Years to avoid, with the reasons →Best on the record 2023

On the filed record so far, the 2023 is the cleanest G70 year we hold, and the 2019 the one to check hardest. The 2019 carries a standing park-outside or do-not-drive advisory, which outranks every other number on this page.

Both figures are divided by the number of years the car has been on sale, because otherwise the oldest year on the page loses every time simply for having been around longer. The current model year and any year under three on the road are left out: their records are not finished.

Source: EPA, NHTSA and manufacturer press kits

Which Genesis G70 year is the best used buy?

On the recall record, the 2023 G70 comes out top of the years before the current one: Safety Signal grade A (92/100), 1 recall and 24 owner complaints on file. That ranks paperwork, not condition — a specific car's history and service record still decide it.

What Genesis G70 years should I avoid?

2019, 2020, 2021 have the weakest recall records in this range — one carries an active park-outside or do-not-drive advisory. The year pages list every campaign, its severity and whether a repair exists yet. Every G70 model year ranked, with the reasons.

How many recalls does the Genesis G70 have?

Across model years 2019–2027, NHTSA has posted 15 recall campaigns for the Genesis G70. They are counted per model year in the table above, because a campaign almost never covers the whole run — it covers a build range.
