The model
Read full Genesis GV70 reviewThe GV70 has a lot going for it, including competitive pricing, a long warranty, a five-year servicing package, a high level of standard equipment and one of the most luxurious interiors in the family SUV class. And while it's not quite as rounded as the Audi Q5, the GV70 is a convincing left-field choice. That said, company car users will want to look elsewhere, because rival large SUVs with plug-in hybrid technology are far less costly for benefit-in-kind tax.
The trim
See full equipmentEntry-level Premium is surprisingly good value for money as it gets dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, a leather interior and 19in alloy wheels as standard.
The engine
See full engine specsFeeding 300bhp to all four wheels, the 2.5T petrol is certainly quick and gets you from 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds, matching the Audi Q5 45 TFSI. Performance at low and mid revs is good but you’ll find that you have to work the engine quite hard to get the best out of it, causing a fair amount of engine noise.
