Very much appreciate the comprehensive long term review.... Being a sub brand of Hyundai, Genesis is doing everything right that European and especially Japanese luxury brands have forgotten..... Putting customer's interest firsts. Physical buttons, complimentary service, long term warranty and value for money.... They all contribute towards a memorable motoring experience.
@@Mrwaffleandmilk you can say the same thing for infinti, lexus. Paying $60K+ for a nissan/toyota? Btw you realize that Lexus failed miserably in European markets right?
Hyundai/Genesis is what Lexus/Toyota was back when Lexus started. The luxury value play. And Hyundais are getting up there now in terms of reliability. Basically Toyota’s playbook.
I’ve had a 2022 3.5 fully loaded in matte gray for almost two years without any issues (though I only have about 6,500 miles). The matte paint care has been much easier than I anticipated. Also, there was a large box in the back of Dr Beasley’s matte care products.
Buying one today and watched this to get info on which warranties may be relevant. Probably going to get the tire/wheels package as I live in Chicago and drive through Michigan a ton to be safe, otherwise I believe they even upped the warranty length/miles that come standard since this video was released. Very excited and thrilled to hear it passed your tests, one of the reasons I decided on this instead of another luxury model was the 10/10 you gave it 3 years in a row!
@@was75872 is not the best if you want more punch go for the 3.5T. But at the same time it has enough power to merge you on to the free way and I read somewhere 0-60 is like 5.9 secs . That ain’t bad for an SUV.

Great job on covering the GV70. I believe Genesis is better off being a perceived 2nd best image car company . Bang for the buck is king in my world they are pushing all the right buttons and offering a unique line up and i find myself doing a double take on there styling. 😊
So i just received my genesis gv70 3.5 v6 have had it for 3 weeks and i absolutely love it i gave it to my uncle to try for a week and he just came back home with a certified 2022 😂 that’s how much he liked mine
My wife has a GV70 and I think I like it more than she does. I am thinking about getting the electrified GV70 and lowering it to get a shooting brake kind of look.
@@poopsmcgee2k6 I test drove the Electrified GV70 and let me tell you it blows the ICE GV70 out of the water when it comes to ride. It rides better than any SUV on the market even the GV80, GLE, Q7, X5... Don't believe me? Go test drive it!
at this price range for such a luxury Vehicle. the clear coat wheels issue is very unacceptable. if this was me. getting myself into debt due to buying this Vehicle. and someone tells me that chemicals during washing the Vehicle are the cause. they still have to fix that. Am I supposed to not wash my car? just because they decided to use cheap paint instead of heavy-duty paint? thank you for this review ... this is a kind useful review. anything new looks good also the chrome trim that been a problem in the previous Genesis. the dark copper color is as good as it looks but it won't last and most people get it fixed under warranty. which is kind of annoying. simple cosmetic trim like that can't handle the elements !! again at the price you pay, that shouldn't be happening.
We purchased one for my wife. A 23 Sport prestige 3.5. Same color in Alta White. It's fantastic. We had to do the LSD actuator recall, but the really the only probably with the car is lack of wireless carplay.
@@timw2083 Great man! No issues and we flog the car. Its fun to hoon in, handles well for its weight. If you buy it new, as we did, they come pick the car up/drop off a loaner, fix it and then return. Took them 1 day to replace the actuator. You can drive the car before replacement you just get the warming of "Check limited slip differential". They will come grab the car if you are within a radius of 25 miles. I'd recommend the 3.5 Sport prestige for sure. His comments regarding the chrome/wheels are true. Make sure you don't take the car through any auto-washes, we only hand wash and use good chemicals that aren't acidic. Any other questions feel free to ask! I also did our first oil change, we have clocked about 11k on it since November.
Infiniti’s FX45 was a show-stopper when it came out in 2003. Infiniti has lost that “pizzaz” in recent years. Just got rid (yes, that is the right word) of my 2023 QX55 and my Genesis GV70 arrives in 2 days. Hope Genesis does not fall into the Infiniti trap by failing to innovate and thinking they know better than there customers regarding tech integration and design.
I'll admit i had mixed feelings on the GV 70's styling inside and out when it first debuted, but now it's grown on me. Gotta say that interior is actually nice, almost alfa romeo-esque in it's style there. I'd happily rank this alongside the BMW x3 and Mercedes GLC as good midsize luxury SUVs for professionals.
Thx L! My 2020 stinger "black chrome" trim at the top of the greenhouse has oxidized and I will be bringing it up at my next service... Really just plastic covered bright work...and the margins at the sunroof have oxidized just like our 17 Optima sxl. Nice suv!
Great video, the car seems like great value for what it is. I still don't understand not having wireless carplay though when the Hyundai Venue has it in its mid trim lol.
On their smaller 7 and 8 inch older tech screens yes. On their new 12inch screens not currently. They are developing a OTA update to be applied "by 2024" according to Hyundai.
The rumor I heard is AA/Carplay requires the physical navigation button to go to carplay navigation when connected. Hyundai refuses to do this so they only put in wireless on models without navigation available. Is it true? no idea but it makes more sense than them literally not caring to do it.
The trim and clearcoat on the wheels issue is more than enough to keep this out of my next SUV choices. I will just buy a Lexus I guess although I think it is gorgeous. The fact that it slowed down as the miles rolled up is not a good sign either.
I feel the same way. The tech in the GV70 could win me over but just the driving dynamics of the Stelvio alone makes it competitive, can’t go wrong with either one. Both exteriors are attractive also.
@@sunnysaenngarm5375 True the tech in the GV70 is incredible so is the driving dynamic. Keep in mind Genesis is extremely reliable. It’s also a well known fact the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is unreliable with lots of issues that will have you missing that driving dynamic as repairs are made at absorbent cost 💲
I purchased CrossClimate 2’s on my 2014 Audi Q5. I will NEVER use anything less EVER again. They were perfect for any weather conditions I encountered along the East coast!!! Highly recommended
I’m pretty confident that Genesis would cover the trim and wheel repair under warranty. I had some roof trim replaced and broken door handle and a drivers side power mirror replaced on my Stinger under warranty with zero problems from the dealer.
