Design and Features

As mentioned above, please watch the video linked below for a full in-depth exploration of the exterior design and differences. The GV70 was already a very elegant option within the segment, and there’s an elevation to that for this year. This model adopts many of the styling elements debuted on the 2025 GV80, which beings a more mature grille, and upgraded headlights and facias.
