We're getting comfortable with our 2022 GenesisUSA GV70 3.5T:
, our biggest regret was not getting the more powerful engine. So, we made sure to not make the same mistake this time. We skipped over the GV70's standard 300-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four in favor of the optional 375-hp twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6.
After a roughly 1700-mile road trip bisecting the eastern part of the country, the GV70 hit the track for its initial test. The sprint to 60 mph took 4.6 seconds, and the Genesis reached the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds at 104 mph. So far, we're averaging 21 mpg, and that figure matches the EPA's combined rating. On our 75-mph highway test loop, we achieved 23 mpg, slightly lower than the EPA's 25-mpg estimate.Upgrading to the 3.
If you do get after it on a back road, the 16-way power driver's seat bolsters hug you and keep you snug when cornering. As part of the Sport Prestige package, our car is equipped with suede seat inserts and headliner and has carbon-fiber trim. These materials help create a posh interior environment that reminds us of far more expensive SUVs, and we're sure to enjoy 40,000 miles in an interior this sublime. The GV70 3.
In its comparison-test win, we said that"the GV70 puts an exclamation point on Genesis's ability to compete in the heart of the luxury market." Over the next 40,000 miles, we'll let you know if that punctuation still stands.
