Great review and I like the comparison discussion.

Always enjoy the both of you and your reviews. This past week I had scheduled for my wife’s 2020 Hyundai Palisade Limited, an awesome vehicle in its own right, for regular service. She doesn’t usually go but this time she did because we had some other things to do. Unanticipated at all but we now own a 2022 Genesis GV70 2.5t white with the Sport Package and red/black interior. In the beginning she did not like the red and I loved it but now she does and she loves the 21 inch wheels. She loves black wheel and to me that are OK but I like theses. Had it four days now and the looks it gets. Got an amazing deal for an amazing vehicle. When we were shopping and found the Palisade we drove the Lexus RX and I was disappointed. Thanks for the video

I LOVE THE WHEELS!!!!! Something that's totally different, unique, and never seen before... That in itself is a major cool factor. A conversation piece if you will.

Good review thank you.

the pricing these reviewers used to compare to the X3 and Macan was wrong. GV70 Sport + is 75,500 while the equivalent GLC 43AMG, X3 40iM and Macan GTS are 86000 to 95000.

I would never look at the “starting base price” of the BMWs. They have them listed artificially low for just this type of comparison. It’s very bait-and-switch. I would strongly recommend building your BMW online to see the true sticker price. It’s like, “Oh, you want floor mats? That will be $400 extra.” A slight exaggeration, but the base model is usually very stripped down.

Correct. For every make/model I considered, I used the manufacturer's "build tool" to price out what I would want if I bought one.

It's great that you have the Nightlife segment. But I think it should include shots of the interior with the doors open, the 'puddle light' and even how the headlamps light a specific area.

It's a bit misleading to say the GV70 is more expensive than the German competition. If you compare comparably equipped models, that's certainly not true! The BMW is 84k, the Benz is 87k and the Porsche is over 100k. The fully loaded GV70 is 75k. Cheaper than we pay in Korea!

A half way loaded Macan in the US is in the high 80k range. Fully loaded GLC here can tap 80k and you might get vented seats. The M340i and the SQ5 are the only side by side here.

Plus, *some* dealers will offer *lifetime* drivetrain warranty at *no addtl charge*. No marketing here, just giving credit where credit is due. However, other dealerships were asking for multiple surcharges (+$5k over MSRP...uh, no thanks lol; ceramic coating for +$2.5k, that’s a no as well). I feel like the US Genesis dealerships are doing a great disservice to Genesis corporate... they’re still turning a profit at MSRP. They should be aiming to *make it easier* to lure people away from Audi/BMW/Mercedes. My last car was an Audi S5.

Great video review! I took delivery last week of a fully loaded 3.5T Sport Prestige (top trim level in the US). My car has a Uyuni White exterior with an Ultramarine Blue interior. The seats have a combination of Nappa leather (seat bolsters and headrests) with suede inserts, which is what comes with the Sport Prestige package here in the US (I live in Southern California). As far as I’m aware, the quilted leather seats like those in your test vehicle only come on the mid-level trims here in the US. I have to say that I absolutely love the interior and exterior design. On a side note: I left Mercedes-Benz because of the continuous problems with my car and the outrageously expensive maintenance costs once the warranty expired.

Florida law firm launches class-action suit against the Genesis GV80 The lawsuit alleges the luxury SUV has "dangerous defects" in its steering A Florida law firm specializing in consumer advocacy has filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Hyundai, claiming that the Genesis GV80 sport-utility is unsafe. Corwin Law, based in Boca Raton, filed the lawsuit on behalf of owners and lessees of the GV80, which launched as an all-new model for 2021. The lawsuit claims the automaker is “promoting the GV80 luxury SUV, despite being aware of dangerous defects affecting the vehicle’s driveability that are documented in Korean news media and current customer message boards.”

GV70 is the most competitive product Genesis has come out with. Once they figured out their lease payment and residual value, Acura and Infiniti will be the firsts to worry about them. Lexus is way more established than those 2. It will be even harder to come by than the already hot GV80.

Their designs are not the most sophisticated compared to Genesis and definitely not their interiors which screams Toyota. Lexus should be worried not Acua and Infiniti. The one saving grace for Lexus as usual is the only reason they sale the way they do...Reliability

As I stated below we just bought one. Dealership had 3 last week including ours sold all in 4 days.

