<\/p>\nSince its debut, the Genesis GV70 has been one of Hyundai Motor Group\u2019s most luxurious products. Even though the brand is already working on a refreshed version of the crossover, it is by no means an old vehicle. Before the facelifted model is ready to be launched, Genesis is breaking new ground in the off-road segment with the debut of an overlanding GV70 designed and built in cooperation with off-road specialists Delta. For now, it’s just a concept, though.<\/p>\n
Created to celebrate Delta\u2019s 40th anniversary, the GV70 Project Overland is a prototype that turns the luxury crossover into a much more capable machine without going into deep chassis modifications. Thanks to a suspension upgrade, however, the vehicle now sits almost two inches higher from the ground and has a wider stance coming from the set of 18-inch Classic B Rugged black wheels equipped with Continental ATR tires. This setup sits under extended wheel arches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Further enhancing the off-road look is a set of additional PIAA lights mounted onto the roof, as well as Baja Style lights integrated into the grille. For those who prioritize carrying essential gear for their adventures, there\u2019s a specially designed roof rack that offers secure attachment points.<\/p>\n
Enthusiasts and curious onlookers alike are invited to experience the GV70 Project Overland firsthand at the Essen Motor Show in Germany between December 1 and 10. Interestingly, you can find the concept displayed at the Continental booth.<\/p>\n
As for the facelifted GV70 we mentioned earlier, we expect the crossover to receive a refreshed front fascia with new G90-like headlights and an updated radiator grille on the combustion-powered models. Other visual changes seem likely and there might also be improvements inside the cabin. The larger and more expensive GV80 is rumored to receive a giant 27-inch OLED curved screen and it will be interesting to see whether the smaller model will also be upgraded with a new dashboard layout.<\/p>\n
