Genesis has rapidly established itself as a luxury brand that delivers sophistication, technology, and value in the premium automotive market. The Korean automaker's SUV lineup offers three distinct options for discerning buyers: the all-electric 2025 Genesis GV60, the versatile 2025 Genesis GV70, and the flagship 2025 Genesis GV80. Each vehicle caters to different needs and preferences, from the tech-forward urbanite to the family seeking spacious luxury. Understanding the differences between these three models is essential for anyone considering a Genesis SUV.

The 2025 Genesis GV60 represents a bold leap into the electric vehicle future. As the brand's first dedicated electric SUV built on the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the Genesis GV60 showcases cutting-edge technology wrapped in a distinctively futuristic design. This compact luxury crossover seats five passengers and offers an engaging driving experience that separates it from its siblings.

Under the hood, or rather, under the floor, the 2025 Genesis GV60 features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup in most configurations. A rear-wheel-drive option is available in the base trim. The Advanced AWD model produces 314 horsepower. Whereas the Performance model cranks out an impressive 429 horsepower with the Boost mode engaged. This power translates to exhilarating acceleration, with the Performance variant sprinting from 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds! Range is a critical factor for electric vehicles, and the 2025 Genesis GV60 delivers competitive numbers with an EPA-estimated range of up to 248 miles, depending on the configuration. The vehicle supports 800-volt ultra-fast charging, enabling a 10-80% charge in approximately 18 minutes, under ideal conditions at a compatible DC fast charger.

Inside, the 2025 Genesis GV60 embraces technology with a dual-screen setup, a Crystal Sphere electronic gear selector that illuminates and rotates when the vehicle is activated, AND sustainable interior materials. The cabin feels modern and airy, though cargo space is modest at 24.0 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expanding to 55.9 cubic feet with the seats folded.

The 2025 Genesis GV70 occupies the sweet spot in Genesis's SUV lineup as a compact luxury crossover that balances sportiness, practicality, and elegance. Available with both traditional internal combustion engines and as an all-electric variant, this model offers flexibility for buyers not yet ready to commit fully to electric propulsion.

The standard 2025 Genesis GV70 comes with a choice of two turbocharged engines: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder producing 300 horsepower or a muscular 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 generating 375 horsepower. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The 2025 Electrified 2025 Genesis GV70 mirrors much of the 2025 Genesis GV60 electric powertrain. It offers 429 horsepower and impressive acceleration while providing an EPA-estimated range of around 236 miles. The 2025 Genesis GV70 also emphasizes driving dynamics, with well-tuned suspension that delivers a sporty yet comfortable ride. It's the most athletic of the three Genesis SUVs, appealing to drivers who prioritize handling and engagement behind the wheel without sacrificing luxury amenities.

From a design perspective, the 2025 Genesis GV70 presents a more conventional yet striking appearance with Genesis's signature crest grille, athletic proportions, and quad LED headlights. The interior exudes sophistication with high-quality materials, excellent build quality, and a driver-focused cockpit layout. Rear-seat passengers enjoy comfortable accommodations, and cargo capacity is generous at 28.9 cubic feet behind the second row, expanding to 56.5 cubic feet total.

The 2025 Genesis GV80 serves as Genesis's flagship SUV. It offers three-row seating and the most spacious, luxurious experience in the brand's crossover lineup. This midsize luxury SUV competes directly with established players like the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Audi Q7.

Power comes from either a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 300 horsepower or a robust 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 delivering 375 horsepower. Both engines work with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The 2025 Genesis GV80 prioritizes comfort and refinement over outright sportiness, though it remains composed and confident on the road.

The exterior design of the 2025 Genesis GV80 makes a bold statement with its commanding presence, split headlight design, and elegant proportions. The interior elevates Genesis's luxury credentials with available Nappa leather, real wood trim, and meticulous attention to detail throughout. The cabin feels airy and upscale, with space for up to seven passengers when equipped with the third row. Cargo capacity is impressive at 13.5 cubic feet behind the third row, 45.7 cubic feet behind the second row, and 84.4 cubic feet with all rear seats folded. This makes the 2025 Genesis GV80 the practical choice for families or those who regularly transport passengers and cargo. Technology features include a large infotainment screen, premium audio systems, and comprehensive driver assistance features that make long journeys comfortable and safe.

All three Genesis SUVs share the brand's commitment to luxury, technology, and value. Each model comes standard with an impressive suite of safety features, premium materials, and Genesis's industry-leading warranty coverage. The design language across the 2025 Genesis SUV lineup maintains family resemblance while allowing each vehicle to express its unique character.

The most significant difference lies in propulsion: the 2025 Genesis GV60 is exclusively electric; the 2025 Genesis GV70 offers both gas and electric options; the 2025 Genesis GV80 remains purely internal combustion. This creates distinct ownership experiences, from charging considerations with the 2025 GV60 to traditional refueling with the 2025 GV80. Size and capacity differentiate these models considerably. The 2025 GV60 is the most compact with seating for five and the smallest cargo area. The 2025 GV70 offers similar passenger capacity with slightly more cargo versatility. The 2025 GV80 dominates in space with optional third-row seating and substantially more room for people and cargo. 

Driving character varies across the lineup. The 2025 GV60 delivers instant electric torque and a futuristic experience. The 2025 GV70 emphasizes sporty handling and driver engagement. The 2025 GV80 prioritizes comfort, refinement, and a commanding road presence. Price points reflect these differences: the 2025 GV60 starting around $53,000, the 2025 GV70 beginning near $48,000, and the 2025 GV80 opening at approximately $60,000.

Regardless of which model you choose, Genesis delivers exceptional value in the luxury segment with standard features, warranties, and build quality. Each SUV in this trio represents the brand's commitment to challenging the status quo and providing thoughtfully designed vehicles that don't require compromise. Test driving all three models is the best way to determine which Genesis SUV aligns perfectly with your needs.
