Excellent service and advice throughout the purchase process. I honestly felt the team was working for my best interest when they recommend the GV70 2022. 4wheel drive fully equipped and safety features that were everything I desired!

Unsafe Car

My car has been in the shop several times and now the latest is 3 weeks. Unsafe to drive. Cuts out while driving and decelerates and acceleration without warning. Corporate just keeps telling I’ll let you know what legal department says. It is clearly a lemon. I will never or my daughter get in The car ever again. Not SAFE!!!

There aren't many luxury brands out there that have vehicles that aren't a dime a dozen and have settled into mediocrity - in this price range. They were all quite boring and behind on technology compared to the GV70! I purchased the 2.5T Prestige model to get better gas mileage (the V6 isn't great on mileage but who buys a V6 Twin Turbo for good gas mileage?) and to get a softer ride as here in Canada, you still get 19" wheels which provide a much softer, more luxurious ride than the 21" wheels. There have been some growing pains, but I knew buying a brand new model there would be some kinks to work out. The rear differential had to be replaced almost immediately but it didn't prevent me from driving the car while I waited the 4-5 weeks to get the new part. The service for me has been excellent. There are many, many horror stories about bad service but my experience has always been positive. They picked up my vehicle from work, left me a loaner, brought it back 3-4 hours later all done - easy! Update: well, a few more problems since my original review. Got in a fender bender with a Honda that thought it was okay to turn left across 3 lanes of traffic. It took FOUR MONTHS to get the needed parts to repair! I could still drive it but who wants to drive a brand new car with a smashed in front fender? Then I could t accelerate consistently and needed a new throttle body. That took 5 weeks. While they looked at that, determined I needed a new water pump. Had problems with the steering being stuff when it gets cold (-30) so they replaced the steering rack. This is a whole lot of reapirs on a brand new car under a year old. I believe the infotainment system is the best available (again in this price range) - nobody has anything better...amazing 14.5" ultra-wide screen, great safety technology, Android Auto (wired but I have a wireless adapter), navigation, phone app remote access, remote parking, etc...the voice recognition system built in sucks, but everything else is great. It's a very comfortable car, even when it's -35 to -40 like it often is where I live - start it with your phone, turn on the heated seats and steering wheel, set the temperature and it's toasty warm when you get in. We'll see what the reliability is like over the long term but I plan to keep this vehicle for 10+ years. I have almost 10,000 KM on it so far and it has been rock solid...most complaints are due to service issues (which are significant with many dealerships especially in the US) or people who don't like the "badge" and call it a Hyundai. It is most definitely not a Hyundai - this has been built from the ground up by Genesis and it shows. Build quality is excellent and it creates a smooth, super quiet ride. I find myself actually more calm after my commute instead of stressed out driving my old car every day (I have a 100 KM commute round trip every day). I dropped a star due to the inaccessibility of parts and the number of issues I've had in the first year. Need to do better.

GV70 traded back

Like many people, I bought into the extraordinary reviews this car received, and after driving Volvos and Audis for year, bought one after a very brief test drive. 4000 miles later, I've just traded it in and went back to Volvo. Based on 6 months of ownership: Pros: Very nice and quiet drive. Good visibility. Excellent stereo. Comfortable seats. Very pretty car. Cons: The electronics and systems are just funky. Two days into ownership, the stereo just died and needed a software reset. The adaptive cruise control is frightening at times, suddenly slowing down without any obvious reason at all (theory: the sensors are 'seeing' oncoming traffic rather than the car in front); AC sometimes works, sometimes not; AppleCar play: sometimes to the spoken navigation direction comes on, sometimes not; tire pressure monitoring system all over the place, causing me to constantly fill with air just in case; and other misc. stuff that to me, is entirely unacceptable for a $52k car. Also, and this one is weird - the windshield doesn't get clean. Mine came with the outline of what probably had been decals and stickers, burned in; and even regular old dirt won't come off, even after going through a car wash. All of this made me worried about long-term ownership. Oh and I don't live near a dealership and this whole: we will come to you didn't happen in reality. Back to Volvo. The ride isn't as quiet, but I feel a lot more certain about the systems than I ever did in the Genesis.

Best New SUV

Having owned a Volvo, Acura, BMW and Lincoln, I can definitely state that the GV70 Sport Prestige beats them all and is worth the Motor Trend SUV of the year title. Edmunds editors' opinion notwithstanding, the GV70 3.5T is a race car with an SUV shape. It is powerful, sporty, fun to drive (especially in Sport mode) and is a head turner. The car is comfortable for both long and short distances and is easy to enter and exit since the front seats move back when the doors open (important at my age - >70). The fit and finish and the quality of trim beats any European vehicle of similar price range. This SUV is not inexpensive at the top model but it is worth every penny. I recommend.
