October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Genesis of Smithtown is committed to supporting this vital cause. Our staff has been wearing pink in solidarity with those battling breast cancer. This month, we proudly sponsored and attended the LI Pink Rocks Broadway event at the Paramount in Huntington, NY, showing our dedication to raising awareness. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Competition Automotive Group (@competitionautogroup) We are partnering with Pink Aid, the only national non-profit organization that provides compassionate support and urgent financial assistance to breast cancer patients. They cover essential expenses like transportation to treatment, groceries, and other basic needs. There are many ways to support Pink Aid: consider donating, participating in their collaborative events such as the Stop and Shop Community Bag Program in Westport, or supporting the Jericho Wholesale and Shell "POWER UP for Pink Aid." Plus, for every purchase of DR Neon Pink guitar strings from DR Strings, a portion of the proceeds goes to Pink Aid. Together, we can raise awareness and support those affected by breast cancer this October. Join us in making a difference!

In the competitive landscape of premium crossovers, a new contender has emerged to challenge the established titans—meet the 2024 Genesis GV70. Korean automaker Genesis is making waves, demonstrating that it can go toe-to-toe with German luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi. With its blend of luxury, style, and performance, the GV70 is proving that it deserves a spot at the table of premium vehicles. A Closer Look at the 2024 GV70 Introduced as a 2022 model, the GV70 has undergone minimal changes for 2024, retaining its allure while incorporating subtle upgrades in wheel options, audio systems, and safety technologies. This compact crossover offers two robust engine options: the 2.5T with a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four producing 300 horsepower, and the 3.5T featuring a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that cranks out a commanding 375 horsepower. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and come equipped with all-wheel drive, ensuring a thrilling yet refined driving experience. Luxury Meets Value One of the standout features of the GV70 is its competitive pricing. Starting at $46,500 for the base 2.5T Standard trim, it offers a comprehensive suite of standard features, including a hands-free rear liftgate, dual-zone climate control, and a host of advanced safety technologies. The 3.5T Sport Prestige trim still represents excellent value in comparison to its German counterparts, which can often stretch well beyond that price point. Trim Levels and Features The GV70 comes in four trim levels—Standard, Select, Advanced, and Sport Prestige—allowing buyers to choose a model that fits their preferences for luxury and performance. Our experience with the 3.5T tester showcased an impressive array of features: from luxurious leather upholstery and heated front seats to a panoramic sunroof and a state-of-the-art Lexicon premium sound system. The available Sport Advanced and Sport Prestige packages enhance the vehicle with even more luxury touches, including larger alloy wheels, advanced parking assist features, and a stunning 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Driving Dynamics Behind the wheel, the GV70 impresses with its smooth twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, which offers effortless power for city driving and highway merging. Acceleration to 60 mph in just five seconds speaks volumes about its performance capabilities, particularly in a class where swift maneuvers are often essential. The well-tuned suspension balances comfort and handling, providing a ride that feels both luxurious and engaging. The responsive steering and supportive front seats make long drives enjoyable, while the rear seating, although versatile with a split-folding design, may feel a bit snug for adult passengers when the front seats are fully adjusted. As Genesis continues to carve its niche in the premium crossover market, the 2024 GV70 stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to quality, luxury, and performance. With its competitive pricing and an impressive feature set, the GV70 is not just an alternative to German luxury vehicles—it’s a serious contender that invites drivers to rethink their loyalties. For those in Smithtown and beyond looking for a premium crossover that combines style, comfort, and value, the Genesis GV70 is well worth a test drive. Experience the evolution of luxury and discover what it means to drive a Genesis.

Versatile Design: Available as a traditional SUV or a sleek fastback coupe, the GV80 caters to different tastes, although the coupe sacrifices some rear headroom for added style.
