Video Summary

Here's a summary of the YouTube video provided:

The GV70 gets a refresh, although external changes are minor, and you need to be a "Genesis file" to spot them. The front fascia and grill have a new pattern. The rear turn signals are updated.
The base engine is a 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder with 300 horsepower, while the reviewed model has a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 with 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard.
The base trim comes with a 27-inch OLED display with navigation. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charger, leatherette upholstery, and heated front seats are standard.
The base model also includes 12-way power driver's seat with lumbar support, 8-way power passenger seat, heated steering wheel, and hands-free power liftgate.
Driver-assist technology includes steering wheel hands-on detection and improved lane-following assist. It features upgraded remote smart parking assist and diagonal parking capabilities.
All GV70s now have liquid-filled bushings in the suspension to reduce vibration. A passive damping system provides less vibration in the cabin. Those equipped with 21-inch wheels have noise-canceling wheel technology, and active noise control via the stereo system.
A major improvement is the new, more sporty steering wheel. Better cup holders are also featured in the interior.
The reviewers found the interior to be the best in its class. The 3.5T engine makes this vehicle extremely fast. They compare the GV70 to the BMW X3 and find that the Genesis is a luxury vehicle with a good warranty. The GV70 with the V6 rivals its German competitors, at a good value. It provides a nice blend of performance and comfort.
