Genesis GV70 Face-Off: Silence vs. Symphony - Which Ride Rocks Your World?

[@Vamanos46]

Genesis has a 13 month lease this month for the ELECTRIFIED models (not just the gv60). Per Genesis website, Advanced trim of the gv70 Ev as 499/ month, 3999 down for 10k miles. 😮 ... UPDATE: I got 9500 cash back ("EV Lease Bonus") for the 13 months gv70 lease, now there is a 17500 cash back for the 36 month gv70 lease, cutting down another 100 LESS monthly compared to what I got. The Gv60 advanced is 469, gv60 Rwd is 379 (same 3999 down) but only max 11000 EV Lease Bonus from Genesis.

That's very interesting.

Cheers! We’re here to serve.

I'm sad that Genesis dropped their stunning Cardiff Green 😢

[@JHAWKZ12]

I was lucky enough to grab a 2.5T in Cardiff Green! Stunning in person and in 16 months of ownership I have never seen another like it on the road. My resale value increased with the cancellation of the Cardiff.

Nice comparison. I bought a 2022 GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige before the EV model came out, but I would not have bought the EV had it been available. EV's are the future, but every EV will have a far superior model in the very near future, including way better mileage. I love my 3.5 Sport Prestige, EV's have early adapters issues, batteries tech is changing constantly.........

[@Jorge_Magallon]

Very cool comparison.

[@BrianMakse]

Glad you enjoyed it

Interesting reviews of this SUV. My wife saw one driving around Boca Raton and fell in love with it (and she's not a car person in any way). Sweet spot for us would be the 2.5T with a black interior (I have an ES 350 with cream colored seats that isn't going anywhere).

[@BrianMakse]

That would be an excellent choice. Still plenty of power and torque with that engine.

[@davidwan247]

I have had both. The electric GV70 is way quieter, rides better, heats up much faster in the winter, and of course accelerates much quicker.

[@timw2083]

That 3.5TT is still one of the best looking SUVs on the road. If I get one, that will be high on my list. I have a GR Corolla due in 3 weeks, time to get that #SaveTheManuals shirt

[@BrianMakse]

The 3.5T is so good. As for your GR Corolla, you’re gonna love it! Shirts are available here and FYI there’s also a more premium version on our race team store at styledaesthetic.com/products/thaze-competition-save-the-manuals with our race team brand on the back, so you have some choices!

I'm never buying an electrification vehicle...

[@FSX239]

And that's fine. I on the other hand love my EV. It adds balance to my other daily drivers a BMW 328, a MINI Cooper S and my team race cars. Different strokes for different folks.

[@VitoC.]

@@FSX239 "balance" is something not all people have. Enjoy.

[@genzigzag]

I don't like the idea of Federal governments and unelected world bodies are legislating the manufacturers into producing EV's. Bad idea, let the market decide what it wants.

[@FSX239]

@@VitoC. I have a Tesla Model 3 Long Range. To be completely honest it is the best "runabout" I've ever owned. It's always full because it changes while I'm home also it's very nimble & quick. For those that own a home I can't recommend an EV enough for local commutes up to 100 miles each way. However I would shy away from an EV for long haul travels due to charging times. Even with me using Tesla's amazing supercharger network which has never let me down from New Hampshire to North Carolina drives the 30 to 45 minute stops to charge every 320 miles can get annoying. The only but I have to admit is those stops do force me to relax and take some recovery time between stints of driving. So basically every 4 to 5 hours of driving I am forced to take a 30 - 45 minute rest. I don't always feel the need for that break and it adds to the overall trip time but there ya go.
