genesis updates gv70 for 2025 releases pricing

Standing still is a great way to get run over, especially in the cutthroat segment which is the luxury midsize crossover game. Genesis has just released images of its 2025 GV70, packing an enormous new infotainment screen but only a moderate price hike.

It’ll take the most eagle of eyes to discern exterior changes, a least absent a 2025 model parked side-by-each next to an equivalent from the previous year. New lighting technology is apparently baked into those trademark two-line headlamps, while the grille is said to have gained a skiff of new detail work. Around back, the turn signals align a bit better on plane with the front lamps, along with a new module cropping up on the rear spoiler studded with cameras for reverse gear and mirror duties. New paint choices are on tap for 2025 including a raft of matte options.

Inside, it is much easier to spy the improvements. Gone are the separate units of gauge cluster and infotainment system, replaced with a 27.0-inch OLED display integrating the two in a single horizontal layout. This brand is better than most when it comes to designing a usable interface for this type of gear, so we’re intrigued to learn how Genesis will creatively use all this newfound digital real estate. The ventilation controls are now described as ‘touch based’ which generally gives us the vapors but at least we can see that large surface areas for those duties remain just below the air conditioning vents. Peep close and you’ll also see a fettled Genesis logo on the steering wheel.

Pricing has also appeared deep in the bowels of Genesis’ media site, explaining a 2025 GV70 2.5T AWD model will start at $45,700 which is just $600 more than 2024 model as indicated by the customer-facing build-and-price tool. Assuming the new screens and such are part and parcel of all trims, and there is nothing to suggest they are not, this is more than reasonable. The range tops out at $67,900 for a GV70 3.5T in Sport Prestige trim.

This message is for Matthew Guy. I just want to say thank you for the photo article titled Tailgate Party: Ford Talks Truck Innovations. It was really interesting. I did not see on the home page and almost would have missed it. I think it should be posted like Corey's Cadillac series. 🙂

  Even with the electric, big mistake in not having an HEV variant.
  However, there are rumblings that Genesis has been working on a 2.5T hybrid powertrain which would suit the GV70, but probably won't be ready til the next gen model.

Fred We want our manufacturing to pay good wages, provide healthcare, not pollute and provide a safe workplace. Many places around the world don't, so we put a tariff on them to force them. That's the way it should be, but I'm afraid this is just a political move by Biden to take away one of Trump's talking points.
Orange260z Modern Cadillac sedans look and drive great. Yeah, the interior materials aren't quite as good as the competition, but if they undercut them in price it can offset. IMHO, they need to step up in a big way on their warranty, service and customer service. H/K/G shows confidence in the quality of the product by offering long standard B2B warranties and low-cost exclusionary extensions. My Caddy became a money pit after the warranty with only 75K kms; yes, the Germans do that, but they have the established cachet that they get away with it. They need to make sure that their cars still look good after 10 years (i.e. no trim issues, no undercarriage rust issues, etc) - my CTS was all rusty underneath after two years, they told me that was acceptable and not under warranty. Cadillac needs to do more.In Canada, there are few (if any) standalone Cadillac dealerships; they are typically co-located with all the other (remaining) GM brands. However, this doesn't have to be a kiss of death - Lexus successfully built their rep despite co-location, by investing in dedicated Lexus sales areas, sales people, service advisors, technicians, lounge areas with private offices, perks (free coffee/treats, car wash and vacuum with any service, a large complimentary Lexus loaner fleet available for any service visit), etc. By contrast, for Cadillac service I would line up with the 20 other people waiting for one of 5-7 service writers that know nothing about my car because they service 10,000 different GM models, answering a question about maintenance requirements "How am I supposed to know?". During the first 4 years I had access to complimentary Enterprise rental cars as loaners, but I had to spend 20-30 mins going through a car rental process every time. The guy who would do complimentary service washes did so with a big scrub brush he just used to wash a work truck that was covered in mud. They can't sell a premium car with crappy service like that, they have to be better than their competition.If it weren't for these issues I would not have hesitated to buy a new CT5 V-sport (winter DD, want AWD). I bought a G70 instead, we'll see how that goes - but at least I have a long B2B warranty.
Jalop1991 Are tariffs the right answer? Ask China and Japan. They've imposed lots of protectionist tariffs over the years, but somehow our doing so is horrible or something like that.Let's do the Japanese inspection to the Chinese junk imports, and make the Chinese pay for them.BYD--now available at Walmart and Amazon.
Scott This seems very BOEING of FORD....
Mebgardner That's not what I'm talking about, and you know it.
