2025 Genesis GV70 Goes Wireless with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
The highly anticipated 2025 Genesis GV70 has raised the bar yet again, particularly for buyers in search of a compact luxury crossover. With its latest updates, the 2025 model has incorporated advanced features designed to enhance convenience and connectivity.
Key Updates for 2025
One of the standout changes in the 2025 Genesis GV70 is the introduction of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for both gasoline and battery-powered variants. This move toward a wireless ecosystem underscores Genesis’ commitment to integrating seamless technology in their vehicles.
Genesis Connected Services is another notable addition, allowing owners to remotely control several vehicle functions such as starting the engine and adjusting climate settings. This feature epitomizes convenience, enabling users to interact with their vehicle even from a distance.
Refreshed Color Palette
The 2025 GV70 also brings a fresh take on its exterior aesthetics with an updated color palette. Cardiff Green and Brunswick Green have been retired, making way for the all-new Stowe Green, Stowe Green Matte, Matterhorn White Matte, and Makalu Grey Matte color options. For the Electrified GV70, the change is fewer but significant, with Makalu Grey being removed from the paint options list.
Powertrains
Despite these enhancements, the powertrain configurations remain consistent with the previous model years. The gasoline-powered GV70 continues to offer a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 300 horsepower, and a twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 with 375 horsepower. Both engine options come paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and feature all-wheel drive as standard.
The Electrified GV70 impresses with a 77.4 kWh battery pack, delivering a robust 429-horsepower dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, which boasts an EPA-estimated range of 236 miles on a single charge.
Pricing
The 2025 GV70 lineup is now available for order. The standard GV70 starts at $47,050, including a $1,350 destination charge, while the electric version starts at $68,300. These competitive pricing details align with Genesis’ mission to offer luxury without compromise.
Looking Ahead: 2026 Model Year
Genesis has already teased some exciting updates for the 2026 GV70 and Electrified GV70 models. Announced updates include exterior styling tweaks and a redesigned dashboard featuring a single display panel integrating both a digital gauge cluster and an infotainment screen. These enhancements are expected to further elevate the GV70’s appeal in a highly competitive segment.
As Genesis continues to evolve its offerings, the 2025 GV70 sets a new benchmark in the compact luxury crossover market, combining sophisticated technology, robust performance, and refined aesthetics.
