Took delivery of our GV70 EV almost a year ago. The most common complaint is the range of 236 miles. We were concerned about this but felt the fast charging would make up for it. A year later in all seasons our GV70 average range is 250 miles. In summer temperatures of between 70-80 degrees F you will get 280-290 miles of range. By the way we live in Southern Ontario, Canada.

I continue to love (on my Hyundai Ioniq 6) how quickly and simply adjustable Hyundai / Kia / Genesis makes their brake regen. Some people *love* full 1-pedal driving, some people want it to feel like an old-fashioned car and coast until they hit the brake pedal... and this EV platform adapts to any style. But you missed what I think is the best mode of all, what Hyundai calls Smart Regen. If you pull and hold the right-side paddle for a few seconds, it changes to "AUTO" in the gauge cluster, and then you can click it to levels between AUTO 0 and AUTO 3. Then, it applies that amount of regen as you take your foot off the accelerator, but also it's using its forward radar sensor to watch the car ahead of you in lane, and it *adds a touch of extra regen to smoothly "ease in" behind that driver* as they slow or stop at a light. In my opinion it's telepathically good, decelerating smoothly exactly as I would have done, so I love AUTO 1. Some people can't stand the car "deciding to brake for them", so they can just turn it off. If you still have the car available to test, you should try this mode in traffic. Great review! I haven't drive any Genesis cars, but I like the interior and exterior aesthetic.
Love the electrified GV70! One clarification, the GV70 (and other 800v E-GMP vehicles - EV6, Ioniq 5, etc) max around 245ish kW. Hyundai/Kia/Genesis say charge times on a 350 kW charger because the typical 150 kW or 200 kW chargers wouldn't achieve the charge time that's quoted. But it doesn't actually charge at 350 kW. It does have a REALLY solid charge curve though.
I've never seen more than 238kW on my GV70, but I think the 350kW is right as this is the max that it can recharge with regen braking. You just can't pull that much from the plug.. I might be wrong though.
@@ab3040 I would say MUCH better than Hyundai. In select locations, they will drive a Genesis vehicle to wherever you are (either at home or work), drop off their vehicle for you to use, drive your vehicle to get the oil change or servicing and then when complete, drive your vehicle back to you and pick up their car. They understand that the most valuable commodity for people who have money is their time. That's effin outstanding
Here in Switzerland Genesis opened Stores at the most premium Locations in the main Cities. Also they will come and get your car for service and deliver it back to you.
Yea. They just opened the Genesis dealership next door to the Hyundai when I closed my sale last week. Hopefully this will make a strong impact. My wife has a Tuscon so can't say Hyundai has been bad, just want a more upscale experience if I'm dropping $76k MSRP for a vehicle. Thank God 4 dem rebates tho!
I love that it's so easy to change the regen level while driving. Being able to quickly change how the car response, speaks to the car's design goals. It's all about comfort and luxury.
Haha. Just leased this last week. Former Volvo XC60 owner. Love that others on the road don't know this is an EV so it allows me to easily beat everyone at the lights or merging. 😈
Me too, less than 2 weeks. Came off from 2021 xc60 lease as well. I don't miss the xc40 / xc60 at ALL. As of April 2024,Genesis has a 13 month lease this month for the ELECTRIFIED models. Per Genesis offers website, Advanced trim of the gv70 Ev is 499/ month, 3999 down for 10k miles. 😮 I got 9500 cash back ("EV Lease Bonus") for the 13 months gv70 lease, now there is a 17500 cash back for the 36 month gv70 lease, cutting down another 100 LESS monthly compared to what I got. The Gv60 advanced is 469, gv60 Rwd is 379 (same 3999 down) but only max 11000 EV Lease Bonus from Genesis. .....OR ... .... Wait 1 year and you can get 10 % increase in battery capacity and EV range without any increase in weight in the gv60, gv70 or IONIQ5.
