Good, almost great vehicle
Loaded 2026 GV70 3.5, also had loaded 2025 GV80 3.5.
I have a couple quirks that may just be isolated: rattle (loose bolt now fixed), driver assistance malfunction warning (random), weird/unintuitive proximity fob function and just "meh" sound.
Rattle: benefit of the doubt this is a one-off and not typical manufacturing.
Warning: annoying, dealer can't consistently replicate. It shows up as a warning like a check engine notification but apparently not stored for diagnostics. Hoping this is a software fix.
Fob: dealer confirmed functioning as intended... but it's not great. When you approach a $75k car with a fob the mirrors should unfold, some lights should shine, and the vehicle should unlock when you put your hand on the handle. There's no rhyme or reason on this one...I mean zero. It can either lock, unlock, only unlock driver, activate on touch, handle pull, etc...
Sound: I found the GV80 luxurious and comfortable, but the performance was uninspiring, adequate, but even in sport+ you wouldn't throw it into a corner like some of the European competitors. I found the GV70 inspiring from a performance and handling perspective. I do wish, however, in sport+ it sounded inspiring as well. I know, I know, the market is luxury first, performance second... however I'd rather have sound deadening or even better exhaust settings like European competitors. The synthetic sound just isn't the same.
Don't misconstrue because I called out drawbacks, it's a very very good car... these are just the things holding it back from great, in my opinion.
