion. Today’s focus is on the GV70, so let us look at what we know. This SUV is the second in the Genesis car range, and acts as the little brother to the GV80.
We can now see the GV70’s complete design even though it isn’t wearing any clothes. This includes a very close resemblance with the recently redesigned G70 sedan. With the split taillight and headlight layouts, the brand’s dual-line motif continues. The GV70 is a little more powerful than the GV80. This is due to the c-pillar design and the attention-seeking upright exhausts. Genesis also showed off the GV70 Sport with blacked-out details, and oval exhausts. Wow, the wheels are also stunning.
The inside is more familiar with the 14.5-inch touchscreen perched atop of the dash (as seen in the GV80) and the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The GV70 changes things up a bit, with ambient lighting surrounding climate controls and oval shapes appearing throughout the interior. Genesis’ new cabin design is fun and a fun reinterpretation.
We can only assume what the engine will look like, although the company has not yet revealed the details. This means that donations will be made from the GV80. There are two options: a standard 2.5-liter four cylinder or an optional 3.5-liter six cylinder with up to 375 horsepower.
Genesis will provide more details in the near future. However, we are excited to get an early look at what is undoubtedly the most important car the company has ever produced. These pictures show that compact luxury crossovers are hot in the market. Genesis may have a winner.
