- 2022 Genesis G70 Sport Prestige Review.
Back with an all new look, the G70 is here to prove to us that you don't have to buy a German luxury sedan to receive a nice balance of performance and comfort. Being one of the more affordable options in this segment, the 2022 Genesis G70 just might the most well balanced car on the market today? Can it give BMW or Mercedes Benz a run for their money? Let's find out!
Huge thank you to Genesis of Arlington in Arlington, MA for providing the G70 for this review!

Drove this a few times, and it really reminds me of what made the ATS so good and what had made the G35 so good. The G70 might not be as fast as a 340i, but the chassis dynamics and steering feel impressed more than the 3 Series and Audi S4
I finally got mine, Tasman blue and sandstorm grey interior... after a 3 month wait.... GREAT CAR...
It's a beautifully designed car! I had the previous 2.0T genesis G70 and it was great.
This new facelifted Genesis G70 with 3.3L V6 twin turbo is another level and I just upgraded it. It's a real rocketship 🚀 sports + is only on tracks in my view. Comfort and sports delivers more than enough power and drive safe 👌
Great review -- you've come along ways since you started. Really natural behind the camera now.
nice one dude
This refresh transformed the G70 imo. It made it more mature. I would recommend this over the Stinger unless someone absolutely needs the space from the Stinger's hatch and I have a Stinger. Another great assessment.
youre far off saying this looks like a stinger interior, the stinget has the circle vents very similar to Mercedes but i dont see the stinger when i look at the g70 interior
love my Genesis
Pick my 2022 3.3T prestige up today. Super duper excited. Picked over a S6 or 550i. Why? Reliability and warranty.
lease or finance?
@@el1teman finance. 15 down. Average credit and got 4% APR from the dealership as lender. Pretty straight forward. Was just as easy as my kia. Must have same standards across the hyundai group. Treated Much different when i went to lexus dealership. That was awful lol
@@coreylong7451 my morning maths are bad, so how much a month you pay? With taxes and etc for the cat and it's for 60 months finance?
@@coreylong7451 How much monthly?
@@coreylong7451 what’s your monthly payment like?
Great review! Can someone ask Genesis why they didn't include the 3D gauge cluster on this refresh for North America? Every other model in the Genesis lineup has this feature as an option!
I'll answer that in a few ways. First, the G80 was designed for the gauge cluster. The G70 is a refresh and ultimately was not designed to include it. It also targets a completely different segment of buyers. A G80 was probably targeted towards the experience. The G80 probably wants to enhance comfort, ease driving, and have gimmicks that separate it from its competitors. The G70 was probably targeted towards simplicity with a luxury trim. Proven and timeless technology is what is targeted.
@@KevinSmith-qi5yn this is actually not correct. the G70 has the digital cluster in Korea and canada also received it. a better guess would be due to the chip shortages so they cut back in some areas
@@brysal100 Yup that's true. I did research later, but will keep the comment as is. Personally, I prefer analog gauges.
@@KevinSmith-qi5yn agree with you, the chip shortage has nothing to do with this, and after seeing the korean versions with the digital cluster it does nothing for me. My wife has a GV70 and has the ambient lighting and the full digital cluster and its nothing special. on my 2023 G7 i prefer the analog look over the digital side.
Mannn I want this car ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The front license plate just kills that magnificent grill. Too bad if you live in a state that requires it.
We’re definitely jealous of the states that don’t require front plates. Vehicles like the Genesis G70 deserve to be left untouched
i live in a state that requires it but i still take mine off, cops dont mess with me just for that
Do anyone know of it tells you your speed with the exact number
my next car, this summer 2022, IF the dealers play nice.
Did they play nice?! I am looking at buying this but can't find one anywhere,.
@@rbasi25 Just go on their website..... C'mon .... !! SMH
I own a stinger gt and this might be my next car but the interior doesnt look like the stingers and i find it funny that you compare it to the stinger like the stinger is some terrible cheap car. I like the aluminum trim and feel like the stingers interior is nice so im not really understanding the negative stinger comparisons. You make it sound like the stinger is a ford focus
I subscribed just because im 5'4 lmao
from what I understand that plate bracket in the front does interfere with the proper operation of the proximity sensors.
i took my plate bracket off and nothing is affected by this
Yes we have to give Genesis the congrats for making the G70, but one cannot compared the G70 3.0 Vs the Bmw M340, the BMW wins on handling hands down. Autocorss too!
you must not have driven a genesis. over and over on channel after channel the genesis beats or is as good as the bmw handling wise. go watch more videos
@@LegendsPizzaCo Of course, the M340i is the bench mark for this segment. Acceleration wise, Bm is quicker and on the track, faster, PERIOD. For comfort and all the perks with the G, Bm can't match it...
