BMW 4 Series vs Genesis GV70

What's the difference?

Without a whole lot of fanfare BMW has slipped yet another model into its Australian line-up.

Sitting alongside existing coupe and convertible variants, the new 4 Series Gran Coupe follows the template established by the previous gen version. 

A sports luxury four-door with a sleek, fastback twist, it provides a more adventurous alternative to its close 3 Series cousin. 

Offered in three grades, this is the M440i xDrive, the 3.0-litre, six-cylinder, all-wheel drive 4 Series Gran Coupe flagship. 

It competes with premium all-wheel drive four-doors like Audi’s S5 Sportback, the Jaguar XF P300 R-Dynamic HSE, and the Mercedes-AMG C 43.  

The Genesis GV70 Electrified Signature Performance has had a meaningful update, and it’s not just a light refresh. 

This latest version brings significant improvements to technology, safety, and design.

With only one grade available, this review looks at whether it’s the smart choice for anyone wanting to step into a luxury electric medium SUV.
