Genesis GV70 vs Lexus NX: Comparison Test (Best Luxury SUV Battle)

The NX is better as a PHEV than a gas guzzling 3.5L V6 any day. The PHEV has more horsepower, better acceleration, quieter, smoother, uses no gas, and no emissions. It’s not even close.

I own the 2023 Genesis GV70, Advanced pkg. Capri blue w/ Havana Brown interior and absolutely love it! It is definitely a luxury ride down the road. I tried out the German SUVs (high maintenance costs) and the Lexus (lacks power, lackluster infotainment system), Acura (thumbs down to their upgraded infotainment, a lot of road noise in cabin) Lincoln (need to pay a lot more to get some similar features). Genesis GV70 wins, hands down. Quiet interior, it just floats down the road and gives you a comfortable and quiet ride.❤ the infotainment system, 360 cameras and extra features are very nice and easy to use. The upgraded Lexicon system is amazing! The 2.5 duel turbo engine has plenty of power and acceleration is quick and smooth. And 10 year warranty! Only downside is the around town driving is around 18-19 MPG. For me anyways.

Lexus has been known for reliability with an excellent high tech back in 80's til early 20's when others had less fortunate auto technology except for M,B,A. But now with fast development of automotive technology, most auto makers are just about neck to neck when it comes to reliability especially how Hyundai made the break through in to the high end luxury brand. It's all about qualities, appearance, handling, functionalities, performance, durability and personalities, and Genesis has it all with a top notch rating by well known auto critics and consumer reports. I really admire and give two thumps up to Korean auto makers how they are influencing and changing the auto industries today in just 50 short years of history. Incredible and unreal!!!

That is the top of the line. The 2.5T trims have some 2-spoke steering wheels but the Prestige is 3-spoke. Rims are a matter of opinion - but the 19" wheels ride WAY better than the 21" 3.5T wheels.

[@ActaeonLF]

The GV70 is very good for a gas only SUV but I choose the NX450h+ PHEV variant over any model of GV70 or NX. The NX450h+ has close to 40 miles of electric range which means most of your driving is in EV mode with no fuel consumption, no emissions, silent engine, and higher performance. The gasoline engine allows you to go on long drives without depending on public charging. It is one of the best vehicles in the luxury crossover segment. Only Audi and Volvo makes a competing plug in hybrid but they have only half the EV range.

Well, a confession. After decades of car ownership, I finally did the one thing I thought I would never do….I bought a new car on impulse. The reliability of Toyota took me to the Lexus dealer last month and voila, a beautiful gray NX F Sport was sitting there. I really would have preferred to get a Genesis and really should have kept my Audi Q5 for another year or two…but I did not. What I do like is the technology; it does handle pretty well and the sport seats are pretty good. What I dislike is how the engine and transmission are not really meshed well. It should be a much faster car. It is not and it has a loud engine. It sounds like it should be quick, but nope. I also do not like the run flat tires as they add to road noise. The front wheel bias makes the steering heavy and there is a wobble in the wheel with aggressive driving. One more thing: if you plan to tow a trailer do NOT get the F Sport. The car has been out for one year and Lexus nor any third party makes a hitch for it. You will have find out if your bungee cords will work. To me this was a bait and switch since the Monroney says you can tow…except you can’t

[@AndyHaque]

Wait... you drove the F-Sport variant of the NX and complained about the seats, ride and road noise? You know that F-Sport is the sporty version with sporty seats, harsher ride, and noisier engine, right?

What harsher ride? Car at this level should have adaptive suspension setup when it has a sport badge which should be more comfortable than non sport trim. For example, my M suspension on my BMW Z4 is more bouncy than non sport variant when I wanted it to be, and stiffer when i wanted it to be!

Disappointed in the look of the Lexus interior. The GV70 has a very luxurious interior. The only thing that doesn't quite work is the pop-up look to the infotainment screen. At this point, just integrate the two screens, driver display and console infotainment to give it a cohesive, flowing look. Otherwise, it's so luxurious and special looking. The Lexus looks, sorry, like a better Toyota and the display is too glossy and plasticy looking. The Lexus is probably better built and will be more reliable over the years but the GV70 looks like the much nicer car. That the GV70 is quieter and more comfortable adds to its appeal.

I kind of like the fact that the screen is on top of the dash, and is in landscape position, like widescreen... I don like how screens are positioned like a tablet, thats long top to bottom... They will start being like the new Audis, and Mercedes where the entire dash is just screens.

I've been looking at both of them and they are extremely close on that basis as well. Both are fine for leg room - not quite as roomy as the Lexus RX but good enough. The advantage the Genesis has with the 2.5T Prestige or 3.5T Sport package is that it has rear climate control knobs and a full-size 3-prong electrical plug - so with the right trim, the Genesis has a big advantage there too.

