The 2024 Genesis G70 3.3T Is A Exemplary Twin-Turbo Powered RWD Sports Sedan
Vložit

- As the only compact luxury RWD sports sedan from Korea, the #GenesisG70 has lots of strong attributes for enthusiasts looking to have some fun. For 2024, #Genesis has given the #G70 another round of small updates but the basic formula remains. RWD chassis, stand out design, powerful turbo engines, and balanced handling. The 3.3T trim still makes competitive power and while we are uncertain of the future for this sporty sedan, it remains one of the best values in its class.

I just bought a 2023 G70 that was a dealers loaner with less than 2000 miles on it. The sticker price was $57,000. I paid $37,000 for it. The car is a beast. There are different performance settings: ECO, Comfort, and Sport. When in ECO mode you get the best mileage it is a beast with a muzzle and a leash, in Comfort Mode it is a beast on a leash, but no muzzle, in Sport mode it is a beast with no muzzle or leash.
Lmdao. It was never worth anywhere near $57,000 but sure y’all just keep telling Genesis that they’re killing all the competition until their models have been forced to be killed off.
@@G-Rated lol just like a bmw 3 series or 4cyl amg ain't worth the sticker either....Genesis is killing it.
You don't have sport +?
@@joerichardson6107 I got a 2024 3.3T and it has Sport+
This is just beautiful.. Even before watching the whole video.. I actually clicked to watch the video cause of the thumbnail.. It's really dope man
The G70 is one of my dream cars!! Crazy how a new brand won a lot of our hearts🔥
its not a new brand, its Hyundai
Those worried about the reliability of the engine. I have a 2018 Stinger Gt1 with 144,000 miles and no issues what so ever. Just normal maintenance and use 93 gas. Genesis feels more premium inside, but i prefer looks, practicality, and the fact that stingers are rarer on the road. Also, as i do a ton of highway miles, i average 25-29mpg on longer trips. Just a shame they didnt put the 3.5 engine in this and continue the Stinger.
Great review, as always!
U a lucky old not everybody can say tht more like 90%+
I have a 18' GT with 56k and my tranny is starting to down shift rough when coming to a stop and it kinda howls or whine/whistles if I give it at least 50% throttle. Kia dealer said the tranny oil looks good still 😥 other than that the car has been amazing over the last 5 years.
True! This engine has been around since 2017 and has had no issues. A solid engine.
What's to worry? It's guaranteed to last 10 years or 100,000 miles with its legendary warranty. The competition can only guarantee for 5 years or 60,000 miles.
Hard to believe you Morty. Shabbat Shalom 🇮🇱
I always loved the original Genesis 5.0L Luxury Sedan(G80) it had a presence on the road.....
I have one right now with the HTRAC. Awesome car.
I have a 2019 G70 and until today it feels as good as new, it has 80 thousand miles on it. Both interior and exterior looks stunning after every car wash 🔥
Glad to hear.
What coñor do you have?
Tell me you handwash it
While I still believe the Stinger GT2/Scorpion was an overall better designed car(more room, lift back, etc), I still love the G70. Such a great overall car for the class that isn't yet another 3-Series.
No need to mention GT2/scorpion... They're all the same design 🤦🏽♂️
Sorry to have triggered you. Its not that big of a deal. Both were the top trims of the Stinger until the Tribute model for the last model year. Feel better?
@@hellkitty1014I always laugh at replies such as yours. Just bc I corrected you, it automatically makes you people so damn fragile 😂
You still stand corrected honey.
@@porfiriato84 yet...here you are in all of your glorious fragility.🤣
@@hellkitty1014🥱
I hope you understood your mistake though. That's all that matters here ;)
Its amusing how so many are skeptical of Genesis. Yet, BMW or Mercedes are historically habitual money pits but still enjoy praise. 🤔
The styling of this car is so sick
I love the G70 styling but I do want more space. May have to go for the G80
I am eyeing a used 2022 & congrats on 1 million!!! 🎉
Our metro area has 500,000 people and there is no local Genesis dealer. This remains the brand’s biggest problem.
Many Hyundai dealers sell and service genesis.
Your city is small, move elsewhere
@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 If he has other luxury brand dealers, then yeah it's problem for Genesis.
What city?
They have solo dealers already, but I think the franchises and brand are taking too long to get all of them built or existing property leased open
That is a BEAUTIFUL car, inside and out!
I own a 20 g70 v6, have all the basic bolt ons intake/jb4/eibach springs n sways/volk ze40's, these cars no joke.
I loved Genesis cars & I might try to buy this.
I have a 2019 G70 and love this Car. Luxury and sports car combined. Get the best of both worlds. When they changed the design in 2022, it was coo, but I prefer my 19. The new design is sexy tho. G70 4 life 💯💯💯
That is an absolutely stunning color combo!
You are a living breathing computer! Your ability to memorize specs, point out EVERY feature is impressive! Excellent review! Might be just me… but piping exhaust sounds into the interior speakers is comical. We can just make zoom-zoom or growling engine sounds with our mouths. 🤣
That's because he has a script and never deviates from it. It's becoming boring.
@@michaelp.3485 - Then I’m even more impressed! You never ever see a script or notes in the videos, so he memorized all facts and the script! I’m guessing you are one of the folks who like their exhaust noises piped into the cabin so you can think you are more awesome. 😎
The updated base model is even worth getting in AWD with the 2.5t. it's obviously not as fast as this, but at around 5.6/ 5.7 to 60, it's not slow either
exterior is gorgeous in person. interior needs the gv70s current version so bad. wondering why they haven't refreshed the inferior.
It would look amazing if they did that. I would expect a hefty price increase though if they did that.
Because it's being discontinued due to low sales.
😳 *I've been waiting so long for this review!* 💪😤👍
Great review youngster. Best wishes 🙏🏼
S/o 1 mil subs the channel keeps growing !!
Great review as always ... I have a 23 G70 3.3T Prestige and absolutely LOVE IT !!! ... I call it my M340i with a 20K discount 😂
