Hello.

This is Uniji, an automotive influencer.

I have been active in this field.

Since last January, various new models, including the new Tucson and the Genesis GV70

and the derivative model Genesis GV80 6-seater, have helped increase sales despite the semiconductor supply crisis.

I have seen sales grow.

However, the ongoing semiconductor shortage eventually led to the shutdown of the Asan plant, resulting in a sales decline of over 10% compared to the previous year in January.

The Asan plant halted operations from January 3 to 28 due to temporary suspension for electric vehicle production facility construction.

Of course, the Genesis brand vehicles also faced production delays due to the semiconductor supply issues.

However, Genesis reported over 10,000 units sold last month.

Among those, the Genesis G80 had the highest sales, followed by the GV70 and GV80.

Looking at the estimated delivery dates released around January, the delivery period for the Genesis GV70 ranges from about 4 months to over 7 months.

However, if you add options like a sunroof, second-row comfort package, or popular package, it will take an additional 3 to 4 weeks.

This trend is expected to continue similarly in February, according to industry news.

However, fortunately, the expected delivery dates for February show a slight reduction in delivery times, ranging from 3 to over 6 months, compared to January.

However, if you want a quicker delivery, you need to exclude the Driving Assistance 2 (HDA2) package.

Personally, I believe that HDA2 is a very useful technology for everyday driving, so I do not think it is advisable to give it up.

Anyway, I hope this information about the Genesis GV70's February delivery wait times helps you receive your vehicle without a long wait and enjoy a high-quality car soon.
