The Genesis mid-size sports utility vehicle (SUV) GV70 has surpassed cumulative sales of 300,000 units overseas. This is the first among Genesis SUV models.
According to Hyundai Motor Company on the 3rd, the GV70 sold a cumulative total of 303,803 units in the overseas market as of June this year. This is after 4 years and 6 months since its launch in December 2020.
The GV70 has achieved great success in the United States. It was first introduced in 2021, in the highly competitive premium SUV market, selling 10,740 units in its first year. Last year, 29,920 units were sold locally.
The GV70 alone has surpassed cumulative sales of 100,000 units in the U.S. market, accounting for one-third of overseas sales. The partial change model of the GV70, launched in May last year, has also received rave reviews from major automobile media outlets abroad.
U.S. News & World Report noted, "The GV70 gracefully transcends the boundaries of luxury and sport," adding that "ride comfort has improved on rough surfaces, and sharper steering is now possible, making cornering more precise than previous transfer."
U.S. News & World Report also evaluated it as "fantastic, from the panel finishes to the modern dashboard design and carbon fiber trim in the center console," stating it could make competing models in the same class feel embarrassed.
The large sports utility vehicle GV80 (including the coupe model) has also been selling over 40,000 units annually in overseas markets since its launch in January 2020, recording cumulative sales of 293,000 units as of June 2025.
The GV80 has also been increasing its market share in the U.S., achieving cumulative sales of 90,500 units.
A Hyundai Motor Company official stated, "Genesis is continuously challenging new areas, such as entering motorsports based on 'Genesis Magna' last December."
Hyundai Motor Group is set to launch a 2.5 turbo hybrid for rear-wheel drive next year, which will be sequentially equipped in major Genesis models.
