Electric GV70

[SebringSilver]

What tire pressure is everybody running on their eGV70?

 

[Wolf359fb]

I agree with what most of you are saying. I'm not really sure the electric Macan is a step up from the eGV70. I'm more keen to add a bigger car back to the family but after being really impressed with the way the eGV70 drives, I think it will quite likely be the next-gen fully electric GV80. The eM platform is supposed to deliver between 700-800 km on a full charge.

I like the looks of the GV80 coupe, on the other hand I don't think the current or next generation (EV) version of it to be as athletic as the GV70...

The recommended pressures according to the label on the door post; Front: 33 and Rear: 39 psi.

I'm running 35 psi front and 37 psi rear. The vehicle was delivered to me (in May 2023) with a pressure of 35 psi in all four tires.

Thanks. I was just surprised recently when I noticed that on my gray one it was 31(f) and 36(r) while on my white one it's 33(f) and 39(r) as recommended according to the label on the door jamb.

I remember in the old days, we used to add a few PSI in the winter time. In fact, the manual recommends doing that. Is anyone actually doing it though?

It depends what your tires are filled with, if its with nitrogen (Green cap), there isn't enough of a pressure difference with changing temperatures to warrant this.

I basically only check it twice a year with the seasonal wheel change or if one looks abnormally low...

When the transition was happening from fall to winter and the ambient temperatures began falling, I added air to the tires on a couple of occasions to maintain the specific "cold" tire pressure that I wanted (i.e. 35 psi front / 37 psi rear). I have a small air compressor in my garage, so adding air to the tires is super easy.

I got a small 12V one I carry in the frunk, not very powerful but I have it with the car at all times...

So there's one alert I really got fed up with and turned off, the one that says to pay attention to the road:

- It was falsely triggered all the time when wearing sunglasses.

- It was just programmed too stupidly and getting triggered every time you looked left or right for a bit of time. Flash news Genesis: There's times where it's legitimate not to be looking straight ahead, like I don't know, when navigating say a roundabout? How about programming it so it checks that eyes are looking in the direction the steering wheel is turned?

As far as the other alerts go, I'm not too bothered, they seem to be set about right, but that one really got to me.

Same wheels and tires?

Yup, same wheels and tires. I bumped the gray car's tires up to match the white one's. It wasn't like it was terrible to drive before. Just thought it was weird that the dealer set it up differently before delivery.

Lol, yeah these new Genesis vehicles have almost too many nanny alerts. The one that really bothers me is the active intervention when in Reverse. When I was a teenager I worked part-time at a car rental company and there was a huge lot behind the service center where we had to park all the same make and model cars that had been gassed up, washed, and vacuumed into straight lines by backing them in. Often, a whole line of Mustangs or Monte Carlos would have gone out and now you're backing in these huge Lincoln Towncars between two long rows of other cars, so you get pretty good at driving in reverse. But if I drive the GV70 in reverse kinda quickly, the computers freak out and slam on the brakes! Man, that takes you by surprise. Lol

Yeah, I shut it off after the first couple of times it happened.

Yeah that happened to be backing up in a parking spot, there was nothing yet the car slammed the brakes - My wife asked if we hit something and pointed the screen: "Look, there's nothing!" And it's not like the car does it gently, you feel like you hit a wall!

If it is the sticker on the door, it is the manufacturer who set it up. Perhaps between the time you purchased the first one and the time you got the second one Genesis changed its recommendation? Of course, we all know that different colors require different tire inflation amounts.

Two essentially identical electric GV70s. That is unusual. Most times someone would want a second car to be either bigger (for more passengers or trips) or smaller (for folks like me who prefer to drive a smaller, more maneuverable vehicle). I hope you are otherwise continuing to enjoy your EV. I know that I adore my GV60P. Sometimes I pass a car just because I can and its so much fun.

I can only use the boost button when I'm alone in the car - My wife threatened of barfing and I wouldn't want that... For the artic white seats.

I can't believe we've had three days without rain! Not the best picture, but yeah the Matterhorn White looks pretty good!

Stunning!

Is there some metallic or pearl-like effect in it when seen up close in the sun (Like the metallic flakes in the Makalu Gray Matte finish)?

Yes indeed. I'll try to capture some better images this weekend.
