The GV70 has been around since late 2020, so Genesis figured it was time for a mid-cycle refresh. After more than 200,000 units sold, the luxury crossover gets a mild exterior makeover and a major update inside.
The 2025 GV70 replaces its split-screen display with the same 27.0-inch OLED display we saw last year in the G80, GV80, and GV80 Coupe. There are other changes besides the extra-large screen, though. The climate control panel has a new look and the shortcut buttons for media settings have been relocated. They used to be below the smaller HVAC display, but now they’re above it. The previous Genesis had silver-colored buttons, while the new ones are gloss black and flanked by a pair of silver knobs that the old model didn’t have.
The two-tone steering wheel gets a new winged Genesis logo while the center air vents are now housed in an oval cutout with gloss black trim. Hyundai’s luxury brand says it has tweaked the ambient lighting and made further changes to the GV70 Sport. More exciting trim levels get a flat-bottom steering wheel and contrasting orange stitching.
On the outside, the GV70 is largely unchanged. The large, imposing grille gets a new pattern for the standard and Sport models. Genesis has added a pseudo skid plate to accentuate the vehicle’s appearance and has designed new 19-inch alloy wheels. The slightly revised headlights and taillights continue the “Two Line” motif. Rounding out the exterior changes is a reshaped exhaust.
As you’d expect from Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis products–today’s reveal is all about design changes, which are likely also planned for the GV70 Electrified. Well, minus the new exhaust setup, of course. We’ll have to wait a little longer for the technical specifications.
