How Much Power Is Behind Each Genesis SUV?

Genesis SUVs are renowned for their breathtaking design, opulent interiors, and state-of-the-art technology. Beyond their luxurious appeal, these vehicles are engineered to deliver exceptional towing performance and seamlessly blend sophistication with capability. Whether you need to transport a small trailer for a weekend retreat or haul a larger load, Genesis SUVs offer unparalleled refinement and strength. 

With that in mind, let’s explore the towing prowess of the Genesis lineup, including the GV60, GV70, GV80, and GV80 Coupe.

The Genesis GV60 is a revolutionary all-electric SUV that redefines sustainable luxury. 

The GV60 has a towing capacity of up to 2,000 lbs with trailer brakes or 1,650 lbs without trailer brakes, making it ideal for lighter endeavours, such as towing a compact camper, a pair of jet skis, or a small utility trailer (subject to weight limits). This electrified masterpiece ensures you can enjoy eco-friendly travel without compromising on versatility or style.

The Genesis GV70 is a perfect fusion of athleticism and elegance, crafted for drivers with active lifestyles. With the ability to tow up to 3,500 lbs with trailer brakes, the gasoline GV70 provides ample power to transport many smaller trailers or pop-up campers, as well as a wide range of recreational vehicles (subject to weight limits).

Whether embarking on a serene countryside escape or a thrilling outdoor adventure, the GV70 combines robust capability with Genesis’ hallmark sophistication.

With an impressive towing capacity of up to 6,000 lbs, the GV80 is designed to handle substantial loads, such as mid-sized boats, car trailers, or fully equipped travel trailers (subject to weight limits). This SUV’s highly capable towing capacity and comfortable cabin design make it the perfect companion for any adventure.

Those who desire both powerful performance and a unique design need look no further than the Genesis GV80 Coupe, which offers the same commanding 6,000 lbs towing capacity as the larger GV80. 

Ideal for towing larger trailers or luxury speedboats (subject to weight limits), the GV80 Coupe blends striking aesthetics with practical capability, allowing you to make a bold impression wherever the road takes you.

Best Practices for Towing with a Genesis SUV

For safety purposes, it is important to adhere to the following best practices when using your Genesis SUV to tow:

  • Respect the Limits: Always adhere to the maximum towing capacity of your vehicle and equipment.
  • Optimize Load Balance: Distribute your trailer’s weight evenly to maintain stability and ensure a smooth towing experience. An unbalanced trailer can be unsafe to drive, even if it does not meet the towing capacity of your vehicle or equipment.
  • Invest in Quality Equipment: Equip your SUV with premium hitches and trailer brake systems for enhanced safety and control.
  • Maintain Your SUV: Regularly inspect your Genesis vehicle’s tires, brakes, and towing equipment to uphold its performance and safety standards. Every new Genesis qualifies for 5 years of complimentary scheduled maintenance from its purchase date, which dramatically helps to maintain its condition. However, you should still inspect your Genesis and towing equipment before each tow.
  • Drive Carefully: It can be more difficult to drive when using your SUV to tow, which presents a safety risk. While Genesis SUVs are remarkably safe (the 2025 GV60, GV70, and GV80 each earned a coveted Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety), it is still important to pay close attention to your surroundings and drive more slowly than usual when towing a load.