The GV70 is pretty great, but the service of the brand can be terrible. The Santa Monica dealership is the worst experience I have ever had with any brand in the last 20 years. They NEVER call you back reliably (I have always had to call multiple times to even just get an appointment), they NEVER confirm you will get a loaner ahead of the time, and the service valet is wrongly advertised by Genesis: The Genesis website says something like 'pick up your car wherever', but the fine print from the dealer limits this. The dealer and Genesis North America have different overlapping maintenance schedules that make you call them to ask 'ok, another maintenance alarm, do I NOW have to come)?' and any complaints about the dealership, Genesis North America brushes off with 'those are all franchises, we can't do anything'. So yes, the car is nice, the interior is great, but if you ever need ANYTHING from the dealership or the company, you may be out of luck. I will sell mine before the warranty is up, I'm sick and tired of dealing with an incompetent team.
Ive been through BMW (1 year) , MINI (3 Years) LEXUS (10 years), currently on Mercedes (2 years) and I recently had the G80 for a rental and was completely blown away. Im in the process of selling my Mercedes and buying the Genesis. I just dont know which model yet!!!!! lol. G80 GV70 or GV80. My Mercedes has been the worst experience ive had with a luxury vehicle company. In CA if you buy Mercedes dont buy from the company itself buy from a private mercedes dealership. BMW is way more fun to drive but lacks that luxury comfort. IMO. Lexus was the best for me so far in terms of reliability and comfort. Mini (subjectively not luxury but owned by BMW) was the most durable. I drove that thing threw the snow, up mountains, and put 80K miles on it in a year and aside from some plastic parts wearing down the car never had any major issues. Im very excited to finally get the genesis!!!
I have the same exact car but in Saville silver. Just about to hit 20,000 miles and still love it. I have the cosmetic window trim blemishes, but only on the driver side. Would these be covered under warranty? I’ve read conflicting opinions online. I plan on bringing it up with my local dealer, but curious if others have dealt with the issue already.
That should be covered for a luxury brand. I've had items like that fixed by Cadillac no questions asked. Bumper to bumper means that, it's all covered. The trim isn't a wear item.
@@cormaro13 My G80 has had the same problem since I bought it new in 2019. It's never seen an automatic car wash. I only hand wash with a Ph balanced soap. So it's not just automatic car washes. This is truly something that is on the manufacturer. But I am still very impressed with my Genesis, so I haven't had to complain about this at all.
Pretty impressive you had the vehicle 14 whole months and it didn't fall apart. Way to go Hyundai, that alone makes it worth $65,000 right? Yes it looks good but so do many Dodge / Chrysler products. What condition will it be in @ 5 yrs 50k when the warranty is gone? At that point hopefully it will be paid off and you can recoup $15k when you sell it. So only $50k spent in 5 yrs. Seems reasonable for a Hyundai right?
But will a Dodge product net you maintenance as low as a Hyundai? Nah, you'll be spending much of your ownership with that junk American product in the shop.
To many car washes....Seriously. i would be one pissed off customer and taking that to the highest level to get those wheels replaced n trim fixed. Not very luxury at all. I wish you guys/gals pushed to see if thats cover under their warranty and not considered regular wear n tear. .thanks for the review it was good.
Yea i would laugh in your face too cause if you didn't care about the car enough to stop going thru the automatic car wash what makes u think they're just going to replace it so u can complain about it again 😂
Ours is currently in the shop for the second time within a year. Limited slip differential, very common problem. The dealer wanted us to drive it to the dealership, which is 35 minutes away from us. No guarantee that a tire won’t lock up. Yeah… wouldn’t recommend one of these. Go with a better established brand, come back to Genesis in 5-10 years.
The issues with my 2022 G70 have been minor in comparison to yours but due to the shady & unreliable local Hyundai/Genesis service center and subsequently being ghosted by their consumer affairs department, im never owning one again
@@MDKN22 No, it's a Genesis problem. Look up Genesis GV70 limited slip differential, you will see tons and tons of people that have problems with this. 10 months later and this problem has occurred two more times despite them replacing the entire LSD.
This is standard Hyundai protocol to blane car washes for every problem that can be attributed to wash. My Santa Fe calligraphy brakes make noises and are wobbly. Service advisor says this is because of automatic car wash. Does something random and problem comes back after a couple of months. Companies like Hyundai can never become greatest because service is so pathetic and incompetent. Product gets them far enough but that sinking service can't be fixed easily.
Don’t like white on ANY vehicle, but it’s such a good looking car. I’m turned off by the price and the lackluster gas mileage….and maybe the overdone exhaust pipes. Otherwise the Korean 3 are kicking butt!
Ione one the interior is awesome The dials That is such a problem for everybody You get used to in about 20 minutes You people don't want to buy the car that's up to you you're missing out on a pretty d*** awesome car
Sorry for the typo It just annoys me that people come on these reviews and trash a car that they say they never want to buy It's a free country brother you don't want to buy it don't I think Genesis being a car company that's only 8 years old Are making amazing cars So what's your loss
Hyundai has created a separate segment for budget luxury. However, their resale value sucks, so people always buy used. Turbo engines have 100 other maintenance problems compared to naturally aspirated IC engines, so no turbo of any kind for me. Stick to basics, and you'll save in the long run.
This is a trend I'm noticing with turbocharged cars. Typically you get quicker as the drivetrain break-ins and efficiency improves. A few years ago their longterm F150 Raptor also got slower, and they definitely made an issue of it then. I wonder what a new set of spark plugs would do.
Genesis all these years still hasn't fixed the cheap trim that many complain about. Wheels peeling paint? Heck not even this happens in a second tier japanese manufacturer like Mazda. Korean cars look great but the long term reliability is low. Look at all the Kia and Hyundai engine problems. They need to fix this crap fast.
