Genesis GV70 was named the Best Mid-Size Premium Utility Vehicle in Canada for 2022 by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). This marks the fourth award for Genesis in AJAC's 2022 annual awards program, following two Innovation Awards (Radar Based Occupant Alert and In-Vehicle Fingerprint Reader) and G70 earning the AJAC award for Best Small Premium Car in Canada. 

The voting members of AJAC praised the 2022 Genesis GV70 for its interior design, occupant environment, build quality, and overall value.

"We are pleased that the first-ever Genesis GV70 SUV has won in its highly-competitive category," says Steve Flamand, director of product and corporate strategy at Genesis Motors Canada.

With bold designs, advanced safety, and the latest technologies, GV70 exemplifies Genesis' drive to lead in luxury mobility."
