GV70 AWARDED DRIVE CAR OF THE YEAR: BEST MEDIUM SUV UNDER $80K

24.02.2025

24 February 2025 - The Genesis GV70 Advanced has been awarded 2025 Drive Car of the Year Best Medium SUV under $80k.

2025 Drive Car of the Year saw GV70 elevate itself above more than a dozen contenders, including last year’s winner the Lexus NX, to triumph in the Medium SUV under $80k category.

"What makes the Genesis truly special is that it approaches the accessible luxury-car brief differently,” said Drive.com.au.

“It aims high, borrowing design elements from ultra-luxury brands like Bentley, delivering an impeccable experience from the showroom to the road."

GV70 also drew praise for its stunning and beautifully executed interior and for delivering ‘modern luxury, done differently’ in the form of ownership benefits such as its complimentary five years’ servicing.

“Genesis Motors Australia is delighted to accept the 2025 Drive Car of the Year Best Medium SUV under $80k award for our progressive and dynamic GV70 Advanced,” said Head of Genesis Motors Australia, Justin Douglass.

“We are thrilled that the prestigious Drive Car of the Year awards have recognised the design-driven GV70, which perfectly encapsulates the Genesis brand with its combination of performance, opulence, safety and technology,” he said.

The recently enhanced $78,500 (MLP) Genesis GV70 Advanced 2.5T AWD impressed with its refined and potent 224kW, 422Nm 2.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine, impeccable ride comfort, extensive equipment, and expansive safety suite.

2025 Drive Car of the Year saw more than 200 models considered for the awards throughout 2024, with finalists subjected to a grueling test program.

The Drive judges assess each vehicle against eight key criteria; best exterior, best interior, engine performance, fuel economy, safety feature, innovation, and choice of best dream car and recreational vehicle.

Now in its 20^th year, the Drive Car of the Year awards recognise 19 winning models across categories aligned with the preferences of Australian new-car buyers.

Petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric models released or significantly updated in the 2024 calendar year, with a manufacturer’s list price below $150k, were eligible for the 2025 Drive Car of the Year awards.