@MDKN22 lol that is just username. Mine is 2017 f36. Most reliable of the BMW and still compared to a Japanese car, they are unreliable. I am not oblivious to BMW reliability, but I won't blindly defend a brand. If you think Genesis is better reliability and don't have trim and engine problems you go right ahead.
Then don't buy the car why you idiots on a Genesis forum if you're not interested in buying the car I think you morons just come on here just to trash the car company What did Genesis said to do to you
It's much better to spend over a $100000 On German junk Right But by what you want to buy you're obviously a stupid person so do what you want So I will drive my Genesis But I promise to wave at you When I drive by the repair shop And you have your German junk being repaired Spending over a $140000 from S class is insane it's garbage it always was garbage and it will always be garbage
I was formerly a BMW guy...test drove the Genesis GV70 (4 cyl) and was BLOWN AWAY at how how composed the ride was. 300hp is more than enough for me and I'd argue most ppl. This will probably be my next ride... Excellent review
Love the GV70 - I just do. As a PRO detailer I can tell you one thing - they were right about the trim at Genesis. Those automatic carwashes can totally destroy chrome trim wheels and much more. If you have such car - get it protected (like with Nano graphene coatings from Artdeshine) by really good detailer and just maintain it properly. It will keep looking stunning for years to come!
I have a gv 70 3.5t with the dark metal trim and it started to get a haze layer over it after hand washes and clay wax, I thought it was just residue, but turns out it was a known issue with genesis and the dealer replaced it all. The problem was with the metal trim’s plastic protector adhesive from the factory and when it sat in sunlight and loading lots in Los Angeles, they only remove the protective film at the dealers, and there wouldn’t be any immediate visual issues or residue until months later. They offer a two step process at the dealer here in la, they attempt to clean it with a spray that removes alittle of the residue but it also could remove the dark metal color, after that cleaning is not satisfactory, they order replacement trim and change it all out and it looks brand new again. It’s been 4 months since I got the metal door trim replaced and it’s looking great.
My wife has this exact car color and all and I use adams polish products for everything and ours never went into a auto wash and been graphene coated from day one and our trim faded bad and had to be replaced. Other then that it's been flawless love the car.
I had a 96 Chevy Tahoe 4-door and had the same problems with the chrome trim on the wheel wells. Chevrolet replaced them all (the car wash killed the chrome). You'd think that the factories would have this issue under control by now!
Clear coat has been an issue across the entire Hyundai / Genesis line. Our 2020 Palisade shed clearcoat on the wheels horribly. They replaced our wheels under warranty but heard others that were denied. Our 2022 Calligraphy is no better and our friends GV80 is experiencing the same issues.
From above : "As a PRO detailer I can tell you one thing - they were right about the trim at Genesis. Those automatic carwashes can totally destroy chrome trim wheels and much more" aka clear coat, wheels :-). Manual wash only or carwash and or power sprayer?
First part of week in October 14, 2021 we went to get my wife’s 2020 Palisade Limited service and on October 14th she drove away with a pearl white Sport Prestige 2.5t with red interior. She bought it when there weren’t many. It still gets lot of looks and she loves it to this day. Never heard her say a thing she doesn’t love about it and that is odd for her. It is a great vehicle and great looking. Thanks for the video.
This review was very helpful to me. I have a 2010 Mercedes ML350 that I love, but time is catching up with it and I'm doing research for its replacement. I'm disappointed by so many manufacturers and their "sticking to the what we've always done" attitude towards factory warranties. These vehicles aren't cheap to work on and getting the most warranty possible is a big deal to me. Both of my children drive Hyundais so I looked at the Genesis lineup and the GV70 is looking like it could be my next car.
@@ericbinder2165 A small country is dominating China in the shipbuilding industry. The population of China is 28 times that of Korea. Samsung Electronics earns more than the profits of 10 Japanese electronics companies. They compete with Apple for smartphones and with Taiwan's TSMC to make other miscellaneous home appliances. High-definition TV panels can only be made by Korean electronics. There are three battery companies in Korea, and their technology is the world's top 3dl. The battery company and Hyundai Kia Motors are leading electric vehicles. It competes with Tesla. The technological completeness of electric vehicles is incomparable to that of Chinese European automakers. It will compete with Tesla, but it will be a tight match in the next 5 years. Hyundai Kia Motors is twice Toyota's operating profit ratio and is the third-largest in the world in sales. Industry experts predict that the odds will exceed Volkswagen and Toyota in three years. Although they drive thousands of cars a year by profession, Hyundai-Kia has superior price-to-ground performance compared to Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Ford. Believe it or not, in ten years, half the streets will be filled with modern Kia cars. Except for the United States, Korea is the only country where pop music and movies from other countries are popular. Open your eyes wide and watch the world change. I would like to inform you that Korea will also rank among the top 5 weapons industries in the world next year.
@@daniel0223-i8s😂😂😂😂😂 oh God my Korean lover he is already putting to compete Kia with Volkswagen and of course Toyota 😂😂 WoooW imma keep my eyes wide open!! I promise!!
@ericbinder2165 Here's some food for thought. What is the average lifespan of a car in your driveway? Notice I said your driveway. The average American "buys" a new car (often leases) every 3 to 5 years. Yep, you heard correctly. Three to five years. That's it. The fairytale concept that a car should last you 20 years and 250,000 miles is really a decades old argument. I mean we're talking 90s when it was extremely important to buy a reliable car. It's difficult to find a bad modern car. Sure people still get stuck with a lemon here n there. But you have the lemon law, and you have manufacturer warranties for non critical issues. Heck, I had to take in my 2018 BMW after 300 miles for an alignment. And a rattling exhaust at 1000 miles. Warranty is a beautiful thing. And also, yes. I do see old hyundais and kias where I live. Just not as many as old Hondas and toyotas because guess what, hyundai wasn't selling quite as much back then. It's just simple math.