It's still an upgraded Hyundai. Trust me, this isn't a BMW
@@wazgoodjjyou’re right, it doesn’t come with a check engine light on
It’s a beautiful car! I prefer the long wheelbase and the Stinger look with its sport hatch!
This thing is fun to drive, looks good and is quite the bargain overall!
Selling my 2019 G70 AWD 3.3T im the second owner non smoker garage kept professionally washed 31k miles always dealer maintained.
Cool
May I ask why are you selling your car?
We still mention "non smoker" when selling?
I really like the exterior design, only problem is I can’t afford it
Go ahead and treat yourself!
Such a good-looking sport sedan!
G70 is my dream car
Such a great looking car!
The interior is just gorgeous....
Love the new styling. Wish G70 gets another update with a hatchback since Stinger is discontinued.
They should just bring the shooting brake over to the Us
This car screams ambient lighting please!
I've seen some aftermarket ones installed on reddit and CZcams and it does look good! Of course, going the aftermarket route is a ton of extra work and cost, and who knows what the quality is long-term.
I dig ambient
Lighting For posers
@@fale892 I'm not a poser. I dig ambient lites. I think you do too lady.
DAMPED AND LINED WITH FELT! ❤😂
As a stinger owner I like the Genesis it looks much more classy. The sunroof might not be a panoramic size one but it is wider then standard ones
Stinger owner here as well. While the Genesis does look classier, I personally like the sportier and more aggressive look of the Stinger overall. When I was looking to purchase my next car, I narrowed it down between these two. The two deciding factors for me were 1. Usability -- coming from an IS 350, the G70 was a similar car, which meant more limited usability and a back seat that was not meant for average-sized adults. The Stinger has a back seat that can comfortably seat an average-sized adult. It's also a hatchback, so it's magnitudes better at transporting stuff. 2. Price - I got a deal on my Stinger that was way too good to pass up.
The useability factor on the Stinger can't be downplayed. As my only vehicle, it has been an amazing all-around vehicle. Fast and sporty enough to have a lot of fun in, but practical as hell -- I recently purchased a 65" TV and was able to haul it back home in the Stinger, box and all (it was a really tight fit, but I was able to do it). It's came in clutch for me a bunch of other times as well hauling stuff that I would either 1. not be able to haul at all with a regular sedan or 2. would have to take multiple trips in a regular sedan where the Stinger did it in one trip.
There really aren't many options out there anymore for something that is truly sporty but also has a lot of utility and isn't an SUV or crossover.
I haven’t said that in a long time about a new vehicle; but it’s a nice car!!!!
I’ve loved this car since the beginning. Hope Genesis keeps it around for a nextgen
The G70 won’t get next gen the sales numbers are weak
It’s getting discontinued.
@@faheemabbas3965 false
@@faheemabbas3965 It's not, where did you get your info from?
They really should make a G70 couple. Same styling, motor options, give it a 6spd manual and make it a hatchback 👌🏾 #perfection
I want one so badly❤😊
Seriously good car !
Wow much better value than its Euro counterparts
this always had nice proportions but i prefer the pre face lift styling more. it looked more sporty
Seating position is crazy in these things you can sit on the floor if you want.
It's annoying in the US they still didn't go with the all-digital driver's display like in other markets. I know some people like the physical tach, but for me either both the speedo and tach should be physical, or make the display all-digital.
Agreed! They only put that setup in the base model in other markets. Full digital for everything else.
All digital sucks
@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 Perhaps. But half and half really sucks. :)
@@johnholst Holst m'lad, I think you should focus on the driving experience. That's where it's at. 👍
@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 And in that regard, this car is very good!
I literally just bought one of these today, but the AWD one
1 year old, with less than 15k miles are going for around $35k. 2 years old you can find it for less than $30.
Yep. I wouldn't buy one new, but these are an incredible value if buying used.
Maybe the 4 cylinder yes, IDK where you're seeing 35K for the V6. That's not possible
@@Mistadontplay89 Sport Prestige 3.3T models don't depreciate that fast.
@@hellkitty1014 I've looked at similarly equipped 3.3s in my area and there are plenty of them in the 30s. I was surprised.
@@Mistadontplay89what’s your area?
Love this car !!! and I’m Lexus lover…
You have to be somewhat foolish to buy a car in this class. I should know as I just bought a new S5 Sportback. You simply have to decide how much money you are willing to burn to get a premium sport sedan. Yes, the S5 cost me more than a G70 or TLX Type-S. However, between Audi (and Costco!) rebates, along with a dealer who treated me fairly, the price difference wasn't that significant.
If the car puts a smile on your face, it's not foolish at all. Enjoy the ride!
Thanks! That is what it really came down to. The BMW M340i is faster. The IS350 and IS500 will almost certainly be more reliable. But the S5 had the combination of sport, luxury, looks, and ergonomics (HVAC knobs - what a novel idea) that made me smile the most. I'm older, so I needed to buy this while I can still enjoy it.
Maybe the 2026 will bring us some new much needed updates like full digital cluster and AMBIENT LIGHTING. Also they need to give us a Magma G70 or some better exhaust options
if the car isn’t redesigned every three months CZcamsrs claim the design is getting old because they wouldn’t have a job haha
Well, to be fair, this is the only car in the original Genesis lineup that has yet to be fully redesigned. It's still a beautiful car, but the G80 and G90 have both been fully redesigned with new platforms and new powertrains.
The G70 has only ever been facelifted, and it's starting to show its age.
I love mines its a 23 sport prestige but the rwd the best driving one i love drifting it n lauching is soo fun i got it up too 165 mph n she took it well so underrated ❤

