What Is the 2024 Genesis GV70?
The 2024 Genesis GV70 is a five-seat luxury compact SUV that emphasizes both style and value. The standard powertrain is a 300-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission; a twin-turbo V-6 is optional and produces 375 hp. For those interested in going electric, there’s also an Electrified GV70 that uses two electric motors to produce 429 hp (which can be bumped to 483 hp in 10-second bursts via a Boost Mode); it delivers an EPA-estimated driving range of 236 miles. Competitors of the gas-engine GV70 include the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Cadillac XT5, Lexus NX and Mercedes-Benz GLB. The Electrified GV70 competes with the likes of the Audi Q4 e-Tron and Q8 e-Tron, BMW iX and Tesla Model Y.

Should I Buy the 2024 Genesis GV70?
Despite being a luxury SUV, or perhaps because of it, the stylish GV70 is a terrific value when compared to pricier rivals. It comes standard with a long lineup of comfort and tech features, plus it has distinctive styling that sets it apart from the competition. The cabin also deserves credit for its modern design and refinement — even if the touchscreen is placed too far from the driver and its console-mounted control dial is easily confused with the rotary-style shifter. Cargo space is only so-so for this SUV segment, and the Electrified GV70’s driving range is below what you get in a number of other EVs. Still, in any of its forms, the GV70 is a standout performer in a highly competitive field.
