Hey everyone! I just officially joined the Genesis family last week and picked up a brand new GV70 in Mauna Red with the Ultramarine Blue interior. Honestly, I’m still in that phase where I’m terrified to even track a single piece of dust inside because the cabin just looks so premium and well-designed. The materials are top-notch, especially that quilted leather, but now that the initial 'new car high' is settling in, I’m starting to think about practicality and long-term protection.
I really want to protect the interior without making it look cheap or cluttered. I’ve been looking at some all-weather floor mats because the factory carpet ones seem like they’ll be a nightmare to keep clean during the rainy season. Does anyone have experience with TuxMat versus the official Genesis ones? I’ve heard TuxMats cover more of the side walls, which sounds great for keeping the carpet pristine, but I don't want them to look too "industrial" for a luxury SUV.
Also, that massive infotainment screen is a total fingerprint magnet! Has anyone found a high-quality tempered glass screen protector that doesn't ruin the display quality or the touch sensitivity? I’m also looking for some clever storage solutions for the center console since it’s a bit shallow, and maybe a subtle protector for the door sills to prevent scuffs when getting in and out.
I’m willing to spend a bit more for quality—I really don’t want to throw $20 generic plastic accessories into a car that feels this high-end. My budget for a few key items is probably around $500 to start.
For those of you who have had your GV70 for a while, what are the 'must-have' interior accessories that actually add value or protection? Are there any specific brands you swear by that match the Genesis aesthetic perfectly?
For your situation, safety first!! Loose items are dangerous. I suggest the OEM Genesis GV70 Envelope Style Cargo Net because it secures your gear so nothing slides while driving. It's gonna be fantastic!!
Seconding the recommendation above for those TuxMat Floor Mats for Genesis GV70. I've had mine for over a year and they honestly look like an extension of the floor rather than some chunky rubber addition. If you're looking to protect the door sills without making it look cluttered, I highkey suggest getting some XPEL Door Sill Clear Universal Paint Protection Film. It's basically invisible but stops those annoying scuffs from shoes and boots.
Since you mentioned the $500 budget, here is how I'd prioritize for max value:
1. Floor protection: Stick with the TuxMats.
2. Hidden storage: Look into the BestEvMod for Genesis GV70 Lower Console Organizer to actually use that dead space under the bridge.
3. Cleaning: Instead of a thick screen protector, maybe just keep a The Rag Company Eagle Edgeless 500 Microfiber Towel in the side pocket for those fingerprints... works like a charm.
The Mauna Red/Ultramarine combo is sick btw, dont over-clutter it with too much plastic tho! gl!

Yo, I totally get the "new car high"!! Honestly, TuxMat is the way to go because they offer 100% laser-measured coverage that seals the carpet edge-to-edge, unlike the OEM ones which lack vertical wall protection. Plus, the TuxMat finish matches the premium GV70 texture SO well... its basically a must-have for that Mauna Red beauty!! 👍
sooo i totally get that "new car" fear! you gotta balance protection with that luxury vibe. I would suggest:
1. Mats: TuxMat Floor Mats for Genesis GV70 – they look more like premium leather than industrial rubber.
2. Screen: Spigen GLAS.tR Slim Screen Protector for Genesis GV70 – it actually stops fingerprints.
3. Storage: Vesul Center Console Organizer Tray – makes the console way more usable.
it wont look cheap, i think these are your best bet!
