Feature Showdown
The Genesis GV60 features a 12.3-inch touchscreen paired with a 12.3-inch digital dash, while the Mazda CX-70 gets a 12.3-inch display and 12.3-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Genesis GV60 stands out with ventilated seats, V2L and Bang & Olufsen audio — features our data doesn't list for the Mazda CX-70. The Mazda CX-70 counters with Bose audio. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Interior trim differs: the Genesis GV60 gets nappa leather upholstery while the Mazda CX-70 offers leather.
Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Genesis GV60 uses a Electric Motor producing 168kW and 350Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a RWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.8 seconds.
The Mazda CX-70 responds with a Petrol making 254kW and 500Nm, paired to a automatic driving all four wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 6.8 seconds.
The Mazda CX-70 has the clear power advantage at 254kW vs 168kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Mazda CX-70 is 1.0s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Genesis GV60 measures 4,515mm long on a 2,900mm wheelbase, 605mm shorter than the Mazda CX-70 at 5,120mm (3,120mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Mazda CX-70 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 432L in the Genesis GV60 and 598L in the Mazda CX-70, giving the Mazda CX-70 a 166L advantage.
For towing, the Mazda CX-70 leads with a 2,500kg braked capacity vs 1,600kg. That 900kg 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 Mazda CX-70's turning circle is 0.1 m tighter, 11.8 m against 11.9 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, electricity for the Genesis GV60 costs about $864 a year (18 kWh/100km) and fuel for the Mazda CX-70 about $2,309 a year (8.1 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Genesis GV60) and 5 years / Unlimited (Mazda CX-70). Capped-price servicing: 5 years (Genesis GV60), no data (Mazda CX-70).
Where each one leads
The Genesis GV60: nothing in the figures we hold puts it ahead of the Mazda CX-70.
The Mazda CX-70: the lower starting price ($73,020 against $88,300), more power (254kW against 168kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (598L against 432L) and the higher braked towing limit (2,500kg against 1,600kg).
The Verdict
Genesis GV60 scores higher, 73 vs 72
The Genesis GV60 scores 73 to the Mazda CX-70's 72 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 1 of the 6 spec rows that separate them. The biggest gaps: safety (Genesis GV60 ahead by 21 points), performance (Mazda CX-70 ahead by 16 points), practicality (Mazda CX-70 ahead by 15 points). Boot space with the seats up: 432L in the Genesis GV60, 598L in the Mazda CX-70.

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. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy.
