About this video
After six months and over 10,000km it’s time to give our verdict on a promising addition to the luxury SUV segment: the Genesis GV70.
The focus of this video is on the top-spec Signature Sport with the twin-turbo 3.5L six under the bonnet, which commands $110K before on-road costs – around $30,000 cheaper than equivalent grades of the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi SQ5.
Production specialist Tom Place has been the custodian of the GV70 during its time at Chasing Cars, where the SUV has served as his family car, travelled across the country and taken part in a three-way comparison.
In this video, we’ll outline our top five hits and top five misses and provide our final verdict on the GV70, as well as pointing out which grade is the one to buy.
