Genesis has shown the exterior and interior of the GV70 for the first time. The upmarket Japanese car company explains that the ?G? in GV70 Genesis and that the ‘V’ refers to versatility.

The sleek coupe-like roofline, along with the dropping chrome line to the C-pillar, are there to create an athletic look.

The Crest Grille takes its shape from the Genesis logo has been set lower than the headlights. Viewed from the arching parabolic line, which begins at the top of the headlights and runs along the side creates a contrast with the muscular rear fenders.

Lexus GV70’s interior exhibits characteristics of the elegant South Korean architectural philosophy. What the company calls, “the beauty of white space”.

Genesis also unveiled a GV70 Sport model, which has a front sportier front bumper. It sits on 21-inch, G-Matrix pattern-applied wheels. There are dark chrome garnishes and a large diameter exhaust.

The Sport model’s interior features exclusive colours and trim, including a sport steering wheel and carbon-fibre appointed consoles and doors.