As of May 2024, Per Genesis offers website, Advanced trim of the gv70 Ev is still 499/ month, 3999 down for 10k miles. Only difference now is slightly higher 18000 cash back for the 36 month gv70 lease.

Am I the only one who gets excited when a new Auto Focus video drops just so I can see if Marques included a goose shoutout? This is one of those videos. It's a good day lads
I have the gas version. Been using since 2 years. The ride and handling is so satisfying. Very well thought out. It has its practicality issues but makes up more than enough in all other parts
I got one last year in the UK. absolutely love it, regularly get 260m range, very comfortable and once you press the boost button it instantly lights up your face!
@@markplott4820 Very different. cars. The G80 destroys Model S in many areas that it is designed to be good at, and Model S destroys G80 in many areas that it is designed to be good at. Tell me you know nothing about cars without actually telling me. Next, you're going to tell me a Mustang Darkhorse is better than Porsche Cayenne. And again, it probably is in some areas.
The parallel headlamp and taillamp equal width strips are a master stroke of branding and design. All previous Genesis brand aesthetics were amalgamations of other design tropes till they finally nailed it.
@@trstnhnTrue. Indeed, much like Mazda trying to enter the luxury game in the early '90s Hyundai had to take a few swings before getting it right. They even experimented with the "Equis" name before hitting a home run with this enviable design language. I swear other automakers are saying "why didn't we think of that?"
I’m a bit skeptical of the charging port at the front. I Love how hidden it is however In the event of a front impact accident the front of your car is screwed along with the charging port. And your cars main source of power being broken like that is kinda scary cuz if you do manage to drive your car away from the accident, it’s broken so you can’t recharge the car later on. You’ll need to fix the charging port immediately before your car turns into a brick.
It is clear OP has never owned/driven an EV with the front charge port, this writer does and has a KIA Niro with the front port. Its the best place for it- I know from experience. As to your HANDY, built in a mental vacuum, accident; if the charge port is on the drivers side fender near the door and you are "T" boned on that side, the port is broken as well. OR, if its in the back and---well, the open minded reader sees the point. There is NO place for the charge port that cannot be damaged in an accident. And that goes for a gas car as well. Have an accident where the car and the filler tube are, and you cannot re fill the car till the repairs are made.
@@harriettanthony7352 that’s not the point tho, the same logic can apply to cars in general, you could drive off a cliff and have a car completely wrecked. You’re more likely to damage your front bumper than you are to get T-boned which is why I left the comment. If you get rear ended (which is an extremely common accident) you could roll forward and hit the car infront damaging your front bumper. Happened to my dad last month. If you knew anything about cars the goal is to minimise as much damage in the event of a crash. Hence why crash tests are done before a car goes into product. We’ve seen these design concept in many cars before, the charging port at the front is a design flaw. For example, many cars have a mechanism which drops the engine in the event of frontal crash to avoid injuring passengers. This is an example of a good safety design. Bumpers as a whole have 1 primary purpose, to house engine components and suppress the crash to protect those components along with the passengers. Hence the name “bumpers” In the case of electric cars there is no engine to protect which is great, however housing the vehicles charging port in the bumper (the part of a car with the sole purpose of suppressing a crash) is a pretty stupid idea. The reason why I brought this example up is for the event of a minor “bumper to bumper” crash. If you get tboned you’re probably not driving away regardless. If you slightly hit the car infront of you and damage your bumper you may be able to drive away, but you may not be able to charge your vehicle anymore. It’s not the same as hitting your bumper and breaking your headlights, those are negligible, charging port is not negligible because it’s your vehicles primary source of power. Without it, you can’t charge which means you can’t drive.