I still find the Lexus feels older and "safer". I ordered a Genesis. The Lexus screen is 14" INCLUDING the climate controls. The GV70 is 14.5" with a separate climate control screen.

IF YOU CAN FIND ONE ANYWHERE do grab it!......"econ 101".....Has (3) elec. motors gett'n 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec (road and track) HIGH torque QUICK out of Hole!......Never do I use gas..... gett'n 42 miles per 120 Volt charge and NEVER USE GAS....and almost Silent operation in elec....So do your research......as this is Far better than any European beemer or mercedes that are depreciating the moment you drive off the lot BIG TIME! And are un- reliable offering to say nothing of the GAS HOG unproven G 70, & RDX not worth mentioning. Z Best of the BEST F Sport 450h+ !

My issue is that Lexus shares so much with Toyota products, where as Genesis shares little to none with Kia and Hyundai

You sure about that? I swear if you compared GV70 vs Santa fe. You'll see almost the same thing.

Lexus design is take it or leave it. I think most people that drive the NX care about the interior more than the exterior. Because they’ll spend most of their time inside. The exterior is for shock factor. Genesis design is very European inspired. They care about the exterior as much as the interior. The GV70 is giving Scandinavian design in the interior, while the exterior has hints of German, French, and Italian. Their design is Volvo if their designers went to Italy taking inspiration from Maserati.

[@jonhettrick7969]

We'll just have to see how reliable these new Toyota and Lexus engines are versus the V6 they had. That was very reliable. The V6 in a Lexus

Why genesis put the screen so far from the driver

[@jcguy6608]

When I found out that Lexus has run flats on the NX It fell off my shopping list plus it requires a subscription after 3 years for the nav.

[@dalehuhtala9285]

Agreed - the Genesis has a real spare and 5 years of NAV updates - and ALL maintenance included with pick-up service from your home (at least in Canada)!

[@dalehuhtala9285]

Doing another round of test drives and I was surprised how much I disliked the Lexus NX 350 luxury edition. Ride quality and noise were very bad in the Lexus. I think the Telluride might have even been better in that category. There was a lot of plastic and piano black plastic in the Lexus. And it took me many, many tries to open the door properly, put the car in drive and then later in park...it's actually pretty dangerous.

[@PeopleMantra]

lexus it is for me.

The GV70 is the better driver, but the NX is going to be the more reliable choice.

[@andresmattos7541]

The Lexus interior looks dated and reminds me too much of Cheap Toyotas.

[@drivescene6747]

That’s because it’s a cheap Toyota masquerading as a more expensive vehicle

For me, the Genesis fitts more to the American market - the Lexus to the Europen market. Thing about Service-Center, how much are existing in your area?

[@dalehuhtala9285]

I actually bought my car from the mall near my house - that's the only dealership they have (Edmonton, Canada) here! ;) Service is done by picking up your car and leaving you with a loaner (if they have one available) and they take it to a Hyundai service centre. They are building a new dealership right now that will house both Hyundai and Genesis but with separate showrooms, staff and services. So...they're coming along. What I appreciate most is that your purchases/service come from Genesis Canada here, not a dealership. That's a great thing! Dealerships invent maintenance packages that are completely unnecessary to make money - the manufacturer makes sure Genesis dealers follow their guidelines, not money-making Dealership, shady ones!

Yes it does. I just got mine. The $50k one called Advanced model. It has tons of hidden features too! That no one is mentioning in reviews because they don’t know!

Sorry no heads up display. But heated steering(all over the steering). Ventilated seats. Smart remote parking. Complimentary Genesis connected services which is amazing! 360 degrees cameras. Front camera. Front parking sensors. Much much more.

@@sahmadi6659 thank you, the reason why I asked is because the $50k NX350 does.

@@sahmadi6659 It depends on where you buy it. In Canada, there IS a HUD. Not sure why, but that was a major decision point for me too. I haven't bought a Lexus before now because you had to go to the Executive for F-Sport Series 3 trims just to get a HUD - another $10-15K for that!

Thank you for this great review. Also, you guys declared Genesis Winner, and you guys doesn't included the Warranty. Including the warranty and service, Genesis could bully the Lexus.

I would go for the Lexus. Genesis turns heads could be related to the brand is not as well known. Not a fan of the steering wheel and it's a deal breaker for me. Both SUVs have different persona targets. The Genesis is for the folks who like more classy interiors and the NX is more for the younger sporty look. Performance wise the Genesis is better, but I'm not sure if people buy these for racing. Both vehicles are good for everyday driver. If you want speed, there are other options out there. Can't go wrong with either one, but Lexus is my pick.
