Genesis GV70 Reviews

[Imp]

Still, no one with the CuFt or otherwise of hatch volume behind the 2nd row. Not looking good from the videos though.

Motoman, as usual, with the most technical info (even if some of it is speculation).

Man, that new EV concept must be something.





Considering the likelihood of the Coronavirus mutating each season like the common flu, they should offer the air purification system for every market (and add an ultra violet light to kill viruses).

Well it still has a cabin air-filter. I think it’s a HEPA. What other entry-level luxury cars offer “ultra-violet light” filtering systems?

Weird that this information doesn't seem to be available anywhere on the internet, given it is already out in Korea.

This video claims the space volume in the back.
542 L
1678 L with seats folded down.

That's basically a Mazda CX-5 in terms of trunk space. Actually the GV70 has a slightly larger trunk with the seats up (but no 40/20/40 split).

542L is 19.14 CuFt. Umm, that can't be right? It's smaller than my Impreza hatch? Or even the CX30/Mazda 3. This makes me sad... and, if true, I will not be getting one. I need more room, not less. I guess the search continues. I mean, FPace has a 33.5 cu ft (essentially same length and wheelbase as GV70) It just cannot be that bad?

I'm guessing it's correct, but not 100% sure.
Just for fun, here is a 3 car comparison.

Here's a pic of the cargo area for a BMW E84 X1 (rated at 410 L)



Here's one for the GV70. Looks a little deeper.


And here's one for a Jaguar Fpace. Looks like it doesn't have the intrusion as much for the wheel wells, and is even deeper.

X1 was always known as smallest in class. 15cu ft or so. The Jag is 33 cu ft. The dogs (2@70lbs ea) will be fine in the back of the Jag, but not the Genesis.

Not sure how they missed the mark on this one, especially considering the Jag is only .7" longer, 1" wider and .9" higher. In almost all regards, volume-wise, statistically "same". But the Jag hatch volume is 33.5 CuFt vs the GV70 supposed 19.1? That's going to sting. Again, a Premium SUV with less storage than my '17 Impreza? L to the O to the L.

Comparing the pics, there's a noticeable difference in the depth of the floor on the GV70 to FPace. If I were to guess, 5-6 inches. Can see it in the opening, and the back seats and where it the volume is made up/lost. Bummer.

Interesting. There's something going on with the Genesis crossover designs. I see that the much larger GV80 has cargo space of 34.9 cu. ft. with the 2nd row up, just 1.4 more than the F Pace despite the GV80 being 8" longer and 2" wider & higher. In fact, my Lincoln Nautilus (37.2 cu. ft.) has more cargo space than the GV80 even though it clocks in 4" shorter, and 2" narrower & lower. Maybe it is the long hood design of the Genesis vehicles.

No cargo room has been confirmed for the GV70. So pointless to throw out any numbers.

Edit: Looks like we now have official numbers (below thread) it looks great.

It was in the above video review, and I sincerely doubt the number would not have been an official number. That's how you lose press credentials for car reviews.

You can choose not to believe it, that's fine. But don't go around saying what is and is not, "pointless" to discuss.

Confirmed from the Canada preview last week @ 1610/819 liters (56.8/ 28.9 cubic feet)

It’s not official...it’s some number they threw out there. Unless you point me to official Genesis literature...it’s made up.

So YOU can believe it all you want...but stick to facts.

Now THIS is what I call official.

Thanks !

Thanks! This article references those figures.

OK. cool. Thanks. Like I said, it's one thing to say, "I don't believe it", when there's some discussion going on. But to tell others that "other discussion is pointless" is what I had an issue with. Those numbers do look better. (And I also stand by that the number given in the video, by citing a wrong number, they should lose their press credentials).

 

[Imp]

One thing about the image disturbs me... it says "CUBIC FEET" next to the volume header, but lists the numbers in Liters. It's a nit... but really?

 

[pegasus558]

Page 5 of this brochure says it is 56.9 behind the first row and 28.9 behind the second row, (all in cubic feet) which is good enough.
