Genesis GV70
The young but dynamic luxury brand from South Korea is finally launching a compact SUV. The new Genesis GV70 is an interesting alternative to the German competitors that currently lead the segment. The interior is particularly bold and attractive. Engine options are shared with the larger GV80 including turbocharged four- and six-cylinders ranging from 300 to 375 horsepower. An eight-speed transmission and all-wheel drive come standard on every GV70.
