I'd take the Genesis G70 over the AMG C53 and pocket the $20k+ for something frilly..
c53?
Not too mention the amount of money you are going to spend on repairs for a Mercedes
Iktr I agree đŻ
@@albertomaderajr1990if youâre worried about repair costs you shouldnât be shopping for luxury costs.
@@dustywagon298 Obviously lol I never said I was purchasing a Mercedes amg I can afford it I'm just saying for the average person that doesn't want to spend that amount of money
Hands down one of the best looking cars in its class. Not to mention how quick and great it handles to add to them looks
Disagree the Volvo S60 and Cadillac ct4 looks way better
@@AAhmad3449 Disagree, they both look trash. This definitely is way better looking.
@@xDigitalConfusionx this looks ugly and legit looks like a kia
â21+ IS350. Not even close performance wise, but imo has this beat in looks

I just traded in g70 2.0t Sport Prestige for the 3.3t Sport Prestige and I couldn't have been happier with the upgrade.
Huge W
I'm picking up my second 2022 G70 sport tomorrow at Genesis. Seriously an amazing car for the price. I'm Korean, and I'm really proud of my people for making it's mark in the auto industry.
Really great review as always Joe!
Are these cars reliable?
@grandmastagrimm8773 very reliable. Never had a problem yet. As long as you service the cars you're good to go.
i own that exact car just with grey interior, its amazing. personally i changed the tires at 1500 miles because i didnt think the michelin primacy do that car justice. changed to continental extreme contact and it makes the car drive better in every way
thanks for sharing that tidbit about the tires... considering this vehicle myself...
Sport have sports pilot4
Change those heavy rims for something light and you will feel a bigger difference
I have always been a Mercedes-Benz owner. But Genesis has stepped up their game. In a way that I would have never imagined. With the Mercedes C-Class it's more of the same. With the Genesis g70 it's an eye-opener. Body lines are beautifully done and matched. I myself would definitely give the Genesis brand a try.
Same here T! Iâm thinking about leasing one next year.
Have you been inside the new C classđ€
Where do you work to afford this?
@In My Duffy some super solid advice
Stepped up their game....They took everything from from Mercedes-Benz, Audi & Bimmer....they haven't brought anything new to market their the copy cats Lexus has been. But what they can't steal is the 3 kings Heritage & the way it drives & handles...u guys are terrible!
That rolling burnout sold me !! đłâïžâïž
Bought the 21 G70 3.3T fully loaded about 6 months and absolutely love it. Would definitely recommend it, my only zonk is the infotainment. not a big fan of it but I do love that the fact that I can fit probably 8-10 ding dongs in the center console , 3 cans of mello yellow in the glove and 2 baby deer in the trunk.
What was the problem with infotainment?
2 baby deer đ
You know Joe is 6' tall right...
Howâs the reliability? Thinking of getting one but donât want to regret it later on
Outstanding! one of the reasons I bought it. Best warranty on the planet and almost 2 yrs in and zero issues@@grandmastagrimm8773
Joe, I love your videos. They are not only informative but entertaining. Keep up the great work. đ
As a former MB C43 and current Audi S5 owner, this car has really impressed me. For the cost, its definitely worth a test drive when it's time to get rid of the Audi.
Beautiful car! I love the interior. Surprised to see a spare tire. I think they could improve the trunk space without it and possibly lowering the cargo floor. Thanks Joe. Great job! Nice job Steven! đđ»đđ»đșđž
I can see you drive this one Larry!
@@RaitisRides dam bro past 800,000 subs .haven't watched ur vids in a while ( sorry!lol) great content as usual...
Whats with the 666 hand signals in your videos ? Or is it unintentional ?
@@langleybeliever7789 Paranoia, much?
@@drawnhere I never ignore the obvious, these signs mean something .Look into it.
Just bought the RWD 3.3t the other day. Iâve got to say, Iâve been a very happy man driving it!!
Enjoy it man . Beautiful beast of a car
I have a c43 amg and love the car - PFL PE exhaust sounds amazing. I test drove a GV70 the other day and was so incredibly impressed. Definately leaning towards genesis for my next purchase.
This and the Stinger are absolutely amazing cars for the price. Can't beat the vaule!
Before or after the dealer 10k markups
@Paul why so angry? Lmao
@@JustxLiving909 are these dealer mark ups only for genesis? Still good bang for your buck my man
@@davidcarey1822 The 2022 was marked up appropriately, the 2023 for whatever reason has been marked up to death, not sure if it's the popularity or need for the car but if you want one I would suggest a 2022 model which I got during the chip shortage/covid so prices were already out of wack. Good bang for your buck? That's for sure.
