The refreshed 2025 Genesis GV70 mid-size premium SUV has officially landed in Australia, bringing with it updated in-car technology, revised trim levels, and sadly, a notable price hike across the board. Prices now range from $78,500 to $100,000 before on-road costs, reflecting increases of between $5,600 and $15,986 depending on the variant.
One of the most significant changes is the removal of the entry-level rear-wheel-drive GV70 2.5, which was previously priced from $70,500. In its place, Genesis has streamlined the lineup to three all-wheel-drive-only variants: Advanced, Signature, and Signature Sport. These trims are offered with a choice of two engines and paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard.
