Here is an update, now that i have owned the car for almost a year!!..........even when you leave the car for more then a month...totally shut off....the battery will wear down....my car died after a long visit out of town....the car had to be boosted, and then the battery would not re_charge...dead!!....i brought it to my local dealer......it took a while to even find a replacement battery!!....using the skeleton key is almost impossible!!... ...i now have the hood open slightly, using a trickle charger. When i travel....now i find, the dealers have the same problem, with their cars on their lot..the batteries die even when off.!!!....i hope Genesis will solve this electrical problem. ..yes..they gave me a free new battery!! May not be a good choice as a secondary car???...KEN..FLA.. 12/7/24 UPDATE... Since I had the new battery installed and factory minor call back repairs...I have had no more Electrical problems....My car is a First year Production....Genesis is constantly trying to be the Number one in it's class......I am still Thrilled with my most modern car of it's kind!

Lipstick on a pig.

I signed a 3 year lease for my 2022 GV70 back in September of 2021. I remember going to the Genesis dealership and instantly falling in love with them. The car is visually stunning (I have the Matte Green color) on the outside and the inside is just as nice. Every bell and whistle you can imagine and nowhere near the cost of a Mercedes, Porsche or BMW. I've owned just about every luxury and non-luxury brand. This was far and away the best car and I decided for the first time in my life, I would be buying the car at the end of my lease. That is until 4 months ago when something seemed "off." I would be on the highway cruising along at 70mph and all of a sudden the car would slow down and start stalling. After about 5 seconds, it would go back to normal. This went on for 3 months. I took it to the dealership and they ran a diagnostic and said nothing was wrong. A few weeks later, I was driving with my family and the car suddenly died. No warning lights, nothing...it just shut off. To make matters worse, I was on a very busy street. We're lucky we didn't get into an accident. About 30 seconds later, the car started but when I got home, I couldn't put it into park. Only then did the check engine light come one. I had to shut the car off because none of the controls were working. I ended up towing it to the dealership and they told me there was an issue with the fuel injector. That was a 2 week ordeal and when I got it back, it seemed to be fine...until the AC went out about a week later. On the 4th of July we were heading over to a friends house and the car would not cool down. I shut the car off and restarted it again but it was blowing nothing but hot air. As you can imagine, I was very irritated. What are the odds that these major issues happen within a few months of each other? I've had cars for 5 years with no issues. I only have 13k miles now after almost 2 years! The problems started happening around 10k miles. I was sooooo disappointed because I truly love everything about this car but I can't trust it. I've never had a car have so many issues with so few miles. That's a bad sign and THANK GOODNESS IT'S A LEASE! I think Genesis spent all of their money on the outside appearance and interior of the car. The engine? Not so much. They had so cut back somewhere because this should be a 80-90k car. If it's too good to be true, it usually is. I would have been a "lifer" for this brand but now they will get a customer who will never be a Genesis owner ever again and will let everyone I know to avoid buying one (unless you love seeing your service advisor at the dealership on a regular basis). The "kicker" was it took over a month to fix the AC because there were numerous cars with the same problem. And the fuel injector issue? There were 8 cars ahead of me with the exact same problem as well. I realize 2022 was the first model year for the GV70. There are going to be issues the first time around. But to have major engine problems with not even 10k miles on the car? That's a serious, serious problem. I get it if I'm approaching 40k+ miles. The worst part was when the car just died while I was driving. That's not only scary, but potentially fatal. Something like this happened to me years ago when I bought the Jaguar XF after it just came out. After having the car less than a year, it died while I was driving. It scared the crap out of me and I will never buy a Jaguar again. I don't trust them. Unfortunately, that's how I feel with the Genesis GV70. Just like the Jaguar, it's a beautiful car with every option you can imagine...but the reliability is garbage. Genesis is now on my "never again in my life" list. I thought I found my dream car and a brand I would be loyal to for the rest of my life...but Genesis decided to put "lipstick on a pig" with the GV70. What a shame.

Believe me when i say that “Made in Korea” screams QUALITY! Performance! Luxury! 2.5L Turbo 300 hp. Exhilarating adrenaline when you switch to sport and push on the pedal. Launch control, all time 4WD, Auto steer lane assist (even with hands-off ;-) stop & go cruise with machine learning -comes standard. Tesla like Genesis app gives you full remote access to your car from anywhere as long as your phone has network. Apple car play & Android auto is standard. Colors & trims are at par with the german makes -benz bmw. Far superior than audi, lexus, acura, infiniti, volvo -period! 3 year service valet, 3 yr maintenance, 3 year roadside assistance, 3 yr Genesis connect service -FREE!

I recently traded in my X3 and could not be happier with the 2.5 T engine. The vehicle is like nothing else on the road. More than enough power and a well organized interior that clearly rivals it's German competitors. I would highly recommend this vehicle. It is now a year that I have been driving this vehicle and could not be happier. It is by far the best SUV in it's class. I still get stopped regularly by people wanting to know how I like it. Bravo Genesis!

I just got a GV70 2.5 T 300 HP Genesis. Excellent service and warranty, specially. The SUV rides great and accessories are affordable. Gas mileage might not be great, but if you read specifications and compare to other similar SUVs you will go for the Genesis. So far, very happy!!!
