  • No car is ever perfect, so shoppers are forced to constantly re-evaluate their buying criteria against the pricetag. Until the Genesis GV70 arrived, it was a rare vehicle that received so much praise from both guys, so there must be something special about it. As hard as it tries, it's still not a sports car! What's the big deal, then?

    I cross shopped the Macan & SQ5 and ended up choosing the GV70.
    6 months in and just had my first full service yesterday. No problems to report. This GV70 is everything I thought it would be.
    The one thing that stood out for me was how brilliant it was during the winter snowstorms. Never one felt like it was out of control or was going to get stuck in deep snow. FYI tires are Pirelli Scorpions.
    On a side note I do get a significant amount of hate. Mostly from Acura and Lexus drivers.
    Here what I find interesting, Porsche, Audi and Mercedes drivers sometimes gives me the approval head nod and occasionally ask “how I like the car”.

      They are just mad they couldn’t afford a real luxury car and are stuck in their shitboxes. Lexus and Acura are just a little more premium than their parent company. Their fanboys will do anything to justify their purchase.

    I've been driving mostly Japanese vehicles and a big fan of German vehicles, and test drove the GV70 (Base 4 cyl) and came away super impressed. I think 300hp is sufficient for my needs. Tech, fit and finish, ride, warranty were amazing but it's the ride that was 'goldilocks' - sporty but still a very lux ride.

There is a HUGE different in drive modes, from comfort to rowdy, mileage does suffer, but that's up to your right foot. Tech is fantastic, design language excellent inside and out, it gets noticed.

    Genesis has become my favorite auto brand. The way their vehicles drive, performs and their style, features, especially for the price their vehicles deserve to sell more. They have struck the bullseye with balance. I should absolutely be seing more of their vehicles out on the road but then I wouldn't standout as much or feel rare or special. My favorite auto segment is sport luxury, which is why I own a 2020 G70. If I was an SUV head I would absolutely own a GV70 just because I'm a fan of sport with a touch of class looking vehicles. And did I mention that Gensis is my favorite auto brand?

  • @Robert-jl7pf

    Thanks for the great review - interesting to have two "Porsche guys" positively comparing the dynamics of the 3.5 to the Macan. As the owner of a 2019 G70 3.3 Sport which I really enjoy, a move to a GV70 should be a no-brainer when the time comes. It's a beautiful looking vehicle. Hopefully Genesis will stick with this design language for a while (my G70 is already yesterday's news styling wise) and not fall victim to Hyundai's proclivity to constantly fiddle with / change designs. On the downside, "trying to adult" is an apt description of the dealership experience - some work is definitely needed based on my dealings.

    • @LegendsPizzaCo
      @LegendsPizzaCo Před rokem

      Completely agree. I was just telling a friend Genesis makes amazing cars but they have sub par dealerships. I feel like they should have separated the dealers from hyundai and trained the dealers to act like luxury car dealers. Instead they put the horse in front of the cart. They developed an amazing brand and amazing cars but haven't address the buying process. Before buying my 2023 G70 3.3 I went to 4 different Genesis dealerships. Every one of them was pretty unprofessional and you can tell by how casual they dressed they were uses to selling cheaper hyundais. Even their attitudes towards the customer wasn't on Genesis level. Several dealers keep their inventory off lot. So when we would want to test drive a certain color combo they would hop in a new G70 and drive it to their off site inventory to bring back the car we requested. Without fail every time they took off and floors the g70. Even launching them. This isn't how a luxury car buying process should go. Nobody wants to buy a sports sedan that was never broken I'm properly and red lined and launched by the sales reps. Just something I noticed while shopping

That's another charge. You want a steering wheel, well...the list goes on. My wife doesn't know anything about cars and never comments on them. We were on vacation and said I like that car.

One comment: It would have been better (IMO) to reverse the transmission rotary knob and the screen-controller knob on the console (front to back). The back knob falls to hand perfectly as I would be driving and sitting with my arm on the center console rest. Would have made it a lot easier to use the controls with THAT knob there, rather than the not-so-oft used transmission selector. Maybe next year, Genesis?

    2 summers ago I sent a car conclusion for my stepfather. He bought a 2021 CX5 which he likes a lot and got an amazing deal. But before he bought, he went to the Genesis/Hyundai dealer in Leesburg Fl. Asking about the GV70. They didn't know much about when or the price. It was the start of covid and lots of things were in limbo. His experience at the dealer was awful. High pressure experience from the general manager, who wouldn't even let him take a brochure on santa fe. My stepfather was driving a Kia Sportage with an expiring lease. They were too stupid to treat him like a human being and maybe move him into their sister brand. I mentioned this story in the conclusion there was a bit of talk about what a GV70 might be or turn out to be. I am really glad its so great. My step father is 90+ and not likely going to change cars, although I will suggest he should if it will bring him joy. I am very happy he was right in wanting one 2 years ago. BTW he has had great experiences with Mazda in Ocala FL. Sport Mazda Orlando has gone above and beyond for me with my 2011 CX9.

    Test drove the 3.5 V6 version based on nearly everyone's incredible feedback. However it turned out to be somewhat a let down. Interior is beautifully designed, but some of the touch points, especially the center control display where AC and seats buttons are, the entire panel moves when pressed. During the drive, the car made creeking noises from the headliner, rear passenger area, which reduce the supposedly luxury experience.
    The drivetrain has plenty of power, Sport+ mode just shoots the car forward, so speed is never going to be an issue. Problem again for me was the input points. The steering and gas/brake pedals feel incoherent when operating, steering is on the heavy side where the gas has quite a bit of travel and feels very light and a bit touchy, couldn't quite get myself used to the tuning, it just feels a bit unnatural.
    For the money the GV70 costs, there is a lot to like, but I feel while it's trying to draw a good balance between sporty and luxury, it also sacrifices excellence on one.
    On another note, it doesn't drive nearly as well as a V6 twin turbo Macan. Only comparing the two because of the drive train. In Canada a well equipped Macan GTS costs $20,000 CAD more than top of the line GV70, which is $76,500, while it is still a significant amount, once passed $70,000 mark, I don't think Genesis is quite there yet with the competition. In the U.S the pricing makes more sense.
    As a first attempt, Genesis did a great job, hopefully they will iron out some of the weak points.

