*Disclosure: The 2023 Genesis GV70 3.5T AWD Sport (ICE) was provided to me for testing purposes and editorial consideration. All opinions are 100% my own*
I recently had the pleasure of testing out the 2023 Genesis GV70 3.5T AWD Sport and let me just say it was a real treat. True, I have experienced a few different Genesis models at different events over the last few years, but there is nothing like getting up-close and personal with a vehicle to see how it really performs.
Needless to say, myself along with many others in my area were extremely impressed with the versatility of the small luxury SUV. It’s practical, elegant, athletic, fast, extremely comfortable, with an edge factor.
Quite the list huh?!?!
Yep! This high performer is definitely in a class all its own, which is why it is on my top 5 SUV list for 2023. And I highly doubt it will come off by the end of the year.
2023 Genesis GV70 3.5T AWD Sport
If you know me, you know that I love anything powerful and fast, and this SUV is both and so much MORE.
The five-passenger (best for four), two-row SUVs plush and sophisticated cabin caught my attention immediately. It’s literally an entire vibe. It’s so cool and practical because it’s driver-focused, with screens and controls that are slightly angled toward the driver, and easily accessible by the passenger.
The vehicle also comes equipped with some really cool innovative technology, which includes remote smart parking assist, fingerprint authentication, a Lexicon premium audio system, ambient lighting, three-zone climate control to name a few.
Since we are talking about the GV70s plush cabin and innovative features, I would be remiss if I didn’t speak specifically about the fast-working seat cooling feature. I had the vehicle for a little over 2 weeks, and I used this feature more times that I can count. South Florida, like a lot of other states, is having a heat wave right now, so it is even hotter than usual. Having the ability to cool the seats definitely came in handy and saved me from literally melting throughout the day.

I finally got a chance to do a 0 to 60 test. I put this baby in sport+ and hit it! 0 to 60 in Mid-4 secs. It was my first time, but I think I was pretty accurate. Proud of myself.
Note: Didn’t do launch control, but I wish I had.