@@harriettanthony7352 also you can refill a car if the car cap is damaged. A car has a fuel tank, whether the tank is exposed or not doesn’t matter as long as the tank and everything else are fine. I don’t even know why you commented, I’m an actual engineer and I’m pointing out a design flaw. I’m sure the engineers that designed this car knew it would be a flaw but thought the seamless design was worth the sacrifice. I dont think you envision your examples in your head before you typed them out. If you get tboned you have worst things to worry about than the gas cap. You need to remember EV charging ports are a bunch of wires, a gas cap is a tunnel leading down to the fuel tank. Hypothetically if you cut that tunnel in half you can still refill the tank because the fuel tank itself is fine. Only way you couldn’t refill the tank is if the tunnel has been bent shut in the accident. In that case you can just open it and refill. I imagine if the EV charging port gets damaged you’d have to replace the part which may take a while to order and receive. And since the charging port is within the bumper, you’ll need to replace the bumper to house the new charging port. Meaning if this cars bumper and charging port gets damaged, you need to replace Atleast both parts. (Unless you’re fine with a dangling charging port at the front of your car)
Marcus! Thanks so much for this video. I really enjoyed it and I also related to it. I recently rented a Genesis G80 for a long road trip, and I came away with an assessment of that one that is very similar to yours on this GV70. Plus, I had the exact same experience you did the first time I tried to find the charging port. I had to look it up online! One more thing you need to know about that front charging port is that after a couple of nights of highway driving, the front grill is covered in smashed insects, which you have to deal with one way or another in order to open or close the port. That was an interesting experience. :-). Just get a pair of gloves! Otherwise the G80 was very similar to your description of this one except that I think the range must’ve been longer. Overall, I would certainly rate the G80 as an EV road trip beast. I really enjoyed it a lot.
In all these new EVs a front end crash will quite likely total the car. Teslas get totalled even if the frame gets slightly misaligned by a slight touch at 10 mph.
@karankenZ well any car with a bent frame even slightly is considered totaled as it jeopardizes its safety, so insurance companies just total the car. I'm not sure how easy Teslas frame can bend but that's sad if it's fairly easy.
@@Some0ne001 In most modern cars it is super easy to bend frame. My friend got rear ended slightly on her BMW 230i and it was totalled because of bent frame. There's a reason insurance costs keep rising 10% YOY. Things are just plain stupid these days. This front charging port is not gonna be a problem since getting hit these days most of the time leads to totalling.
It's a clever way to integrate the charge port access to the bumper design but I rather have an obvious one in the back because it's risky on the front. That's a real big deal
I test drove a Genesis GV70 before purchasing a CPO BMW iX. I liked the exterior of the GV70 better than the iX, but the BMW dealership experience was much better than the Genesis/Hyundai/Kia. The white interior of the GV70 looks good in pictures and on camera, but looked cheap in person, and the interior is much smaller than I anticipated. Additionally, the GV70 has both under and over steer when pushed. I also wasn't a fan of pushing the boost button to get the extra power when needed, as I didn't want to fumble around in the steering wheel when trying to go quickly. Pretty car, but flawed. Looking forward to the version 2 of it.
Interesting. My local Genesis dealership was much better than the few BMW dealerships I visited but naturally, this will vary from location to location. I test drove the 4 cyl GV70 and came away thoroughly impressed - 300hp is more than enough for my needs. Big fan of the exterior but it's really the interior that stole the show - yeah, white is nice but not practical. Looking for a 2 year used one haven't found the right one yet and values appear to be holding up surprisingly well. I think 99% of people really don't need that extra power and if you do, it's really not that difficult finding that button at the bottom of the steering wheel. Agree, V2 will likely be slightly larger (guessing with the addition of a hybrid) which should make it even more interesting to many... Um, have to discount your comments on Genesis styling...given that you bought an iX. I'm a big BMW fan, but the iX is not what most would consider a good looking vehicle. Those beaver buckteeth are a sight to behold. Hope you like it though...
They just got approved for Genesis standalone dealership. Right now all Genesis dealerships are basically add on to Hyundai dealership. They will have standalone genesis dealerships end of this yr. Hyundai/kia have one of worst dealership experience in the car brand. Our hyundai/kia dealership shares waiting room with service mechanics. Oil stains and with 50+ cup stainless coffee machine along with cafeteria steel chairs. Sadly dealerships are owned private and hyundai/kia won't enforce better environment for customers. They are pretty and with alot of options but they will not last long.
