Previously, our exposure to the Genesis GV70 has exclusively been with the twin-turbocharged V-6 3.5T model. Now, we’ve finally had a chance to try the four-cylinder 2.5T version.
The Genesis GV70 competes in the compact luxury SUV segment against the BMW X3, Lexus RX, and many others.

Torque from the turbo four measures 311 pound-feet, versus 391 for the six. Despite the lesser output, the 2.5T still hustled to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds.

The 2.5T’s EPA fuel economy of 22/28 mpg city/highway improves on the 3.5T’s 19-/25-mpg estimates.