@@estuardogutierrez9041New hyundais and kias are above your class now buddy. while ppl like you were too busy mocking them, they've moved on. now, they don't market to you. they market more towards the $50,000+ category. Stick with your preowned corolla.
I would go to a Hyundai dealer. I have decided not to buy a Genesis because the Hyundai dealer where I intend to move to won't touch Genesis cars due to problems with the parent company. Going to a local Hyundai dealer is better than having no local support at all.
@@isamu982 Most people that buy luxury expect to be pampered and get great service. If you think one buys luxury and is ok getting shitty service at Hyundai dealer, you are not being real.
What is it with you people and the dealers Genesis as a car company is only 8 years old How many dealerships did Mercedes Benz and BMW have after only 8 years I think for only being 8 years old that car company is amazing
I own a BMW and just hate to go to any dealer whatsoever. You just drop off your car and wait. What else you expect? Well, German dealers have nicer couches. That's all.
I learned recently that Hyundai / Genesis white paint colors use an additional coat versus non white colors which is why they cost more. Owning an Atlas White Ioniq 5 I do think it is a nice, “bright” white.
I can tell you now. Those Genesis wont hold up very long. Consumer Reports buys all those cars and suvs and tests them around the clock. And they tested both of these Genesis suvs and they didn’t do well. Just like this one didn’t do well in just 40k miles. CR tests their vehicles for 100k and beyond and has plenty of data to back up the real world year after year testings. So there you have it folks. The Lexus, Toyota and BMW products are far superior overall and in the long run. Especially, the 2019 and up models.
I don't think most of the coments in this section are even real. Genesis spends astronomical amount of money on advertisment. It broke my heart when my friend bought a really expensive overpriced used telluride which ended up breaking down and the issue was not covered.
I chose the 2023 2.5T advanced trim in Cardiff green exterior / vanilla interior as the sweet spot in value last December ($52k). That trim had all of my must haves and most wants. 300hp is more than enough oomph and torque for my needs driving in city traffic (0-60 in around 5.6 seconds). I note the 2024 advanced trim will no longer come with ventilated front seats, lexicon sound system and remote park assist ! Only 5k miles so far but extremely happy owner. I agree not having wireless CarPlay seems strange for the model with all the rest of the tech implemented.
The rumor I heard is it's a requirement for AA/Carplay to default to its own navigation when clicking a navigation button. Hyundai refuses to do this so they only offer wireless carplay on models without navigation available. Not sure if true, but does seem to check out.
In only 40,000 miles that car lost FOUR TENTHS in it's 0 to 60 times?!?!?!? That is a massive loss of performance over such a short span and the way the narrator reported it was like it was no big deal. No additional explanation and seemingly zero curiosity of why a high dollar vehicle would fall so far and so fast in the acceleration department??? There is obviously a completely unacceptable issue going that's causing a huge performance loss and not even a blink. Engine power, transmission, torque converter, ECU, etc., yet glossed over as if it was "normal". Perhaps car videos should be created by people who at least have an entry level understanding of cars.
I don't buy the wheel excuse either. Dealerships always try to blame something else first to make you pay more for something that should be covered. I would have said, "well, I hand wash my cars all the time, so that's a lie. Nice try."
Great review. I don’t think the fade on the wheels and door trim is covered under warranty. At least that’s what Kia said about my 2020 Stinger. It looks like the same materials and I’ve seen may similar comments in some forums. Do you know for sure if those items are covered under the warranty because I’ve been considering getting one of these.
It's actually a tarnishing that happens, mainly on the dark chrome trim. And yes, they do replace it. But it probably just happens again! I have the dark chrome and haven't had any problems, but I also have ceramic coating...
It happened to my 2022 G70’s dark chrome window trim started at around 5k miles. I never took it through a car wash and always washed it carefully. Genesis replaced it under warranty. There’s a service bulletin for it.
@@hugdeath929 the not great part is that it took 7 months with countless screw-ups by the dealership. Other issues I’m having are still unresolved and corporate is ghosting me
Love my 2022 GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige (Uyuni white over red/charcoal), November will be two years and I would buy it again. it's garaged and I use Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic spray every 4 months, the trim gets graphene too and it looks brand new.
I found the six to be a beast that was pretty rough around the edges; harsher ride, too much for a daily driver. No judgement but had I gotten one it would have the four which was actually plenty fast.
Genesis is on their game. Well done.

You can drive the car before replacement you just get the warming of "Check limited slip differential". They will come grab the car if you are within a radius of 25 miles. I'd recommend the 3.5 Sport prestige for sure. His comments regarding the chrome/wheels are true. Make sure you don't take the car through any auto-washes, we only hand wash and use good chemicals that aren't acidic. Any other questions feel free to ask! I also did our first oil change, we have clocked about 11k on it since November.
Your genesis dispenses LSD? Psychedelic! 😂
This is the kind of impact Lexus had at its inception. Exciting to see the rise of Genesis.
Infiniti’s FX45 was a show-stopper when it came out in 2003. Infiniti has lost that “pizzaz” in recent years. Just got rid (yes, that is the right word) of my 2023 QX55 and my Genesis GV70 arrives in 2 days. Hope Genesis does not fall into the Infiniti trap by failing to innovate and thinking they know better than there customers regarding tech integration and design.
This car has gone up almost 5k since then! You looking at 68,870 now for this trim
I was going to say. No way you can touch one for $60 grand today unless it's used!. More like $70K
I'll admit i had mixed feelings on the GV 70's styling inside and out when it first debuted, but now it's grown on me. Gotta say that interior is actually nice, almost alfa romeo-esque in it's style there. I'd happily rank this alongside the BMW x3 and Mercedes GLC as good midsize luxury SUVs for professionals.
Man, prices are so high for vehicles. Great revue.
I absolutely love the GV70. I’ve never gotten so many compliments on a car like my GV70.
