How it scores for you10 scores
A dependable, athletic luxury SUV with top safety marks and a plush cabin, held back by thirsty fuel economy and steep depreciation.
Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 6 of its 11 recalls were serious. About 8% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +4 points for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 4, side 5, rollover 4).
About $3,400 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 16% of cars we track.
28.9 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 61% of other SUVs we track.
Five seats, four doors, typical compact luxury SUV space. Cargo at 28.9 cu ft (56.9 folded) is about average for the segment; rear seat is adequate but not class-leading.
Genesis GV70 is praised for its athletic handling, strong 300hp engine (twin-turbo V6 versions even higher), and engaging dynamics that outshine many luxury rivals. AWD standard aids grip.
GV70 offers a premium, well-regarded tech suite: large infotainment, driver aids, quality materials, and available EV variant. Genesis consistently earns strong marks for interior tech and design.
Widely lauded for plush ride, quiet cabin, and upscale seats. Genesis interiors punch above segment on refinement and material quality, rivaling established German luxury brands.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
