Genesis has launched a mid-cycle update for its compelling GV70 SUV that’ll launch in South Korea in May before launching in global markets. The overall exterior design of the new model remains very similar to the outgoing GV70, although some refinements have been made. For example, there is a new dual-weave mesh front grille and the Two-Line headlights use the brand’s latest MLA technology. The front end also includes a new skid plate.
Other updates made to the 2025 GV70
include new 19-inch dark hyper silver wheels. The rear turn signals have also
been relocated from the bumpers to the taillights, there is a revised rear
spoiler, and newly-shaped exhaust finishers are fitted.
The significant changes have been made to
the interior. Like the refreshed GV80, the new GV70 ditches the outgoing
model’s separate digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen in favor of
a single, 27-inch display. The elliptical shape of the screen used for the
climate control has also been removed in favor of a simpler rectangular
display. Fortunately, Genesis hasn’t completely ditched the GV70’s elliptical
theme and shifted it to encompass the air vents. The carmaker has also
installed a new steering wheel, similar to that of the 2025 GV80. The ambient
lighting system has also been tweaked.
It comes standard with a custom G-Matrix Crest Grille, enlarged air
intakes, 21-inch dark metallic wheels, a dark chrome rear diffuser and muffler
tips, a unique steering wheel, and orange contrast stitching. Genesis has not
yet announced powertrain specifications for the 2025 GV70 but we expect the
same engine options to be available. These include a 2.2-liter four-cylinder
turbo diesel, a 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder petrol, and a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged
V6. The GV70 Electrified is also probably in line to receive the same updates
as the rest of the ICE range.
