Had my 3.5v6 top spec GV70 since August 2021; came from BMW’s and Audi’s and it’s another class above; absolutely love it. Stuff I don’t like if I’m being fussy. The door panel sits very low and catches easily on grass verges so you have to be careful. The fuel economy is not great. Rear legroom isn’t brilliant for four adults on long trips. Wait times for Genesis service isn’t good; they use Hyundai dealers and the support could be improved. Other than that it’s amazing. Nb I was one of the first five owners of this car in Australia and it still gets lots of attention!!

A Q3 is $61-75K. I think you meant to compare it to a Q5 45 TFSI which is $100K.

it should be compared to SQ5 , not Q5 as both are performance SUVs. The Q5 45 TFSI is only 4 cyl turbo with significantly less power.

Don’t understand your dislike of the 3D feature on the instrument cluster. I have had my GV 70 for a year and really like the 3D. Each time I turn it off to compare it to the 2D I turn it back on almost immediately. Much prefer it.

I own a new G70 and I found out something about it yesterday. The owners manual recommends an oil and filter change every 3,000 miles. The 3.3 Engine requires 7.6 quarts of oil. The oil change cost me $180 at Jiffy Lube.

Love the GV70, was going to buy it 2 years ago but went with Stinger as $100k was just too much for me. The GV70 is same though what a Stinger is vs German grand touring cars that cost double. eg Audi S5. Unbeatable value for money in terms of luxury and performance, nothing comes close. Shame they stopped selling them.

I recently purchased a 3.5T sport. It’s a great car, asked for $4k off on a car that has been on the lot a while (white/blue). Lots of great things about it. Here’s what I don’t like, in no particular order. 1) the front collision avoidance is an absolute joke. Feels like false advertising and I am about to engage Genesis on this matter. 2) Yes, the two knobs are too close to each other (just as all the reviewers have stated). 3) the finger print feature is worthless. Fails to confirm me (virtually) ever, to the point where it locks up and you prompt you to enter in your pass code. It’s a time waster if you just want to get in your car and go, and it’s just annoying. Either the feature works, or it doesn’t’. If it doesn’t, get rid of it. 4) Not sure if this is only on my car, but the power steering makes this annoying humming noise when engaged. About to go in the shop for this issue. 5) No wireless CarPlay. My salesman at the dealership told me the software update will take care of this, but upon reading the release notes, not such luck. Please someone confirm /tell me I am wrong. 6) The heating /cooling controls are not well-designed. e.g. say you want to put it on cool, level 1. Here is what you have to do. Hit the cool button once, then hit the hot button twice, and voila you have cool, level 1. Very odd. 7) the seats, while it has a cool feature that keeps you awake, are not the most comfortable for longer (2+ hour hauls). If I were to get another one, I would get the Advanced package.

There will be a refresh next year with the new infotainment and that will come with both system wireless by default… so since they are abandoning the current system no interest in updating it

I’m all for the Genesis marque, but the interior styling of the GV70 is possibly worst in class…. No matter how “bespoke” the design department claims it to be. The earlier Genesis designs in my opinion, where an ideal adaptation of European styling… and we all know the Europeans do styling the best.
