Overall an excellent SUV

No car is perfect and although this car hits most of the marks. The luxury design, tech, and feel help to make up for the crappy gas mileage. Not a family car, but great for 4 people. My 21' Prestige has 43k miles as I write this, runs well, and has it's quirks. On my 2nd set of tires, 3rd set of front brake pads, and 2nd set of rear shocks, but I frequently tow a small trailer.

GV80 22inch wheels

Love the car but mine came with 22 inch wheels and a blow up system instead of run flats or a spare. As I have found out, the 22 inch wheels blow much easier than smaller ones and the blow up system does not work. This leaves you with a 70k car with no spare or option other than to be towed. I have contacted genesis about this and they are not really helpful at all. This is very dangerous. If I knew I would need to buy a tire and put it in my trunk I would have paid much less money for the GV70.

Long term rental review

Initially, I was super excited to get this as a rental as I’ve been driving, electric and hydrogen for the last couple years and wanted to go back to an SUV for my grandkids. So after my accident, they gave me a 2.5 T all wheel drive as a rental and I thought, OK this is great because I love the Hyundai brand and so maybe I will buy one of these. Positive things… The car is super comfortable! And it’s great for carrying stuff around and for loading kids in the car. The bad? The four-cylinder turbo in this car is absolutely horrible. The grown, the noisy acceleration, and. Feels super underpowered. After a few days, I realized oh my God this is the same engine that I had in my Santa Fe calligraphy that I had a couple years back. So why would you spend the extra $15-$20,000 to get the same leather, same engine etc? The navigation system is horrible, and the voice recognition is beyond worthless. My biggest issue was the safety systems which are so overly sensitive that twice. It has put me in a dangerous situation where I was trying to accelerate into traffic and the safety systems misread something that was going on, and actually just stopped me dead in my tracks as I was pulling into traffic and almost caused me twice to get hit! Definitely not worth the extra money.

Don’t buy into online hype of value for money

We bought 2.5T with prestige package and were told that tech features and safety features are same across the board. This is all a lie. Genesis is cutting corners with their newer builds. They removed HDA 2 and downgraded to HDA 1 in newer models. The reason why people buy newer models is because they are superior in tech but no, not with genesis. Genesis cars are going downhill. 2.5T doesn’t have several features with prestige package. This includes soft close with doors. Power rear features are missing and what the cheapness doesn’t stop there. They remove spare tire to save Pennie’s over dollars. Nice way to deal with chip shortage. Terrible dealership service. Dealers don’t have a clue about car features and can’t articulate them. Service warranty that hides several iffs and else. When you pay 70k for a car you don’t expect a Subaru. But, wait. Subaru are much better cars than cheap Genesis. Don’t buy into hype. Stay away.

Classy looking head turner

I purchased a GV80 2.5t prestige. This is the 4th SUV I have owned over the last 14 years and by far the best purchase I have made. All my previous purchases were high end as well and this is the only one I keep getting stopped by strangers to ask about it and compliment it consistently. I was looking forward to getting a Genesis for a while now due to a great reputation but when I saw the 2023 myself and my wife said that is the one for us by far. This is the first 4 cylinder SUV and I was very impressed at the power delivered. The interior is exquisite and although I purchased the highest end trim I noticed even the base models come with more standard features than competing vehicles. It has all the bells and whistles and rides great. The safety alerts and the 3D image on the windshield giving you driving speed (besides standard location) are phenomenal. I am not the most tech savvy person, but once I got past the learning curve I was amazed at all the useful features it has and I still haven’t used everyone yet. It amazes me that I am able to have my SUV back out of a parking spot without me even being in the car. Hey, I am not going to bore you with every detail I suggest if you are looking for a luxury SUV take a look at this before deciding. Tremendous amount of features for the price versus competition. Genesis has been super customer friendly and it is a pleasure to deal with everyone. The service provided is huge. They truly want to keep their customers happy. It is good these days to see there is still some work ethics. Good luck with your next vehicle.
