2022 Genesis G70 Shooting Brake Review - 40% more Trunk Space!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Yes, Genesis has released the Genesis G70 Shooting Brake last year in some European countries. But it has been released recently in Korea, why so late? Well, that’s because the wagons or shooting brakes just do not sell as well in Korea. And when I talked to the Genesis spokeswomen, she told me, yes, the shooting brake was made with the European market in mind, but it was just made for European market. So, here we are today, test driving the 2022 Genesis G70 Shooting Brake, so let’s go for a quick spin and see what the shooting brake, estate or wagon feels like.

@@christianmbabazi9722 No...wagons do not sell here in the US because of the appetite for SUVs/CUVs. It's unfortunate. Every now and then a manufacturer will try, but no go. You can still get a Volvo wagon here, and Audi has a couple, and Mercedes, but these are all very niche vehicles. A couple are performance based while the others are considered all terrain or a luxury wagon. Most of them are well north of $60k. In reality, these are much safer than an SUV because of a lower center of gravity. It is inevitable to see SUVs that have flipped in accidents. People have a false sense of security while driving them.
I’m glad wagons are making their way back! I used to drive a Volvo 850 wagon and I really like the Audi wagon but the Genesis is Way more affordable! Also they handle better than most SUV’s and is low enough to install a roof capsule and perhaps get better gas mileage as well. Congratulations to you and your crew and channel Charlie!

Thanks Gene.
I most definitely prefer the shooting brake to the sedan. It looks nicer too. One reason I may pick an SUV over a wagon is because I live in Nigeria and the country is riddled with bad roads. The GV70 for example has better ground clearance which helps with the tackling of the bad roads compared to the low sitting G70.

Congrats on 200k. That is quite the accomplishment. Even more so for a channel dedicated to mostly Korean cars for an English speaking audience. Kirk Kreifels has a channel (US based though) that is dedicated to Asian cars (Japanese, Korean and some Chinese like Volvo/Polestar), so he has enough content for daily videos and he's still a good ways from 200k. Your hard work has paid off. As for the Genesis shooting break, the rear looks surprisingly a lot like the GV60...

Congrats on 200k subscribers - you are one of the only channels (in English) that feature all the wonderful cars coming out of Korea. It's your channel that I first saw the 2023 Genesis G90, and I have been in love with the car ever since (sadly, not available in Canada.... plus I can't afford to spend $130KCAD on a car). Thank you for the amazing content, and giving people on the other side of the Pacific a glimpse into cars that we wouldn't normally get to see. The shooting break G70 looks really good... arguably better than the Volvo V90 wagon. I hope there is enough demand from the North American market to see the wagon/shooting break style cars brought over.

Outstanding review. I have a request. I would like to see some more details of the seat padding and its width along with the leg room on the reviews. All the gadgets in the world don't help if the driver isn't comfortable. I've had some cars that are very comfortable until you've been driving for a few hours and then your legs, back and bottom are raw. There seems to be a trend in hard seat padding and narrow seats to make room for larger consoles. Thank you for reading my comment.

2022 Genesis G70 Shooting Brake has a sleek look, would compare with BMW, Mercedes & Audi favorably ... Am one who does not like red color anything in a vehicle ... In USA stationwagons/shooting brakes were big in 50's, 60's and 70's ... Early 80's mini vans overshadowed them. And now, suv's/crossovers dominate ... Slainte' ! Cheers !
Same problem here in the US. Everyone is convinced they need some sort of sport utility or crossover utility vehicle. As much as I would make the GV70 or GV80 my first ever suv, this shooting brake would be in my driveway if they ever brought it here.

I definitely like it better than the sedan. I'd call it a hatchback, not a wagon though because a wagon should really have side windows in the cargo area. I like what they're trying with the taillights but think they'd have pulled it off better if the entire top (or bottom) section was the turn signal and the other the stop/tail.

If this ever does come to the US. It NEEDS the 3.3TT or it will fall flat. E63S, RS6 Avant, etc are not just usable luxury wagons, but they are fast too so having a luxury wagon like the shooting brake with just the 2.0T here would be a waste. Would love if we could get the 3.5T with the EV Supercharger in the G70. All that power shouldn't be locked in just the G90.

Probably won't be a thing due to Genesis (and Hyundai and Kia, for that matter) now committing their entire research and development on EV's, so a wagon/estate Genesis EV model seems to be a lot more plausible for the future.
