That thing is straight porsche 928
That’s what I thought, too.
I definitely see the resemblance to 928, but the C-pillar it self has a kink in it that almost resembles a floating pillar like in the Nissan designs. The port window design is much like a 928, but looks like they took the headlights from the jaguar E Pace and threw them in there.
The broken line that continues through the c pillar from A pillar just completely distracts me. It was elegant up until that point.
Do you mean the chrome spear at the C-pillar? I don’t see much of a kink in the C-pillar itself.
And, yes, I do find the kink the chrome trim unnecessarily busy. I know @StingerTT loves the exhaust pipes, but I find both the Sport and Lux versions to be… ungainly.
BTW, is that just a heating element that’s in the rear-most side window (very visible in exterior shot 4)?
Damn. Hyundai/Genesis just keep killing it. At this rate, they’ll put Infiniti out of business in no time.
Infiniti is doing a fine enough job putting itself out of business.

the front of Volvo and the rear of Porsche.
This is true. I doubt the QX60 was even part of the benchmarking process for Genesis. It’s clearly a cheaper product at a cheaper price point.
What Genesis is going to do is put a lot of pressure on the other near-luxury cars that have been coasting for a long time.
Lexus RX and the joke “L”
Acura MDX (the new one)
GMC Acadia (GM’s idea of luxury is vomiting chrome everywhere)
Buick Enclave (larger size will retain some buyers, rest will flee)
Etc
when do we expect this to be avail in the USA?
The GV80 has been on the ground for months.
Still true. See also
wait isnt this the GV70 thread?
Most recent speculation is Summer.
Yup sorry. I see almost 1600 gv70s (not 80s) on the ground now
Are you confusing G70s with GV70s?

I am dying for a GV70 3.5T Sports Prestige. I live in NYC and am petrified of 21" wheels. Some dealer websites describe the car as a Sport model, but because of the price, I know it is a Sport Prestige. The dealer descriptions say 19" rims with P235/55R19 tires, but the window sticker shows the 21" rims. Unfortunately, I think the 21" rims are a deal breaker. Is it possible to get the Sports Prestige with 19" rims? As far as I can see, it is not. I’m hopeful for good news…
What have you found when you build the car on genesis website?
Also keep in mind that the gv70 leases horribly, so you’re way better off purchasing one, in which case it may be easiest to just buy some 19" wheels
Exactly.
- Buy the car.
- Purchase aftermarket 19” wheels of your choice
- Sell OEM 21”s
- Profit.

The Genesis website, like most others, doesn’t tell you tire sizes, only rim sizes. Very annoying. I know Genesis’ lease terribly, but if I have to, I can wait until December for a car, in hopes they get better. This is why swapping tires/rims isn’t a good option for me, but thanks all.
This, of course, is irrelevant to your question about if the sport prestige came with 21" wheels, which the website does tell you.
I kept looking for a loophole so I can have my GV70. Not going to happen. Thanks everyone.