Thx L! My 2020 stinger "black chrome" trim at the top of the greenhouse has oxidized and I will be bringing it up at my next service... Really just plastic covered bright work...and the margins at the sunroof have oxidized just like our 17 Optima sxl. Nice suv!
I have a 2024 GV 70 select and I’m loving it hope I feel the same way after 40,000 miles
Could the 0-60 times being slower caused by 40,000 miles of tire tread wear
Great video, the car seems like great value for what it is.
I still don't understand not having wireless carplay though when the Hyundai Venue has it in its mid trim lol.
On their smaller 7 and 8 inch older tech screens yes. On their new 12inch screens not currently. They are developing a OTA update to be applied "by 2024" according to Hyundai.
The rumor I heard is AA/Carplay requires the physical navigation button to go to carplay navigation when connected. Hyundai refuses to do this so they only put in wireless on models without navigation available. Is it true? no idea but it makes more sense than them literally not caring to do it.
The trim and clearcoat on the wheels issue is more than enough to keep this out of my next SUV choices. I will just buy a Lexus I guess although I think it is gorgeous. The fact that it slowed down as the miles rolled up is not a good sign either.
Or they probably wasn’t using premium fuel
We have one. You can't take them through auto-washes. Have to use good soap.
The presenter should be introduced. I think he was an extra in The Savage Geese.
This is the only car I'd consider over an Alfa Romeo Stelvio, or a Volvo XC60
Choose wisely, Genesis is best by far.
I feel the same way. The tech in the GV70 could win me over but just the driving dynamics of the Stelvio alone makes it competitive, can’t go wrong with either one. Both exteriors are attractive also.
@@sunnysaenngarm5375 True the tech in the GV70 is incredible so is the driving dynamic. Keep in mind Genesis is extremely reliable. It’s also a well known fact the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is unreliable with lots of issues that will have you missing that driving dynamic as repairs are made at absorbent cost 💲
Great video!
You mentioned putting Michelin Crossclimate 2s on the vehicle. May I ask how those tires were on the GV70? Were you happy with them?
I purchased CrossClimate 2’s on my 2014 Audi Q5. I will NEVER use anything less EVER again. They were perfect for any weather conditions I encountered along the East coast!!! Highly recommended
I put them on a 18". Ride well and good for the winter as well.
Interesting - i have the g70, and have the same issue with the window trim and the wheels. They actually replaced my wheels under warranty.
I’m pretty confident that Genesis would cover the trim and wheel repair under warranty. I had some roof trim replaced and broken door handle and a drivers side power mirror replaced on my Stinger under warranty with zero problems from the dealer.
Yes, lots of people on the forums have the trim issue. Genesis will replace it.
Theres a difference between broken and fading. Fading would be considered normal wear and tear and I doubt it would be replaced under warranty
@@JGisMe2013 my roof trim is painted to match the body paint. The paint was cracking. New trim was painted and replaced under warranty on my Stinger.
@@Cgee3 thats rare! Consider yourself lucky
This is my dream carrrr 😮❤
The GV70 is pretty great, but the service of the brand can be terrible. The Santa Monica dealership is the worst experience I have ever had with any brand in the last 20 years. They NEVER call you back reliably (I have always had to call multiple times to even just get an appointment), they NEVER confirm you will get a loaner ahead of the time, and the service valet is wrongly advertised by Genesis: The Genesis website says something like 'pick up your car wherever', but the fine print from the dealer limits this. The dealer and Genesis North America have different overlapping maintenance schedules that make you call them to ask 'ok, another maintenance alarm, do I NOW have to come)?' and any complaints about the dealership, Genesis North America brushes off with 'those are all franchises, we can't do anything'. So yes, the car is nice, the interior is great, but if you ever need ANYTHING from the dealership or the company, you may be out of luck. I will sell mine before the warranty is up, I'm sick and tired of dealing with an incompetent team.
An annoyance the dial and wired car play🤔🤔
If that’s it, wow👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve got one ordered so that’s great to hear and I can put up with both👍🏻👍🏻
you get used to the dials very very quickly. i hope you enjoy your vehicle :)
Love Genesis inside out!!!
Ive been through BMW (1 year) , MINI (3 Years) LEXUS (10 years), currently on Mercedes (2 years) and I recently had the G80 for a rental and was completely blown away. Im in the process of selling my Mercedes and buying the Genesis. I just dont know which model yet!!!!! lol. G80 GV70 or GV80. My Mercedes has been the worst experience ive had with a luxury vehicle company. In CA if you buy Mercedes dont buy from the company itself buy from a private mercedes dealership. BMW is way more fun to drive but lacks that luxury comfort. IMO. Lexus was the best for me so far in terms of reliability and comfort. Mini (subjectively not luxury but owned by BMW) was the most durable. I drove that thing threw the snow, up mountains, and put 80K miles on it in a year and aside from some plastic parts wearing down the car never had any major issues. Im very excited to finally get the genesis!!!
When used in regular way the HQ products shouldn't show wear-tear within first min 2 years optimally 3.....
I have the same exact car but in Saville silver. Just about to hit 20,000 miles and still love it. I have the cosmetic window trim blemishes, but only on the driver side. Would these be covered under warranty? I’ve read conflicting opinions online. I plan on bringing it up with my local dealer, but curious if others have dealt with the issue already.
No that's not covered by the warranty, it's called stop going thru the automatic car washes and u won't get that lol
That should be covered for a luxury brand. I've had items like that fixed by Cadillac no questions asked. Bumper to bumper means that, it's all covered. The trim isn't a wear item.
@@cormaro13 My G80 has had the same problem since I bought it new in 2019. It's never seen an automatic car wash. I only hand wash with a Ph balanced soap. So it's not just automatic car washes. This is truly something that is on the manufacturer. But I am still very impressed with my Genesis, so I haven't had to complain about this at all.
Window trim was fading strangely on my car and Audi fixed it immediately. I would assume Genesis will do the same.
Is there a reliability or/and maintenance similarity between gv70 and the gv80
That textured finish on those wheels is a huge turn off!