    Really appreciate your review and thank you for making me laugh out loud! I am with you on the interiors to exterior colors. I caught the Porsche resemblance the first time I looked at it. Can do without the chrome. Love all the knobs and whozits! I'm not crazy about the plastic area that wraps around the rear plate and exhaust. Looks janky and cheap on an otherwise beautifully detailed car. I looked at the GV70 first, before looking at others in this class and walked away. You're making me rethink it! Good job!😉

    I own a GV70 Sport Prestige. I agree with most of the comments, but I find the steering to be overly heavy even in comfort mode. I would prefer lighter steering. The touch screen is too far away for me to reach. They should have used a small shift lever rather than having two knobs so close together. I like the piped in (artificial) engine sound; I have it set to the medium setting. I’m having the problem they mentioned with the limited slip rear differential. Occasionally it pops up a message saying “Check limited slip rear differential.” It happens roughly twice a week. The dealer tried topping off the differential fluid, but that didn’t solve the problem.

      Yeah, big problems with the LSD...check the forums. They are failing and usually need replacement parts that are backordered. One of the reasons I went with the 2.5T instead.

    i loved everything about the gv70 and placed a few orders so that when the right trim/color came in, I could go in and buy it on the spot. three hyundai dealers were so bad with customer service I ended up just giving on up the gv70. as a korean, it's sad hyundai dealership experience is so awful. there' no genesis standalone around me. I ended up getting an amg about a year ago and enjoying it but I agree with everything in the video, it's a great value all things considered. just sad that it's such a bad experience shopping for it.

  • @bmitchq777
    @bmitchq777 Před rokem +1

    I love almost everything about this car. My gripe is the cladding on the rear bumper and huge exhaust pipes positioned where they are. It's ugly and tacky. And the overall exterior design is about a 7 / 10 IMO. It's distinctive though so I do like that. The drive was excellent when I test drove it. And the seat comfort and materials were top notch. I really want to purchase but it just doesn't have the mature road presence I'm looking for. I wish it looked like the EV version in the rear. That would be enough to make me purchase it.

    I wish I could afford a GV70 2.5T Advanced or Sport Prestige but it’s so much more than a comparable Santa Fe Limited or Calligraphy with the same engine with the same amount of torque as the 2.5T in the GV70. The Calligraphy trim interior with the Coquina Beige Nappa leather & ambient lighting looks as nice as a comparable GV70

    Hey Sofyan & team,
    The GV70 offers a wide variety of modes for the driver to enjoy.
    As I approach 60 yrs old (and I'm a bit of a car guy) I totally love the luxury & comfort side of vehicles BUT also what to turn it up when I can. This GV70 3.5TT should really be about $20-$50K higher priced. It simply does everything really well and is 2nd to none is this segment when it comes to ride quality, comfortness, quietness all while surrounding the occupants with massive luxury features.
    It is called the baby Bentayga for many reasons. It is so quiet & refined when you want it to be - When you're stuck in traffic or going no where fast. My wife asked me if it was an EV as it was so quiet. Those double paned windows really make a huge difference. Plus the massaging seat is nice!!
    When you want to drive spiritedly switch it into Sports + mode and you easily hear the roar of the engine and the sweet exhaust notes while enjoying the rear wheel driving bias sporty experience.
    In comparison, the RDX A Spec it an excellent top rated vehicle but that engine is super noisy vs the GV70 and its a much more stiffer ride. Plus I wasn't impressed with the 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds to the GV 70's of 5.7 (4.9 seconds in the V-6). And the RDX weighs 450 lbs less.
    Its the luxury components/options, higher tech, standard features & options, the ride quality (can be extremely quiet & smooth AND aggressive and sweet exhaust notes) that makes this GV 70 THE clear winner in segment.
    Overall the CLEAR winner for me the is the GV70 3.5TT in Sport trim level. I'll take it in that Gorgeous Mauna Red exterior colour with 2 tone interior combination please:-)
    In Canada that full load price is $76,500 plus taxes. The F&PDI is included in that price. No discounts from that at all.
    The electrified version is coming out in 2023 but in Canada the top trim level will be about $25K-$35K higher cost to the ICE version. Besides its NO Gas requirement the EV version is a littler quicker with 0-60 times 4.3 to 4.6 seconds. For me I'd put down my deposit yesterday if the EV version had a time in the 3.5 second range. It will have a 500 kms range on a full charge.
    PS - Lots of dealer problems with Genesis in the States. Here in Vancouver No problems at all. I have 3 dealers within 40 minutes and the nearest is 15 mins away.
    Cheers all!!

Retained value percentage will likely be much better with Macan. Current value is way in favor of Genesis. I don't think they will be cross shopped that much. Porsche snobs won't even look at it.

    I like the long line from front to rear. I do not like the extra line over the rear haunches. Reminds me too much of cheaper Hyundais from recent years. And the silver trim around the back windows reminds me of the Carinval. Otherwise, very nice design.

      Yeah...that takes time. Decades. But Hyundai Group is obviously aware of this. I imagine they forecasted projections for market share & how the sentiment would change over the next few decades. And I"m sure they already calculated how much revenue they'll lose until the tides change.
      But I feel they're really close to fine-tuning their brand & once they setup their stand alone dealership experience...I'm sure it'll take off.
