Towing Package

[Crider]

Not seeing any hitch options on the GV80 US Build or the Korean GV70 build page?? Not looking to tow but want a hitch for a bike rack. I do see discussions of hitch addition in the GV80 forums so assume/hope the GV70 would support that as a dealer add or aftermarket.

I’m in a similar boat, no pun. While the tow and cargo specs are not out at least in English, I can draw some logical conclusion based off of my SUV shopping.
1. Towing capacity is based on Vehicle weight and power train.
2. I have a Audi SQ5, 2” shorter and narrower than the GV70.
3. SQ5 and GV70 weigh the same
SQ5=4429 pounds
GV70 Sport=4431
4. GV70 Has more torque & HP
SQ5=354HP/369 FT/LB torque
GV70 3.5TT 375HP/391FT/LB torque

SQ5 tows 2000KG/4400 pounds.

Assumption; GV70 3.5TT can tow at least 4400 pounds- pending trailer hitch solution

According to Top Speed (link below), the GV70 has a towing capacity of 5000 lbs. Down from the GV80's capacity of 6000 lbs., even though they have the same engine options and power train. But with the smaller, lighter '70, other factors kick in.

1. Towing capacity is based on Vehicle weight and power train.

Towing capacity is based on a number of factors, not just the weight and powertrain. A number used to help calculate this is the vehicles GVWR, or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, which will help calculate the towing weight rating. GVWR is maximum your vehicle can weight safely when loaded with gas, occupants and cargo. When a vehicle manufacturer rates a vehicle for its maximum weight, and towing capacity, they are taking into consideration the suspension system, frame, axles, wheels, wheelbase, and other components bearing the load.

If they put in axles that cannot handle the towing weight, it will not be able to tow as much. Etc...

LET ME GIVE A LONG ENGINEERING DISSERTATION THAT REALLY DOESNT ANSWER THE TOPIC AT HAND. capacity is based on a number of factors, not just the weight and powertrain. A number used to help calculate this is the vehicles GVWR, or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, which will help calculate the towing weight rating. GVWR is maximum your vehicle can weight safely when loaded with gas, occupants and cargo.

If they put in axles that cannot handle the towing weight, it will not be able to tow as much. Etc... to the question at hand-which was what is the towing capacity of the Genesis GV70...that’s for you to figure out. Have a nice day

"I can draw some logical conclusion based off of my SUV shopping.... 1. Towing capacity is based on Vehicle weight and power train."

I simply stated that was an incorrect logical conclusion you arrived at, and why (for not just you but others reading the thread in the future). Nothing more, nothing less. No reason to get snippy. We're all waiting for that next hit of info. What will win in the info dept? Towing capacity or rear cargo dimensions?
