Genesis put their soul of engineering and style into this car
I now have over 12,000 miles on my GV70, the Prestige model with Select package, Advanced Package, Sport Prestige Package and a few others. I looked at the Porche Macan which had less room inside and would have cost $40,000 more for all the technology and options I got. After a year I still feel it is the best-looking compact luxury car on the road. The car is full of technology that unlike so many others in its class is very intuitive to use. Many functions can be accessed in multiple ways, buttons, touchscreen, verbal. There are numerous customizations for individual drivers. I am still finding new tech features just about every week. I have the 4-cylinder turbo, 300 HP. Over the past 6,000 plus mile I have averaged 26.1 MPG mostly on regular and mid-grade gas. I experimented with all three grades and have not found any meaningful difference between premium and regular even though premium is preferred according to the manual. The difference in acceleration is minimal. There is a very slight turbo lag when accelerating hard from a stop. Using the Sport or Sport plus settings take most of this away and offer an exhilarating drive experience. This model came with the 21 inch, 40 series side wall tires (the very grippy rubber that typically wears out in 25,000 miles and gives a stiffer ride). I was able to get the dealer to switch the wheels and tires to the 19inch 235/55 Michelin's from the model just below the Sport Prestige. Downsides are the lack of decent storage space under the trunk floor mat as well as the side compartments in the doors. Both less than the 2013 Hyundai Sport SUV it replaced. While I love the looks of the rear of the car, like so many other SUV's there really is no bumper so if you get hit in the rear even at 5 mph it's going to be big buck to fix.