Surprised they didn't have any issues with the rear differential. Seems to affect a lot of these cars.
No it doesn't, Google before comment. It did have a diff recall but not widespread.
@@gong9901 it's all over google and the forums.
Costed is not a word
I'm going to wait 2 years before I buy it
Let's see how that engine works out
Happy with my Lexus
I thinking of getting a used GV70.
Pretty impressive you had the vehicle 14 whole months and it didn't fall apart. Way to go Hyundai, that alone makes it worth $65,000 right?
Yes it looks good but so do many Dodge / Chrysler products. What condition will it be in @ 5 yrs 50k when the warranty is gone?
At that point hopefully it will be paid off and you can recoup $15k when you sell it. So only $50k spent in 5 yrs. Seems reasonable for a Hyundai right?
But will a Dodge product net you maintenance as low as a Hyundai? Nah, you'll be spending much of your ownership with that junk American product in the shop.
Loss of power mode......THe dealer probably did a firmware update at one of the oil changes. Often, they do it and don't even mention it.
To many car washes....Seriously. i would be one pissed off customer and taking that to the highest level to get those wheels replaced n trim fixed. Not very luxury at all. I wish you guys/gals pushed to see if thats cover under their warranty and not considered regular wear n tear. .thanks for the review it was good.
That would indeed be a laugh-in-their-face moment! No way.
Yea i would laugh in your face too cause if you didn't care about the car enough to stop going thru the automatic car wash what makes u think they're just going to replace it so u can complain about it again 😂
They woulda replaced it they have a service bulletin, I had it happen to my car and their replaced it.
Genesis 🔥🔥🔥
Any rust in suspension after two(?) years?
wired apple car play is a plus! if you know you know
Ours is currently in the shop for the second time within a year. Limited slip differential, very common problem. The dealer wanted us to drive it to the dealership, which is 35 minutes away from us. No guarantee that a tire won’t lock up. Yeah… wouldn’t recommend one of these. Go with a better established brand, come back to Genesis in 5-10 years.
The issues with my 2022 G70 have been minor in comparison to yours but due to the shady & unreliable local Hyundai/Genesis service center and subsequently being ghosted by their consumer affairs department, im never owning one again
Sounds like a dealer problem, not a Genesis problem.
@@MDKN22 No, it's a Genesis problem. Look up Genesis GV70 limited slip differential, you will see tons and tons of people that have problems with this. 10 months later and this problem has occurred two more times despite them replacing the entire LSD.
The review owner reviews for the GV70/80 are in for the year 1-2 year period... they are not good, sad to say the Benz GLE wad bad too
This is standard Hyundai protocol to blane car washes for every problem that can be attributed to wash. My Santa Fe calligraphy brakes make noises and are wobbly. Service advisor says this is because of automatic car wash. Does something random and problem comes back after a couple of months.
Companies like Hyundai can never become greatest because service is so pathetic and incompetent. Product gets them far enough but that sinking service can't be fixed easily.
The dealerships answer to the peeling of the wheel coating and discoloration of the trim piece was a typical lame dealership answer )-;
Don’t like white on ANY vehicle, but it’s such a good looking car. I’m turned off by the price and the lackluster gas mileage….and maybe the overdone exhaust pipes. Otherwise the Korean 3 are kicking butt!
If you dont like that price (which was a bargain) then you really wont like it now 😂. Price has gone up 4k+
Indeed
interior looks pretty plain. gas mileage stinks. never drove one though so Ill keep an open mind to it.
Ione one the interior is awesome The dials That is such a problem for everybody You get used to in about 20 minutes You people don't want to buy the car that's up to you you're missing out on a pretty d*** awesome car
Sorry for the typo It just annoys me that people come on these reviews and trash a car that they say they never want to buy It's a free country brother you don't want to buy it don't I think Genesis being a car company that's only 8 years old Are making amazing cars So what's your loss
@@flar5022 Havent driven a Genesis yet but Ive driven all the other S Korean manufacturers and they suck as far as im concerned.
Hyundai has created a separate segment for budget luxury. However, their resale value sucks, so people always buy used. Turbo engines have 100 other maintenance problems compared to naturally aspirated IC engines, so no turbo of any kind for me. Stick to basics, and you'll save in the long run.
They are probably correct about the trim. It happens to Mercedes all the time.
Didn’t know GV70 is a luxury SUV. I thought there is no luxury Korean cars that exist yet.
Dropped 0.4 seconds in a 0-60? That’s a ton. Almost 10%
That issue deserves more time. What gives?
This is a trend I'm noticing with turbocharged cars. Typically you get quicker as the drivetrain break-ins and efficiency improves. A few years ago their longterm F150 Raptor also got slower, and they definitely made an issue of it then. I wonder what a new set of spark plugs would do.
Turbo boost lol
Could be climate conditions, uphill run or wet pavement
Probably 0-60 times being slower caused by 40,000 miles of tire tread wear
Why do the wheels have reverse herpes?
Genesis all these years still hasn't fixed the cheap trim that many complain about. Wheels peeling paint? Heck not even this happens in a second tier japanese manufacturer like Mazda. Korean cars look great but the long term reliability is low. Look at all the Kia and Hyundai engine problems. They need to fix this crap fast.
Calls Hyundai unreliable yet is a fanboy of the worst era of BMWs 😂
@MDKN22 lol that is just username. Mine is 2017 f36. Most reliable of the BMW and still compared to a Japanese car, they are unreliable. I am not oblivious to BMW reliability, but I won't blindly defend a brand. If you think Genesis is better reliability and don't have trim and engine problems you go right ahead.
good luck with resale
$10,000 discount.
If you want a more thorough review about the actual technical details of the car, this is not it....
Very bland interior my Toyota Highlander platinum is much more elegant
I've driven in my friend's Highlander And I own A Genesis GV70 You don't know what you're talking about The Highlander doesn't even come close
This guy is a troll 😂
Two knob setup is stupid on dashboard. Fire that interior designer.
