Our intrepid reviewer looks back at a busy, rollercoaster of a year behind the wheel; here are the models that made an impression, for one reason or another

Also put the Genesis GV70 on the list of models that explicitly impressed me in 2021. And normally, I don't get too excited by the sight of an SUV...

This is by far the most impressive model produced by the Korean luxury brand; my amazement was also probably amplified because I simply wasn’t expecting to be so impressed. The GV70’s ride is rock solid and no matter what kind of mechanics are placed under the hood, the performance is excellent. I won't go so far as to compare it to the Porsche Macan, but I will say that it has Macan-like qualities. Try it and see.