@@davidcarey1822 no itâs not dealers are losing hella money
Bought this Vehicle over a year ago... ..3.3T Fully Loaded. AWD....Influenced by this review. No regrets. Love this car!!!
I cannot imagine needing more car for the street than this. It is simply beautiful. Performs like it looks and Genesis has been rated #1 in initial quality a few times. A gorgeous car.
Hyundaiâs Genesis line is finally poised to become a serious contender in the major markets⊠which I feel certain theyâll do. When introduced in 2015, I was quite impressed but it seemed like they were just quietly sticking a toe in the water. But this year theyâre really making some good waves!
I really love this G70 Joe! Great amenities for the price, totally digging the I interior, and love the headlight and taillight design from Genesis! I'm becoming a fan very fast!
I feel the same way!
I usually don't like split headlights. But it works here. The car looks serious.
Love your energy man!! Keep it up!!
Thanks for letting me share my passion with you!
I really wish they kept the trimming for the interior consistent between the two trims. The cross stitching on the V6 is goddamn beautiful.
Moreover the weird horizontal stitching on the base 3.3T is kinds just looks bad.
Over 350 HP, nice interior and even a spare tire for $52K! Good deal
Instant thumbs up đđŸ on that spin. I really like this one. Keep it going.
The camera setup def gives you a sense of how the car is to drive. Gave me a smile ngl
Funny part is is I would most definitely use the nature sounds while driving home from work pissed off đ
GOAT! Honestly, Genesis is still relatively new to the market so it needs more time to establish its value when compared to brands like Mercedes and Lexus. It is the new popular kid on the block. This vehicle is a direct competitor to the Acura TLX if anything. Also, Genesis is what Infiniti shouldâve evolved into.
Honestly besides a maybe better platform the tlx is not even close to the g70 or stinger in terms of performance. And pricing the g70 starts cheaper for the 3.3 awd and even if you get the higher trim it's still a way better bang for your buck then a tlx
I agree with your Infiniti take âŠ. Renault really ran them into the ground over the years đ I was rooting for Nissan/Infiniti but gave up yrs ago
Thanks for sharing your great thoughts on this one.
How is it "popular"
I've seen like 2 or 3 in my life
I was in a Q50 for 6 years and now im switching over to the Genesis G70.. so yea ill agree with you on that one lol
Guy keeps it real & thatâs why I am here.. good review
Great energy dude!! Great video!!
Thanks Michael! I appreciate it!
Great review as always. I am a Mercedes E class driver but honestly I am really impressed with Genesis cars. By the way I call their grille "Superman grille" because it's the same shape as the superman logo đ
That is actually a great analogy Essam!
@@RaitisRides thanks!
@@essamallawi9605 you are so very welcome!
Wow! Lol, the donut was great! Now I know how my G70 will handle. Excellent video shot! Thanks đ
BTW, the Genesis door plate does light up; I have it on mine. It's an extra option.
Mine have it too
It should be standard with the light! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
@@SAVAGEoLIFE Very cool!
@@RaitisRides True
Thank you for pointing out how tight the back seat is. I noticed that when I booked the rental
Yeah the BMW 3-series suffers from the same problem.
Thx for the review. Is this the 22 (as you stated in the beginning) or the 23 yr model as in indicated in the title?
Damn Joe u smoke the hell out the tires when we was listening to what kind of hum it makes ..lol...
I am so glad that I could share some of it with you!
I have a 22 which is this body style with everything you demonstrated. I love it! What else can be said. Iâd do this again in a heartbeat.
Love the burnout in the beginning!!
This Genesis G70 sedan looks cool in white.
Amazing job with your work as always Joe.
It really pops! Thanks for having my back!
@@RaitisRides No problem Joe.
Just like the stinger this thing is capable of so much more power
You are so right about that!
Yes on the roof! Drives me nuts!!! Wish mine also had shades in back seat like they did in the G80!!!
My favorite channel for car reviewsđthis channel
Proud owner of this car ⊠everyday is a joy driving this beast ⊠worth every penny spent!
Thanks for the feedback. Looking to trade in my â12 Genesis sedan and purchasing this. If you donât mind what did you spend about?
Immaculate looking car, always loved Genesis
Love this guy! Zonking stuff, the Twinkies and yoo hoo, Mountain Dew and burritos, âïžâïžâïžâïžâïžđđŸđđŸđ along with the outstanding reviews
Thanks for letting me share it all with you!
