Genesis GV70 spied in the ring

After yesterday we saw the first images of the interior of the second Genesis SUV, the GV70, today we have a new photoset of the SUV, thanks to the guys at the carpix, Testing at the Nurburgring with the loss of camouflage allows us to learn more about the rear design.What do we know so far? The image was shared during the announcement of the New Year by the vice president of Hyundai Motors Group. He said: «Genesis will accelerate overseas expansion into China and Europe and aggressively expand its model range, including the first SUV model launched this year to strengthen global brand influence.» So now if you look at the image below, This is a comparison between the Tucson test mule that concerns us today and the original Santa Fe-based GV80 test mule, you'll find some similarities in the front wheel arch. Even though the wheels look the same, there is a stripe on the wheel arch that indicates that we are in front of a car with a longer bonnet, which is necessary to include larger engines such as the 3.3 TT that is available on the G70 sedan. Also, this test mule looks longer and wider than the body underneath.

Going back to the pattern unveiled at the HMG event, the shape of the bonnet, roof and side mirrors as well as the body size vary across the three SUVs. The bonnet of the model on the left end emphasises fluidity, while the model on the right end has a distinct curve and string. This can be interpreted as a result of Genesis« design philosophy of »Sporty Elegance.« »If the G80 has a 50:50 ratio of elegance and dynamics, the G70 has 70% of dynamics and 30% of elegance," said Lee Sang-Yop. who is in charge of Genesis styling. As Genesis plans to introduce the GV80 this year and then the GV70, another model on the left side cannot be ruled out as Genesis' flagship SUV, the so-called GV90.
