We suspect some buyers might prefer a volume knob to Genesis’s volume roller. It feels modern while avoiding gimmickry. “Gorgeous” is an appropriate description for the 5-passenger 2022 GV70’s interior. The GV70’s maximum towing capacity is 3,500 pounds (1,588 kilograms), topping the QX50 by 500 pounds (227 kilograms). From there, the GV70's standard all-wheel-drive (AWD) system apportions power to the appropriate tire as traction demands, though during sedate commutes, most of that thrust is directed to the rear wheels. Keep in mind: Genesis’s 5-year/100,000-kilometre factory tops the Infiniti program by one extra year and 20,000 extra kilometres.įrom either engine, power is directed to a competent 8-speed automatic transmission. Compared to the base 4-cylinder, more power (375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque) is available with the 3.5-litre turbocharged V6 but at the cost of an 11.6 L/100 km combined estimate.

The base GV70 3.5T Sport AWD trim gets a turbocharged 6-cylinder, starts at $68,000, and tops out with the $75,500 3.5T Sport Plus AWD, adding features such as Electronic Limited Slip Differential and additional active safety technologies. The most expensive 4-cylinder trim is the $63,000 Prestige AWD, which includes such niceties as Electronic Suspension Control, leather seating, and a Lexicon audio system. But its 9.7 litres per 100 kilometres (L/100 km) combined city and highway fuel economy can't match the Infiniti's more frugal 9.0 L/100 km estimate. With 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, the GV70's base 2.5-litre engine is plenty powerful for most drivers. A turbocharged 4-cylinder gas engine, leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, and 18-inch alloy wheels are standard highlights. The 2022 GV70 has a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $49,000 in Canadian dollars for the base 2.5T Select AWD trim. Built atop the same rear-wheel-drive platform as Genesis’s G70 compact luxury/sport sedan, the GV70 SUV has a sporting demeanour and stance.
