Video Summary

Here is the summary of the YouTube video review of the 2026 Genesis GV70:

The Genesis GV70 is Hyundai's premium brand. The 2026 model has a reworked nose, new micro lens array headlights, a fresher lower fascia, and reshaped dual pipes. The rear spoiler improves aerodynamics. The vehicle has Hydro Bushings that use fluid inside to absorb energy and reduce vibrations to improve ride comfort. The V6 has Road Preview, a front camera and navigation system that recognizes road conditions to control the suspension. There are standard 4-piston monoblock calipers with ventilated discs. The 21-inch wheels have hollow resonators in the rim that reduce tire noise. The price starts at just under $50,000. The top trim V6 Sport Prestige model has a $72,225 sticker. It’s built in Montgomery, Alabama, and Genesis also does dual sourcing out of Korea because it can't build enough in Alabama.

It is suggested to those considering the competition to also take a look at the GV70 because it's nice. It is different, with a 2-line design that is distinctive, particularly at night. The high-tech 27-inch OLED screen is easy to read even in direct sunlight. The hard buttons and dedicated controls are a plus.

The standard turbocharged 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine makes 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. The twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 pumps out 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet using specified premium fuel. The V6 sounds great and moves.
Voice control is all native, so no subscription is required to get it when you buy the car.
It is emphasized that the ADAS is refined. All GV70s are rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds.
There is a big dallop of sport to the vehicle. There’s a Sport mode and a Sport+ that turns off the stability controls for fun.
The vehicle handles well and is smooth with the adaptive cruise. The lane changes are well managed. It automatically slows down before the lane change if there is a vehicle ahead and has no slamming of the brakes. Road and wind noise is minimal. A finger touch is all that’s needed on the wheel when highway driving assist is engaged.

Rear seat knee, leg, and foot room is fine. Cushions are long and high for thigh support. The rears have a separate climate zone, and even heated seats. Charge pads are standard on all but the base car. There are seatback pockets, too. And also points to move the seat from the back.

The limited space for the spine down the middle cuts into the rear foot room. The Trunk Volume remains 29 cubic feet.
