2025 Genesis GV70: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2025 Genesis GV70 is standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across the lineup. Otherwise, this is a light-update year with the same engines and overall design as 2024.
About the 2025 Genesis GV70
1st generation GV70 (introduced for 2022); 2025 is the last pre-refresh model year before the 2026 mid-cycle update.
Genesis positions the GV70 as a compact luxury SUV that blends strong straight-line power, rich interior design, and generous standard equipment rather than chasing an aggressively sporty edge. Its core appeal is giving buyers upscale materials, a distinctive cabin, big-screen tech, and confident all-wheel-drive performance in a size that is easy to live with every day. Against rivals, the GV70 stands out by offering a lot of luxury and technology even before you climb deep into the trim ladder.
The 2.5T Standard delivers the GV70’s core luxury experience with a 300-hp turbo engine, AWD, a 14.5-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and a broad set of driver-assistance features. The more powerful 3.5T pairs a 375-hp twin-turbo V6 with an adaptive suspension, leather upholstery, and heated and ventilated front seats.

“It's super comfortable and great to drive; however it does not have great range and waiting for a charging station gets monotonous.”
“[Name] is a premium brand, and the interior and exterior both reflect that fact. The Electrified GV70 is very fast, and handles like a sports car. It is a dream to drive on long trips.”
