2023 Genesis GV70: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2023 Genesis GV70 is that the former 2.5T Prestige trim was renamed 2.5T Sport Prestige. Otherwise, this is a light package update with the same engines, standard AWD, and basic trim structure as 2022.
About the 2023 Genesis GV70
1st generation GV70 (2022-2025), second model year before the 2026 redesign.
Genesis positions the GV70 as a smaller luxury SUV that mixes strong turbo power, bold styling, and a rich-looking cabin with everyday comfort and useful technology. Its main appeal is getting a premium feel, generous standard equipment, and standard AWD in a package that feels more distinctive than many German rivals at similar money. Reviews from the time backed that up, praising the GV70 for looking and feeling more expensive than its price suggests.
The 2023 GV70 ranges from the well-equipped 2.5T Standard to the more athletic 3.5T Sport. The Standard has a 300-hp turbo four-cylinder engine, a 14.5-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and a broad safety suite, while the 3.5T Sport adds a 375-hp twin-turbo V6, road-reading suspension, leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof.
What changed, by category
Styling
Roof rails changed from standard to optional on the 2.5T Standard, while alloy wheels changed from standard to optional on the 3.5T Sport.

Tech and comfort
The 2.5T Select gained a heated steering wheel and monobloc front brakes, the 2.5T Advanced gained Lexicon audio, and Sport models gained touch-sensitive steering-wheel controls. A heated steering wheel also became standard on the 3.5T Sport.

(419 reviews)
“Overall a great car, fun to drive, well made, feels classy, rides comfortably. Superb acceleration, great technology, beautiful design inside and out, seamlessly working infotainment system. Negative sides- Slides on harsh brakes or slightly wet conditions. Does not grip the road as much as expected. The fact that I don't have run-flat tires concerns me.”
“Super fun to drive, almost all of the bells and whistles of cars 40K more. I am a big guy (6'3", 235) and it fits me perfectly. One of the coolest things about the car is you put in your info and it adjusts the seat and steering wheel to the perfect position. As for driving, this car is super fun to drive, acceleration is awesome, handling is solid with no complaints from me. I could not love this car more!”
