The GV70 has been around since late 2020, so Genesis believes the time is right for a mid-cycle update. After more than 200,000 units sold, the luxury crossover is getting slight exterior changes and a huge update inside. No more separate digital instrument cluster and infotainment as the two are now unified.
The 2025 GV70 features the same 27-inch OLED display that we saw last year on the G80, GV80, and the GV80 Coupe. There are other changes beyond the extra-large screen as the separate panel for the climate controls gets a new look. Additionally, the shortcut buttons for media settings have been moved. Previously they sat under the smaller HVAC screen and now they are above it. Genesis previously fitted silver keys, while the new ones are glossy black and are flanked by a pair of silver buttons that the old model didn’t have.
The two-tone steering wheel gets the new Genesis winged logo while the central air vents are now housed in an oval piece of gloss black trim. The Hyundai luxury brand mentions that it has tweaked the ambient lighting and made other changes to the GV70 Sport. The most exciting trim level gets a flat-bottomed steering wheel and contrasting orange stitching.
Coming out, the GV70 hasn’t changed much. The imposing grille gets a new pattern for the standard and Sport models. Genesis added a pseudo skid plate to enhance the vehicle’s appearance and designed new 19-inch wheels. The slightly updated headlights and taillights continue to embrace the “Two Lines” motif. The exterior modifications are complemented by reshaped exhaust finishes.
As you would expect from Hyundai, Kia and Genesis products, today’s reveal is all about the design changes, which are likely also planned for the GV70 Electrified. Well, obviously without the new exhaust setup. We will have to wait a little longer for the technical specifications.
