The official premiere of a luxury SUV Genesis GV70 Although she showed us all the exterior and interior elements, we had to wait a few more days for details about the technology. The carmaker has only boasted of them now and revealed which engines customers can expect hot news under the hood.
The basis of the offer is a 2.2-liter turbodiesel with an output of 156 kW and 441 newtonmeters of torque. All engines are combined with an eight-speed automatic transmission, on request you can choose between rear and all-wheel drive. The weight of the diesel unit has been reduced by using an aluminum engine block, while the acceleration is to improve the friction-reducing ball-bearing turbocharger.

A more interesting alternative is two supercharged petrol units. The four-cylinder with a volume of 2.5 liters has an output of 226 kW and 421 newton meters of torque, the top in the form of a 3.5-liter six-cylinder boasts 283 kW and a torque of 529 newton meters. The engines are equipped with a twin-scroll turbocharger and the most powerful version reaches 100 km / h in 5.1 seconds. While the smaller petrol station also gives a choice of propulsion, the larger one is always an ATV.

The Genesis GV70 is headed for its first customers in South Korea. Deliveries to the United States are expected in the second half of 2021. Of course, we are eagerly awaiting the long-announced arrival in European markets, which seems to be on the decline. “Europe is a spiritual place in the premium car market and I am sure that the models we plan to offer here will be a pleasant surprise for many people.” said Genesis operational chief Dominique Boesch some time ago.
