Compare Size and Cargo Space

Cargo capacity varies by configuration: it starts at 11.6 cubic feet behind the third row, increases to 36.5 to 38.7 cubic feet behind the second row, and reaches 71.1 to71.7 cubic feet when both rear rows are folded down. For families or anyone traveling frequently with passengers and gear, the GV80 and its versatility a key benefit.
Both offer plenty to like, but the GV70 is a sporty, compact SUV, with good cargo space, but the GV80 and its three rows of seating offer more space for cargo and passengers.
Compare Performance
With the GV70, you'll find it is equipped with either a 300‑horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged four‑cylinder or a 375‑horsepower 3.5-liter twin‑turbo V6 engine, both paired with an 8=eight‑speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This configuration provides the compact SUV with lively acceleration and a sporty feel, particularly in the 3.5T version, which delivers more energetic performance. For towing, its maximum towing capacity is 3,500 pounds across all trims.
The GV80 offers a similar engine lineup: a 300‑horsepower 2.5-liter turbo four‑cylinder and a 375‑horsepower 3.5-liter twin‑turbo V6. Due to its larger size and chassis tuning, it provides a smooth, composed ride focused on refinement. Additionally, it has double the towing capacity, with a maximum rating of 6,000 pounds, making it better suited for trailering and long-distance comfort.
Both engines have power for their segment, so you'll know you'll have enough, so the decision comes down to whether you need a powerful engine for sporty driving with the GV70, or comfort and ride quality with the GV80.
