It has similar silhouette to the Maserati Levante from the side, which I absolutely despise and I think its one of the ugliest designs in Automotive history... This looks a tad bit better proportioned and the interior is stunning and simplistic, nice job Kia

This looks nice, was a bit apprehensive since I am no fan of the GV80's styling.

I like it! I think the interior is gorgeous. Only thing I don't really like is the steering wheel design. Looks a bit retro but still functional i'll give it that.

I like it too. For her next vehicle, my wife is leaning toward a sport suv. Think the GV70 will at least get a test drive.

I can dig it. Hyundai did a nice job on this. Not my bag, but it will be great for those where something from this segment works for them.

Has a bit of an AMC Pacer (I.e. Garth's car from Wayne's World lol) vibe, but definitely is different and quite nice.

Very interesting design, especially that C-pillar which is very 928-esque. Overall looks pretty good, hopefully it drives like its G70 sedan counterpart.

The interior is tough for me I can't stand it ... I don't understand how others like it?! The steering wheel is the ugliest I have seen in a while

I don't like the steering wheel either. It reminds me of the S Class 2 spoke crescent style wheel.

Looks nice inside and out, but not my cuppa.
Quarterpanel is too busy. C-pillar motif is stolen from the Lexus RX. Interior is dainty. Some people like dainty. These will sell. |

I think the Mazda CX5 and CX9 are top of the class in design; sharp and soft at the same time. This is mundane at best.

M-B G/GLE/GLS are solid off roaders. Not often talked about, especially GLE/GLS. It, however, is the case.

I think the GV70 looks great. Nice to see something different that isn't also horrid. Good job.
