What it is

The 2024 Genesis GV70 AWD is a small SUV with all-wheel drive. It uses gasoline, a 3.5-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and an automatic S8 transmission. See other Genesis cars.

Its main EPA number is 20 MPG combined. That is the single figure to use when estimating mixed city and highway driving.

The numbers

EPA ratings are 18 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway. The six-MPG gap shows how much driving conditions can change fuel use.

The GV70 AWD is rated at 441 grams of tailpipe CO2 per mile.

What it costs to run

EPA lists annual fuel cost at $4,100. That figure pairs with the 20-MPG combined rating and gives a yearly fuel-cost reference for this SUV.

How it compares

Within its own EPA ratings, highway driving is more efficient than city driving: 24 MPG versus 18 MPG. The 20-MPG combined figure sits between those two results.

The GV70 AWD is classified as a Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, so its figures are most useful beside other vehicles in that class with similar EPA ratings.

Who it suits

This SUV suits a driver who wants all-wheel drive and accepts gasoline running costs measured by a 20-MPG combined rating.

Its 24-MPG highway figure fits drivers whose miles are mainly on open roads, while the 18-MPG city figure matters more for stop-and-go travel.

Trade-offs

All-wheel drive comes with a 20-MPG combined rating and an EPA annual fuel cost of $4,100. City use is rated at 18 MPG, lower than its 24-MPG highway result.

Safety ratings vary by test: five stars overall and for side crash performance, four stars for frontal crash and rollover tests. NHTSA lists two recalls and 18 complaints.

Verdict

Choose the 2024 Genesis GV70 AWD if all-wheel drive and a turbocharged six-cylinder SUV matter more to you than minimizing gasoline use. Its 20-MPG combined rating is the practical middle ground, with city mileage falling to 18 MPG and highway mileage reaching 24 MPG. Budget around $4,100 in annual fuel cost under the EPA figure. The safety results include a five-star overall rating, but the frontal and rollover scores are four stars, and NHTSA records two recalls and 18 complaints.
