Hi everyone!

Hi there! I just got my first Genesis, a new 2026 GV70 3.5T Sport Advanced. Just picked it up last weekend so I'm still getting to know it (and this forum).

Thanks for the welcome!
I had a 2015 Dodge Durango R/T. It's been a great car for the last 10 years but was bigger than I need these days and a little thirstier.

Nice vehicle. I've always liked them - in each generation. Yes, the GV70 should give you better fuel economy. How are you liking the GV70 compared to the Durango R/T? How do the two compare?

It's hard to compare them, even though they're SUVs that are quick. They have roughly the same HP and torque but the GV70 is about 500 lbs lighter, which gives it a bit of a performance edge.

The Durango was much larger and had storage all over the place, but it also had lots of wasted space most of the time.
Tech in the Durango was also 7-10 years older so things like adaptive cruise control were a little quirkier. But it did have physical buttons which, to me, was a big plus.

I'm still on a learning curve with the GV70. Lots to love!

I can tell you, I don't miss the extra vibration and rattles that come with a 10 year old car!
