What We Learned After Testing a Genesis GV70 Over 40,000 Miles | Car and Driver

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Read more: www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...
Our 2022 Genesis GV70 sailed through our 40,000-mile long-term test.
Genesis was already scoring points in the luxury segment when the GV70 entered the game. The G70 sports sedan earned a 10Best award in 2019, and the GV80 SUV did so in 2021. But the GV70 is a bigger deal than both of those vehicles, or any other Genesis model, because it plays in the premium market's largest and most important segment. And after the GV70 vanquished the BMW X3 and the Lexus RX in a three-way comparison test, we ordered one up for a 40,000-mile shakedown.

    Love the GV70 - I just do. As a PRO detailer I can tell you one thing - they were right about the trim at Genesis. Those automatic carwashes can totally destroy chrome trim wheels and much more. If you have such car - get it protected (like with Nano graphene coatings from Artdeshine) by really good detailer and just maintain it properly. It will keep looking stunning for years to come!

    I have a gv 70 3.5t with the dark metal trim and it started to get a haze layer over it after hand washes and clay wax, I thought it was just residue, but turns out it was a known issue with genesis and the dealer replaced it all. The problem was with the metal trim’s plastic protector adhesive from the factory and when it sat in sunlight and loading lots in Los Angeles, they only remove the protective film at the dealers, and there wouldn’t be any immediate visual issues or residue until months later. They offer a two step process at the dealer here in la, they attempt to clean it with a spray that removes alittle of the residue but it also could remove the dark metal color, after that cleaning is not satisfactory, they order replacement trim and change it all out and it looks brand new again. It’s been 4 months since I got the metal door trim replaced and it’s looking great.

I'm disappointed by so many manufacturers and their "sticking to the what we've always done" attitude towards factory warranties. These vehicles aren't cheap to work on and getting the most warranty possible is a big deal to me. Both of my children drive Hyundais so I looked at the Genesis lineup and the GV70 is looking like it could be my next car.

Samsung Electronics earns more than the profits of 10 Japanese electronics companies. They compete with Apple for smartphones and with Taiwan's TSMC to make other miscellaneous home appliances. High-definition TV panels can only be made by Korean electronics. There are three battery companies in Korea, and their technology is the world's top 3dl. The battery company and Hyundai Kia Motors are leading electric vehicles. It competes with Tesla. The technological completeness of electric vehicles is incomparable to that of Chinese European automakers. It will compete with Tesla, but it will be a tight match in the next 5 years. Hyundai Kia Motors is twice Toyota's operating profit ratio and is the third-largest in the world in sales. Industry experts predict that the odds will exceed Volkswagen and Toyota in three years. Although they drive thousands of cars a year by profession, Hyundai-Kia has superior price-to-ground performance compared to Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Ford. Believe it or not, in ten years, half the streets will be filled with modern Kia cars.

    ​@ericbinder2165 Here's some food for thought. What is the average lifespan of a car in your driveway? Notice I said your driveway. The average American "buys" a new car (often leases) every 3 to 5 years. Yep, you heard correctly. Three to five years. That's it. The fairytale concept that a car should last you 20 years and 250,000 miles is really a decades old argument. I mean we're talking 90s when it was extremely important to buy a reliable car. It's difficult to find a bad modern car. Sure people still get stuck with a lemon here n there. But you have the lemon law, and you have manufacturer warranties for non critical issues. Heck, I had to take in my 2018 BMW after 300 miles for an alignment. And a rattling exhaust at 1000 miles. Warranty is a beautiful thing. And also, yes. I do see old hyundais and kias where I live. Just not as many as old Hondas and toyotas because guess what, hyundai wasn't selling quite as much back then. It's just simple math.

That trim had all of my must haves and most wants. 300hp is more than enough oomph and torque for my needs driving in city traffic (0-60 in around 5.6 seconds). I note the 2024 advanced trim will no longer come with ventilated front seats, lexicon sound system and remote park assist ! Only 5k miles so far but extremely happy owner.

