GENESIS CANADA - A month after being voted as the Best Compact Luxury SUV, the Genesis GV70 and Electrified GV70 have now been awarded Best Overall SUV in Canada for 2024 by AutoTrader.ca. Following the announcement of a category win, the GV70 was among the overall Grand Prix winners announced at a private ceremony to present the 2024 AutoTrader.ca Awards.
The Electrified GV70 was launch in 2023 as a fully-electric version of the award-winning SUV, offering consumers more options for a luxury utility vehicle that suits their needs and exceeds their expectations.
After evaluating and considering every single new vehicle that’s available for sale in Canada, more than 20 automotive journalists from all over the country place their votes in over 30 categories. Overall, 12 key criteria are thoroughly analyzed - including design, innovation, engineering excellence, quality, and safety. Perhaps most importantly, the jury votes for vehicles they would feel confident recommending to their own family and friends.
The AutoTrader.ca Awards are considered by consumers to be among the most trusted and comprehensive automotive awards in Canada, with winners being chosen for setting a benchmark for their respective segments.
“A great deal of care and attention has gone into the development of the GV70,” says Eric Marshall, director of Genesis Motors Canada. “We are both humbled and grateful to the AutoTrader.ca team of voting jurors for recognizing our achievements and presenting us with such significant awards.”
The GV70 compact luxury SUV won its category in 2023 and was once again selected as the best in the segment for 2024. The vehicle impressed the jury once again with its winning combination of styling, composed yet dynamic driving sensibilities, luxurious interior, and intuitive integration of technology. In this increasingly competitive segment, they agreed that the compact luxury SUV continues to have what it takes to stand out ahead of the crowd. The Electrified GV70 builds upon this formula, but without a traditional internal combustion engine. Robust electric all-wheel drive propulsion provides unrelenting acceleration and balanced handling, which is wonderfully complemented by a smooth, serene driving experience that is well suited to a luxury vehicle.
