2022 Genesis GV70

The new GV70 has energized the Korean luxury brand’s performance on the market, bringing actual sales to a brand that racks up awards but still struggles to get attention from the wider buying public. The breakthrough of the GV70, if you can call it that, is due to one factor, mainly: it is an exceptionally accomplished model. It rides great, its interior is great, it looks great. And that’s not just us saying it. KBB agreed. The competition in this category is ferocious and the GV70 came out on top, ahead of the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Lexus NX and Mercedes-Benz GLB.

What KBB liked:

- Stylish, sporty looks
- Which are backed up a stylish, sporty performance on the road
- All-wheel drive, all the time
- For a great price, offers as much as models costing far more
- Solid warranty
