Genesis has won over a growing number of luxury car owners with their strategy of giving buyers a lot for less.

Let's look at the numbers with this year's new GV70.

Standard features of the $41,500 GV70 Include:
All-wheel drive
Highway Driving Assist
Hands-free power liftgate
14.5-inch infotainment system with navigation
Wireless charging
Fingerprint ID
Parking distance warning
Smart cruise control with Stop and Go
Parking distance warning (rear)

Select trim ($4,000) adds: 19"
Alloy wheels
Panoramic roof
Ventilated front seats

Advanced trim ($4,150) adds:
Leather seats
Rear side sunshades
Heated steering wheel
Remote Smart Parking Assist

Parking distance warning (front)

The result is a $51,000 luxury car that would be at least $60,000+ equipped at this level.