How long will this be at the dealer
Does anyone know what the boost pressure of the turbos are? This video said 13 PSI but automobile catalogue website says 21 PSI.
13 PSI makes sense to me. For a 3.3L engine with two turbos, the torque output is the lowest among all equivalent engine sizes. But the maximum torque is also at the lowest revs of any equivalent engine (1350 rpm). To me both those factors suggest a lower boost than other turbo six cylinder engines.
spec i want
Genesis ❤❤
what is the meaning of a glove box that is "damped"? I've never understood that point.
It just means that it has some resistance when it opens slowly down, as opposed to just dropping.
@@johnholst oh ok thanks
4.3…wow.
And how exactly is the 4.3 sec to 60 behind an s4/s5 when you tested them at 4.3 sec to 60, just like the G70 RWD.
Unconcious bias
@@fale892 the only explanation, Sofyan is very biased
I feel that the grey exterior color looks more white on camera versus seeing it in person. Genesis maybe the new luxury manufacturer on the block but the old school German or Japanese luxury brand will be in the people shopping list first.
The place German cars rule is in making the styling classic understated. The G70 has much going for it but the front grill is too large and ghetto looking and usually the wheels are the same. The red interior is ok if it is one of several but a grey or black would be much better for most people. And for a twin turbo I would want the long warranty or a lease as you are looking at expensive repairs somewhere down the line. And the mileage seems pretty poor but maybe not so bad if you can get something like the hwy mileage. People should refuse to pay a premium to any car company for paint colors like a white or silver.....nothing but profit enhancement on an already expensive car. Maybe extra cost for some totally unique paint but not just another basically standard color.
Ghetto looking ?? really ?? SMH
@ 3:00 the driver hood panel has a bigger gap then the passenger hood panel but other than that the car is nice!
Can't forget the Infiniti Q50 RedSport still exists as well in 2024!! might be dated, but still pushing 400HP 💪
I use to have the 2018 q59 RS it was a lease , now I am leasing a 23 BMW x3M40. That q50 was fast but so dated. 0-60 4.5 sec comparing to this genesis , but man I love my BMW 0-60 in 4.1 sec. It’s fast for what it is
@Mr.Lambert777 my Q50 has been bulletproof reliable and maintenance costs don't clear my bank account lol...don't know of I can say the same about BMW
@@SlimeZ33 to be honest, I had a lot of issues with my 2018 q50RS and I had a 2017 q60 rs. My infinit stayed in the shop. I had zero issues with my BMW. My BMW is more reliable than the Infiniti all my cars have been brand new modified from the factory . I never owned a used car. Bmw has never put a dent my pockets. It is what it is
@Mr.Lambert777 I have a 2014 Sport and have had no issues, and my car is heavily modified. And I work at a dealership and bmw's live here lol
@@SlimeZ33 what dealership do you work at?Are used to have a 2014 Q50 sport hybrid I didn’t have any issues with that because it didn’t have the turbo engine. But I only had it for a year and I got rid of it. And I called cap on “Bmw lives “ there because modern BMWs are very reliable.