I agree this is overpriced for higher trim for a new model. They need to do bit more to land their feet to competition. Interestingly when we say luxury it should have more luxury features to start with compared to the mainstream brands but these days luxury just seems to be a brand name as a lot of mainstream brands have those luxury features before getting to luxury price points. Either we are forgetting what luxury means or these days people have a lot of money or brand has become more driving factor where people allow company to charge them for they don’t need to pay. Anyway just a thought and many may not agree with me at all. Great review and Andrea generally touches the points I am really interested to know and Zack is very straight forward with his view and I like that. Keep going.

The Macan has been updated since this video, a Macan "S" now has 375 hp and starts at $70,600 Canadian. That makes this top-spec GV70 $5000 more. I like it but can't justify the price when a Porsche with similar horsepower and a few options would come out to the same money. The lower-spec GV70 might be the way to go. Great review as always :)

I found the review vague.

i'd like to see a comparison of the gv 70 base turbo to the subaru touring xt.

Here in the US the sweet spot for the GV70 is definitely the 2.5L turbo with the Select trim level ($45,000 USD) or the Advanced package ($49,150 USD). Compared to the Select package Advanced package adds only leather seating and a few features such as the blind spot monitor compared to the Select trim for a $4150 MSRP upcharge. Either, however, is a stunning value compared to the 3.5L V6 version (starting at an MSRP of $52,600) and European rivals. The new 3.5L 4 cylinder turbo deserves special attention as Hyundai/KIA/Genesis is deploying it in at least 7 vehicles as standard or optional. In the Korean version of the G70 the 0-60 time is around 6.4 seconds or better. The 3.5 L V6 is considerably quicker, of course, (about a second quicker) but with the base engine the 0-60 time is essentially equal to the Acura RDX and ample for a family SUV. Inexplicably, Genesis has chosen to leave the G70 sedan with the previous 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo it had shared with the KIA Stinger (now with the 2.5L turbo). Apparently, Genesis is putting their eggs in the SUV basket and ignoring the base version of the G70 sport sedan. That's no doubt based on the automaker's belief that SUVs will help improve the dismal sales of Genesis models but it's a shame to see the otherwise excellent G70 left in the dust.

Really interested in this car and its cargo space (with the rear seats folded down)... need to fit my 2 large dogs in it for road trips.

Beautiful. I just bought a Cadillac xt5 and really enjoy it. A turbo 4 cyl. Always wanted one Cadillac before going belly up. BUT if I had bought something else the gv70 would be it. The only thing I don't like are the fancy looking wheels. Not my cup of tea.

Very impressive car in every dimension save for the wheel design. I love that five spokes but what did they do to each spoke? And why? Alloys are one of the most ‘prone to get dirty and damage’ components on a car. Companies should design such parts that are easy to maintain and clean. And those patterns on the alloys on GV70 are completely opposite to this idea. What does Genesis want - that one should laminate the wheel or keep those as a show piece in their house? They appear amazing, majestic but is not appropriate choice on a wheel.

Excellent review. The one thing that I can't get over is people talking about sportiness. If you want a sporty car, buy one. This is still a crossover. The g70 is a luxury sports sedan. This is a bigger, taller, car for people who don't want to buy a minivan. If you just want sporty, buy a Miata. If you want to go off-road, buy a jeep. This is neither. It's a tall sedan. Pretty, but still almost a mini van.

I love the GV 70 but am concerned about the lack of dealer network. I live in Muskoka so the closest dealership is almost 2 hrs away. Yes they offer valet service but what does that mean??? Do they bring a flat bed? Do they just drive it back and forth?? So they are going to put 4 or 5 hundred Km on my vehicle to change the oil?? And how long does it take?? How hard is it to book an appointment??

had to agreed with Andrea, the burgundy color looks stunning especially when it is under the sun. Also, the wheels reminds me the croc skin leather shoes... they stand out but just not my cup of tea :)

I'm looking at the GV70 for purchase next year. Why would I choose the 3.5 over 2.5? Under what circumstances would I need "more power"? I know NOTHING about cars and trying to learn as much as I can before buying so no buyers remorse later. BTW..I live in the desert but surrounded by a lot of mountainous area. Thank you for your feedback!

My next car 👍

Yes I agree. The diamond shape accents on the wheels and rear cladding are just too much. I honestly prefer the non sport model exterior but would like option to add the 3-spoke steering wheel to that model

I put a deposit on one but pulled it after I heard about the class action lawsuit on the GV80. It drove like a dream and had everything I ever wanted.. but I don't want to deal with issues. I'll likely get a Lexus instead.. yes it's reliable but I'm not overly excited about it.