I hate the headlights and taillights
Then don't buy the car why you idiots on a Genesis forum if you're not interested in buying the car I think you morons just come on here just to trash the car company What did Genesis said to do to you
Go ahead. Spend $80k for a Korean junk
It's much better to spend over a $100000 On German junk Right But by what you want to buy you're obviously a stupid person so do what you want So I will drive my Genesis But I promise to wave at you When I drive by the repair shop And you have your German junk being repaired Spending over a $140000 from S class is insane it's garbage it always was garbage and it will always be garbage
Sometimes I missed listening what you’re saying because you are too good looking
Edmunds lost the best they had.
Sounds boring
Twin Turbo v6.. aka ticking time bomb... pass
It’s still a Hyundai. Any car made by Hyundai that cost over 30k is a rip off
Pretty sure my Kona N would blow the doors off anything you own
He's yummy but that Hyundai SUV is and always will be garbage.
It's Genesis not Hyundai. You don't say Lexus to Toyota, do you?
I was formerly a BMW guy...test drove the Genesis GV70 (4 cyl) and was BLOWN AWAY at how how composed the ride was. 300hp is more than enough for me and I'd argue most ppl. This will probably be my next ride... Excellent review

Love the GV70 - I just do. As a PRO detailer I can tell you one thing - they were right about the trim at Genesis. Those automatic carwashes can totally destroy chrome trim wheels and much more. If you have such car - get it protected (like with Nano graphene coatings from Artdeshine) by really good detailer and just maintain it properly. It will keep looking stunning for years to come!
I have a gv 70 3.5t with the dark metal trim and it started to get a haze layer over it after hand washes and clay wax, I thought it was just residue, but turns out it was a known issue with genesis and the dealer replaced it all. The problem was with the metal trim’s plastic protector adhesive from the factory and when it sat in sunlight and loading lots in Los Angeles, they only remove the protective film at the dealers, and there wouldn’t be any immediate visual issues or residue until months later. They offer a two step process at the dealer here in la, they attempt to clean it with a spray that removes alittle of the residue but it also could remove the dark metal color, after that cleaning is not satisfactory, they order replacement trim and change it all out and it looks brand new again.
It’s been 4 months since I got the metal door trim replaced and it’s looking great.
Detailer here as well and was about to type out this comment word for word
My wife has this exact car color and all and I use adams polish products for everything and ours never went into a auto wash and been graphene coated from day one and our trim faded bad and had to be replaced. Other then that it's been flawless love the car.
I had a 96 Chevy Tahoe 4-door and had the same problems with the chrome trim on the wheel wells. Chevrolet replaced them all (the car wash killed the chrome). You'd think that the factories would have this issue under control by now!
I use to drive my Lexus through automatic car washes all the time and never had such issues.
Screams cheap quality on Genesis part.
In my 3 months of ownership of this vehicle I've never confused the gear shift with the screen controller 🤣🤣 awesome car to own though
Clear coat has been an issue across the entire Hyundai / Genesis line. Our 2020 Palisade shed clearcoat on the wheels horribly. They replaced our wheels under warranty but heard others that were denied. Our 2022 Calligraphy is no better and our friends GV80 is experiencing the same issues.
Wonder if acid rain is a contributing factor?
@@dothedishes3427 It rains on other brands and they don't seem to suffer the same fate.
It’s a shame that’s even happening on genesis vehicles. If the genesis cars have the same poor paint quality as my Elantra I will not buy one
From above : "As a PRO detailer I can tell you one thing - they were right about the trim at Genesis. Those automatic carwashes can totally destroy chrome trim wheels and much more" aka clear coat, wheels :-). Manual wash only or carwash and or power sprayer?
@@devn3813 From an Elantra to a Genesis? Double the price of your current vehicle? Of course they don't nor was 'paint' mentioned in video or by OP.
First part of week in October 14, 2021 we went to get my wife’s 2020 Palisade Limited service and on October 14th she drove away with a pearl white Sport Prestige 2.5t with red interior. She bought it when there weren’t many. It still gets lot of looks and she loves it to this day. Never heard her say a thing she doesn’t love about it and that is odd for her. It is a great vehicle and great looking. Thanks for the video.
This review was very helpful to me. I have a 2010 Mercedes ML350 that I love, but time is catching up with it and I'm doing research for its replacement. I'm disappointed by so many manufacturers and their "sticking to the what we've always done" attitude towards factory warranties. These vehicles aren't cheap to work on and getting the most warranty possible is a big deal to me. Both of my children drive Hyundais so I looked at the Genesis lineup and the GV70 is looking like it could be my next car.
Quite amazing what South Korea has achieved the past 20 years 👏
Why don't you see 20 year old Korean cars on the road still though? Hard to see any at 10 years old too...
@@ericbinder2165 A small country is dominating China in the shipbuilding industry. The population of China is 28 times that of Korea. Samsung Electronics earns more than the profits of 10 Japanese electronics companies. They compete with Apple for smartphones and with Taiwan's TSMC to make other miscellaneous home appliances. High-definition TV panels can only be made by Korean electronics. There are three battery companies in Korea, and their technology is the world's top 3dl. The battery company and Hyundai Kia Motors are leading electric vehicles. It competes with Tesla. The technological completeness of electric vehicles is incomparable to that of Chinese European automakers. It will compete with Tesla, but it will be a tight match in the next 5 years. Hyundai Kia Motors is twice Toyota's operating profit ratio and is the third-largest in the world in sales. Industry experts predict that the odds will exceed Volkswagen and Toyota in three years.

@@daniel0223-i8s😂😂😂😂😂 oh God my Korean lover he is already putting to compete Kia with Volkswagen and of course Toyota 😂😂 WoooW imma keep my eyes wide open!! I promise!!
@ericbinder2165 Here's some food for thought. What is the average lifespan of a car in your driveway? Notice I said your driveway. The average American "buys" a new car (often leases) every 3 to 5 years. Yep, you heard correctly. Three to five years.