AMBIENT LIGHTING 😭😭😭😭
That’s a pretty fancy name for a “White” color car
I was told this the last year for the g70 😢😢
You were told wrong
Wouldn't the Cadillac CT4-V also compete with this? Similar size and price, I think the CT4 might be a grand or two less expensive than this but it's turbo 4cyl-only and a little slower, although still somewhere in the 4 second 0-60 range - Surprised it wasn't compared.
Pretty much all of this car's competitors are less than .1-.7 seconds in either direction.
Lexus is500 does it in 4.4, tlx type s in 4.7, ct4-v in 4.8, m340i in 3.8
Its surprisingly close.
@@KAYJAYSTUDIOSYT '24 TLX type S... CT4-V...0 to 60....5.0 sec. (motor trend)
@@bigden2755 TLX type S -4.6 sec 0-60
Ct4v -4.8 secs.
Like I said. It's close. And both have far superior build quality over the Genesis.
@@KAYJAYSTUDIOSYT So Motor tTrend isn't reliable ?? Superior build quality of a GM Cadillac ?? LOL... Have a good day, anyhow !!
@@bigden2755 I know you saw those panel gaps in the video my dude. You're not gonna one Cadillac that has that.
At that price, its somewhat reasonable, but you do get what you pay for. Tech is getting somewhat old, but still perfectly fine.
That rear seat space though. No bueno, bro. Way to small. They really need to increase the wheelbase a tad. I dont why this class struggles in this area.
Personally, id pay a little more to buy an acura tlx type S, or a lexus is500. Both are barley slower, if at all, features similar levels of tech, and (in the case of the tlx) have much more room in the back.
Still, solid vehicle by Genesis. Its a huge shame theyre allegedly discontinuing it after this year.
'' much more room in the back '' ???? Types back seats legroom: 34,5'' IS: 32,2''. ... G70 : 34,8.....and not discontinued after this year. You need to research a little more instead of embarrassing yourself... SMH
Wait... I can find any information about this new 3.5
Where were those sexy rims 3 years ago??
Now this is a real legitimate luxury sedan. And it shows in how exceptional everything is. Not as good as bmw but it’s a lot cheaper than a bmw
I wouldn't necessarily say a lot cheaper. This car as tested, he states a price of $55,600. To get roughly the same hp in a 3 Series, that would be the M340 at 382hp. That starts at $57,600. $2k isn't that much. Now, the options one would add to the BMW is where you incur a higher difference since the Germans like to nickle and dime you for everything.
Even the base price of the 3.3 rwd G70 is $50k, so $7k still isn't "a lot" relative to these prices. Basically, these cars are identical, and I would argue it is as good (perhaps a bit better) than the 3. So it comes down to if you want to pay the extra 14% for the BMW name or not. If that matters to someone, and they need to be seen in one for their ego, then BMW it is. If not and they're more rational, then Genesis is definitely the answer.
I wish you'd make reasonable comments like this more often.
For this car to ever make perfect sense to buy, the price tag needs to be $30,000 us or around $45-50,000 cad
It makes alot more sense to buy a Lexus or bmw in the $50- $55, 000 price range
That slight minor gap difference, along the front driver's side fender, is a bit odd. Yes, that comment was extremely "nit picky", I admit.
Another "nit picky" comment is that I don't like "augmented engine sounds". Why do they do that? If it isn't actually the engine making that sound, then it is a lie.
@ 15:50 he said do-do
I think this car would have done well if it came out n 2016/17. By the time it came out in 2019 it felt like it was half a generation behind its German competitors, and even Acura stepped their game up with the tlx. Right now it seems silly to buy this car over a bmw or Audi, the interior is just not as modern and use to have an Hyundai infotainment software. Also that fuel economy is rough, that will close the cost gap between this and a German car within 5 years.
brother this is red or orang ?
Car would be ten times better if they did one thing.... Make it a coupe
Any Hyundai Kia and Genesis brand I stay away from because of the engine problems and hearing that they could spontaneously combust. Plus the fact that Kia and Hyundai still haven't really did anything to fix those.
You watched this video just to say that 😂
The Backseat space is always a deal breaker for me. I really, want to love it but the back seat man!
Same for me at 6’3. Even my sister who is 5’5 wasn’t able to sit back there even with my seat pushed all the way up to the steering wheel lol.
Then buy a large sedan 🤦♂️

