New Owners Pictures and Reviews

Making a 400 mile roundtrip tomorrow to pick up my GV70. Getting the 3.5T Advanced, with Seville Silver and all red quilted interior. Dealer gave me $500 off MSRP since the owner of the dealership used it as a tester and put 600 miles on it.
Glad it's all "coming together", for ya. Interior should look pretty stunning.

Off topic but mine is supposed to arrive this week and the waiting is killing me.
And my trade in is a ticking bomb
What did you go with? I sold my car to Carvana a month ago, very easy process. Don’t settle for less on the trade in from the dealer if you’ve already agreed on the price of the GV70.

I got a Sport Plus in Uyuni White and the interior color is Obsidian Black with Sevilla Red Nappa Leather.

I got a fair price for my car and also received a discount because the salesman is my friend. I'm very happy with the trade in and discount. It was a bonus for me.

Because I'm self employed I can write off this car and because I'm trade in my car I'm also saving in the sale taxes.
 
So my GV80 was involved in a car accident and it got totaled. I had a deposit on a new one but when I went to go get it, they had this sick looking GV70 there! Ended up taking it home! Paid MSRP. Took a lot of back and forth negotiations as they had it priced at $70k. It’s a Sport Prestige 3.5 for $64,400.
Reasons I went with the GV70 instead- handling, power, and over all style!!

Congrats. Good move. I do like the styling of the GV80 quite a bit and if I needed more room would have gone there but this rig fits me better and it is more of a sports car...

Is that the red interior? I'm really glad now that I got that.

Yes it’s the red interior, of course the seats are different as it’s the sport prestige model. The regular red interior has red leather seats. Not sure I would have go for it with red seats. I think the black and red is extremely sharp.
 
Really like the blue interior. Does it have the red seatbelts?
I just picked up my GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige in Uyuni (pearl metallic) White with the Aquamarine Blue leather/suede interior. In answer to V your question, yes the seat belts are ready, as is most of the stitching and even the piping on the seats. In my opinion, this is a beautiful interior…elegant and also sporty. Even the headliner and pillars are covered in blue Alcantara suede.
I’ll try to post pictures soon.

Awesome, didn’t know about the matching headliner. Some pics I’ve seen seem to show the top of the dash bring blue instead if black, that might be an illusion though. Maybe you can confirm.
Looking forward to your pictures!

Congrats, the Sevilla Red interior with the quilted seats is gorgeous with White IMO. The Red Napa quilted leather on a Sports Plus (USA Prestige) is the Canada standard? Had originally specked Mauna red/with Seville red interior on an Advanced, but went with Ultramarine instead. Red on red would have been overkill!

In Canada the Sport comes with leather seats and a black mesh in the middle and aluminum trim. The Sport plus (US Sport Prestige) comes with quilted seats. The model I test drove was red with blue interior and for a few days I was wondering if I should've gotten the red but when I saw mine I fell in love. I'm very happy with my choice and the buying experience.

I noticed this in a Canadian youtube review. I much prefer the quilted seats. Will probably go with the advanced just to get those seats. The prestige comes with the quilted seats only with the beige interior.
 
Here is my Sport Prestige 3.5 Saville Silver ( black/red interior) 150 miles on it today. Love it. View attachment 37132
Congrats on your GV70. I just took delivery of a fully loaded 3.5T Uyuni White with Ultramarine Blue interior. I’m taking the car in in a few days to have the front windows tinted. I want them to match the factory tint on the rest of the vehicle.

What kind of tint did you use?
 
What are the reviews on the suede seats on the prestige?
 
Pre-buy impressions on the forum are almost all negative until you sit in them. However it *seems* that most buyers are ok with them once they have them. I fit that mold - didn't want the suede but features outweighed that.

I don't like the look as well (although it's not bad), but I like the daily "usability" a lot better. No sweating and no hot seat when you step into a 110+ degree car. Can't tell you what its like with leather, but the ass-cooler works great with the suede.

No issues with stains or wear?
 
I like the look of the suede on the black seats better than the quilt. I haven’t driven the quilt yet, so I don’t know the comfort difference. The suede does look better in person.
 
I got the Saville red/black interior on my Sport Prestige. Was I supposed to get red seat belts? I got black but see pictures of red belts on the blue interior. Hmmm.
