Just took home a 2020 Genesis G70 3.3T with 32 miles on it.. What next?

Hey Folks,

After a lot of research and Test drives, I and my wife decided to get the 3.3T home this Saturday. What now? Break in the engine for 600 miles?( No Launch control?). Premium Fuel Needed? Any DO's and Dont's? We got the Siberian ICE and its a looker..

Good for you, Hope it treats you and your wife well.

In my '18 G80 Sport (3.3T) I burn mostly regular.

What next, fight over who gets to drive it.

She is happy with her Camry. All she asks from me is to launch this when ever we go on a ride.

Breaking for 600 miles, no Launch Control during that time, Premium fuel Recommended but not Needed. Enjoy your car and Congrats!

And...use the paddles for manual mode every now and then...so you alter your revs.

Download the Genesis Intelligent Assistant app on your IPhone or Android if you hadn't already. My dealer didn't mention it but learned about it on this forum.

Great for auto starting your vehicle among other things.

When you use the remote starter from the APP, Is it a feature for the Hazard lights to flash?

 

[Husky]

Give your dealer (or Genesis?) a few weeks to submit your VIN to MapnSoft, then you can login and see if there is an update to your Nav software.
Enjoy!

Yes. Mandatory in Korea and no way to stop it here.

Got mine Wednesday.

First step - drive from dealership to detailer (they don't have the glass box here so I picked it up). Detailer put on Xpel and Ceramic coating (see pic)

Second step - picked it up Friday and drove it home.

Third step - learning all the tech in the car. Adjusting your seat to your favorite driving position (still working on that). Test all the features make sure all works ok.

As per what's been said, now it's breaking in time. Manual says not to use launch control for 600 miles (1000 kms for me). Using premium fuel because A) that's what the engine runs best on B) don't want to lose horse power C) during break in period I want to use the recommended fuel. After all, it's a "Sports Sedan". At least you have the option to not use Premium if you don't want to. Use what you want but I'd run Premium for at least the first three tanks before you switch (I have no valid reason for that, but after three tanks your engine should be broken in fine).

As Beefer said - for break in,use the paddles to change your revs. Manual states to keep between 2000k and 4000k and not to keep at a steady rate and not to 'race the engine'.

Fourth step - Enjoy! I'm loving the car so far though snowed today and my front sensor got snow stuck on it so I got a 'collision' warning and the yellow triangle with the ! point in the middle in my display.

They should have a heater on that thing!
It looks great.

I found the best way to break it in was using sport mode as it always maintains 2000 rpm. Just take it easy with the throttle and it naturally shifts a lot as well.

Oh and welcome! Good to see another Canuck on the forum!

Congrats to you guys on your new G70's! I came --> this <-- close to getting one, but went for the G80 instead. Picked it up Thursday.

These are great cars. Yes, vary the RPMs by going to manual mode and use paddle shifters. I ran down the highway at 3K RPM for a couple minutes, then 2.5K, etc...

Set your radio stations, enjoy the app, program your common destinations (home, work, etc), and play with Android Auto / Carplay. Set tire pressures, learn all the controls (took me a few days and still learning), and as you have time, read the manuals.

Great point - I noticed that as I was switching modes (I'll do that a lot too). Thanks!

i haven't tried doing the destinations yet - but another good idea to do. Maybe this weekend.