Love it ! Thanks
still can't believe the Elantra N has a full digital cluster, and yet even the highest trim G70 only comes with 2/3 of a digital gauge cluster. Either than that it's a gorgeous car inside and out
FACTS! I sold my 2020 G70 3.3T and the interior was outdated, the new ones gauge cluster is embarrassing. The transmission was its weak point too. I test drove the Elantra N and the DCT was awesome. Iâm just an old guy and Elantra N was too crazy for my liking.
Who cares for digital gauges honestly , they give a cheap factor to a car imo. Dials mixed digital will age better and just gives you a better sense of speed.
Not a Hyundai/Kia Fan by any means but they have stepped it up a bit and this Genesis has a very clean exterior and beautiful interior to matchâŠ. Also This price point surprised meâŠ. In a good way⊠I personally still would go Lexus or Acura but good job Hyundai đ ⊠and as always great job Raitis Rideâs team !!
Thanks Eric!
u not getting a new one for less than 55k....
@@djzulumask2138 I Got mines for 53
@@djzulumask2138 got my 22 sport prestige for 52k here in cerritos ca
Joe surprised me with that wheel spin
Love it!!
I own a '23 3.3tt AWD in Siberian Ice (AWD is avail here in Canada) ... had it for a few weeks now, absolutely love it!!!! Pictures and videos don't do this car justice, you need to see/drive it in person. I get compliments every time I stop to fill up. Never thought I would love this car as much as I do!! (former '18 TLX A-Spec owner)
It looks stunning in person. Even the pre face lift it looks amazing in person compared to a screen
I would love to see genesis/Kia implement that 3.3tt v6 Into a sports coupe sometime in the future, maybe like a coupe variant stinger? Seems like an idea that has some potential just as a last hurrah to gas power, plus I personally think the stinger styling would look killer in a coupe form đ
If only they would do it Josh!
A last hoorah for gas? You are crazy to think Gas powered cars are going away
@@justinnegron4843 gas might not be going away completely, but a lot of manufacturers are switching to hybrid gas/ electric with 1-1.5 cylinder engines. Fun stuff
So about that rear cargo space in the trunk, you didn't mention that the seats fold down which has been really useful for me compared to my 2008 C300 which has a decent trunk but the rear seats DID NOT fold down to increase cargo room or for odd items that are longer than your standard, or even larger trunk in this class. That's a big deal and it came in handy more than a few times for me.
Veryy nice Raiti love this Genesis!!!đ
Excellent driving, man. That's clean.
Hey Joe, please do a review of the Audi RS3. Would love to hear your thoughts about it
Loved the burnt out!! đ
I had a feeling that you would Ronald!
Those rims look so clean
I live in Canada, and I just purchased a white one with burgundy interior G70 Advanced version with AWD , with the 4 banger ( I am 74 ). I should be getting it in a few weeks.
I'd love to see this go around a track vs the Type S. I know this thing will beat the type s in a straight line, but the handling on the Type S is remarkable.
Type S is a bit heavier and a lot of reviewers have said that the g70 handles amazing as well. Interested to see as well
The Integra Type S would be the Acura in the same class. The TLX is much bigger than the G70 and is closer to the G80 in size.
Notification gang đ
You were swanginâ that G70 đ„ đ
Heck yeah!
Iâve been waiting for this!
I sold my 2019 Genesis G70 with the hope I can get Genesis X but itâs not out yet and I ended up getting this new Gen G70 oh boy this 3.3L V6 twin turbo is quick !
It looks way more interesting. I love it how literally the previous bentley designer is working for Hyundai (Genesis) now.
Genesis copping all the german designers lmaoo the automotive industry turning into NBA Draft
7:54 wasnât expecting that aggressive of a drive. Very nice!
Hope a deer doesnât jump out in front of him some day.
@@Uofmdoc ppl hit deer all the time going like 80 they just explode lol
Yea the drift mode makes it a buy
â@@ItsYaBoiJerm no they don't. The car will be 100% totaled at that speed.
@@VanquishedAgain u must not drive
Only half way thru, love the commentary đđđ
I will definitely take one of these but in AWD just b/c MN got so much snow âïž anytime giving.
This car is stunning!!!
I know right!
Joe with the burn outs ? Sheesh đ„đ„
Smoke'em if you Gott'em
Damn, didnt know Raiti could whip it like that!
