- The new GV70 carries over some of its new components from the larger 2025 GV80.
- Powertrain specifications for the updated model have not yet been announced.
- Subtle changes have been made to the GV70’s exterior, including a revised grille.
Genesis has rolled out a mid-cycle update to its compelling GV70 SUV, launching in South Korea in May before rolling out to global markets.
The overall exterior design of the new model remains very similar to the previous GV70 model, although some improvements have been made. For example, there is a new dual-weave mesh front grille and the two-line headlights use the brand’s latest MLA technology. The front end also includes a new skid plate.

Other updates to the 2025 GV70 include new 19-inch Dark Hyper Silver wheels. The rear indicators have also been moved from the bumpers to the taillights, there is a revised rear spoiler and reshaped exhaust tips.
Major changes were made to the interior. Like the refreshed GV80, the new GV70 forgoes the previous model’s separate digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen, opting instead for a single 27-inch display. The elliptical shape of the screen used for climate controls has also been removed in favor of a simpler rectangular display. Luckily, Genesis didn’t completely abandon the GV70’s elliptical design and moved it to the vents.
The carmaker has also installed a new steering wheel, similar to the one on the 2025 GV80. The ambient lighting system has also been optimized.
Further changes were made to the GV70 Sport. It comes standard with a bespoke G-Matrix crest grille, enlarged air intakes, 21-inch dark metal wheels, a dark chrome rear diffuser and muffler tips, a unique steering wheel and orange contrast stitching.
Genesis has not yet announced powertrain specifications for the 2025 GV70, but we expect the same engine options to be available. These include a 2.2-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel, a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6. The GV70 Electrified is also expected to receive the same updates as the rest of the ICE range.
