At Genesis of Conway, we’re proud to share some exciting news: Genesis earned seven spots on the 2025 Car and Driver Editors’ Choice Awards list. These awards show just how far Genesis has come as a luxury car brand. Known for smart technology, bold design, and smooth performance, Genesis is proving it’s a serious competitor in the luxury world.
Car and Driver’s Editors’ Choice Awards highlight the best vehicles in every category—from SUVs to sports sedans. Their team tests vehicles for things like performance, comfort, value, and tech features. With seven Genesis models making the list, it’s clear that this brand is gaining strong praise from both experts and drivers.
Let’s take a closer look at the models that earned these top honors and what makes them so special.
Genesis GV70 and Electrified GV70: Luxury With an Edge
Two of the most talked-about winners are the GV70 and the Electrified GV70. These compact luxury SUVs bring together style, comfort, and high-end features. Whether you choose the gas-powered or all-electric version, you’re getting an SUV that’s built to impress.
Genesis GV70
The GV70 is a powerful and stylish SUV that looks great on the road and feels even better to drive. It comes with two engine options—a 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter engine or a stronger 375-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Both engines offer a fun, sporty driving experience.
Inside, the GV70 is just as exciting. You’ll find high-quality materials like leather and wood, a large touchscreen, and safety features to keep you confident behind the wheel. With its sharp looks and smooth ride, the GV70 is a great mix of luxury and performance.
Electrified GV70
Love the GV70 but want something more eco-friendly? The Electrified GV70 is your answer. It keeps all the great features of the original GV70 but swaps the gas engine for an all-electric setup. That means no tailpipe emissions and quieter driving—without giving up power or style.
Genesis designed this SUV to offer a premium experience while still being kind to the environment. With fast-charging capabilities and advanced tech, the Electrified GV70 is a strong step into the future of driving.
Other Genesis Models That Earned High Praise
Along with the GV70s, several other Genesis vehicles earned Editors’ Choice awards, including the Genesis G70, G80, G90, GV80, and Electrified G80. Each one stands out for different reasons, from sporty driving to ultra-luxurious comfort.
- The G70 is a compact sport sedan known for its sharp handling and five different drive modes.
- The G80 and Electrified G80 bring elegant style and advanced safety features to the midsize luxury sedan class.
- The G90 is a full-size luxury car that makes for the perfect ride.
- The GV80 is a larger SUV with a bold look and tons of space and comfort for families.
What Sets Genesis Apart
Genesis vehicles combine three major things: luxury, technology, and performance. That’s what makes them stand out in the crowded luxury market.
Inside every Genesis, you’ll find:
- High-end materials like soft leather and wood trim
- User-friendly technology like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Advanced safety systems like Blind Spot View Monitor and Smart Cruise Control
Genesis even offers unique features like Digital Key, which lets you use your phone as a key, and Genesis Pay, a built-in payment system for gas and parking.
Performance That Delivers
Genesis cars are built to perform. Whether you’re driving through the city or taking a long road trip, you’ll notice the smooth ride and strong acceleration.
The GV70, for example, handles sharp corners with ease and offers optional all-wheel drive for better control in all weather. The G70 and GV60 give you quick acceleration, and the electric models offer a quieter, more eco-friendly drive.
And with new features like Terrain Mode, available on select SUVs, Genesis is ready to take on all types of roads.
Looking Ahead: A Brand on the Rise
Genesis is also earning attention for how it treats its customers. For example, the brand has promised not to raise prices on new vehicles through June 2025. This helps give customers peace of mind during uncertain times.
With new electric models on the way and updates across the lineup, Genesis is proving that luxury doesn’t have to come with a massive price tag—or a complicated buying experience.
