The Best 6-Cylinder SUVs of 2026

The Genesis GV70 is our top-ranked small luxury SUV thanks to a blend of design, comfort and performance. It emphasizes style with its sloped roof, requiring you to make sacrifices to cargo space, but the looks are undeniably worth it to some. More importantly, the GV70’s no-nonsense interior is as functional as it is luxurious, combining everything we love about the Hyundai Motor Group’s straightforward tech with high-caliber materials like leather, wood and suede. The GV70 is also updated for 2026, featuring tweaked looks and a huge all-in-one 27-inch display.

Genesis’ six-cylinder option is only available on the GV70’s upper trims, but it feels worth it, with a full 75 horses more than the four-cylinder for a total of 375 horsepower. Power is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The V6 itself feels responsive, and thanks to two turbochargers, there’s more than enough acceleration to satiate even the most power-hungry drivers. The GV70 is also pretty engaging, providing drivers with some entertainment on a curvy road.
