To GV80 owners and those that test driven them, what interesting quirks, features and functions have you discovered so far? Genesis included a lot and sharing our experience here will be a great way speed up the learning curve.
I'll share. After 10 days ownership of my GV80, the most interesting quirk I've discovered is the huge disappointment that SiriusXM Travel Link (weather/fuel prices) is not available. Genesis replaced it with HD Radio Data which is apparently only available in major metro areas. Unable to find much info, but apparently leaves 95% of the country without any service. So to my mind Genesis has inexplicably "bricked" this highly desirable service. Haven't been able to find an Android Auto work around. Can anyone shed light on this change? Can we lobby to get it back?
I ordered this last Jan and still haven’t taken delivery. Not sure I can deal with this tightness on longer drives. Mixed feelings. Dealer not pushing me yet.
Hello all , had a gv 80 for almost 15 days now . I have the prestige class. I don’t know if it’s me but i feel the driver seat quite stiff and uncomfortable. Feeling that if there was two stones under the seat leather ! Anyone experiencing the same !?
Found out something new over the weekend. It was the first time I drove my GV80 at 80+ mph. When I hit 80 mph the side bolsters on my driver's seat tightened up automatically (in the same fashion as if I put the driver's setting in Sport mode). When my speed dropped below 70 mph the bolsters automatically loosened up again. I had no idea it would automatically tighten and loosen on its own as you speed up and slow down, an interesting feature!
I’ve noticed that if I keep my drivers side thermostat set to 70 that the Idle Stop and Go never engages. It’s still on but never turns the car off. Perhaps for those that don’t like ISG try setting the passenger side to 70 when in the car alone might help if you don’t want your side that low.
Interesting, actually yesterday my wife turned it down to 70 and I noticed the car was shutting down at some of the traffic lights. I think the ISG uses a lot of factors that determine whether it shuts down or not when stopped.
That's interesting, how much in advance of your appointment did it ask you that question? Did it factor in how much in advance you would have to leave to get to your destination on time (based on the distance to your destination)?
Was it a Google calendar?
If you hit park button, then engine off button, all 4 doors unlock. If you hit engine off button first, the car will automatically shift to park, but the 2 rear doors stay in the locked position till you either use key fob or door control to release?
Does anyone know how to manage the maintenance needed alert that shows up. I have 7months and 3000 miles on car and just got a reminder that I was 2 days overdue- should toggle in at 8000 miles- any way to reset to 8000?
Above: “Does anyone know how to manage the maintenance needed alert that shows up. I have 7months and 3000 miles on car and just got a reminder that I was 2 days overdue- should toggle in at 8000 miles- any way to reset to 8000?“
My understanding is that the interval should for the GV80 should be 6 months or 7500 miles, whichever comes first.
When I use the hold button , while waiting at a light and the car in front of me moves away and I'm not paying attention the GV80 chimes and shows me on dash that the front car has moved.
