r/GenesisGV70

Recently bought a 2025 gv70 and I do not have wireless CarPlay. Would anyone be able to guide me on how to update it? Please provide me with a link if possible.

Hiya Folks - owner of a 2023 CPO GV70 2.5T and just brought it in for its first oil change. They tried charging me $450 for a 40k mile service, which is really just a oil change and tire rotation. I requested they do just the oil change and even then, at $189, its steep imo. The most infuriating part is that I bought one of those NFC Genesis cards and asked them to program it - they said it would be $300. . .

Anyway, how many of you do your own oil changes and light maintenance? Any issues, concerns, etc? I am familiar with oil changes and been doing it on my other cars for awhile now. I brought it in primarily due to it being a CPO and wanting to have it documented.

Also, what oil do you use?

Hello everyone, I’m in the market for a performance SUV that’s reliable. I currently have an Infiniti FX50S which I love and would keep if the mileage wasn’t an issue. It’s now At 165K miles and I know it’s a matter of time before serious service makes it not worth it. The specs when this came out was solid and for the most part in class if it wasn’t for branding. 5.0L V8, superb AWD, I know it had a 50/50 torque split but because it’s based on the Infiniti G sedan platform, a majority of the power is sent to the rear which makes for better handling, active rear wheel suspension, etc. I’ve owned the car for years and the only expensive maintenance was a new radiator and Misfire. I don’t want an X5, GL, or any of the Audi SQ SUVs because no way am taking those to 100K miles. I would love a grand Cherokee SRT but those are getting stolen left and right. But I keep seeing these. Anyways, anyone’s experience? Has this vehicle scratched the performance/suv practicality and features itch?

Thanks in Advance!

Can I buy a battery for a 2023 GV70 2.5T online? Tried local NAPA parts store, they brought out a battery but the terminals were swapped and won't work.

Does anyone know for sure the exact battery I need? I'd hate to buy it online only for it to be the wrong one.

Car is dead in the water and I do not want to tow to the dealer (very far away) just to change the battery.

Hi guys,

As previously some posts stated, I think Genesis Finance doesn't let a lease transfer. I still have 7 months of lease ahead with a $628/m payment. My deal is good and the car is excellent but I will be traveling this summer out of country, so I prefer not to pay more just to keep her in my garage.

I am in Los Angeles, CA
2025 GV70 Electrified on $8500 miles
Sevil Gray ext, White interior
Excellent condition, covered garage, no pets/kids/smoke

Current buyout $50K
Residual $43K
Monthly $628

If any one interested anytime, my aim is just exiting the lease without any loss. I would pay until the end but as I say, it is meaningless as I will have longer travel plans this summer.

PS: Free Electrify America charging (19 months left) but I don't know if it is transferrable.

Any other feedback is also welcome.

Looking to buy a Genesis GV70 in the GTA and wanted to see what kind of deals people are currently getting from dealerships.

Has anyone recently purchased or leased one? Curious about:

- Discounts off MSRP

- Lease vs finance deals right now

- Dealer add-ons to avoid

- Which GTA Genesis dealers are best to work with

- Real-world reliability and ownership experience

- Maintenance/service experience with Genesis valet service

Also, anything specific I should be asking before signing?

For example:

- Extended warranty worth it or not?

- Winter tire packages

- Fuel economy in real-world driving

- Insurance costs in Ontario

- Common issues or things owners regret

Thanks!

Hi there! After months of researching and testing cars, I’ve decided to go with an electrified GV70. Love the way the car drove and also big fan of how it looks

It seems like all the electrified GV70s I can find are the base model. I would love to purchase an advanced trim but I seem unable to find a single one. I also want to purchase the 2026 model due to the higher range.

Does anyone have any leads for finding a 2026 advanced or prestige trim/has anyone seen any available recently?? I live in Los Angeles but would be willing to see if it can be shipped

Is your insurance more or less if you paid off your loan with the finance company?

Is it true that other oil change places besides the dealership find it difficult to change the oil in the 3.5 GV70 Genesis?

Usually, I use Apple CarPlay, but yesterday it wouldn't connect, so I used Genesis' native Bluetooth audio and noticed my music sounded significantly better (surround sound, clearer audio) than when using CarPlay. Today, I wanted to see if it was just a fluke, so I connected via wired CarPlay, and the sound was instantly lower quality. Does anyone have any experience with the "Surround" only working through their native integration?

Based on my experience, I will skip CarPlay altogether because the audio sounds distinctly better via OEM integration. The nav isn't the greatest, but I can deal with that.

EDIT: Here's the exact click path to fix it:

Settings, Sound, connected device volumes, Apple CarPlay, speaker icon at top, switch from Reference to Surround.

Do people actually add fuel additive as part of their scheduled maintenance? I'm looking at the first 3 scheduled maintenances done at dealerships and they didn't add it during any of the services.

GV70 2.5 SP 2026 2777 miles on it.
In case someone would be interested. I drove in total 4 hours plus some time around the town - around 295 miles. Average consumption was 23-24 mpg. I left with 93% of the tank and came back home with 8%. Comfort mode. 93 premium gas. $67 to refill to full.

Overall very pleased with the experience as the car felt nice and comfortable in difficult weather conditions (pouring rain non stop for almost 2 hrs, flooded areas, strong winds in some areas) and it was very quiet inside.
She came back home almost clean (except for the rear part lol).

In my opinion taking into consideration weather conditions gas mileage was great. And we didn’t buy her for the gas mileage anyway 😆
