2026 Genesis GV70 Review
I purchased my 2026 Genesis GV70 Sport Prestige new, trading in a 2024 Porsche Macan T. I have also owned multiple Audi's previously. I purchased the 4-cyclinder model vs the V6 as I felt the additional horsepower was not needed, the 4-cyclinder was plenty quick enough for me! The SUV is very comfortable, I've taken multiple trips at 6+ hours, one was 10+ hours and no fatigue! The features on the Sport Prestige are great. Not necessarily on mine, but for the V6 Sport Prestige that is $72k, Heated and Ventilated seats in the 2nd row should be available. My Sport Prestige was $60k, and the only differences between mine and the V6 is heated rear seats, HUD, Nappa leather, adaptive suspension and 70 additional horsepower; $12k is a lot for just those few differences in my opinion. For $72k, you should get ventilated rear seats and passenger massage function. My only con on the 2026 GV70 is the hood. The front of the hood does overlap over the front end, though you don't really notice it after a little while. My main con with the hood is that it does shake at highway speeds and you can see it while driving, so it is a little distracting. I have not, nor have I heard of anyone having any issues with the hood popping up or anything; so my complaint is more asthestic. Otherwise, I truly love the SUV and I mean that! The Porsche Macan I had previously was the GV70's main competitor to me, and the GV70 wins in almost every category! The Porsche was a more fun driving experience in Sport+ mode; but honestly for an SUV and having kids how often are you in Sport+? The comfort, features, price, warranty, and the GV70 is still quick; GV70 wins all day to me!
