Genesis are making some really beautiful looking vehicles. I look forward to owning one soon. I think the Thomas Blue suits this car so much.
👌
It’s a beautiful more reliable n maintenance is of course cheaper compared to German rivals but it’s acceleration is slower n speed in general is slower to German rivals n it has no ambient lighting :(
In my opinion best looking entry luxury cars these days and their top SUV looks like Bentley should look i assume same designer or studio are behind both brands Person in charge of Genesis moved from VAG after all
Also BMW guy moved to Hyundai
This channel feels delightfully German and I love it.
welcome =)
The one thing that I really enjoyed, was that you test drove the 4 cylinder version.
Most reviewers prefer to test drive the most powerful versions.
I really like what you did.
I'm a fan!
I own the 2019 3.3T Genesis G70.
I was given the 2.0 version as a loaner, while mine was in for service.
I was surprised by the power of the 4 cylinder version. I hated the start stop system, but was presently surprised by the acceleration!
Genesis easily make the best looking luxury products. The design is elegant and bespoke. Love the colors Genesis offers inside and out. Quilted leather looks so luxurious while also keeping physical controls/knobs which is all I want in my new car.
16:25 great looking car on the right side. Also great review as always Thomas! I've seen one in traffic the other day and they really do look premium
✌️
I really like what the South Korean car companies are doing now. Thanks Thomas.
Very nice design, and very luxurious 👍
Good job Thomas
Thanks my friend!
YES! It’s finally here! And I love it
Great review Thomas. Thanks. Definitely worth checking out.
Thank you for wonderful review !!amazing video as always .
🙏🙏
I really love the styling. It’s so elegant.
Thank you Thomas. Love the buttons and thank you for appreciating them. I congratulate Hyundai. Perfect 👍.
seen a few on the road, they look very very good.
Thanks for the thoughtful review. And I totally agree with you about the value of having hard buttons that can be used easily while driving.
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful timeless design
True competition for germans. Good design, no touch sensitive buttons, nice interior. Only the sound enhancement little too much...
Genesis design is far better than nowadays BMW
I really hope that Genesis comes to my country soon.
Great review. 👍
Waiting for the pricing and shooting brake 2.0T sport awd...
Not really a fan of the back profile of the car but overall, this is still a quite intriguing car.
Thank you for reviewing an new genesis g70 with facelift but you didn't mention they prices of all engines in Germany
Hyundai hired a lot of Germans like Albert Biermann for their Genesis brand, always interesting to see what Thomas thinks of these cars.
I hope you review g70 shooting brake. Because it will not be launched in korea
Amazing video! When will come the V6 3.3 AWD version?
Not anytime soon due to consumption/emission limits.
V6 is for normal countries only
@@artureff3046 There are fewer and fewer normal countries in this world.
Not a fan of the exterior, but damn, the interior is gorgeous, particularly materials and those details like metal buttons and inserts in the rear :O
The buttons are coated plastic.
@@mr.c3939 yea, you right, 40k~ car probably will not have metal buttons
@@mr.c3939also will not smash and cut your face in case of a serious accident, it's made of casant materials with this purpose.
@@mr.c3939 which is the beta material really from a tactile POV it feels like metal hit from a crash test POV it’s much safer.
@@mr.c3939 So basically every Mercedes including 2023 models. I babied my brand new 2012 c300 and all the black paint came off switches that were used and the backing is a white plastic so it looked so terrible. I've owned this G70 for a year now so we will see how it holds up in that regard.
NICE CAR
Real buttons and knobs!! 🙀😿🤧
I'm with you, Thomas. There is an automotive God of ergonomics...
Nice styling all around. Certainly the exterior has elements of the Germans' competition with even a hint of the Bangle butt of earlier times.
A shame this is sold only with that ancient 2.0T in Europe. The 3.3TT is where it's at, but really it should have been updated with the 2.5T like the Stinger.
Oh seriously? Why tho, I mean in US, that's like their biggest selling point. The sophisticated powertrains coupled with bespoke RWD platforms which is simply unheard of from premium Asian brands ...
Thank you for the interesting review. Some questions come to mind :
1) Will you test the shooting bake version ?
