The model
Read full Genesis GV70 reviewThe Genesis GV70 has a lot going for it, with competitive pricing, a long warranty, lots of equipment and one of the most luxurious interiors in the family SUV class. It's not as rounded as the Audi Q5, but it's still a convincing left-field choice. We recommend the smooth but punchy 2.5-litre petrol engine with Sport trim.
The trim
See full equipmentTop-spec Luxury features the same extras as Sport but also gets a set of massive 21in wheels and does without the sportier appearance. We don’t feel this is worth the extra outlay, especially when you consider that the larger wheels have a detrimental effect on ride quality.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 201bhp diesel is impressively quick, with a 0-62mph time of 7.6secs (just a touch behind a Q5 40 TDI). There’s also plenty of low-end shove and a decent spread of power across the rev range. However, the diesel emits a coarse rumble during acceleration, and unlike in the Q5 40 TDI, that rumble is always there at a cruise, which can get a little tiring after a while.
