2022 Ford Expedition vs 2023 Genesis GV70

The 2022 Ford Expedition underwent significant updates, featuring exterior styling revisions and enhanced infotainment technology. The front of the vehicle showcased a new grille, headlights, and bumper, while the rear was updated with revised taillights, tailgate trim, and a new bumper. Redesigned wheels were introduced across the model lineup. The Expedition was available in various trims, including the new Timberline trim, which catered to off-road enthusiasts with features like standard four-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, and increased ground clearance. Inside, the Expedition boasted a redesigned dashboard with the new Sync 4 and Sync 4A infotainment systems, offering a large 15.5-inch touchscreen display. The Limited Stealth Edition, with its leather seats and advanced tech, provided a luxurious experience despite some F-150 pickup-grade plastic trim.

The 2023 Genesis GV70 drew stylistic inspiration from the G70 compact luxury sedan, with design elements like split-bar headlights and a chrome line that visually connected it to its sedan counterpart. The GV70's interior was a testament to luxury, featuring top-notch materials and a blend of contemporary and classic design. The dashboard housed a full touchscreen backed by a rotary dial and button controls, offering a user-friendly experience. The GV70 was available in gas-powered and electrified versions, with various trims offering features like power-adjustable front seats, heated and ventilated seats, and advanced tech options. The Electrified GV70 impressed with its luxury credentials, featuring cream-colored quilt-stitched seats and a high-contrast interior design.

The 2022 Ford Expedition was powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, producing 380 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque in the standard version. The engine was paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, driving the rear wheels unless 4WD was opted for. The Expedition's fuel economy ranged from 17 to 19 mpg in combined driving, with a towing capacity between 9,000 and 9,300 pounds. The twin-turbo V6 delivered an addictive power experience, though it guzzled gas when pushed hard. The Expedition's driving dynamics were generally smooth, but the Stealth Edition's sport-tuned suspension could have benefited from the adaptive damping suspension found in higher trims. Despite its size, the Expedition was surprisingly easy to park, thanks to excellent visibility and parking sensors.

The 2023 Genesis GV70 offered two engine options: a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, and a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. Both engines were mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive. The GV70 Electrified featured a 77.4-kWh battery powering two electric motors, delivering a combined 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, with a Boost Mode increasing output to 483 horsepower. The electric GV70 had a range of 236 miles and supported DC fast charging. The GV70's handling was well-rounded, offering a blend of comfort and sporty performance, though the electrified version leaned slightly more towards comfort.

The 2022 Ford Expedition excelled in providing comfort and space, with power running boards for easy entry and exit. The interior featured power-adjustable, leather-wrapped, heated, and ventilated front seats, along with a heated steering wheel. The second-row captain's chairs offered ample legroom and comfort, while the third-row seat provided outstanding leg support. Cargo space was generous, with 19.3 cubic feet behind the third row, expandable to 104.6 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. The Expedition Max variant offered even more cargo capacity.

The 2023 Genesis GV70 provided 56.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded and 28.9 cubic feet with the seats in use. The GV70 came standard with a hands-free power liftgate and featured decently large cupholders in the center console. The front seats were easily adjustable for comfort, though rear legroom was tighter, requiring front-row occupants to slide their seats forward. The rear bench reclined for added comfort.

The 2022 Ford Expedition featured the next-generation Sync 4 and Sync 4A infotainment systems, with the latter offering a 15.5-inch touchscreen. Both systems included wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, FordPass Connect, and a connected navigation system. Higher trims added features like SiriusXM satellite radio and Bang & Olufsen premium sound systems. The Sync 4A system had some quirks, such as accidental activation of the defroster function and issues with Apple CarPlay. The Expedition also offered an upgraded rear-seat entertainment system with Amazon Fire TV.
