Model Summaries
Genesis Electrified GV70
Only the 2026 model year exists so far, and it is too new to score, so there is no track record to lean on yet. Federal records show 1 recall for that year, and owners have filed no complaints. That silence mostly reflects time on the road, not proven reliability. Buyers should check the recall status on any car they look at and wait for more data before treating this midsize SUV as a safe bet.
Average score: 0/100. Best year: 2026 (0/100). 1 years tracked.
Genesis G70
A good used midsize sedan, though it ranks below average against other sedans on the site. The 2019 model is the one to watch, with touchscreens that freeze and fuel pump failures that leave cars without power on the highway. The 2024 model is the site's pick to buy, since it has been on the road long enough to judge.
Average score: 67/100. Best year: 2024 (75/100). 8 years tracked.
Genesis G80
Used G80 shoppers get a sedan that rates good overall and sits close to average among sedans. The 2018 model year is the one to watch, with a steering wheel that sticks in the turned position and a long wait for electrical recall parts. The 2024 is the safer pick, with very few owner complaints and more than two years on the road.
Average score: 69/100. Best year: 2024 (73/100). 9 years tracked.
Genesis GV60
Holding up well for a used SUV, the GV60 sits close to average among its rivals. The 2024 is the year to favor, since 2023 has the most complaints and the 2025 is too new to judge. The problem that matters most is the charging unit, where owners report a loud pop from the rear and a sudden loss of power, plus an instrument cluster that stays blank at startup.
Average score: 68/100. Best year: 2024 (69/100). 3 years tracked.
Genesis GV70
Sudden power loss is the problem to watch on the GV70. The car stalls in traffic or will not pass 30 to 40 mph, often with no warning light. Reliability standing is good but below average among SUVs. The 2022 is the year to avoid, the 2024 is the better buy, and warning lights that stay on are the second issue.
Average score: 63/100. Best year: 2024 (66/100). 5 years tracked.
Genesis GV80
Good on reliability, though below average next to other SUVs on the site. The 2024 is the year to buy, and no year looks clearly worse than the other. The issue to check is the electrical system: the car can lose all power while driving, and dealers often find no fault. Automatic emergency braking with nothing ahead is the second pattern.
Average score: 65/100. Best year: 2024 (65/100). 2 years tracked.