2) Have you heard something about à BEV version of the G70, ideally as a shooting brake? Now that would give the Germans concern, because it competes directly with a 3 series or a C-Class that have yet to come out in BEV form, if they come as beloved Kombis at all. I'm not counting the G80, because we still don't know if and when it will come to Europe
3) Would you say that Genesis has reached Lexus standards ? Because their benchmark aren't the Germans [no offense], it's the Japanese...
Yes we will drive the SB soon!
As for EV, G80 will be electric first.
Yeah I think u can very well compare it with Lexus
Very elegant vehicle.
Yes, that guy cleans the GV70, but there is no review of it on the channel yet 😁 waiting for it
Hey Thomas , i agree with you for the red color , when you say that the interior color is too much
They should make morde friendly and without leather , and uning more alcantara or fabric seats
ya indeed. Gladly base versions are animal free
Why is there no more "join us in full HD, full screen and full lenght" and cinematic shot intro?
He said that the CZcams algorithm doesn't like it but I don't understand how he knows that.
Indeed. CZcams algorithm doesnt like that, since obviously a lot of people hop out of the video during cinematic shots. Me myself, i loved the old intro format, but u gotta react on the figures :/
@@autogefuehl but how do you know that? How do you know that the CZcams algorithm doesn't like it?
Oh, thankyou for the replies
No mention of the "slot" design on the steering wheel? 🙂 3:30
Prefer these gauges to the semi analog version the US has for 2022. The V6 3.3t engine is good, but sounds like the new Genesis 3.5t is very good in the G80. Same for the new 2.5t versus the old 2.0t.
Much better than competitors.
As much as I like the facelifted G70 (especially inside) it has one major flaw - option policy. In every proper premium brand you can combine (almost) every option with every trim, every drivetrain, every wheel style etc. you can spec a car that is truly yours. Not in Genesis - base Premium variant is RWD only, Luxus spec is AWD only even if you don't want it (it compromises steering/cornering and increases fuel consumption). Same with interior trims - Premium has loads of piano black (which scratches even while looking at it) instead of aluminium which is not even an option. Why?
Yeah it's super annoying. It's different for each market though. Maybe that's how they do it for the European market. Here in Canada (and I assume the rest of North America), we don't get to chose anything. The car comes in 3 trims for the 2.0t engine, and 2 trims for the 3.3tt engine. However, the second trim up (the Advanced trim) already has aluminum in genuine leather. The Prestige trim which is the one I have, has the Napa Leather, power liftgate, passenger walk in device, heads up display, etc... It's a shame that Genesis doesn't make their cars more customizable, as I would have wanted the sport package with my 2.0t engine, but it's not offered here in Canada.
The Genesis Korea website on the other hand is FULLY customizable from interior trim to the colours, leather options, interior, wheels, sunroofs, etc. I don't think that it's super fair that the cars are only customizable in Korea, especially since Genesis is trying to become a bigger mainstream fighter.
This is interesting because in Korea, we can select every single option providing some thousands of combinations. However, we always get German cars in one or two preset trims only. It could have to do with where these cars are built. For the Korean market, all the German cars come directly from Germany. So perhaps in markets where Genesis factory is not nearby, the cars would be simply shipped from Korea preset with certain options.
@@minkukim that’s interesting. For the Canadian market, European and North American brands are extremely customizable, whereas Asian brands are far less customizable. For example, Toyota and Honda vehicles are barely customizable. Similar to Hyundai/Kia they have set trims that customers can chose from, and that’s about it.
@@cliftoncheng2003 It helps keeps the average cost per vehicle down, which a lot of buyers care about, I guess.
I wonder why the US cars don’t get the full 3 d dash? We have one real dial gauge and one computer screen which makes the car look cheap! It needs this dash or the GV70 dash.
What is the name of that silver!?????
Wann Bzw wo kann ich den G70 eigentlich kaufen? Auf der Homepage von Genesis finde ich keine Fläche um den zu konfigurieren und zum bestellen, würde mich freuen wenn jemand mehr weiß!
Frag doch mal beim Händler nach. Bald stellen wir übrigens noch den Kombi vor!
Tai, kad išvaizda nusistovėjusi nėra blogai, tačiau atšviežinimas tarytum nepalietė praeities dvelksmo savitumo. Vertingi vedėjo pastebėjimai dėl vairo veikimo, puikus vairavimas.
Could you review the facelifted Dacia Duster?
