The first Genesis GV70 debuted with little fanfare but all the looks, charm, and charisma of the GV80, but smaller. It joins the rapidly expanding Genesis lineup alongside the G70, G80, and G90 sedans and below the the GV80. Like all other Genesis models, it will be based on a rear-wheel drive platform.

"Genesis continues to build on our solid foundation with the addition of new and exciting products to our lineup," said Mark Del Rosso, President and Chief Executive Officer of Genesis Motor North America. "We recently launched our first-ever SUV, the flagship GV80, with U.S. deliveries beginning in the next thirty days. Now, with the upcoming release of the dynamic GV70 and a further diversified product portfolio, Genesis will be able to reach an even broader audience of American consumers."

Genesis says that the GV70 gets its name from the following formula: the "G" stands for Genesis and "V" stands for versatility.

Like the sedans and SUV already in the Genesis lineup, the GV70 features the company's crest grille at the front. The grille takes it shape from the Genesis logo. One this model, it's set lower than on the GV80, and below the Quad Lamp headlights to give the GV70 the look of a sporty crossover.

Muscular rear fenders and a coupe-like roofline give the GV70 an athletic appearance. There's a chrome line to the C-pillar to accentuate the sportiness and exude a sense of elegance.

Quad Lamp taillights are set into the bumper, which also features a G-Matrix pattern applied to it. The Muffler is vertical-shaped and the SUV features a body-colored diffuser.

The Genesis G70 Sport variant takes the looks of the model even further. This SUV has an exclusive front bumper, 21-inch G-Matrix pattern-applied wheels, dark chrome garnishes, and a large diameter exhaust. The Sport model's interior features exclusive colors and trim, including a sport steering wheel and carbon-fiber appointed consoles and doors.

"The audaciously designed new GV70 breaks new ground for Genesis through purity of design execution. This follows the Genesis G80 and GV80 which demonstrated the perfect balance of our design identity 'Athletic Elegance,'" said SangYup Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Genesis Design."

He added "The new GV70 inherits the Genesis design DNA including signature elements, such as the Wing Face and Two Lines. Along with the G70, the athletic 70-series line-up expands our design territory. As a luxury brand based in Korea, we are excited to offer the 'Beauty of White Space', Genesis' contemporary spatial experience exclusively to our customers."

The first GV70 is expected to arrive in the United States in calendar year 2021. The GV80 starts at $48,900. Expect the GV70 to have a MSRP far below that starting price.

Refreshed 2021 Jaguar E-Pace offers more luxurious, tech-heavy accommodations

The 2021 Jaguar E-Pace is much improved for the new model year.

The Jaguar E-Pace is getting the same treatment for 2021 that the automaker gave its big brother, the F-Pace. There's refreshed fascia, a fresh interior, and a bevy of new engine options that make the E-Pace seem almost completely new.

Jaguar will sell the 2021 E-Pace in three grades: P250, P250 SE, 300 Sport. All models come standard with all-wheel drive.

On its outside, the E-Pace gets a revised lower aperture, fresh grille mesh design with diamond detailing with Jaguar's heritage logo in the center wearing a Noble Chrome finish, and side fender vents with the brand's Leaper emblem. All-LED headlights feature Jaguar's 'Double J' signature and feature adaptive lighting technology. E-Pace S models get advanced LED technology while SE and HSE grades receive premium LED headlights with automatic high beam assist. All models get rear animated directional indicators. E-Pace SE and HSE get front ones as well.

Out back, the lower rear bumper fascia has a new mesh insert that sits between integrated tailpipes (standard with four-cylinder petrol engines). Slim horizontal bald finishers are standard on models with other engines. Full-LED taillights feature Jaguar's chicane graphic.

E-Pace models with R-Dynamic specification feature distinct black design elements. All models are available with Jaguar's Black Exterior Pack, which includes additional elements finished in Gloss Black.

The 2021 E-Pace is sold in two powertrain variants in the U.S. Both are turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinders paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. E-Pace P250 and P250 SE models have 246 horsepower while the E-Pace 300 Sport ups the output to 296 horsepower.

Jaguar has revised the E-Pace's architecture for 2021 lessening the amount of noise, vibration, and harshness transferred to riders while retaining an expected level of agility and improving throttle response.

All E-Pace models have JaguarDrive Control featuring Comfort, Eco, Dynamic, and Adaptive Surface Response drive modes, which can be chosen manually by the driver based on the road conditions. The setting is selected through a toggle switch next to the JaguarDrive Selector and adapts the steering, transmission, and throttle.

Jaguar has curated the interior of the E-Pace to be more luxurious. It features an 11.4-inch high-definition infotainment touch screen that sits at the center of the dashboard. The screen features two coatings - one that reduces glare and one that resists fingerprints.

In front of the driver is an available 12.3-inch interactive driver display with configurable layout. Buyers can also opt for an interior rearview camera mirror and adaptive cruise control.

The company has added a drive selector in place of a traditional shifter and made space for an available wireless smartphone charger. E-Pace's steering wheel features hidden-until-lit switches and metal gearshift paddles.

Designers have taken care to outfit the E-Pace with high-end materials including metallic dials, speaker accents, and vent finishes. An embossed Jaguar Leaper lives on the headrests while 'Est.1935 Jaguar Coventry' upholstery tags reference the history and heritage of the brand. A unique Jaguar animal print pattern fills the central cubby area and in front of the drive selector.

The 300 Sport also has 20-inch five-spoke Diamond-turned with Satin Dark Grey accent wheels, Black Exterior Pack, illuminated metal Jaguar treadplates, Ebony Suede cloth headliner, and grained leather sport seats (available in Ebony, Cloud and Deep Garnet).

The 2021 E-Pace starts at $40,995 for the P250 while the E-Pace P250 SE has a starting MSRP of $46,095. The top-tier E-Pace 300 Sport is priced at $49,995.

Every new E-Pace comes with a five-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, a term of five-years/60,000-mile of complimentary scheduled maintenance, five years/60,000-mile 24/7 roadside assistance, and five-years of Jaguar InControl Remote & Protect connected services.
