2021–2026 Genesis GV70 2.2D Specs & Performance

The GV70 2.2D brought a distinctly different character to Genesis’s compact luxury SUV, using diesel torque to complement its sleek design and comfort-focused interior. Rather than making electrification or outright performance the centerpiece, this version leaned into effortless cruising and strong low-speed response. The result was a premium SUV with a more understated mechanical personality, while the sculpted body and carefully detailed cabin kept it firmly within Genesis’s design-led approach.

For 2021–2026, the GV70 2.2D used a turbocharged 2.2-liter inline-four producing 207 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive completed the powertrain, giving the SUV strong pulling power while maintaining smooth everyday manners. The diesel setup makes this version particularly suited to drivers who appreciate relaxed performance and long-distance usability without stepping up to a larger engine.
