2023 G70 - Not what I'd hoped for

I have a 2023 G70 with only 4000 mi, that I bought new last year. It already has quality issues (2 medium and 1 minor) which is frustrating when you're used to Lexus quality. What I'm completely disappointed in is the customer service and lack of white glove treatment that I get at Lexus. I went with the Genesis over a Lexus because of the price point and awesome looks of the G70 and now I'm regretting that decision. This will be my last Genesis... going back to Lexus asap. Advice: If you want the best quality and top notch customer service go with a Lexus. The price difference isn't worth it. If you don't care as much about quality then I'd go with one of the German cars.

I'm a former BMW and Audi owner and read other reviews thinking I would get a much better car for less money. WRONG! I've owned this car for a month now and I've already contacted the dealership to see if they'd buy it back. Not because it's malfunctioning. It's just NOT a good car. Maybe... I mean maaaayyyybeee... if you were upgrading from a Hyundai or Kia or if this was the absolute top of your budget could I see buying one. But honestly, I think a honda civic sport touring with better tires would be an equally compelling option that would save you $8K-$10K. I'll start with the few things about it I find redeeming. 1. It is in fact peppy, but at significant cost of fuel economy. 2. The exterior is well designed, but how much time do you spending riding on the outside of the car? 3. The seats are decently comfortable, although I've not driven it more than 100 miles at one time. Now for the bad... 1. Again the fuel economy. It's horrid. Maybe 25 combined on premium fuel if I don't go punch it. But what fun is that since fun to drive was the reason to buy it. My BMW X7 doesn't do much worse. 2. Highway driving assist makes the care feel insecure in its handling. When activated, it bounces back and forth so much that you feel like you are about to lose control of the car. It's worse in the rain. MUCH worse. 3. Those "soft touch" surfaces on the center console and door are anything but. While driving my knee generally rests against the center console, but after about 30 minutes it starts to hurt because the surface material is so firm. Genesis covers it in a synthetic leather type material (I suspect vinyl) to make it seem "soft" and on a quick touch it might seem that way. But after a few minutes, you realize it's not. 4. The WIRED Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a bigger annoyance than you might think. Generally the wire ends up getting wrapped around the gear shifter or lodged between my cup and the cupholder. 5. The "auto adjust" head lights reset to off every time you turn off the car. So when you turn it back on, you have to remember to re-activate them on the stalk. 6. No HUD unless you spring for the $55K plus 3.3T Prestige trim. At that price, you could spend just a little more for an Audi A5 Prestige or BMW 3/4 Series with Msport package. 7. No ambient lighting. Period. Not available at all. 8. Trunk is extremely small. A couple of duffel backs and that's it. Certainly you aren't making a Costco run in this thing. 9. Unlocking the back doors is a pain. You can't just walk up to the rear door with the fab in your pocket and pull on the door handle. You either have to take out the fab and unlock from there. Or you have to go to the front door handle and hit it twice to unlock it. 10. And what about that leg room in the back seat... I mean it's cramped. My 9 year old who's 4' 5" even has trouble back there. 11. Probably one of the biggest shocks was that after owning it a month and putting not quite 1000 miles on it, I'm already received a notification that I need to schedule maintenance. When I go to schedule the "concierge" maintenance because it's "included" right?! Wrong, the dealer I purchased from doesn't offer it because of "low inventory". Nor would they even offer me a hyundai. Best they could do was a shuttle. Do yourself a favor and if you can afford luxury. Look elsewhere. If the G70 is the top of your budget, save yourself some money and go with a fully loaded Civic.

I've had my 2023 G70 3.3TT AWD Sport (in Canada, same as US Sport Prestige) for just over a year and 9000kms after purchasing it brand new. I was aware of the small back seat and the smallish trunk - I really looked at this car as a two-door sports coupe with four doors. I was also aware of the poor fuel economy (I'm averaging around 13L/100kms in mixed driving), but didn't realize that the fuel tank was so small resulting in a ridiculously small range. I love the exterior and interior design, I think that the 2022 refresh had a dramatic improvement on the exterior look which is unique to Genesis - the pre-refresh looked fine, but very generic with cues from many different cars. The two main competitors for my money were the BMW M340i xDrive and the Audi S4/S5. I've owned several BMWs in the past, but I don't like their current exterior and interior design - two many polygon shapes and the "space ship" looking interior. The BMW has a far superior drivetrain with noticeably more power, better fuel economy, and the ZF 8HP is the best in class transmission; but their suspension tuning is not the BMW of old - it's too harsh in sport, and too wallowy in comfort. The Audi was much more attractive inside and out, had similar power to the G70, but couldn't hide it's nose-heavy FWD roots. Both Germans had much shorter available warranties, and cost significantly more. So far, The G70 has been sure-footed in my Canadian winter (with 18" winter tires, of course) and a powerful, fun car to drive enthusiastically in the summer. Fortunately, in Canada the AWD Sport comes factory-equipped with staggered Michelin Pilot 4 summer tires (like the US RWD Sport Prestige) - this likely is a huge contributor to the sharp handling, excellent steering response, and prodigious grip. The smaller interior combined with the well-bolstered sport seats give a much more close-coupled feeling than other sedans, but the back seats remain usable for adults for in-town trips. Other than the first annual scheduled maintenance, the car has needed a minor adjustment to the driver's door weatherstripping that was creating a bit of wind noise. Things that could be better: (1) the aforementioned fuel tank size (2) Lexicon audio - as another reviewer mentioned, it's excessively centre-channel focused to the point that it may as well have one speaker. Additionally, considering that the car has wired Apple Carplay/Android Auto and no hard disk or CD player, having a single USB input into the infotainment system is inexcusable - this means, for example, if you use Carplay for Waze, you can't use USB for music, only the radio or your phone. My previous 2016 Cadillac CTS had no less than THREE USB and one SD card inputs for the audio system!!! (3) the seats are a little too firm and flat - although firm bolstering is appropriate, there is no need for the seat bottom and back to be as unforgiving as they are. I haven't yet gone on a multi-hour trip in this car, but I can see the seats literally becoming a sore point. My CTS had firm but comfortable memory foam seats; the seats in my Porsche 997.2 C2S are more comfortable than those in the G70.

I purchased a 2023 G70. My problems started at 400 miles I continued to get Maintenance Alerts that the dealer could not find a fix. Finally dealer told me they would not make anymore service appointments because they know they can’t fix the problem. Watch out for ELECTRICAL issues. Again the dealer can’t correct. It’s been two years of constant frustration with no help from Genesis Corporate even after getting two case numbers assigned to my problems. Please, please run away from Genesis. Way too scary.
Great vehicle - yet there's room for improvement

I've had the 2023 G70 3.3t for over a year now. I really like the car, however there are places were the car needs improvement. Besides dealership experience, which will be fixed once the actual Genesis dealership is built, the build quality needs improvement. My car is making several rattles and noises and that should not be the case for a car in this price range. I also had an issue with the front sensors misfiring for no reason but the dealership replaced the sensor for me. Besides that this car has been a joy. I really hope Genesis irons out these issues as I would be open to getting another g70 in the future if they do.