I tested both and went with the Type S. The G70 I drove had some terrible panel gaps and the sound system sucked. It was indeed quicker, but I needed all wheel drive. The TLX also sounded significantly better and imo looks much better.

@@Okoro17dealership I was at only had RWD. Either way from what I gather tlx all wheel drive is superior.

Looks like the car made straight from Ali express with plastic surgery 😂
Regardless which car is sportier or luxury, genesis still beats the stinger in a race any day genesis is just the faster car, quicker trans then the stinger i walk stingers all day
As an Audi owner & fan, I still have to correct you Sofyan for over-estimating the performance of an S4 😅. It is not quicker than 4.3s 0-60, it's right in that range if you launch it right. If you don't launch it, you're looking at well over 5s.

@@bigden2755 well it’s a car so what do you do with a car?
Who services this vehicle? The same person who services the Accent?
No, I go to my Genesis dealership...
This car is too small, the backseat and trunk are relatively useless. The should have made the Stinger (same car but bigger and a hatchback) a Genesis. Made the stinger interior more luxurious, and continue to offer the same positive options, awd, twin turbo V6, and luxury options. They also need fewer trims, just give us simple options base, mid and luxury/power.
Well, I don't really need back seats, trunk can take my golf gear. Get over it, man. stinger is dead. Trim options is simple. Beside top trim, engine and AWD, there is no options You can add.
Thank you for the reply. I am not a fan of Hyundai/Kia, yet the Genesis brand definitely has caught my attention. Most notably the GV70, not really something that is the size of an Elantra at this price. Most people still need practicality.
FYI, I prefer Japanese reliability but their offerings have a lot of missing features, Lexus, Acura and the Infiniti. Hence why someone might even consider looking the direction of the G70. If the Japanese automakers woke up, no one would care about this car.
Stinger might be dead but it was a mishandled opportunity as compared to the constantly minor updates of the G70. Hence the original comment.
You do know know theres a larger sedan called G80 right? 🤦♂️
@@fale892yes, there are lots of large sedans that are not Hyundai’s. I owned a Lexus GS350 two car leases ago. It was a really nice car. Not currently seeking a living room on wheels. Thank you for the note.

I wanted one of these cars recently but sadly for guy like me who is 6’3, I felt really cramped in this car. Bearly any leg room for myself as the driver and especially the 6ft sales guy who test drove the car with me lol, or for anyone else in the back seat of this vehicle. So sadly this car is a no for me. They just need to stretch the wheel base of this vehicle so it has more space.
I've been saying, even for a short guy myself I felt so cramped in the back, especially the leg area. People who say it isn't cramped are straight lying. Beautiful car if you don't care about the tight room and mid fuel economy.
@@porfiriato84 lol true I heard people say the same thing. My sister who is way shorter than me sat in the backseats even with my legs pushed all the way up to the steering wheel, and that’s when she was like yeah I don’t need this car nor is she interested in one. More power to the people who can make this vehicle work for them but it’s just not roomy enough.
Since this is a Korean car and the people their seem to have no issue with space in this vehicle I think for US and other countries models they should stretch the wheelbase out a bit more so they are accommodating w full spectrum of short and tall drivers. But this may never happen since they will be spending more on production for two different versions of this vehicle lol.
@@porfiriato84 LOL ... I don't drive from the back seat
@@bigden2755 I don't want any friends who come along to be overly cramped In a $57k car. Pretty much everything In it's class outside of the IS does better in this regard.
I’ll take a Cadillac CT5 550T AWD with the twin-turbo 6 cylinder for the same money easily and on any day of the week. This vehicle does not compare to the ride quality, driving dynamics of Alpha 2 chassis nor Cadillac’s reliability and quality. The panel gaps on this G70 look an absolute mess to me, the quality control over there should be so much better by now. The seats look nice but the rest of the interior just screams “Hyundai Calligraphy” to me.
