Which Genesis G70 years should you avoid?
No Genesis G70 model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Genesis G70 year has 26 complaints on file. The busiest year is the 2019 (62).
What are the best Genesis G70 years?
The Genesis G70 years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2020 (13), 2023 (21) and 2022 (31). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.
NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
