The popular Genesis GV70 midsize luxury SUV is getting its first major redesign for the 2026 model year, and it looks incredible. The most notable change is the massive new 27-inch infotainment and digital dashboard screen that integrates seamlessly into the elegant, rounded interior design. New HVAC controls and repositioned volume/tuning knobs add to the premium ambiance inside.
The 2026 Genesis GV70 will offer two robust turbocharged engine options. The base 2.5-liter inline-four delivers a potent 300 horsepower, while the available 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 pumps out 375 horsepower for truly spine-tingling performance. Drivers in Knoxville will appreciate the confident acceleration when merging onto I-40 or I-75.
For those who like to venture off pavement occasionally, the GV70 adds a new Terrain Mode with settings optimized for snow, mud, and sand. However, this is still primarily a road-focused SUV, now with a Highway Body Motion Control system that utilizes forward-facing cameras to read the road ahead and optimize the dampers for a smooth, comfortable ride. It's perfect for weekend getaways from Sevierville or Clinton, TN to the Great Smoky Mountains.
The exterior of the 2026 Genesis GV70 gets an athletic refresh with a "dual weave" grille design, striking dual-line headlights, and a bolder front bumper with expanded lower grille openings. The GV70 Sport trim amps up the visual drama even more with a two-tone grille, larger air intakes, exclusive 21-inch wheels, and Magma orange accents that carry into the dark blue and black interior.
Genesis of West Knoxville will have a wide selection of the redesigned Genesis GV70 midsize luxury SUVs available for Maryville and Oak Ridge, TN drivers when it launches in early 2025. The sleek new looks, potent turbo power, and advanced technology make the GV70 a compelling choice in its class. Contact Genesis of West Knoxville to reserve a test drive in the new GV70 and see why it's one of the most anticipated new models coming soon to Alcoa and the Greater Knoxville area.