@@Evergreen319 dealerships should first have better standards for service department. Better pay (flat rate needs to die), AC in the summer, running water/restrooms nearby, etc. Only then is it time to fix the CuStOmeR ExPeriEncE.
Bought a Genesis gas Gv70 2024 3.5 AWD sport advanced this year... and boy let me tell you... the car is fucking AWESOME. I literally get into my car everytime with joy. Looks: great luxury: great performance: good Bang for your buck: excellent I looked at comparable models from Porsche, Audi, BMW, and Acura... the Gv70 takes the cake because its comparable if not better in every way besides "brand" name. Not to mention it was significantly cheaper. Cannot recommend Genesis enough. Only thing I've heard negative is that some people have had poor dealership experiences.
Common misconception that regen levels affect how much energy you recuperate. Just changes the strength of the automatic regen. If it’s all the way off, when you press the brake it’s still regenerative
I really like how the main screen dosent take over the whole dash. The inside is 🔥 but the outside is boring as hell. I absolutely love what they did with the charging port in the grille.
Well that’s sure strange! Consumer reports, (one of the only unbiased and non-paid ranking) lists Genesis as 18 / 30 for reliability. Below Nissan for instance 😂😂
@@PJboy443 huh, yeah you’re right. Just checked in with JD Power and Consumer Reports and it seems Genesis is not having a good year. The Hyundai Group absolutely killed it in 2022 though with all 3 subsidiaries being some of the highest awarded brands. Kia has been dominating the competition for the past decade, but it does seem that Genesis has taken a stumble which is a shame. Last time I checked (roughly a year or two ago) they were leading the charts.
Love these car reviews and this car looks dope! The charge port placement is sneaky, smort. I do like that they have a bunch of interface that helps non-ev drivers feel more at home. If you're going to continue reviewing electric vehicles, please take a chance to review NIO cars? I think they have a headquarter in San Jose and I've seen a couple of people visit to review cars!
I thought another automotive company had been ruined by someone who doesn't know about engineering just that read the brochure. But at least this car was saved this time.
Well Tesla Model Y standard has around that much too. But in reality EV with E-GMP platform has more real-world range. I have Model 3 Standard, EQS450+ and had EV6 for loaner. EQS has extremely accurate range every single time(350mi), EV6 is pretty accurate if you drive like a grandma(240mi). But Tesla its more like 210ish in real world, it gets worse on highways. I wouldn't say its too bad but agree that its still not enough to be comfortable about driving it.

Simple and easy listening review 😊Good job. I would be interested to know the performance figures though. Terms like ‘pretty quick’ are quite subjective. Agreed that Genesis are under rated.
The touch sensitive seat controls on the screen are exceptionally cool, GM's controls are not clear when they have the massaging seats and it is a pain to teach that technology to people from the villages
The "auto" regen mode on Hyundai/Kia/Genesis vehicles is super underrated too in my opinion. The feature actively changes the level of regen based on the gap between you and the leading vehicle. Takes all the thought out of braking.
I remember Marcus introduced Auto Focus. If someone randomly asked me today for how long do I think this channel has existed, I would say “don’t tell me it’s been a year already” And it’s actually two years? Time flies
Got this car about a month ago from the GV80. Definitely a little tight on the inside but fun to drive. Agree the battery life is the biggest hiccup you have to deal with but if you’re going electric it’s a great option. They included 3 years free charging on mine which was a huge factor.
A lot of the driving user experience is present in the KIA Niro EV. I found the paddles really nice and wish my Taycan had them. I got the most efficiency turning regen off and coasting rather than level 3 or 4. Level 3 is nice for stop and go city driving since everyone assumes cars slow down faster than EVs do when coasting. The Niro has the front grill charging port location and it was really nice for both EA and ChargePoint parking spaces. It was not as convenient for charging on the street from high mounted EVSEs.

