2024 Genesis GV70

2026 Genesis GV70 Performance

The 2026 Genesis GV70 delivers an engaging and spirited driving experience that stands out in the luxury compact SUV segment. The base 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, providing plenty of power for daily driving around Manchester, NH. This engine accelerates the GV70 from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 6.0 seconds, making highway merging onto I-93 and passing on Route 101 feel confident and effortless. The turbo-four delivers smooth and linear power that responds quickly when you press the accelerator. The eight-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and intelligently, holding gears when you want to drive spiritedly and upshifting early for relaxed cruising. Despite being a compact SUV, the GV70 feels nimble and responsive, with precise steering that provides good feedback and makes the vehicle feel smaller than it actually is.

For drivers who crave more performance, the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine unleashes 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. This powerful engine propels the GV70 from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds, delivering genuine performance that rivals sports sedans. The V-6 pulls strongly at any speed and makes passing effortless on two-lane roads. The Sport Prestige models add performance enhancements including an electronically controlled suspension with road preview technology that reads the road surface ahead and adjusts damping in real-time. An electronic limited-slip differential optimizes traction and gives you more control when taking corners by distributing power between the rear wheels based on driving conditions. The GV70 offers multiple drive modes including Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus that dramatically change the character of the SUV. Sport Plus mode sharpens throttle response, firms up the suspension, and adds weight to the steering for maximum engagement.

New Hampshire drivers will appreciate the GV70's standard all-wheel drive system and new Terrain Mode feature. Terrain Mode allows you to optimize vehicle performance for snow, mud, or sand conditions, making it perfect for exploring New England's varied terrain. The intelligent AWD system constantly monitors road conditions and distributes power to maximize traction on slippery surfaces. The GV70 strikes an excellent balance between sporty handling and ride comfort. While it isn't as track-focused as a Porsche Macan, it handles twisty mountain roads with composure and confidence. The suspension absorbs bumps smoothly while still providing enough firmness to keep body roll in check during spirited driving. New for 2026, Highway Body Motion Control manages front and rear damping forces during acceleration and deceleration, working with the front camera and adaptive suspension to deliver exceptional ride smoothness. The result is an SUV that feels planted and stable at highway speeds yet comfortable enough for daily commuting. Whether you're navigating downtown Manchester traffic or enjoying a weekend drive through the White Mountains, the GV70 delivers an engaging and refined driving experience.
