We've never owned a luxury vehicle of any kind so we really wanted to treat ourselves with this purchase. Because this would be our most expensive vehicle purchase by far, we compared and tested many 5-seat luxury SUVs. All had some good points but the GV70 checked more boxes than any of the others. We've now owned our 2025 2.5T Sport Prestige for close to a month and absolutely love the performance, the drive quality, the quiet cabin, the excellent audio system and the luxurious appointments. We're in the Sierra Nevada foothills so we've taken several drives "up the hill" on winding mountain roads and 26% grades, in elevations from 2000 to 10,000 feet, and temperatures up to 110°. The GV70 has handled everything we've thrown at it with competence and poise. There have been no issues whatsoever - we've enjoyed every minute we've spent in the Genesis. Are there any downsides? Well, the GV70 does feel rather heavy on tight mountain turns. A BMW X3 would handle the twisties with a little more balance, but at the expense of ride quality. An Audi Q5 would return better fuel mileage. A Lexus NX350 may be more reliable over time. But every one of these compact SUVs cost more than the GV70 Sport Prestige when comparably equipped, and they don't do as many things as well as the GV. No car is perfect so the GV70 won't get 5 stars from me but 4.7 stars? ABSOLUTELY!

I bought my GV70 in June 2025. It seemed to be a nice car. I was offered a lot of services whoch are good just for the ofering. Fpor example concierge service. Thanks god I did not pay for extra two years. Now about the car. I got multimple failure alarms on the transmission (about 6 or 7). It still is in the dealer's shop fpr a transmision replacement. They replaced several parts but nothing worked. Now I am without a car for already 3 weeks, again a brand new car. Genesis is working on buying back but it is extremely slow. Services I got from Genesis corporate are not eally good. The deal at Lake Park Napleton is fine but again I have a new car which i actualy I do not. Ladislau Hajos

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR

If the title doesn’t relay the message… DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. I purchased a brand new 2025 GV70 in September. No miles on it - I drove it off the lot. Drove it for 3 months and then one day my dashboard, speedometer, all the “tech” stopped working. When I dropped it off at genesis they said they would need to replace my “cluster” and it will only be 2 weeks. Flash forward 2 months, I am still without my car & still without answers. I have to leave a minimum of 4 voicemails each day to even get someone to call me back & give me an update. Paying $60k for a car only for everything to stop working 3 months later and have to BEG for an answer is absolutely ridiculous. This LOOKS like a luxury car but let me tell you it is NOT one. Keep in mind the entire time I did have my car, the Apple car play only works if you have it plugged in. “Works” is also an exaggeration. It would consistently skip while playing music to the point where you would have to unplug, let it reset and try again, MULTIPLE TIMES. So many issues with the tech and system - this car is not worth the price. Save yourself. Do not buy this car unless you enjoy throwing away money & enjoy spending numerous hours going back and forth between service calls begging for an answer.
Great car, great ride, horrible dealer service

If you like a great ride, smooth and comfortable, with a lot of amenities at a value price, this car maybe something you would enjoy. However, we have had nothing but problems with the software. First, the 2025 purchased has a 2022 software package. As a result, the Apple Car App does not work. Who would expect to purchase a brand new 2025 car with old software? After many trips to dealer and even speaking to Genesis Customer care, they said you would need to go to the dealer to get updated. With much patience, I went to a dealer for an appointment that Genesis customer care set up. Once I arrived, they said, you need to do yourself by purchasing at minimum a 64GB external drive and downloading the update and inserting on the car myself. I also learned that the car already has a recall on the dashboard electronics. While at the dealer, they said they would update. However, it will take at least the rest of the day, and no guarantee it will take. Unfortunately, the dealer and service at Rick Case Hyundai said they would not provide a loaner as I have an out of state license. Unbelievable. They really did not care, and blamed Genesis. Unfortunate as we were considering purchasing a second GV70 for a relative and the sales and service team at Rick Case did not care. Horrible service. Why would anyone purchase a car from a dealer that did not care about accomodating the customer and only blame the brand? Not smart....they just lost a sale and word of mouth poor advertising. To bad as we like the comfort and ride, but if your considering this car, WARNING! Rick Cass Genesis/Hyundai Atlanta service is POOR. We eventually our purchased via Kennesaw GA Genesis and cannot say enough about them from end to end. From the Manager, to the sales person, to the service people. They updated my software free of charge (yes, most dealers charge), while we purchased another GV70. A 2026 model which seems to be fine on software. If you live in Atlanta, I highly recommend Kennesaw Genesis. They are professional and courteous and care about the customer. The service manager at Rick Case Gwinnett does not.

July 19, 2025 Still unresolved – brake issue dismissed despite clear evidence I originally brought my brand new Genesis GV70 in on June 9, 2025 due to a persistent and loud metal-on-metal noise when reversing down my driveway. Despite capturing clear video evidence and even having a service technician pick up my vehicle and hear it in person, I was told again on July 10 that this noise is “normal.” They picked up the car and replaced the rear pads, kept the car 3 days, returned the car, claimed they fixed it and per the video attached, brakes still making noise. What makes this worse is that the loaner GV70 I was given (same model) does NOT make this sound. I’ve submitted multiple complaints, videos, and recordings — and yet the issue continues to be dismissed. After service, the sound is still present. At this point, I’ve lost confidence in both the vehicle’s build quality and the service department’s ability to resolve what is clearly a non-standard issue. I hope Genesis takes ownership at a corporate level before this becomes a safety issue for others. June 9, 2025 – I brought the car to the dealership service department, reporting the metal-on-metal braking sound. Despite the fact that the sound occurs every time I reverse down my driveway, I was told that the dealership could not replicate the issue and was told the noise was “normal.” July 8, 2025 – After escalating my concern to Genesis Customer Service, an arrangement was made for a service technician to pick up my vehicle for further investigation. I captured a video of the technician reversing the car from my driveway, clearly demonstrating the noise. July 10, 2025 – I was contacted again and told that no issues were found, and the braking noise was again dismissed as “normal.” However, I have since received a loaner Genesis GV70 (white in color), which does not exhibit the same noise when backing down the same driveway, proving that the issue is not characteristic of all GV70s.
