The 2025 Genesis GV70 is now on sale in Australia, gaining new safety, comfort and convenience features, along with subtle styling changes.
Snapshot
- Advanced, Signature, and Signature Sport trims with 2.5T or 3.5T turbo engines
- 27-inch display, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Over-the-Air updates
- Prices up by $2000 across the range
These additions and tweaks come with a $2000 price bump across the range – attributed to standard increases in manufacturing and shipping costs – with the line-up now starting from $78,500 before on-road costs.
Available in three trim grades – Advanced, Signature, and Signature Sport –the Genesis GV70 is again available with a choice of 224kW/422Nm 2.5T four-cylinder or 279kW/530Nm 3.5T six-cylinder turbocharged petrol engines.
On the styling front, 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.
There’s also new MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology in the otherwise unchanged slender “Two-Line” headlights – all bringing the midsize SUV in line visually with its recently refreshed big brother, the GV80.
The biggest upgrade comes inside, with the addition of an expansive new single-piece 27-inch OLED display in the dash, again taken from the larger GV80.
Features
GV70 Advanced
The entry-level Advanced model includes a 27-inch OLED multimedia display that combines both the instrument cluster and infotainment systems. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Over-the-Air update capability, and an In Cabin Camera are standard.
Safety features include Highway Driving Assist 2, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2, and Lane Following Assist 2, along with Augmented Reality Navigation and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2.
Exterior updates include 19-inch alloy wheels, Micro Lens Array LED headlights, and a Dynamic Welcome Light function.
GV70 Signature
The Signature variant adds a Bang & Olufsen audio system, UV-C sanitisation compartment, Nappa leather seats, Ergo-motion front seats, and a heated steering wheel.
Rear passenger climate control is included, along with the option of the more powerful 3.5T engine. This engine configuration includes additional features like Road Preview Electronic Control Suspension and an electronically controlled Limited-Slip Differential (e-LSD).
GV70 Signature Sport trim
The flagship Signature Sport variant includes a double-mesh grille, larger air intakes on the front bumper, and 21-inch alloy wheels in a dark metallic finish.
Interior features include Magma Orange Nappa leather upholstery, sport seats with unique stitching, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and alloy pedals. Additional functional upgrades include the Sport+ drive mode and dual exhaust tips.
Chassis and noise reduction
Just like a good pair of earbuds, Genesis has incorporated Active Noise Control-Road (ANC-R) tech into the GV70, generating anti-phase sound waves to cancel out road noise within the cabin.
There's also acoustic glass, sound-absorbing wheel designs, and a revised steering system with increased damping to isolate road vibrations.
A newly reinforced body structure improves rigidity and safety, Genesis claims, while the eight-speed auto with a Centrifugal Pendulum Absorber reduces noise and vibration.
Safety and driver assistance
The 2025 GV70 safety suite includes Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control, Lane Following Assist 2, and Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 with expanded functionality.
Intelligent Speed Limit Assist now includes a steering wheel shortcut button, allowing for easier adjustments.
Additional safety systems include Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2, enabling drivers to park the vehicle remotely. A Hands On Detection system is also featured, monitoring whether the driver’s hands are on the wheel and issuing a warning if necessary.
Convenience and connected services
The 2025 GV70 includes convenience features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a fingerprint authentication system, and a Head-Up Display. The 27-inch OLED display can display navigation maps across its full width for enhanced visibility.
Genesis Connected Services, available with a five-year subscription, provides remote features via the Genesis smartphone app, including climate control, lock/unlock, and vehicle diagnostics. Over-the-Air updates enable drivers to keep systems current without visiting a service centre.
