Buying Tips for 2024 Genesis GV70

  • Test the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), particularly the Highway Driving Assist, to ensure smooth operation without phantom braking.
  • Check the operation of the rotary gear selector and the infotainment dial; they look similar and can be confusing initially.
  • Inspect the large, intricately designed alloy wheels for curbing, as they are very susceptible to damage on narrow UK roads.
  • Verify that all over-the-air (OTA) software updates have been applied to keep the complex infotainment running smoothly.
  • Listen for wind noise around the panoramic sunroof (if fitted) at motorway speeds.
  • On diesel models, verify that the car has been used for long journeys to prevent DPF blockages.