That's it. The fairytale concept that a car should last you 20 years and 250,000 miles is really a decades old argument.
I mean we're talking 90s when it was extremely important to buy a reliable car.
It's difficult to find a bad modern car. Sure people still get stuck with a lemon here n there. But you have the lemon law, and you have manufacturer warranties for non critical issues. Heck, I had to take in my 2018 BMW after 300 miles for an alignment. And a rattling exhaust at 1000 miles. Warranty is a beautiful thing.
And also, yes. I do see old hyundais and kias where I live. Just not as many as old Hondas and toyotas because guess what, hyundai wasn't selling quite as much back then. It's just simple math.
@@estuardogutierrez9041New hyundais and kias are above your class now buddy. while ppl like you were too busy mocking them, they've moved on. now, they don't market to you. they market more towards the $50,000+ category. Stick with your preowned corolla.
Running ANY car through an automatic car wash is the worst thing you can do.
The only problem with my '20 G90 is that my wife keeps stealing it at every opportunity
Nice video! Genesis really nailed the design on GV70 IMHO. Better than other brands in this segment.
Problem with Genesis is lack of dealers. Luxury car buyers don’t want to go to Hyundai dealer for service, no chance.
I would go to a Hyundai dealer. I have decided not to buy a Genesis because the Hyundai dealer where I intend to move to won't touch Genesis cars due to problems with the parent company. Going to a local Hyundai dealer is better than having no local support at all.
Not all luxury car buyers have an elitist attitude like that.
@@isamu982 Most people that buy luxury expect to be pampered and get great service. If you think one buys luxury and is ok getting shitty service at Hyundai dealer, you are not being real.
What is it with you people and the dealers Genesis as a car company is only 8 years old How many dealerships did Mercedes Benz and BMW have after only 8 years I think for only being 8 years old that car company is amazing
I own a BMW and just hate to go to any dealer whatsoever. You just drop off your car and wait. What else you expect? Well, German dealers have nicer couches. That's all.
I learned recently that Hyundai / Genesis white paint colors use an additional coat versus non white colors which is why they cost more. Owning an Atlas White Ioniq 5 I do think it is a nice, “bright” white.
It should've been pearl of they're gonna charge you more for it. Atlas white is basic while the Ioniq 6 got the nicer pearl paint.
Is this a new thing? I’ve always been weary of white Hyundai/Kia products due to seeing them flake and peel quite often as they age.
@@BeesonsCars That's a good question and I don't know the answer.
I can tell you now. Those Genesis wont hold up very long. Consumer Reports buys all those cars and suvs and tests them around the clock. And they tested both of these Genesis suvs and they didn’t do well. Just like this one didn’t do well in just 40k miles. CR tests their vehicles for 100k and beyond and has plenty of data to back up the real world year after year testings. So there you have it folks. The Lexus, Toyota and BMW products are far superior overall and in the long run. Especially, the 2019 and up models.
I don't think most of the coments in this section are even real. Genesis spends astronomical amount of money on advertisment. It broke my heart when my friend bought a really expensive overpriced used telluride which ended up breaking down and the issue was not covered.
I chose the 2023 2.5T advanced trim in Cardiff green exterior / vanilla interior as the sweet spot in value last December ($52k). That trim had all of my must haves and most wants. 300hp is more than enough oomph and torque for my needs driving in city traffic (0-60 in around 5.6 seconds). I note the 2024 advanced trim will no longer come with ventilated front seats, lexicon sound system and remote park assist ! Only 5k miles so far but extremely happy owner. I agree not having wireless CarPlay seems strange for the model with all the rest of the tech implemented.
The rumor I heard is it's a requirement for AA/Carplay to default to its own navigation when clicking a navigation button. Hyundai refuses to do this so they only offer wireless carplay on models without navigation available. Not sure if true, but does seem to check out.
In only 40,000 miles that car lost FOUR TENTHS in it's 0 to 60 times?!?!?!?
That is a massive loss of performance over such a short span and the way the narrator reported it was like it was no big deal. No additional explanation and seemingly zero curiosity of why a high dollar vehicle would fall so far and so fast in the acceleration department??? There is obviously a completely unacceptable issue going that's causing a huge performance loss and not even a blink. Engine power, transmission, torque converter, ECU, etc., yet glossed over as if it was "normal".
Perhaps car videos should be created by people who at least have an entry level understanding of cars.
Did anything break? I am hearing almost every single one of these is going back to shop multiple times just in the 1st year for repairs.
I don't buy the wheel excuse either. Dealerships always try to blame something else first to make you pay more for something that should be covered. I would have said, "well, I hand wash my cars all the time, so that's a lie. Nice try."
Thanks for the driving review. I am considering one of these when I buy in April.
Great review. I don’t think the fade on the wheels and door trim is covered under warranty. At least that’s what Kia said about my 2020 Stinger. It looks like the same materials and I’ve seen may similar comments in some forums. Do you know for sure if those items are covered under the warranty because I’ve been considering getting one of these.
It's actually a tarnishing that happens, mainly on the dark chrome trim. And yes, they do replace it. But it probably just happens again! I have the dark chrome and haven't had any problems, but I also have ceramic coating...
It happened to my 2022 G70’s dark chrome window trim started at around 5k miles. I never took it through a car wash and always washed it carefully. Genesis replaced it under warranty. There’s a service bulletin for it.
@@GOdelta2 Great outcome. Thanks for sharing that 👍
@@dalehuhtala9285 thanks for the share. Kia said no dice.

Love my 2022 GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige (Uyuni white over red/charcoal), November will be two years and I would buy it again. it's garaged and I use Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic spray every 4 months, the trim gets graphene too and it looks brand new.
i love this car but after dealing with hyundai's dealerships and them worming out of every warranty issue, never again
I found the six to be a beast that was pretty rough around the edges; harsher ride, too much for a daily driver. No judgement but had I gotten one it would have the four which was actually plenty fast.
