Overall Observations
The stylish midsize GV70 crossover, new for 2022, has the headturning
good looks that generate a lot of second glances. Its
aggressive stance and distinctive details, such as slit-like LED
headlights and taillights, give off a vibe that’s equal parts sports car
and luxury sedan - and in a package that costs thousands of dollars less
than the competition.
That impression is reinforced by the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged
V6, 8-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel-drive system. An
electronically controlled adaptive suspension strikes an optimal
balance between ride comfort and responsive handling.
The posh, quiet cabin is lined in genuine quilted leather upholstery
with suede inserts and carbon fiber trim. The driver’s seat (heated and
ventilated, with massage) is especially comfortable and supportive.
Other amenities on our tester included an optional panoramic sunroof.
Still, there are a few negatives: The GV70’s infotainment system
and some controls on the dash and center console are unintuitive,
the transmission shifts lack smoothness at times, and fuel economy is
subpar (21 mpg in combined driving).
