Hot on the heels of the introduction of the Genesis GV80 SUV to Australia the Korean company has announced that it will bring its smaller brother, the GV70 SUV here in July.
It will be offered with petrol and diesel turbocharged engines, all with an eight-speed automatic and either rear- or all-wheel drive.
We are told that the GV70’s interior, “Is inspired by the Korean Beauty of White Space architectural philosophy, which carefully balances function and tranquility to create an open, uncluttered cabin with a sporty, driver-focused instrument layout.”
Sound interesting but as yet we haven’t been able to sit in one. We will do so as soon as we get into a road test vehicle.
The Genesis GV70 2.5T is powered by a 224kW / 422Nm 2.5-litre turbo-petrol engine driving the rear wheels. The GV70 2.5T AWD also has this engine, but drives through as an electronically controlled Genesis AWD system.
The Genesis GV70 2.2D AWD uses a 154kW, 440Nm all-alloy 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine, also with electronically controlled AWD.
The flagship Genesis GV70 3.5T AWD Sport has a 279kW / 530Nm twin-turbo 3.5-litre petrol V6 with electronically controlled Genesis AWD. This is the only model with the electro-mechanical limited slip differential on the rear axle.
Every Genesis GV70 has a panorama sunroof, adjustable ambient lighting, an acoustic laminated windshield and front door glass, genuine leather-appointed seats and stitched leather-appointed dashboard and door trims.
There are 12-way power adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation, reclining rear seats, remote start via Smart Key, a power operated tailgate with hands-free opening, and sunshades for the rear-door windows.
Infotainment features include a 14.5-inch HD touch screen display, navigation with Augmented Reality view function and live traffic updates, integrated controller with handwriting recognition, and DAB+ radio.
