Genesis Updates GV70 for 2025, Releases Pricing

Standing still is a great way to get run over, especially in the cutthroat segment which is the luxury midsize crossover game. Genesis has just released images of its 2025 GV70, packing an enormous new infotainment screen but only a moderate price hike.

It’ll take the most eagle of eyes to discern exterior changes, a least absent a 2025 model parked side-by-each next to an equivalent from the previous year. New lighting technology is apparently baked into those trademark two-line headlamps, while the grille is said to have gained a skiff of new detail work. Around back, the turn signals align a bit better on plane with the front lamps, along with a new module cropping up on the rear spoiler studded with cameras for reverse gear and mirror duties. New paint choices are on tap for 2025 including a raft of matte options.

Inside, it is much easier to spy the improvements. Gone are the separate units of gauge cluster and infotainment system, replaced with a 27.0-inch OLED display integrating the two in a single horizontal layout. This brand is better than most when it comes to designing a usable interface for this type of gear, so we’re intrigued to learn how Genesis will creatively use all this newfound digital real estate. The ventilation controls are now described as ‘touch based’ which generally gives us the vapors but at least we can see that large surface areas for those duties remain just below the air conditioning vents. Peep close and you’ll also see a fettled Genesis logo on the steering wheel.

Pricing has also appeared deep in the bowels of Genesis’ media site, explaining a 2025 GV70 2.5T AWD model will start at $45,700 which is just $600 more than 2024 model as indicated by the customer-facing build-and-price tool. Assuming the new screens and such are part and parcel of all trims, and there is nothing to suggest they are not, this is more than reasonable. The range tops out at $67,900 for a GV70 3.5T in Sport Prestige trim.

    This message is for Matthew Guy. I just want to say thank you for the photo article titled Tailgate Party: Ford Talks Truck Innovations. It was really interesting. I did not see on the home page and almost would have missed it. I think it should be posted like Corey's Cadillac series. 🙂

    No hybrid? No EV? What year is this? lol

    I kid -- of course there is an electric version.

      Even with the electric, big mistake in not having an HEV variant.

      However, there are rumblings that Genesis has been working on a 2.5T hybrid powertrain which would suit the GV70, but probably won't be ready til the next gen model.





  • Bd2 Looking forward to flooding the rental lots with Hyundai and Kia models, this is just one obstacle now eliminated.
  • Kcflyer keep the color. lose the stupid front design. make it reliable, at least as reliable as a base 911. Then and only then is it somewhat worthy of that price.
  • FreedMike I'm not sure why anyone would choose this over an A8 or S-class.
  • FreedMike I think the manufacturers who are discontinuing affordable small and midsize cars in favor of more expensive crossovers (that are built on the same platforms and use the same mechanicals as said small and midsize cars) may well live to rue that decision. Having said that, though, at least GM is offering decent entry level stuff beyond the Malibu, so good for them.
  • Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh The only one worth missing is in the EU making 350-ftbs of twist off a 2.0 diesel ..