I love that it's so easy to change the regen level while driving. Being able to quickly change how the car response, speaks to the car's design goals. It's all about comfort and luxury.
OH SWEET ANOTHER FREAKING CROSSOVER I CAN'T WAIT
Haha. Just leased this last week. Former Volvo XC60 owner.
Love that others on the road don't know this is an EV so it allows me to easily beat everyone at the lights or merging. 😈
I went from a ‘17 Volvo S90 to a ‘22 Genesis g70. I miss the Volvo service so much. But the Genesis has had absolutely no problems unlike the Volvo.
Me too, less than 2 weeks.
Came off from 2021 xc60 lease as well.
I don't miss the xc40 / xc60 at ALL.
As of April 2024,Genesis has a 13 month lease this month for the ELECTRIFIED models. Per Genesis offers website, Advanced trim of the gv70 Ev is 499/ month, 3999 down for 10k miles. 😮 I got 9500 cash back ("EV Lease Bonus") for the 13 months gv70 lease, now there is a 17500 cash back for the 36 month gv70 lease, cutting down another 100 LESS monthly compared to what I got.
The Gv60 advanced is 469, gv60 Rwd is 379 (same 3999 down) but only max 11000 EV Lease Bonus from Genesis.
.....OR ...
.... Wait 1 year and you can get 10 % increase in battery capacity and EV range without any increase in weight in the gv60, gv70 or IONIQ5.
As of May 2024, Per Genesis offers website, Advanced trim of the gv70 Ev is still 499/ month, 3999 down for 10k miles. Only difference now is slightly higher 18000 cash back for the 36 month gv70 lease.

@@ibentTube Volvo service is so much better. They came to my house to drop the car off and I signed paperwork for 15 min. Genesis I had to come onsite and it took close to 2 hours to finalize everything. Basically luxury dealership VS "luxury" car. But the tech in the GV70 is amazing. Using my phone as a key, charging 10-80% in 20 min. Great car
Am I the only one who gets excited when a new Auto Focus video drops just so I can see if Marques included a goose shoutout? This is one of those videos. It's a good day lads

Seems like the Canada Goose spends most of its time in the US! We have alot of them here to, in California.
I have the gas version. Been using since 2 years. The ride and handling is so satisfying. Very well thought out. It has its practicality issues but makes up more than enough in all other parts
I got one last year in the UK. absolutely love it, regularly get 260m range, very comfortable and once you press the boost button it instantly lights up your face!

Repairs on the front bumper are gonna be insane with needing to fix the charge port
The charge port in the front is standard on Kia and Hyundais. It works great!
Nah
oooh that seat control sensor feature is actually sick!
also I love how the charge port is hidden into the front grille
also lol that is such a strange bug with the dictation... and also the geese did this one abruptly ig xD
The parallel headlamp and taillamp equal width strips are a master stroke of branding and design. All previous Genesis brand aesthetics were amalgamations of other design tropes till they finally nailed it.
But they only had 2 models before this design, which were the G80 previously known as the Hyundai Genesis and the G70.
@@trstnhnTrue. Indeed, much like Mazda trying to enter the luxury game in the early '90s Hyundai had to take a few swings before getting it right. They even experimented with the "Equis" name before hitting a home run with this enviable design language. I swear other automakers are saying "why didn't we think of that?"
@@keithartworker Oh, ur right. I forgot about the Equus, which is now the G90.

Just bought one on Tuesday.
I’m a bit skeptical of the charging port at the front. I Love how hidden it is however
In the event of a front impact accident the front of your car is screwed along with the charging port.
And your cars main source of power being broken like that is kinda scary cuz if you do manage to drive your car away from the accident, it’s broken so you can’t recharge the car later on.
You’ll need to fix the charging port immediately before your car turns into a brick.
