Had a '22 G70 that I loved to death. Great performance and great quality for the price. On the East Coast I had no issues in New York or Florida with servicing the vehicle and they honored the valet pickup and everything. Moved to the PNW and had problems with the dealerships. 6 month wait for routine service, no valet opportunity, and just a bad attitude from everyone. Then got into an accident and couldn't get any parts to repair the vehicle (only dealership nearby wouldn't even send in the order and also they're splitting from Hyundai dealer network so they won't have parts for service). My insurance ended up totaling the car. Ruined the experience for me, I would consider it if I moved back to the East Coast again. Dealership experience is a big factor for many people and Genesis is still lacking in that part, but they make great cars.

Man that's 4 zonks before you even stepped inside the car. Probably the most zonks I ever seen you hand out. Anyways I have a 2022 in Siberian Ice and absolutely love the way this car drives & handles. I do prefer a little bit bigger of a car, but the G80 with this engine was just a bit out of my budget. But i can promise, this car is Fast! Go out and test drive this car yourself and I promise you will fall in love with it. Very luxurious inside, with a great sporty driver experience

I feel like genesis is not giving the G70 the features it deserves to shine- we get the half analog/digital instrument cluster, the thick integrated turn signal lamps in the mirrors, no ambient lighting, and no park assist options whatsoever (even basic fwd and reverse). The prestige variants of the G70 at minimum should be special enough to command those basic features that genesis gives its other models. Not to mention the lack of wireless smartphone projection which hopefully will come soon via an OTA update.

But does the G70 leak oil from every plastic engine component? If it keeps all oil then it can’t be compared to the BMW.

Beautiful car and the more you look at it, one can identify that Hyundai's using the main cues from Mercede's!

Rati why no digital cluster? I heard if you have connections with certain Hyundai/Genesis dealers they’ll order and install it themselves. Maybe it’s like a secret menu option ala McDonalds. Anyway, Korean gets it standard which sucks! Even Canada gets it standard now for 2024!

Great job on the video (and so many of your videos are spot on!) Had a 23 G70 AWD 2.0 and now have a 21 G70 3.3 RWD w/ Sport Prestige pkg. I much prefer the overall look of the 21, the headlights w/ the copper accents look just right and a bit sinister, The front lower bumper has more of a sport look w/ the sharp angles and smaller grill. The rear lower section of the bumper looks much better on the 19-21s than the large black plastic section that comes up the back of the trunk that looks cheap on the 22+ models, and the lower diffuser panel looks just right on the pre 22s IMO. Performance is the same through the years, so going by looks alone I like the previous version best. I do miss the larger touchscreen on the 23 but that's it :) And the black 5 spoke wheels on the 19-21 Sports are simple but a great looking wheel that goes well on a sport sedan. Those 24 wheels in the video are just too busy, like so many wheels these days, and prefer my Brembos to say Brembo, not Genesis on the caliper :) At any rate, these are great cars for the price point and often overlooked, definitely worth a look and a drive if you're in the Sport sedan market, and the 3.3 is a great motor for this chassis for sure! Maybe when my 21 is tired and old I can pony up for a used 25 G80 magma, now that's one sexy beast!

Still didn't update that ancient transmission stick?

Joe, there are forward cameras somewhere, even if not in the grill. Don't think I'd want the roof painted black. The black paint would absorb way more heat in the summer, than any light colored paint. Would make the car hotter inside, and slower to cool with AC. the black glass does not absorb heat the way black painted metal would.

Great looking car! Wish has KIA Stinger sport hatch!

Tough one Raiti. That straight 6 TT in the m340i is very impressive. And so we'll balanced.

Genesis website shows the trunk is unchanged in size - still only 10.5 cu. ft., NOT 13. The small trunk and cramped back seat were deal breakers for me when I was cross-shopping the G70. I like the styling and the new wheels seem nice. Hard pass on the red interior, would choose the blue exterior over the bland white. Nice price compared to BMW and Acura, but depreciation could be pretty steep (at least according to Edmunds).
