The Genesis brand, a luxury spinoff of Hyundai, is a newcomer, having come into its own in late 2016. But it’s been steadily building out its portfolio of vehicles since, and one of the latest is the GV70, its first compact luxury SUV. The GV70 faces off against many more established rivals, one of which followed a similar path to creation: the Acura RDX.
Honda, by way of Acura, was one of the pioneers of the luxury spinoff concept. The RDX SUV debuted for the 2007 model year, and the latest model benefits from a cosmetic and features refresh for 2022.
