Genesis unveils the 2025 GV70 with refined luxury and fresh tech
Genesis polishes up the GV70: techier, trendier and a touch more posh
Genesis has introduced a refreshed 2025 GV70 for Australia, adding an array of high-tech features and refined design touches to its already luxury SUV.
The updated model comes in three trims - Advanced, Signature and Signature Sport - each offering different combinations of comfort, style, and performance.
The goal?
To position the GV70 as a standout in the competitive luxury SUV segment, where tech, safety and a smooth driving experience are king.
Infotainment or Cinema?
One of the most eye-catching updates is the expansive 27-inch OLED display, which integrates infotainment and vehicle controls into a sleek, continuous screen.
This display not only enhances the cabin's high-end feel but is also designed to keep drivers connected with features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Add to this an In-Cabin Camera and Over-the-Air update capabilities and the 2025 GV70 feels like a vehicle that's keeping pace with the latest in consumer technology.
Facelifted GV70 gets enhanced safety features
Safety has been dialled up as well, with new and upgraded driver assistance features in all trims.
The 2025 GV70 now includes:
- Intelligent Speed Limit Assist
- Forward Collision Avoidance 2
- Remote Smart Parking Assist 2
Meanwhile, the Signature trim's interior is tailored for relaxation, thanks to additions like a Bang & Olufsen audio system, an Air Aroma diffuser and a UV-C sanitizing compartment, similar to that of the Santa Fe.
For those who value both peace of mind and peace of senses, the GV70 offers a lot to appreciate.
Pricing and engines: power choices with luxury to match
The 2025 Genesis GV70 is offered with two engine options to suit different driving styles and power needs.
The entry-level Advanced trim starts with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering a balanced 224 kW of power and 422 Nm of torque, ideal for smooth everyday performance.
Those looking for something more potent can opt for the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, exclusive to the Signature and Signature Sport trims.
This V6 offers 279 kW and 530 Nm of torque bringing a high-powered edge along with extra features like an electronically controlled limited-slip differential and Genesis’ Road Preview Electronic Control Suspension, enhancing both handling and comfort on the road.
Starting prices are set competitively, beginning at $78,500 for the Advanced trim with the 2.5T engine, moving to $87,500 for the Signature and reaching $100,000 for the range-topping Signature Sport with the 3.5T V6. But keep in mind that these prices are without on-road costs.
Drivers can also opt for a matte paint finish across all trims for an additional $2,000.
Genesis GV70 Signature Sport
The flagship GV70 Signature Sport trim brings a sharper, more performance-oriented design to the GV70 lineup.
Key exterior elements like a dark chrome grille, a redesigned front bumper with pronounced air intakes and a flat-bottom steering wheel signal a more sporty side to this luxury SUV.
This top-tier model aims to merge luxury with a subtle nod to sportiness, appealing to those who want the best of both worlds.
Final thoughts on the facelifted GV70
With the 2025 GV70, Genesis are looking to up their game, offering a luxury SUV that doesn't just look good but offers enough to keep up with both lifestyle needs and technology trends.
Starting at $78,500 plus on-road costs, the GV70 is positioned to provide a compelling mix of features, design and performance.
This facelifted version, with its expanded tech and comfort offerings, appears on paper, well-suited to attract drivers seeking a modern, versatile luxury SUV without compromise.
