Examining the pros and cons of the brand's compact SUVs with differing powertrains.

. But how does the gas-powered GV70 compare to the smaller, similarly priced all-electric GV60? Is the electric SUV a better option? Which is the one to buy?With its smaller body and more powerful drivetrain, you'd think the 429-hp GV60 is the sportier model of the two, especially when you compare the top-of-the-line Performance model with the 375-hp GV70's Sport Prestige and its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6.

Straight-line acceleration isn't everything, though. Despite being slower than the GV60, the GV70 feels more dynamic on the road, leaning into corners with more emotion and providing lots of feedback from its steering.

, the Ioniq 5 and EV6. Still, the GV60 has that tech-forward look and feel that EVs are known for, and it adopts a circular theme design across the cabin, taking a page from the GV70's ovoid theme. There's no question the GV60's materials feel and look nicer than those found in the Ioniq 5 or EV6, but the GV70's interior is stellar and unique, a step beyond its electric sibling.