I'm glad Genesis got rid of the ipod wheel in the GV80 to a proper scroll wheel in this GV70. However, I think the transmission selector and the infotainment scroll wheel need to switch positions because it looks like you have to awkwardly reach over the transmission selector to use the infotainment wheel and you use the infotainment wheel a lot more often than the transmission selector. You could therefore rest your wrist on the edge of the armrest when using the infotainment scroll wheel; you can't rest your wrist on the transmission selector.

This looks great! Can imagine in a cooper or something like British Racing Green color, would be awesome to look at too! 😍😍

And you'll be standing behind a fat guy checking in his beater Elantra during your first visit to the Service Department. You'll impress him for sure...if that is any consolation.

@@andreaspencer9813 Update, I went one model further up and ordered the 2.5T Sport Prestige. Get in Dec or Jan :(

I really wanted to get this. But the lease costs monthly are ridiculous over 1100/month for 3. 5 68k Cdn. I fine with the 2.5 but need the 21 inch wheels (makes the exterior look). Bum'd out at the monthly lease costs... Anyone else agree here?

Great video demonstration, guys. Per your survey request: I really like the sporty look; Hate the Wheels;on the Top end Sport model ; I would wrestle with the 2.5T and the 3.5Twin Turbo, but do agree with Zach - the 2.5T offers enough power at 300HP and 311 Lbs of torque. I think the only thing that may be lacking is when you select various models to compare to. Are the picks all of the same general size and weight to the X3, Q5 or the RDX. The lbs weight / HP is a good ratio barometer for matching the amount of HP. So the vehicle has that Touch Wheel to control the Infotainment system (which looks fantastic BTW)? No Touch Screen?

Thanks glad you liked it and thanks for sharing. The screen is a touchscreen, you can control it at the centre console as well.

Frickin love the wheels

Do they do it in the cars too lol give a rating on the comeferablty and practicality of that

I like it but I’m not sure if it’s hybrid or other

Great Report and your analysis of the brand is strong. FYI, Genesis is not sold in France ( taxes, taxes, taxes...)

@@randyfine4535 i just watched the Throttle [thank you) the licence plate placement looks as bad as i thought it would .

I'm not colour blind and agree with Zac about the colour. Maybe it loses something on screen compared to in the metal. I would think those diamond cut outs in the wheels will catch a lot of dirt.

I'm not sure if Genesis vehicles will pull too many people who favor the German brands but definitely will attract customers who normally buy the Japanese or US brands. Better yet if people own Hyundais and are happy with them they might just graduate to the Genesis brand and most people I've spoken to that own a Hyundai or Kia absolutely love them.

What brand of tires it comes with?

Fantastic review team! You hit all the key things we want to know about this car. Agreed, the 2.5T Prestige trim would be the way to go. However, Genesis seems to have blown it when it comes to pricing at these trim levels. Why would I pay the same amount when I could get a Q5 or X3? Unfortunate to see Genesis continuing this trend so soon into their journey when they don't command the price points yet their rivals do.

Lol in the US, anyone would take a fully loaded gv70 over a q5 or x3 because it’s much cheaper. People would get the gv70 over the q5 or x3 even at the same price is because the gv70 is simply more luxury inside, better fit and finish, more tech, and more power.

That was my reaction to their pricing too. Genesis is making great cars but they need to stop acting like they’re already an established player like the Germans and Lexus. They’re not going to dethrone the big boys with this kind of pricing. Should be undercutting Acura for that matter. Great car, wrong price.

Yes but 2.5 t doesn't get you the 21 big wheels which in my opinion make the look of this car (like a Macan)

Hurrah for the knock on quilted interiors! Every time I see one I'm reminded of the sofa in my grandmother's living room in 1955!

I’m either getting the 2.5T advance or 2.5T sports. 3.5T is awesome but over kill for us.

I just reserved the 2.5T Advance. I drove the 3.5T and it was really nice, but I do not need the power and the included options, which I do not need.

The exterior styling is growing on me, but I don’t like the downward sloping side character line. Overall though nice offering. I agree that the pricing should undercut the established Germans to make a splash. Great review as always!

I saw a fully loaded one like your tester last week in a parking lot. Beautiful SUV! Would definitely pick the fully loaded GV70 over the competition if $ was no object.
