2022 Genesis GV70 Configurator Reveals Nearly Everything About The Upcoming Crossover

Genesis hasn’t said much about the US-spec GV70, but an assortment of details have been revealed by the crossover’s reservation configurator.

Kicking things off is the entry-level GV70 2.5T Standard which has LED headlights, a hands-free power liftgate, and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, there’s a 12-way power driver’s seat, a 14.5-inch infotainment system, and an 8-inch driver information display. Buyers will also find leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, and a wireless smartphone charger.

A bundle of driver assistance systems come standard including Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Highway Driving Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. The model will also have Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Safe Exit Assist, and Rear Parking Distance Warning.

Drivers looking for more luxury can opt for the GV70 2.5T Select which adds larger 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, and power-folding side mirrors with lights that project the Genesis logo. The model also has a power tilt / telescopic steering wheel, heated/ventilated front seats, aluminum trim, and a 16-speaker Lexicon premium audio system.

One step above is the GV70 2.5T Advanced and it has leather seats, Wave Line backlit trim, and an adjustable ambient lighting system. Other niceties include a heated steering wheel, manual sunshades, and a passenger seat with 4-way power lumbar adjustment.

The model also has additional driver assistance systems such as a Blind-Spot View Monitor, Remote Smart Parking Assist, Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, and a Surround View Monitor.

Lastly, there’s the range-topping GV70 2.5T Sport Prestige which has a sportier exterior with 21-inch alloy wheels. Bigger changes occur in the cabin as there are alloy pedals, special trim, and unique leather seats with mesh inserts. Other highlights include navigation-based Smart Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist II, Digital Key Technology, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Junction Crossing and Evasive Steering Assist.

All of the aforementioned models are equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel-drive system. Genesis hasn’t released US-specifications, but the engine produces 300 hp (224 kW / 304 PS) and 311 lb-ft (422 Nm) of torque in South Korea.

Customers will also be able to opt for a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6. It should produce 375 hp (279 kW / 380 PS) and 391 lb-ft (530 Nm) of torque.

Models equipped with the V6 have a slightly different trim structure as the GV70 3.5T Standard has many of the same features as the GV70 2.5T Sport Prestige. However, the crossover has some additional equipment including monobloc front brakes and an adaptive suspension with road preview technology.

Moving up to the GV70 3.5T Sport Advanced rewards buyers with a suede headliner and Nappa leather seats with quilting. The model also has a 16-speaker Lexicon audio system and driver assistance systems such as a Blind-Spot View Monitor, a Surround View Monitor, and Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist.

Finally, there’s the GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige. It has carbon-fiber trim and Nappa leather seats with suede inserts. Other niceties include a tri-zone climate control system, heated rear seats, a heads-up display, and a 12.3-inch 3D digital instrument cluster. The model also has 21-inch alloy wheels and an electronic limited-slip differential.

The GV70 will arrive in the United States this summer, so we can expect to learn full details and pricing in the coming months.
