Are you in the market for a new luxury SUV to drive all over Alcoa, TN? You can find what you want at Genesis of West Knoxville, where you can find a brand-new Genesis GV70. But how does the GV70 compare to similar luxury vehicles, like the Audi SQ5. MotorTrend recently took a close look at both models, and the GV70 came out on top. Here is how they stack up.
Performance
The GV70 comes standard with a 2.5-liter turbo I-4 engine with 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. An available 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine with 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque provides even more excitement. The SQ5 has one engine option: a 3.0-liter V-6 engine with 349 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. MotorTrend pointed out that the GV70 has more available power than the SQ5, which might make it stand out for customers in Sevierville.
Interior Design
MotorTrend praised the interior design of GV70, noting that while both models have luxurious interiors, the GV70 "stood out." The publication praised the attention to detail in the GV70, noting how visually creative the cabin is. They also noted that the SQ5 did not generate as much excitement. They called the SQ5 elegant, but felt it wasn't as well-designed as the GV70. If you want a luxury vehicle with a jaw-dropping cabin in Clinton, TN, the GV70 is a great option.
Safety
MotorTrend noted that both the GV70 and SQ5 have plenty of safety features, so either option can give you peace of mind on the road in Maryville, TN. However, they found that the Genesis lane-centering systems were more responsive than the similar systems for the SQ5.
Final Verdict
While MotorTrend had plenty of positive things to say about both the Genesis GV70 and Audi SQ5, they ultimately preferred the GV70 thanks to its styling, attention to detail, spaciousness, and lower price.
