  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Genesis GV70 Reviews

Back on topic, by request, this just came out from the British magazine Car. I can only use a short quote from it because it is behind a paywall.

(I don’t own a BMW and have never come close to wanting one, just so you know. I think BMW’s are ugly. YMMV

Do you know what's better than reading cars reviews? Go and drive the car for yourself. I did not need to read or wait for a bunch of reviews to purchase the GV70. I was interested in the vehicle from day one of seeing the prototypes and camouflage car. The official photos and the Asian Petrolhead review sealed the deal for me. So as soon as I could, a deal was done back in mid-June. Finally, I had the car in my garage. So far, I have not been disappointed. Is it 100% perfect? No, but no vehicles are. There will be failures, and every car manufacturer will have failures. One thing that surprised me was the public's reaction to the car. People are always complimenting and asking questions about it.

Same here. When I bought mine, North American reviews weren’t even out yet. Besides, there’s only one person who knows what’s important to me when buying a car: ME. LOL
 
I want to make it clear that I think that the GV70 is a good car. Nobody is going to say that you made a bad purchase regardless of trim on this vehicle.

What I am saying is that the value proposition just isn’t there for me at 65k, especially with the usual German vehicles being similarly optioned, sometimes costing less because of MSRP discounts and incentives.

I’m also looking for a sportier vehicle, which the GV70 was marketed as, having the eLSD and launch control. When I test drove however, I felt the car was bigger than it actually was and had noticeable body roll.

And yes, driving a car simply because it’s not a well-known luxury badge might be a shortcoming, but I think it stands on similar footing with the people who buy cars “just because there aren’t a lot of them on the road”.

Did you get an X3 M40i? Those are actually pretty sweet.

Good to hear that you drove it. It did it not meet your expectations and you're moving on to something else. It's not going to be for everyone. Good luck finding your next vehicle.

Oh is it? Really?? Wow I had no clue... Thank you so much for the education. I guess that explains why my factory order is being delivered 5 weeks after placing it. I mean I guess I just thought they had really fast boats from Germany or something.

It's a shame you guys have so defensive and want to just make this forum a place for fanboys without any contrary opinions that could be helpful to others.

Great! I was scheduled to get my GV70 in February (ordered in August) but my car has been sitting at the lot for 3 weeks now because either someone cancelled or car companies make vehicles beyond the pre-orders.

Never test drove one until I actually drove mine home. I read enough reviews that made me comfortable enough that I knew it would be a good driving car which now it's confirmed that it is a great driving car.

I did the same thing and never drove or seen the car in person until I signed the papers and drove off. So far, I've not been disappointed or had any issues with the vehicle.

This came out three weeks ago, not sure how we all missed it…Oh that’s right, it’s all of the flame wars on this thread! Lol

This guy does great work..

Ironic that the Genesis wins due in part to it's "eLSD rear end" but that's why mine has been in the shop for a month. Cruel irony to be sure.

  3. 2022 Genesis GV70 Review
"A design, quality, and technological tour de force, the 2022 Genesis GV70 is an exceptionally appealing alternative to the compact premium SUVs that dominate sales in the segment. Hardcore driving enthusiasts could find its outright handling capability disappointing, and Genesis needs to improve the voice-recognition technology. But otherwise, there is plenty of love and not much to criticize regarding the new 2022 GV70."

The author nailed it about the Primacys.
 
Print reviews are just so much more helpful than video reviews, in general. I think this one is extremely helpful. The HUD is IMHO the standout feature of the GV70.
 
another new Aussie review that is favorable

 
More reviews from countries I could care less about..

2022 Genesis GV70 Review | Car Reviews | Auto123

Auto123 reviews the 2022 Genesis GV70, a real-deal package priced to sell in a tough segment. To know this SUV is to love it, we learn on our BC road trip.

We like

Great looks
Quality of construction
Interior refinement
Pricing compared to certain rivals
Simple product offering

We like less

Trunk is not huge
Fuel consumption is only average
Not quite as dynamic as some German rivals"

"But as long as you don’t care much about the status that Bavarian make delivers, there’s precious little reason to ignore the upstart brand out of South Korea for your next luxury compact SUV."
