So far so good. But it’s easy enough to make an SUV look and feel nice at this price point. Making one drive well, however, is much more difficult. And this is something the GV70 does with varying degrees of success. The basic handling balance is very obviously set up for comfort, and that it does extremely well with superbly suppressed road and powertrain noise, great bump absorption and general refinement around the suspension. Speed things up a bit, though, and things get a little woolly.
The rest of the running gear is perfectly fine, though. The eight-speed auto is smooth, responsive and not overkeen to kick down for no appreciable reason. The all-wheel-drive system’s rear bias feels a bit lost in the drive – there’s no sense this is mostly rear-wheel drive unlike an Alfa Stelvio – but then the powertrain doesn’t have the guts to reveal any playful antics, so it’s no great loss.
It’s also worth noting that despite its premium status and good equipment list, the GV70’s base price is actually very competitive, starting at £39,450 for the entry-level 2.2-litre diesel, with Sport Line and Luxury Line trims costing an additional £2350 and £3370 respectively. The 300bhp petrol will cost an extra £1550 regardless of chosen trim.
Such a weird review. Subjectively you guys seem to like it but only gets 3.5 stars, even though the car starts significantly lower than the direct competitors and offers a comparable experience. Wild that it's also being compared to a Macan and Stelvio - Genesis has come far
Looks like a cut and shut between a Volvo front end and a Macan/Cayenne rear. But I don't dislike it.
It’s another SUV. Who cares?