Its a very credible car,maybe can show Lexus a thing or two....
Something wrong with the multimedia screen.
I’ve found my new favorite car brand. The Germans have become so boring
to be fair you and Doug should get some normally sized people to review the rear seats :) If you need to transport 3 passengers chances are they won't be all 2 meter tall Danish shieldmaids. One tall person, however, can go to the front.
I guess ill go for 2023 G70 over CLA 250
finally its coming to europe but i think hyundai is late
The midcycle refresh version had a better-looking front end. But G70 is a really nice car to drive with the turbo v6. My typical complaint stands - it's still too big for my wants/needs.
If only they had dealers. I absolutely love my G80 but will never but another Genesis again until they build dedicated dealers. I have had terrible service experiences at both Hyundai dealers in my area. They are even subpar compared to the Chevy, Honda and Nissan dealers in the area. They can't touch the Acura, Lexus and Mercedes experiences. You pay a premium for high end luxury but you have to deal with the thrift store for sales and service.
I didn't know we could buy these in Europe. I haven't seen any of this in the UK, may be it is not sold here. It looks more beautiful than C Class or ugly 3 Series. I'd buy it without a doubt if i were in the market for fossil car. Prefer EV for now... 😎 Excellent review as always love the Thomas blue...
There is a Genesis UK website. They are selling direct or via shopping centres. Service is via taking your car away and delivering a loan car.
@@youbencowell I think I’d prefer to take a look at a dealer without the added pressure of having a car delivered just so you can look at one. So far there is a ‘studio’ in London, and I’m. Not planning a full overnight trip just to look at a car. I have a Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Volvo showroom within 5 miles of me.
You are not europe any more
@@TheKonstantin04 We are in Europe, just no longer in the EU.
@@TheKonstantin04 UK is still in Europe geographically, it's just not part of the EU anymore (European Union). Not being part of the EU doesn't mean you still aren't geographically in Europe
For the trunk…. 100x85x45…. Shouldnt this be 383 Liter instead of 330? Trunk seems bigger as the number says.
the measuring tech is always a little weirdo, it depends. Usually the first litre figure is also below the cover
Unfortunately front number plate completely ruins the attractive front grille.It would look much nicer without plate.
That is an extremely narrow lower boot opening. :x
And zero rear room.
These are some sexy as fake Bentleys, they look better so they should change their badge to supm more distinct rather than try to trick us into seeing a modernized Bentley, Genisis that's a nice brand right their 👌🏼
minor details I've notice when compared with the Germans, take for example door hinges, MB,BMW and Audi they are solid looking pieces (cast) where as in this car and other cheaper cars is a stamped steel hinge. Wonder if the suspension pieces are stamped steel or cast (solid) pieces that the Germans offer
I want it in kombi.
Genesis g70 look beautiful.
Apple Inc are hovering in the background
Awesome designs and awesome review! I don't like the ugly sensor plate on the grill tho. Mercedes does this as well and it is just an ugly blob on an otherwise awesome design.
Cheers m8!
you barely notice it
@@user-jg6gu87tfcdrtbb You barely notice it, I immediately see it ;)
In that segment, talking about design, i would pick the Jaguar XE.
1. Jaguar XE.
2. Genesis.
3. Lexus IS.
I would do
1. 3 series
2. Giulia
3. XE
4.G70
5. IS
None of those would be on my list.
Premium G70 vs cheapened functionality c class. The G70 is a much better value and I like the styling inside and out.
I hope they have overcome the dangerous recalls they admitted to earlier this year.....
Sounds like there is too much oversteer.
Otherwise not bad
- Shit, we forgot about the front reg plate.
- Just glue it to the grill.
Mercedes lost me when they went with the big screen in the front cabin, drivers should be looking at the road, not a huge panel of toys. I prefer the g80 over the g70, but still a lot for the money.
Attach price tag in comparison to make it fair. Buying German is buying Badge. For those needing perceived prestige to lift their image.
Sounds like a "you" issue.
I did talk about price, did u watch full length?
@@autogefuehl I think he meant a direct Comparison, you only mentioned the starting Price briefly. But I can see how it would be difficult to compare the different Offerings.
@@mr.c3939 ok its a me issue then.
@@autogefuehl always watch ur vid full length. Nicely done. Yet in comparo it should be relative to price.
