Resale value is remarkable

Just had my 2021 Genesis GV70 valued after three years — depreciation far lower than I budgeted. Trouble-free ownership. A genuinely smart long-term buy.

It does the job, nothing more

The 2021 Genesis GV70 is competent transportation. Nothing went wrong, nothing impressed me either. If you just need a reliable appliance this will serve you fine. If you want something engaging, look elsewhere.

Worst car purchase I've ever made

Cannot recommend. Transmission issue, electrical fault that stranded me, engine warning light dealer cannot diagnose. Every visit takes a week. I had high expectations. Avoid.

Ongoing reliability nightmare

Fourteen months, more time at the dealer than my driveway. Turbo failed at 8,000 miles, infotainment blank at 11,000 miles, persistent vibration they cannot locate. First and last experience with this brand.

Decent, but not outstanding

Solid car that does its job without exciting me. Ride comfortable, easy to drive, safety features work well. Interior materials feel a step below the price point, engine noisy when pushed. Reliable but not class-leading.

Really good — a few niggles but nothing major

The 2021 Genesis GV70 is a genuinely excellent car and I'm happy with my purchase. Strong points are the ride quality, interior space, and standard safety tech. Weak points are a slightly fiddly touchscreen that requires too many taps for simple tasks, and a blind spot from the thick rear quarter pi…

Mixed feelings after six months

I was very excited about my 2021 Genesis GV70 purchase but reality has been more subdued. The positives: generous space, good fuel economy, and a perfect driving position. The negatives: the touchscreen regularly freezes requiring a reboot, the rear wiper smears in light rain, and lane-keeping assis…

Best car I've ever owned

I've owned quite a few cars over the years and the 2021 Genesis GV70 is comfortably the best. The interior quality feels genuinely premium, the ride is smooth without feeling disconnected, and the infotainment system actually works without frustrating you. My only minor gripe is wind noise at motorw…

Worth every penny

Yes, I spent more than my budget initially allowed, but the 2021 Genesis GV70 has more than justified the extra outlay. The refinement difference is immediately noticeable coming from my old car. Cruising at motorway speeds is serene, the seats are supportive over long distances, and the tech suite …
