Went from a '21 G70 to a '25 G70
Why is Genesis increasing prices while removing features? Initially, I was looking at '26 models, and found that all the top-level options my '21 had were removed. No more quilted leather, no more heated rear seats, the interior a major downgrade.
Luckily we found a new '25 still on a lot within 100 miles. While it wasn't our first choice of interior color, we went with this one instead. At least it still has the nicer interior with quilted leather, although Genesis had killed the rear seat heaters already. Why? What is the point of removing the features while raising prices? It used to be that Genesis was the way to get more features at better pricing than competitors. Now that Genesis is reversing that, what is the point?
And now learning the G70 is going away and all Genesis will make are giant land yachts and SUVs, I am done as a Genesis customer. The G70 is the largest I will go. Keep it around, make a smaller car or a two door sporty coupe and I stay. But I didn't want a G80 or G90, and that won't change. I don't want an SUV, don't care about EVs.
So Genesis is on a path for new customers while telling existing Genesis customers to kick rocks. So it appears this is my last Genesis.
