MotorTrend praised the GV70's iconic design, excellent performance, and the value.

It also said that the cabin shows the uniqueness that only a luxury brand could create.

MotorTrend's chief editor Edward Loh said, "We are glad to select the GV70 as the Best SUV of the Year," and that, "The GV70 is a satisfactory model in all aspects, including its advanced design, practical performance, comfortable driving experience and impressive packaging."

"The GV70's own kind of luxury with its unconventional and fresh body design is very impressive," Motor Trend editor Miguel Cortina said. "Genesis isn't trying to copy Europe or America or Japan, but showing its own thing." (ANI/Global Economic)
