The engine uses a twin-turbocharged 3.3 liter V6 or a turbocharged 2.0 liter with a four-cylinder. The all-wheel-drive system will be optional for this model, and all of them are coming with an eight-speed automatic transmission. With luxurious features, GV70 will quickly be a valuable player in the SUV market.

Interior of 2022 Genesis GV70
The interior design uses the Recaro seats in the front; it also uses the roll cage at the back. The seats themselves are used for the prototype models. It is installed before the rear seats are added. Yet, as the premium SUV, they might not use the Recaro seats. It may come as an option, but not for the standard features. The roll cage is the same; it will not be added for mass production.
The premium materials are everywhere. From the dashboard, they use the same material as the GV80. That series covers the dash with leather added with infotainment screening sitting on the top of the dashboard. The AC vents are thin; it separates the lower section of the dashboard from the upper section.
Drivers may find very few switches, buttons, and knobs. But there are two control panels, one of them to control the thermostat, and another panel controls the infotainment system. As the Genesis model, the GV70 has well-appointed and comfortable seats, like other Genesis series.