    With respect to the chrome trim getting water spots off it there is a solution. The dealer telling you it is car washes is just plain stupid. We have a GV70 and had this issue. I can assure you that it has been hand washed from day one. Mother's chrome polish cleans it right up. It requires a decent amount of elbow grease, but our trim looks brand new. I have seen multiple reports on the forum that suggest Brasso also works well. It is annoying, but it is less effort than fighting with a dealer. I find the paint quality to be very good too. We love the Saville Silver.

It started chipping and rubbing off around the door edges and the doors within only a few months of ownership.

If you buy it new, as we did, they come pick the car up/drop off a loaner, fix it and then return. Took them 1 day to replace the actuator. You can drive the car before replacement you just get the warming of "Check limited slip differential". They will come grab the car if you are within a radius of 25 miles. I'd recommend the 3.5 Sport prestige for sure. His comments regarding the chrome/wheels are true. Make sure you don't take the car through any auto-washes, we only hand wash and use good chemicals that aren't acidic. Any other questions feel free to ask!

Am I supposed to not wash my car? just because they decided to use cheap paint instead of heavy-duty paint? thank you for this review ... this is a kind useful review. anything new looks good also the chrome trim that been a problem in the previous Genesis. the dark copper color is as good as it looks but it won't last and most people get it fixed under warranty. which is kind of annoying. simple cosmetic trim like that can't handle the elements !! again at the price you pay, that shouldn't be happening.

Obviously, that’s a Significant Splurge on the 22 inch tires (current models) or any new tires - on a new car, or relatively new (2 - 3 yrs) w/obviously respectable tires on it already.

    The GV70 is pretty great, but the service of the brand can be terrible. The Santa Monica dealership is the worst experience I have ever had with any brand in the last 20 years. They NEVER call you back reliably (I have always had to call multiple times to even just get an appointment), they NEVER confirm you will get a loaner ahead of the time, and the service valet is wrongly advertised by Genesis: The Genesis website says something like 'pick up your car wherever', but the fine print from the dealer limits this. The dealer and Genesis North America have different overlapping maintenance schedules that make you call them to ask 'ok, another maintenance alarm, do I NOW have to come)?' and any complaints about the dealership, Genesis North America brushes off with 'those are all franchises, we can't do anything'. So yes, the car is nice, the interior is great, but if you ever need ANYTHING from the dealership or the company, you may be out of luck. I will sell mine before the warranty is up, I'm sick and tired of dealing with an incompetent team.

    What cellular receivers did they use? Their early models used the 3g receivers (slated to be out of service within 3 years), a major cost-cutting measure which led to ALL connected functionality ending for Genesis owners like myself overnight. No remote start, vehicle safety monitoring, maintenance monitoring and diagnostics, or anything through the Genesis apps on the "S-class competitor" G90. Have been massively disappointed in my Genesis - front panel had to be stripped and re-painted as paint was just falling off of one panel, transmission is ripping itself apart thanks to their smart cruise control and overactive forward collision's false emergency stops, slow and glitchy UI, terrible lane keep assist which frequently loses lines on the road and turns off, undercarriage is coming off, I'm 6'0" and it is NOT a comfortable fit at this height.

Im in the process of selling my Mercedes and buying the Genesis. I just dont know which model yet!!!!! lol. G80 GV70 or GV80. My Mercedes has been the worst experience ive had with a luxury vehicle company. In CA if you buy Mercedes dont buy from the company itself buy from a private mercedes dealership. BMW is way more fun to drive but lacks that luxury comfort. IMO. Lexus was the best for me so far in terms of reliability and comfort. Mini (subjectively not luxury but owned by BMW) was the most durable. I drove that thing threw the snow, up mountains, and put 80K miles on it in a year and aside from some plastic parts wearing down the car never had any major issues. Im very excited to finally get the genesis!!!
