Road & Track
Road & Track approached the GV70 from an enthusiast's perspective, acknowledging that while the SUV is not a sports car, its driving dynamics are 'impressively rounded.' The review praises the 3.5T V-6, noting it 'pulls hard' and sounds 'smooth and muted' when called upon. The eight-speed automatic is quick to downshift and keeps the engine in the proper torque band. Road & Track appreciates the adaptive suspension's ability to 'battle imperfect asphalt' without disrupting the serene interior. The steering is accurately weighted but lacks the communicative feedback of a BMW X3 M40i. The interior is called 'authentically luxurious,' with unique touches like the rotating infotainment controller and the 'Buttercream' quilted leather option. The testers noted that the GV70's driving position feels slightly high, but outward visibility is good. The biggest criticism lies in the standard safety system's occasional 'false alarms' and the lack of a performance variant at launch. The article concludes that the GV70 is a 'remarkable first effort' from Genesis in this segment, delivering a dynamically satisfying experience that 'punches well above its price point' and earns high praise for its style and substance.

Car and Driver
Car and Driver consistently ranks the Genesis GV70 among the best compact luxury SUVs, praising its athletic chassis, sumptuous interior, and standout value. The standard 300-hp 2.5-liter turbo four is smooth and responsive, while the optional 375-hp twin-turbo V6 delivers serious pace, hitting 60 mph in 4.5 seconds in their testing. The precise steering and controlled ride strike an excellent balance between comfort and sportiness. The cabin features a gorgeous design, high-quality materials, and a large 14.5-inch touchscreen, though some touch-based controls can distract. Standard safety features are generous. The GV70 has earned C/D's Editors' Choice award, and the editors conclude that it out-drives and out-values rivals like the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Mercedes-Benz GLC. While the rear seat is a bit snug and cargo space is average, the overall package is hard to fault at its price point.

MotorTrend
MotorTrend awarded the Genesis GV70 its coveted 2022 SUV of the Year title, calling it 'the new benchmark' in the compact luxury segment. In a grueling five-day evaluation that included mountain roads, off-road sections, and instrumented testing, the GV70 beat rivals including the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Lincoln Corsair. MT praised the available 375-hp twin-turbo V6, which launched their test vehicle to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, accompanied by a rich, throaty exhaust note. The rear-biased all-wheel-drive system and multilink suspension give the GV70 sharp turn-in and excellent body control, resulting in a genuinely engaging driving experience. Inside, judges lauded the quality of materials, comfortable and supportive front seats, and quiet highway cruiser demeanor. Minor criticisms were directed at overzealous driver monitoring alerts and slightly limited rear headroom. MT concluded that no other SUV in the class delivers this combination of style, performance, luxury, and warranty coverage for the price.
