2025 Genesis GV70

Automakers Genesis and Kia (related brands under the Hyundai family) are recalling certain vehicles over an issue that increases the risk of a fire.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is tightening its crash-test requirements for its coveted Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards, resulting in fewer winners for 2025.

Eight new vehicles qualified for the agency’s Top Safety Pick awards, including five that achieved the highest Top Safety Pick+ rating.

Genesis is polishing its coupe-roofed GV70 SUV with a finer grit for 2025. There are no major changes this year aside from a few equipment updates.
