5 Things to Know Before Buying a Genesis GV70 in Westchester

1. All-Wheel Drive and 300 Horsepower Are Standard Equipment

In many luxury utility vehicles, the advertised performance numbers and cold-weather capabilities require stepping through multiple optional packages or higher trims. With the GV70, baseline engineering is already performance-tuned:

• Standard 2.5T Engine: Produces a stout 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, giving you immediate throttle response for parkway merging without needing to upgrade engines.
• Full-Time AWD: Every GV70 arrives equipped with standard electronically controlled All-Wheel Drive, paired with selectable Terrain Modes to handle unpredictable Northeast winters.
• Optional 3.5T Twin-Turbo V6: For enthusiast drivers seeking heightened acceleration, the 3.5T Sport bumps output to 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque.

2. High-Tech Cockpit Balanced with Physical Tactile Dials

A frequent complaint on owner forums regarding modern luxury cabins is the elimination of physical buttons in favor of confusing, fingerprint-prone touchscreen menus. Genesis addresses this by blending cutting-edge visual displays with purposeful, tactile controls:

• 27-Inch Curved OLED Display: A seamless widescreen combines driver instruments and infotainment in a single crisp, high-resolution panel with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Dedicated Knurled Dials: Climate controls, audio volume, and infotainment navigation feature physical knobs with textured metal finishes, allowing you to make adjustments intuitively without taking your eyes off the road.
• Acoustic Insulation: Acoustic laminated windshield and door glass paired with active cabin sound isolation significantly reduce tire hum and traffic noise along the Bronx River Parkway.

3. Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview

Suburban roads in the Northeast often endure seasonal frost heaves, expansion joints, and uneven asphalt. Available on higher GV70 configurations, Genesis’s Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview utilizes a forward-facing camera to scan the pavement ahead:

• The system reads bumps, potholes, and surface irregularities milliseconds before the tires reach them.
• Damping stiffness automatically softens or firms up to isolate the cabin, delivering a composed, flat ride over rough patches without sacrificing cornering grip.

4. Industry-Leading Factory Warranty Protection

One of the strongest differentiators highlighted by long-term Genesis owners is factory warranty support. Where many European luxury automakers limit factory coverage to 4 years or 50,000 miles, Genesis provides sustained factory protection:

5. Genesis Service Valet via Genesis of White Plains

A vehicle ownership experience is defined just as much by how it is serviced as how it drives. At Genesis of White Plains—a proud member of the family-owned Pepe Auto Group, serving Westchester County drivers since 1968—ownership includes the Genesis Service Valet program for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles:

• Home or Office Pickup: A dedicated valet driver retrieves your vehicle directly from your driveway or workplace.
• Complimentary Genesis Loaner: A replacement Genesis is left for your personal use so your daily routine continues uninterrupted.
• Return Delivery: After factory maintenance is completed, your vehicle is returned freshly washed and serviced, completely bypassing time spent in a dealership waiting lounge.
