Printed option prices only. A pack is counted once and makes the figure a floor when it carries no printed price. Nothing is inferred from the other car.
A plug-in hybrid is compared on its fuel use as a hybrid (battery depleted), the figure that is like for like with the other car; its certified combined figure, which assumes every trip starts with a full battery, is printed under it. Electric range is how far it goes before the petrol engine is needed.

Feature Showdown
The Denza B8 features a 17.3-inch touchscreen paired with a 12.3-inch digital dash, while the Genesis GV70 gets a 14.5-inch display and 12.3-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Denza B8 stands out with V2L and Devialet audio — features our data doesn't list for the Genesis GV70. The Genesis GV70 counters with head-up display, panoramic roof, power tailgate and Genesis Audio audio. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Denza B8 uses a Petrol Turbo PHEV producing 425kW and 760Nm of torque, sent through a 1-speed auto to a AWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 4.8 seconds.
The Genesis GV70 responds with a Petrol making 224kW and 422Nm, paired to a automatic driving all four wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 7.2 seconds.
The Denza B8 has the clear power advantage at 425kW vs 224kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Denza B8 is 2.4s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Denza B8 measures 5,195mm long on a 2,920mm wheelbase, 480mm longer than the Genesis GV70 at 4,715mm (2,875mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Denza B8 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 147L in the Denza B8 and 542L in the Genesis GV70, giving the Genesis GV70 a 395L advantage. The Denza B8 seats 7 vs 5.
For towing, the Denza B8 leads with a 3,500kg braked capacity vs 2,200kg. That 1,300kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Genesis GV70's turning circle is 0.5 m tighter, 11.5 m against 12.0 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Denza B8 costs about $2,822 a year (9.9 L/100km as a hybrid) and fuel for the Genesis GV70 about $2,936 a year (10.3 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh. That is $114 a year less for the Denza B8. A plug-in hybrid is costed running as a hybrid (battery depleted); charged daily, it uses less fuel and some electricity.
Warranty: 6 years / 150k km (Denza B8) and 5 years / Unlimited (Genesis GV70). Capped-price servicing: no data (Denza B8), 5 years (Genesis GV70).
Where each one leads
The Denza B8: more power (425kW against 224kW), the longer warranty (6 years against 5), the higher braked towing limit (3,500kg against 2,200kg) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($2,822 a year against $2,936).
The Genesis GV70: the lower starting price ($80,300 against $91,000) and the bigger boot with the seats up (542L against 147L).
The Verdict
Genesis GV70 scores higher, 70 vs 69
The Genesis GV70 scores 70 to the Denza B8's 69 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 2 of the 8 spec rows that separate them, at the lower price. The biggest gaps: performance (Denza B8 ahead by 22 points), reliability (Genesis GV70 ahead by 12 points), safety (Genesis GV70 ahead by 8 points). At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Denza B8 costs about $114 less (9.9 L/100km as a hybrid against 10.3 L/100km, at $1.90 a litre). Boot space with the seats up: 147L in the Denza B8, 542L in the Genesis GV70. Warranty: 6 years on the Denza B8, 5 on the Genesis GV70.

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away.
