Genesis is the best luxury vehicle in its class. They never disappoint and the designs are way ahead of its time.

Honestly, I love what Genesis is doing! They have definitely stepped up there game this past year. I would easily choose this over the X3 M40i, Volvo X660 and all of the other competitors.

You'd have to be blind or very biased not appreciate Genesis' first swing in this class, and boy did they knock it out. They chased luxury and refinement with remarkable execution. The way the leather wraps nearly the entire interior reminds of what Rolls does(yes, I'm aware it ain't a Rolls, but in design, it reminds me of it). The shape is reminiscent of a Porsche Macan, again not bad company. LOVE the bold exterior lighting. There are some small details: Hyundai/Kia has got to get serious on wireless Carplay/AA. It is simply unacceptable in a luxury car to not have it. The rear wiper kills the clean lines of the rear design. No cooled rear seats(present in a Telluride/Palisade), and the wheels...which look to be a PITA to clean! Still, this thing is amazing...

The strange things with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto and the Hyundai group of vehicles, is that they do offer this with their cars with smaller / narrower screens. So there are cars where lower trims have wireless and higher trims do not. In this case, all of the GV70s have that very wide screen, so none of them have wireless. Would be good to understand why they can’t make it work wirelessly on wider screens.

Best car I’ve ever owned. I cross shopped it with the X3 M40i and the Volvo XC60 Recharge, and this beat both of them by a long range in interior quality and comfort, was significantly better than the Volvo in driving dynamics, and came extremely close to matching the X3 in general driving dynamics, with the X3 being much more bumpy in sports mode (because this trim of the GV70 has the look ahead camera that prepares the wheels for potholes or bumps and softens those, while there wasn’t a trim or option on the X3 that did that).

Drives smooth, accelerates well, the tech is fantastic, the ride is nice and quiet, and there's complimentary maintenance. I love it so much but of course it's not perfect, it's a gas guzzler and it's missing a few things: wireless android auto/carplay, door locking/unlocking sensors on the rear door handles, and memory passenger seats.

I understand the fascination for oddities and the attention such things come with, but matte is an inferior finish. Paint technology will likely overcome these problems someday, and although the aesthetics don't do it for me, at least that option will make sense at that point.

It’s very Luxury and awesome! I love the red interior and Glass Shifter and Metal speaker grills!

They're already outselling Infiniti just like I said they would. This is their all around best looking product. Can't wait to see the new G90 reviewed and in person. Also where is the GV80 Prestige Signature?

Careful with the matte colors. I was strongly considering a matte color gv70 and was advised by the salesman that they are hand wash only. Do not attempt to drive through a car wash with the matte colors - maybe if it’s brushless. He said they even provide the glove they are to be hand washed with.

Absolutely gorgeous SUV - love that red interior! Great styling, power & tech and priced very competitively against the Germans (AND it comes with a spare tire!).

It seems the market for these have corrected itself around me and even offering discounts right off the bat.

Going matte is a terrible idea for a daily driver or road tripper. I understand the fascination many have for the attention oddities bring, but it's an inferior finish. I think we'll eventually be looking back on this fad from the future, and it will rank up there with the awkwardness of bell bottoms and leisure suits. Of course technological advances might overcome the disadvantages at some point, and then you can choose to go dull without the hassles.

GV70 owners, how’s the wear and tear on this car?

Only draw back is the mileage. Less than 400 on a fill up. And it's so stupid that if you get the prestige you can't get the diamond nappa leather, which is the veat interior design for the seat

I will be right to GV 70 it’s right the rotary version of the Tucson in Santa Fe It’s definitely one of the best attack vampires the Mercedes GLC is getting one too