Lol the “negative” is kinda looking like the Kia Stinger. That’s funny. The Stinger is not as attractive as this car and I don’t see where the comparison comes other than the interior.
I beg to differ. The Stinger is much better looking in my opinion. Not even close,
The G70 looks like any of the other 20 cars on the market that looks similar. It is a nice looking car but no way near a Stinger.
It looks nothing like a KIA Stinger interior...
True. Only similarity is the infotainment screen design.
@@doudymac even that looks different. they are completely different cars
The G70 should be offered as a 'Shooting Brake' in America... It would solve a lot of offerings!! Could Genesis keep up with the demand?
Awesome review BTW!
Would love to see the shooting brake here in the US, but sadly Americans have shown that they only want crossovers. Brands have tried offering station wagons, and buyers continue to go in the SUV direction
@@BostonAutoBlog I am one that would probably take the shooting brake. More space in the back seats and trunk but still great performance. Although I love the GV70 and that will probably be my next car in a year I would prefer the Shooting Brake for its better performance. Darn Americans all want to sit up high off the ground.
@@BostonAutoBlog but we buy the shit out of the civic sport and kia soul. So why couldnt a sporty one be sold. I do agree though i have never EVER seen an avant on the street. And those are sick as well.
Reviewers and enthusiasts keep raving about shooting brakes and wagons, but they don't seem to put their money where their mouths are when it comes time to buying - sales numbers for those who have offered them have been abysmal. I just bought a G70 3.3T SP last week, I would have chosen the Shooting Brake version if it had been offered at a price within $2K... but would have been challenged to justify more.
Never say that Acura s type instead say type s
the acurat ype S ia a major fail for Acura. They could have done so much more for $60k. the dealers think the Type S is special and tacking on an additional $7500 for "market adjustment" just wait till the numbers come out that they arent selling and that market adjustment will be gone
What?? The G70 interior looks nothing like the Stinger. Nothing like it at all. The new model looks good but the original looks just as good. It's the OG and will be a collectable in the years to come. Otherwise, great review.
G70 doesn't look like the Stinger
Never said it looked like the Stinger. The interior design is similar though
Ah, you noticed 👍
Prefer the looks of the previous model 😐
Still nice looking 👌
I definitely like the new redesign more. Just wish it had a bigger refresh. All digital gauge cluster an interior more like the GV70 and the upgraded 3.5T engine.
I like the 2018 design on the exterior
@@Fairburne69 I think they don't want to outsell it's bigger siblings like the g80 and g90 but I'll be happy with just 400 horsepower and a full digital gauge on the g70
Previous was a butterface. Update good face bad lesser rear
I'll take the Stinger over this. It looks better, has more space and the hatchback design is a lot more useful
And the rest of the world will happily watch you do so and keep the G70s for them 😂
@@zachishak25agreed there is no aspect of the stinger i prefer over this. The stinger interior is not that nice at all. I dont have kids tho my backseat space doesnt matter so i prefer the better looking and nicer car which is the G70
The dual light design and grill is 🤮
While the Koreans have improved their Kia Hyundai brand by bringing VW AG designers in a few years ago, I just don’t think they’re going to have as many dealerships as the big 3 German brands. nor will people paying 40k+ for a vehicle be eager to walk thru the same doors that a Forte or Accent shopper walks thru
I have to be honest, I don't like the refresh. It doesn't appeal to me aesthetically.
First, that crest grille is yuck. The split headlamps are inelegant (they should stretch around much further). The pre-refresh G70 looked much better.
And I miss the fog lamps.
Second, I like that the pre-refresh G70 could be mistaken for a Bentley or Aston Martin. Borrowing aesthetic sensibilities from other brands is a Good Thing.
Third, the rear end of the refreshed G70 is butt ugly (pun intended). The pre-fresh G70 looked much better.
Fourth, the refreshed gauge cluster, which is half physical and half digital, is unappealing. Make it all-physical or all-digital but *don't* do half and half. (The blind spot imaging could've been placed in the center display.)
Fifth, I liked the boomerang side vents on the pre-refresh G70. They gave the car a unique look. The refreshed G70 loses that uniqueness and could be mistaken for any other Genesis model.
The 2022 G70 is still an excellent vehicle but it'll never get the same kind of love from me as in the pre-refresh G70.
