The 2024 drew 17 complaints, or 5.7 per 10,000 sold, against 42.8 for the 2022 and 21.7 for the 2023. It has also been on the road long enough to build a real record. Power train complaints still exist, including acceleration cutting out while merging, so check the car's recall status before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Genesis GV70 years should I avoid?
Avoid the 2022. It has the most complaints, 82, and the highest rate per car sold. Sudden power loss, fuel pump failures, and drivetrain problems lead the list. The 2023 is weaker than later years but is not flagged as a year to avoid.
Which Genesis GV70 year is best to buy used?
The 2024 is the best used buy. Its complaint rate is a fraction of the 2022 and 2023 rates. The 2025 also rates well, but it has had less time on the road, so its record is thinner.
Does the Genesis GV70 have transmission problems?
Drivetrain complaints exist, but they are not the main issue. The 2022 has reports of grinding, whining, a refusal to shift, and a transfer case failure at 7,025 miles. One 2024 owner reported a shifter slipping from drive to neutral while moving.
Why is the 2022 Genesis GV70 a year to avoid?
It has the highest complaint rate and the most serious symptoms. The car can stall in traffic or get stuck at 25 to 40 mph with no warning light. Some owners were told fuel pumps had failed and then waited on backordered parts.
Is the 2023 Genesis GV70 a good choice?
It is a middle option. Owner complaints for the 2023 run well below the 2022 but above the 2024, and power train problems still lead. Choose it only if the price is clearly lower than a 2024 and the recall work is done.
