Shopping for a luxury SUV usually means sorting through a pile of confusing trim names and wondering what you’re actually paying for. At Genesis of Milwaukee in Waukesha, WI, that part of the process doesn’t have to feel like homework. The 2027 Genesis GV70 lineup covers a lot of ground, from a well-equipped entry trim to a twin-turbo V6 flagship and a fully electric option, so which one fits your driveway best?
The 2027 GV70 offers six gas trims and three Electrified GV70 trims, giving buyers a wide spread of power, price, and features.
Every gas trim uses all-wheel drive as standard, with either a 300-hp turbo four-cylinder or a 375-hp twin-turbo V6.
The Electrified GV70 pairs a dual-motor AWD setup with an 84-kWh battery for strong power and quick DC fast charging.
Higher trims add Nappa leather, larger wheels, adaptive suspension, and upgraded audio, while every GV70 shares the same core safety suite.
The new Prestige Graphite trim sits at the top of the gas lineup with exclusive dark styling and the most standard equipment on the SUV.
What Trim Levels Does the 2027 Genesis GV70 Come In?
The 2027 GV70 trim levels split into two lineups: six gas-powered trims and three Electrified GV70 trims. Gas buyers can choose from the 2.5T AWD, 2.5T Select AWD, 2.5T Advanced AWD, 2.5T Sport Prestige AWD, 3.5T Select Prestige AWD, and the new 3.5T Prestige Graphite AWD. EV shoppers get the AWD, Advanced AWD, and Prestige AWD versions of the Electrified GV70.
That’s a lot of choices, but the logic behind them is pretty simple once it’s laid out. Entry trims focus on giving drivers everything they actually need day-to-day: standard AWD, a big infotainment screen, and a strong base of safety tech. Move up the list and the extras start stacking — nicer materials, more power, sharper handling hardware, and styling touches that set a GV70 apart in a parking lot. Folks cross-shopping this SUV against a BMW X3 or an Audi Q5 tend to notice how much comes standard even at the base level, which is part of why the Genesis GV70 SUV has built such a loyal following in a short amount of time.

All nine trims come standard with all-wheel drive
What Does Each Gas-Powered GV70 Trim Offer?
Every gas GV70 trim runs standard AWD and an 8-speed automatic, with the difference coming down to power, materials, and tech. Reviewing the Genesis GV70 specs side by side makes it easy to see where the value jumps happen.
The 2.5-liter turbo four makes 300 horsepower and covers four trims, while the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 makes 375 horsepower and powers the top two. Fuel economy holds up well across the 2.5T trims, and the jump to V6 power doesn’t come with a huge economy penalty given how much muscle it adds. Here’s a trim-by-trim breakdown to help narrow things down before a test drive at Genesis of Milwaukee.

What Does the Electrified GV70 Lineup Offer?
The Electrified GV70 gives buyers everything they like about the gas SUV, minus the trips to the pump. All three EV trims share a 429-horsepower dual-motor AWD powertrain and an 84-kWh battery, so the differences come down to comfort, tech, and wheel size rather than power.
Because every version uses the same motor and battery combo, choosing between them is more about lifestyle than performance. The base AWD trim already includes a surround-view camera, blind-spot monitoring, and DC fast-charging capability that takes the battery from 10% to 80% in about 19 minutes. Buyers who spend a lot of time behind the wheel tend to appreciate the extra comfort tech that shows up on the higher two trims. Reviewing the full GV70 trims list side by side, gas or electric, makes it clear Genesis built this SUV to fit a wide range of driving habits.
