The model
Read full Genesis GV70 reviewThe Genesis GV70 has a lot going for it, with competitive pricing, a long warranty, lots of equipment and one of the most luxurious interiors in the family SUV class. It's not as rounded as the Audi Q5, but it's still a convincing left-field choice. We recommend the smooth but punchy 2.5-litre petrol engine with Sport trim.
The trim
See full equipmentTop-spec Luxury features the same extras as Sport but also gets a set of massive 21in wheels and does without the sportier appearance. We don’t feel this is worth the extra outlay, especially when you consider that the larger wheels have a detrimental effect on ride quality.
The engine
See full engine specsFeeding 300bhp to all four wheels, the 2.5T petrol is certainly quick and gets you from 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds, matching the Audi Q5 45 TFSI. Performance at low and mid revs is good but you’ll find that you have to work the engine quite hard to get the best out of it, causing a fair amount of engine noise.