I was driving on the freeway the other day and saw the same headlights as this car and I thought dam what type of car is this? It was night time and the car was black and I couldnât see the logos but now I know itâs this beauty!
That is one good looking car...with a 10 year warranty
Hyundai always had great warranties
In this price point, it's an excellent deal and looks the part. Definitely a contender ...
I have a 2019. Blue with the same interior. Opted for the 2.o engine and get 35mpg on the highway which I need. Nothing better out there. Beautiful car and solid build.
That's cool but you can't compare the 4cyl to V6
This my new go to car thanks Joe
That is so awesome!
Looks like a nice car. That burnout/spin made me laugh.
Thanks for letting me share all the fund with you David!
đ
Great review once again, Joe.
I love this car. Just wish it had the same hatch style trunk as the stinger and a bit more rear seat foot space.
Me too.. I'm so afraid of kia I'm thinking of going with the integra. Can't deny the stinger beauty. But kia brand im unsure unless it's the telluride
Hyundai saved KIAâs ass back in the day. They are rebadged Hyundaiâs! I use to work for Hyundai/Genesis. đ Retired about 5 years ago. Miss the business. I sold high end Luxury cars for over 20 years!
Yeah wish it had the trunk space of the Arteon
Right off the bat!!! My favorite line from R

I really like these cars. It would be a difficult choice between a CT4 or CT5 v or this. I love Cadillac, but this is nice.
Though choices for sure!
I had a 2018 Cadillac CT6 TT and it was TERRIBLE! Loved the car but the engine was horrendous! Have loved my G 80 and now my G70!
I gotta tell you Iâm with you on Caddy CT5 vâŠ.I test drove it and yes I was impressed but damn, they only had one on lot and msrp 65K fully loaded not counting 2K markup, then tax, title, license close 70K!âŠsalesman said I could order but it would take 4-6 months and then I could option it how I want, possibly get one for 58K but omitting certain packages. I test drove 2023 G70 3.3t RWD and damnit fell in love with itâŠmsrp $55k fully loaded but salesman also said 2K markup because of market and then tax, title, license drove it up to 62KâŠ.Iâm glad to say I was able to negotiate to 58K out the door for fully loaded! đđŒđ€đŒđ„

Iâm still not sure if I prefer the previous shape. In any case you wonât mix this up with another brand đđ»
I prefer the update. I find it has a sportier look with the new lights.
This is so very true Gareth!
@@Cgee3 Same here!
They both amazing. I have to say one one the best refresh I seen in a long time. If I could I would own them both even though they the same car. Itâs so far from similar it look like a different car. I would buy the 2020 and the 2022 just to have the style of both. These will be great old school cars when we get old. I can imagine it.
My suspicion is the reason Mercedes is downsizing their engines to 4cyl is for 2 reasons. Better MPG and putting their R&D into electrification...
Theyâll be making hybrids. Supposed to be faster
Nice job!
I dumped my 2012 Lexus is250 for a 2023 white G70 3.3t. No regretsâŠ
Such a beautiful car love the looks has everything what I would need if was in the market for car shopping. I love the Benz and Beemers this automobile definitely be "Poor Germans Car" usually white cars get dirty so fast but it really makes this car gorgeous and sporty. Genesis is really stepping their game more with notes so high on Mercedes and BMW would get this G70 a nice car worth the money.
Genesis now command $10k over sticker. try buying one. No one who is poor can buy a genesis.
you crack me up two stages of heated steering wheel take that Mercedes Benz joe you are the best and you crack me up thanks for making me laugh I appreciate it and I appreciate you
I am so glad that I can share the laughs and the cars with you Chloe!
I was looking at one of these but I just wished the updated the tech to what they have on the gv70 especially since they just refreshed it.
The hold the guac from chipotle had me cracking up đ
I always been a Hyundai gal lol. Thatâs all my parents drove growing up but they did step out once, got a Kia and had a terrible experience. They went back to Hyundai afterwards and havenât look at another brand since. But I get the hype because they have a great warranty and the cars hold up great throughout the years. I had 3 Hyundai cars and I currently drive a Nissan and I hate it. Within the next 2 years want to go back to Hyundai but I really want a Genesis G70 and technically itâs still Hyundai bred soooo here I come Genesis. I was also looking at an Audi A5 but Genesis is really making me forget about an Audi lol
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
Which do you prefer, this or a stinger? I got a 2020 stinger GT
It is a close call.
Good call Austin; I have a 2020 AWD Stinger GT1.
I had a stinger and I'll go with the stinger lol
