The 2024 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige Is Strikingly Posh Compact Luxury SUV

The #GenesisGV70 has only been around for a couple years, but the compact luxury #GV70 has already become the best-selling model in the #Genesis lineup. With its RWD based platform, this twin-turbo #GV70SportPrestige is the pinnacle of the lineup and has a design that screams something more akin to a European luxury brand.

[@Rickster1965]

Congrats!! Looking at this too. Will be replacing a 2006 MDX that has been bullet proof at 230k. It’s my road trip car. A little nervous about GV70 reliability, thoughts on this?? I like to keep my cars forever.

[@perryservius4509]

@@Rickster1965 I was a little nervous about the reliability but a colleague of mine bought a 2022 GV70 3.5T and doesn't have any problems with it until now. Everything is perfect but be cautious about it's fuel efficiency. This car is quite thirsty and the second row can be narrow depending on the passengers (under six feet will be no problem). I almost bought the NX 350 which is a great car but to me, the GV70 is superior in almost every aspect (design, interior, power and space).

I have a 2022 GV70 in red with red interior. I love this car! A great combination of luxury and sport. Does anyone else have dealer problems? My dealer service has great people and work hard when there is a problem, but wait times for an appointment are very disappointing. The first maintenance I had to wait a month for an appointment. The second I had to wait 5 weeks! Not exactly the service that Genesis promotes when you buy one! In contrast, I can take my Toyota in for maintenance without an apointment and get it back in a couple of hours! Love this channel. They are my favorite car reviews!

[@hugdeath929]

I dont mind the drive and infotainment controllers being stacked. She sizes are slightly different and the texture is different on both. They 100% need to have wireless CarPlay. At this price point the car should have a video rear view camera. The Telluride has it. I think it’s safer to use the controller versus reaching ahead and looking at your hand placement on the screen to use the touchscreen. The rear seat legroom is too tight IMO. I’d be fine taking 4-5” from the hatch and giving them to the passengers. If BMW can do a performance powertrain with really good fuel economy Hyundai/Kia should be able to do it too. IMO the GV70 interior blows away the interiors of the X3, Q5, RX & Macan. I’d definitely like to see a hybrid, more rear seat legroom, video mirror, wireless CarPlay, another 1-1.3 faster 0-60 time, more customizable driver setup and a better stereo. I liked the 2020 Stinger sound system better than the current GV70 system.

[@niuhuskieguy]

I think the position of the shifter and infotainment controller need to be switche just based off how often you may use the infotainment controller

[@suppaman19]

I own one and trust me the placement of the switches is correct.

*the sizes…

[@suppaman19]

To many people in the comments don't have the money to be in this class (unless it's 10 year used model down the road) and clearly haven't driven any (let alone all) of this segment. You want to be as close to a car in driving dynamics? Get a Macan S. M340 is next closest but drives worse and rides worse than the Macan (and honestly rides worse than all its comp). You want comfort and luxury, get a specced out GV70. SQ5 is a distant second. GLC is in a weird spot between the two and I despise MB interiors right now which feel and look cheap. Everything else in this class is significantly worse than all those. Id argue there's zero point in trying to have a sports CUV/SUV, so just get the GV70 which the 3.5 has more than enough and just have a sports car on the side. You want a sporty family vehicle? Then get a sports sedan or shooting brake.

The best Asian luxury cuv. If you care about mpg then you shouldn’t be shopping for a luxury car You don’t see people in hellcats or SRTs or m5s or maybachs whining about mpg. Why? Exactly… it doesn’t matter

[@vinyfiny]

Hellcats and M5's are super powerful muscle cars, good gas mileage isn't an option😂. And a Maybach is for someone in a COMPLETELY different tax bracket. People buying a luxury SUV in the $45k-$80k range definitely care about fuel economy. If they didn't hybrids wouldn't be selling like hotcakes.

@@vinyfiny right… that’s why there are no x3m40i glc43 glc 63 X5M60i GLE 53 that gets 36-40mpg… why? Because it doesn’t matter If you want the ultimate luxury of mpg there’s a Prius or Camry hybrid with your name on it

[@naveenthemachine]

@@vinyfiny plus if you follow Alex on autos he owns a Durango SRT. You don’t see him whining about the fact that it only gets 14mpg. If it mattered so much he would have gotten something else more efficient

[@vinyfiny]

@@naveenthemachine I'm not sure what any of that has to do with what I said? Just because SUV's exist that don't get good gas mileage doesn't mean people don't want good gas mileage😂. For one all the SUV's you mentioned other than the X3 cost substantially more than a GV70 (The X3 M is a better match to those other options, which again costs more). They're also purpose made performance variants of much tamer SUV's, and I'm pretty sure they have much lower sales figures vs the less powerful trim levels. Funny enough even though they're all much faster than the GV70 they actually have similar or better fuel economy which makes the GV70 fuel economy numbers look even worse. There's a market for people that want the best track times and that market generally doesn't overlap with the people that want good mpg's, but the market of people that want good mpg's is SUBSTANTIALLY larger. Despite what you might think most people buy the trim level with the reasonable engine, not the Hellcat or SRT or AMG or M etc etc. Very few people are going to be cross-shopping a GV70 with a BMW or Merc that does sub 4 second 0-60 runs and costs $20k-$40k more money. They're going to be cross shopping with other more reasonable SUV's that almost certainly get better fuel economy. I'm not saying the mpg on the GV70 is a dealbreaker, I'm just saying people do care about it and it's pretty mediocre compared to the competition.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@vinyfiny but in many cases the fuel economy comes at too much of a cost. Is it worth it?
