2025 Genesis GV70 Consumer Reviews

Can’t get connected to Connected Services
SUV is fun to drive but Hyundai has been unable to get the GV 70 to connect to its services. I paid 70k for a vehicle they can’t seem to fix. It has been 5 weeks since I reported the problem and all I get is we need an engineer to solve it. Worst car buying experience I ever had. This is the sixth Hyundai vehicle I’ve purchased will be the last.
looks cool, drives cool, not very functional cool
We (wife and I) bought the GV70 about 6 months ago. Drove it from FL to Michigan and back. We love the styling of the exterior and interior of the car. Very sharp car. The car handles fantastic. Great ride. However, we think the technology is way over the top and pretty complicated overall. The transmission dial (PNRD) is directly below the same sized dial for managing the various aspects of the car on the center console. We have, on multiple occasions, turned the wrong dial. The paddles for shifting manually, mounted behind the steering wheel, on each side, have been accidentally touched multiple times and this is very annoying. The voice activated navigation system isn’t nearly as efficient and accurate as my GMC Acadia Denali. It can take up to a minute for it to locate my command location, ie 1234 XYZ street City State. And often times it simply doesn’t work. If you are not technology inclined and like the basic buttons and dials for managing temperature comfort, and radio not sure I can recommend the GV70. I would strongly recommend that you do an in-depth test drive before the purchase.

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.

Excellent Car
Six month update: After six months the car is still working great. For a short duration of time we had squeeky brakes while backing up but that seems to have worked itself out. No maintenance issues to speak of and everything is operating as expected. It's been a great experience. I've had a number of people that have stopped me to talk about the car and all of them mentioned how attractive the vehicle is - and I agree. I stand by my previous review of it being a five star car, it's quite, confident, great in all weather conditions and massages me while driving - what more can you ask for. I've owned the 2025, GV70, 2.5 for ~90 days and it's been a great vehicle to own. Cons: At times the tech can be a bit glitchy but it always works in the end. Pros: The vehicle has traffic aware cruise control with lane centering, which means it's kind of driving itself, while it's giving me a massage and playing my favorite music while being isolated from road noise - amazing. Oh, and the car is a work of art both inside and out.

Lexus to Genesis
After 25 years of being Lexus owner I decided to try something else. Love the Genesis so far and can’t believe the ride is better, quieter and lots more options. The only negative so far is lacking in storage for the front seat. The technology has a learning curve but I think will be attainable. I haven’t taken a long trip yet but so far I am happy with my decision.
