2025 Genesis GV70
The 2025 Genesis GV70 offers a compelling blend of luxury and performance, but used car shoppers should proceed with informed caution. While it boasts a 5-star overall safety rating from NHTSA, customer complaints and recalls highlight specific areas of concern. The premium-fueled 3.5L V6 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive delivers capable performance, achieving an EPA-estimated 20 MPG combined. However, a significant number of complaints focus on the electrical system, service brakes, and engine, with some critical failures reported at very low mileage. Genesis issued four recalls, primarily for the instrument cluster software, indicating potential systemic electronic issues. Given these factors, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is paramount.
