2022 Genesis GV70 SUV debuts with spectacular looks – Roadshow [CNET]

Genesis finally revealed the first photos of its new GV70 crossover without any camouflage on Wednesday, and it looks absolutely incredible. The GV70 will slot under the GV80 in the automaker’s lineup, essentially existing as the G70 sedan’s SUV counterpart. While Genesis hasn’t announced any real details about the GV70 just yet, there’s still a lot to talk about.

The GV70 takes obvious design cues from the GV80 and G80, with four thin LED headlights and taillights, a massive crest grille and a swage line that starts from the hood and falls back toward the taillights. The greenhouse gives us total Porsche 928 vibes (in a good way), with a body-color C-pillar and rear quarter window that give the GV70 a look unlike any other car on the road.

It’s the interior where things get especially radical. The GV70 has the same football-shaped steering wheel as the GV80, and that oval shape is carried through in the design of the dashboard. The climate controls consist of some physical buttons and a digital screen, and are situated in an oval that’s bisected by the steering wheel, with more buttons on the left side and some others integrated into the aluminum trim. A large touchscreen sits atop the dash, and some thin air vents are partly hidden in a piece of trim that encircles the entire interior.
