Genesis GV70s licensed in Great Britain at the end of each year
There were not enough MOT tests of Genesis GV70s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

How we use engine sizes.
Genesis GV70 fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Genesis GV70 from 2021, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2021 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 27.9 to 39.2 mpg, with CO2 of 186 to 230 g/km.
Official WLTP figures by engine and fuel, listed 2021 to 2026
Official WLTP figures by engine and fuel, listed 2021 to 2026
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model name “GV70”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Genesis GV70 safety recalls
DVSA lists 3 safety recalls for the Genesis GV70 since 1992, the first in 2023. The most recent was launched on 22 July 2024.
The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may become defective and stop charging the 12-volt battery which can result in the vehicle entering into a ‘failsafe’ driving mode.
Launched 22 July 2024DVSA recall R/2024/165Manufacturer ref. 41D034
Defect
On affected vehicles the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may be come defective and stop charging the 12volt battery this can result in the vehicle entering a failsafe driving mode
Remedy
On all affected vehicles update the ICCU software and check and replace if necessary the ICCU and fuse.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Genesis GV70. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
