I've got one of these cars for a rental and am wondering what this thing is for. Touching or swiping on it doesn't seem to do anything?
This is a 2026 3.5SP with about 11K miles on it. Have had it since last Thanksgiving. Just in the past 2 days I have noticed that it was getting hard to open the door from the inside. I thought the rubber gasket seal was sticking to the frame of the car. I couldn't feel any stickyness on the gasket, nor see any residue on the door jamb. However, I did finally find the issue. At the very top of the door, when I close it from the outside, I can see that it binds on the leading edge of the rear door. Just a small amount, but enough to think that I need to have it looked at. The dealer that I now use is an hour away. Has anyone else see/had this problem? I don't see any adjustments on the hinge, but perhaps there is one there.
I am the original owner of a 2023 GV70. In the last few weeks I have received several notices from Genesis that my Connected Services is no longer in service. This was supposed to be a service for the life of ownership. Anyone know what has happened to allow them to remove the service?
From when I bought : https://www.genesisnewsusa.com/releases/325
The standard wheels on the 26 I am looking at are 21”. I am wondering about adding tires with more sidewall for pothole protection ? Any other ideas?
Made my first service visit to the Genesis-only dealership in Highland Park, IL today. Love the facility!
Great to see them establishing Genesis-specific facilities and making an effort to deliver a full luxury car experience.
Shopping for a 2026 Genesis GV70 2.5T CPO and hit something that doesn’t add up to me. Same dealer, two cars:
• White/black interior — sitting on the lot, 5,000 miles, quoted at $40,500
• Red exterior/beige interior (the color combo I actually want) — currently in loaner rotation, 11,000 miles, quoted at $41,500
So the car with over double the mileage, and a history as a loaner (multiple drivers, unknown use pattern), is priced $1,000 higher than the lower-mileage lot car. Both are CPO, both get the 191-point inspection, so on paper the mechanical condition should be a wash.
My logic: even if there’s some kind of color premium baked in, the mileage gap should be pulling the price down, not getting fully offset and then some. I’m planning to ask the salesperson to walk me through the math and push for the red/beige to land at or under the white car’s price ($40,000–$40,500), rather than accepting the higher number just because it’s the color I want.
Is this a reasonable ask, or am I missing something about how dealers price ex-loaners vs. lot cars? Anyone dealt with something similar — did pointing out a mileage/price mismatch actually move the needle, or do dealers usually hold firm on “that’s just what the color costs”?
Not sure if the black will look clean over this paint.
Will tint the fronts a bit more so was thinking the windows would come out clean.
Does anyone know how to take the trunk light cover off? I tried a pry bar with absolutely zero luck!
I am considering selling my Tesla model X and The GV70 seems to be a top contender. Has anyone made a similar move and regretted it?
One of my boys is a big slobberer, especially after running around at the park. I tried to clean it off, but it's not fully removed. Any ideas for an interior cleaner that may work, or would this be considered wear and tear upon lease return?
TLDR - I doubt it's as reliable as a Lexus but how reliable is this car? :)
My rides over the past 10 years
Lexus IS, Lexus UX, GMC Canyon
My least favorite the UX. Most fav the Canyon. I just love the truck. The interior and the drive are the best I've owned yet. But, the tech, is spotty and unreliable (adaptive cruise rarely works, the screen sometimes won't power on or takes several minutes to turn on). Screen is touch screen only, which is annoying, and sometimes the light sensor will dim the screen and get stuck and touch stops working, until I restart he vehicle
Mechanically it's fine but it is relatively new
Anyway considering the GV70 2.5 Sport prestige. 2027 model since the HUD is included and I have that in my canyon. My biggest fear will be having similar regret I had when i went from Lexus IS to Lexus UX. UX nicer tech, but IS was much funner to drive
I did test drive a 2026 GV70. No matter what my next vehicle likely will not be a truck, so I will feel that difference no matter what I get.
Secondly, I've read about reliability issues with Hyundai vehicles in general
Weekly health checks didn't report battery issue. Battery died after 2 years. Had to have the car towed. Techs had to jump the car and found 11 low volts warnings. The car nor the app alerted us. Pfft!
Super excited to share that i got a new 2026 GV70 3.5t Sports Prestige.
After a lot of overthinking I finally pulled the trigger and I’m happy with my choice!
Overall, it’s a beautiful luxury car, and I assume it has pretty much everything a luxury car should have. Couple of small items.
The panel in a picture – I’m not sure what alloy this is, but it gets smudges on it really easily, and it’s very hard to clean. If anyone has any recommendations on best material to clean it with, I would appreciate it
When I break,occasionally I get a little bump from the car. It feels like it happens during a downshift. It doesn’t happen all the time, and I’m still observing this behavior.
The driver side seat massager is a good feature, but I wish they had one on the passenger side as well.
I cannot wait to tell my family that the camera view from above the car is taken by the little drone that the car launches from a roof. I am pretty sure I can sell it.
Finally, a little anecdote. Five hours after picking up the car from the dealership, I struck something on the side of the sidewalk and ripped the sidewall on my tire. A huge gash. Had to go to the dealership next morning to get a tire replaced. Thank God, I got the tire protection and negotiated the shit out of it, so the three-year tire protection cost recouped in the first 24 hours.
Love this car but man the trim drives me crazy sometimes. I often keep my left leg up instead of extended out to the dead pedal, and around every turn, I am gifted with these creaks. Anyone else find this obnoxious?
