Genesis 2025 reliability: Consumer Reports ranking and key issues

Genesis may sell premium cars, yet its dependability remains modest in Consumer Reports’ 2025 reliability ranking: the brand places 14th out of 22. In 2024 it fared even worse at 18th, so the uptick is there, though it is hardly a breakthrough for a marque with luxury ambitions.

In practical terms, Genesis sits closer in points to Rivian, which finished last, than to Subaru, which led the 2025 reliability table ahead of Lexus, Toyota, Honda, and Acura. That spread underscores how much consistency still separates Genesis from the class leaders.

Looking at individual models, the picture is mixed. The GV80 and GV60 land squarely mid-pack for reliability. The GV70 and G70 draw the sharpest criticism, with the G70—the entry in the range—earning the lowest score of any Genesis in the lineup.

The brand’s main trouble spots involve rear differential failures and frequent electronic glitches, issues that weigh heavily on the overall reliability verdict and dull the shine of otherwise premium offerings.
