2025 Genesis GV70 revealed, Australian launch due later this year

Set for an Australian debut in the second half of 2024, the refreshed GV70 medium SUV gets subtly updated styling with a new “double-layered” chrome banding in the G-Matrix Crest Grille and larger intakes in the lower bumper.

New-look 19-inch wheels feature at the corners, while the Sport package gets 21-inch alloys and a “dark chrome” finish to the rear diffuser and muffler tips. All models also get a new camera module at the rear to deliver a digital centre mirror experience.

Buyers should note, however, that like the updated GV80, this new display is unlikely to bring access to wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

Genesis does away with the GV70's unpopular diesel option, and getting into a GV80 is now a lot more expensive...

It’s still well behind legacy rivals, however, with Lexus moving 1478 Lexus NX SUVs year-to-date, followed by the BMW X3 (773), Audi Q5 (574) and the Mercedes GLC (589 wagon, 267 Coupe). The Tesla Model Y remains dominant, however, with 6835 sold over the same period.

Comparison

Forget showy electric SUVs; this twin test is about making the jump to electrons as easy as possible. But one is far more luxurious than the other…
