Tested: 2022 BMW X3 M40i vs. GenesisUSA GV70 3.5T Sport vs. Lexus RX350 F Sport:
The GV70's Sport Prestige package adds leather with grippy suede inserts that, along with those sassy red seatbelts, help hold you in place.
Despite its all-season rubber, the sportiest GV70 is no slouch when asked to hustle. Our test car dashed to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and gave up less than we expected to the summer-tire-wearing BMW on the skidpad and in our 70-to-zero braking test. The GV70's twin-turbo V-6 is down seven horses to BMW's inline-six and emits a more gravelly tone from its bazooka tailpipes.
Its steering is precise without feeling darty, and its taut roll resistance is accompanied by impressive compliance over shoddy pavement, even on the optional 21-inch wheels . Helped by adaptive dampers and the Sport Prestige package's electronically controlled rear differential, the GV70 hangs with the M40i on twisty two-lanes while remaining more composed than the BMW.
The GV70 artfully combines the RX's coddling, softer side with a satisfying serving of the joyful sportiness and driving dynamics found in the X3 M40i. As a brand-building exercise, the GV70 is proof of concept that fusing design, materials, vehicle dynamics, luxury, and refinement is the way to make a mark in a crowded segment. The GV70 puts an exclamation point on Genesis's ability to compete in the heart of the luxury market.