9:33 sorry typical Hyundai(KIA, Genesis) ding noise
It is normal for asian cars.
@@dragospahontu ik but that sound is unique for Hyundai group cars
@@Werry_Rang yes but in general asian cars make more sounds.
@@dragospahontu Yeah I mentioned that I know that
Except you can't actually buy them anywhere
hyundai is going for the kill
Interesting cut as Thomas come off the autobahn and is careering towards stationary cars...
Even though I like the front, I can't help but think that it looks like a mix of Bentley and Volvo.
hoaspower
The name of this brand is completely lost on me. How can they use Genesis when they are literally the last brand to come into the game and their products offer almost nothing that other brands haven't offered already for decades or even a century in some cases.
Get your facts right. Genesis (Hyundai Motor Group) comes with plenty of new tech not found on any other car manufacturer before, I Let you do the research, since you're so sure about what you are saying. And besides the new tech, the name Genesis fits perfectly with the start of a new era of affordable Luxury cars
There's no catching up to do. Genesis is already better than the G20 BMW
Thomas, there's no way I'd ever buy one of these over anything German (or Italian) for that matter. I am enjoying my S Class 550 V8 currently and so are my passengers! ha ha ha
But Lexus is better quality
Without the v6 it stops competing with 340i and starts competing with a bloody passat. So disappointing.
It still looks like a mishmash of other cars/manufacturers. In the UK, it’s BIK is crazy expensive compared to say Mercedes and a Volvo. I guess they will be another Lexus.
there is no way for asian luxury car manufacturers to have a significant share in the market without having production facilities nearby. Obviously, european countries will protect european brands that are competitive in the global market, europe has always been like that because they can't handle if a non european brand outsells the local brands.
@@hodb3906 Kia produces in Slovakia and has R&D in Germany and UK. Nissan have produced in Sunderland since the mid 80s and Honda have produced in Swindon for nearly as long. Even infinity produced in the UK. The Qashqai and Sportage sell well.
These will never catch on, poor performing engines compared to euro cars, no hybrid, no electric, depreciation will be monumental, and due to depreciation, the finance will be uncompetitive to euro cars. So who in their right mind will put their hard-earned cash on this over a BMW, Audi, Mercedes, or even a Lexus? You will really, really have to like the looks to do so..
From what year is it? 2013? 😂
That exterior...yeesh. 😅
So how is the sport line exhaust considered real, while the luxury line is fake? Both have the exact same pipes, with decorative ends. The only difference is that the tips of the sport were attached to the pipe, while the tips of the luxury were part of the bumper. Sure the later look more outrageous, but the principle is the same. I'll have to start a "defund the Autogefuhl Fake Exhaust Police" petition soon.
I love the exterior, but the interior is not on par with the Germans in the G70.
It still looks too much like a Hyundai to me on the inside
It's an older interior. The G70 interior is on par with anything. It's really fantastic.
In 2021 seems like a old car in every way.
Competitor to Peugeot , Renault, Toyota. No chance for MB, BMW, Audi
Hyundai and KIA are competitors for Peugeot, VW, Renault and Toyota and Hyundai is killing them in the US for example and they are selling very good in Europe, catching up with VAG Group and Renault in Europe as well :) Genesis hits hard on BMW, Merc, Audi. Genesis are made to be better than the premium TRIO, at a better price
@@oktaviu8668 yea maybe in hungary where you live.
@@oktaviu8668 I’d say Kia/Hyundai are competition to Skoda, MG and Fiat. At least in the UK.
@ Snake Docotor Man Genesis is much better and more luxurious than BMW, MB and Audi.
@@Robertkajman its a ugly looking polished turd
Great exterior , ok interior... mediocre performance would get a bmw or Benz
It looks cheap
And bare metal door frames, it’s bad enough seeing that in a Golf.
@@MaximilianvonPinneberg it is well made
@@dragospahontu It may well be well assembled, but from what materials, and the bare metal doors is not 'premium'.
The exterior looks like a knock-off Bentley to me :/
Looking similar or arguably better than Bentley is hardly a problem, pretty sure same designer or studio made it, its nothing new decade or so ago Mondeo shocked everyone looking like Aston Martin as it was designed by the same designer
I was going to say 2015 Jaguar XE.