It is clear OP has never owned/driven an EV with the front charge port, this writer does and has a KIA Niro with the front port. Its the best place for it- I know from experience. As to your HANDY, built in a mental vacuum, accident; if the charge port is on the drivers side fender near the door and you are "T" boned on that side, the port is broken as well. OR, if its in the back and---well, the open minded reader sees the point. There is NO place for the charge port that cannot be damaged in an accident. And that goes for a gas car as well. Have an accident where the car and the filler tube are, and you cannot re fill the car till the repairs are made.
@@harriettanthony7352 that’s not the point tho, the same logic can apply to cars in general, you could drive off a cliff and have a car completely wrecked. You’re more likely to damage your front bumper than you are to get T-boned which is why I left the comment.
If you get rear ended (which is an extremely common accident) you could roll forward and hit the car infront damaging your front bumper.
Happened to my dad last month.
If you knew anything about cars the goal is to minimise as much damage in the event of a crash.
Hence why crash tests are done before a car goes into product.
We’ve seen these design concept in many cars before, the charging port at the front is a design flaw.
For example, many cars have a mechanism which drops the engine in the event of frontal crash to avoid injuring passengers. This is an example of a good safety design.
Bumpers as a whole have 1 primary purpose, to house engine components and suppress the crash to protect those components along with the passengers. Hence the name “bumpers”
In the case of electric cars there is no engine to protect which is great, however housing the vehicles charging port in the bumper (the part of a car with the sole purpose of suppressing a crash) is a pretty stupid idea.
The reason why I brought this example up is for the event of a minor “bumper to bumper” crash. If you get tboned you’re probably not driving away regardless.
If you slightly hit the car infront of you and damage your bumper you may be able to drive away, but you may not be able to charge your vehicle anymore. It’s not the same as hitting your bumper and breaking your headlights, those are negligible, charging port is not negligible because it’s your vehicles primary source of power. Without it, you can’t charge which means you can’t drive.
@@harriettanthony7352 also you can refill a car if the car cap is damaged. A car has a fuel tank, whether the tank is exposed or not doesn’t matter as long as the tank and everything else are fine. I don’t even know why you commented, I’m an actual engineer and I’m pointing out a design flaw. I’m sure the engineers that designed this car knew it would be a flaw but thought the seamless design was worth the sacrifice.
I dont think you envision your examples in your head before you typed them out. If you get tboned you have worst things to worry about than the gas cap.
You need to remember EV charging ports are a bunch of wires, a gas cap is a tunnel leading down to the fuel tank.
Hypothetically if you cut that tunnel in half you can still refill the tank because the fuel tank itself is fine. Only way you couldn’t refill the tank is if the tunnel has been bent shut in the accident. In that case you can just open it and refill.
I imagine if the EV charging port gets damaged you’d have to replace the part which may take a while to order and receive.
And since the charging port is within the bumper, you’ll need to replace the bumper to house the new charging port.
Meaning if this cars bumper and charging port gets damaged, you need to replace Atleast both parts. (Unless you’re fine with a dangling charging port at the front of your car)
Marcus! Thanks so much for this video. I really enjoyed it and I also related to it. I recently rented a Genesis G80 for a long road trip, and I came away with an assessment of that one that is very similar to yours on this GV70. Plus, I had the exact same experience you did the first time I tried to find the charging port. I had to look it up online! One more thing you need to know about that front charging port is that after a couple of nights of highway driving, the front grill is covered in smashed insects, which you have to deal with one way or another in order to open or close the port. That was an interesting experience. :-). Just get a pair of gloves! Otherwise the G80 was very similar to your description of this one except that I think the range must’ve been longer. Overall, I would certainly rate the G80 as an EV road trip beast. I really enjoyed it a lot.
that seat visualization is incredibly cool.
hyundai and Kias reputation was steadily going up, but I think the recent kia boys trend set them back YEARS
How
So if you have a front end crash where that charging port is you could be super duper effed instead of just regular effed.
In all these new EVs a front end crash will quite likely total the car. Teslas get totalled even if the frame gets slightly misaligned by a slight touch at 10 mph.
@karankenZ well any car with a bent frame even slightly is considered totaled as it jeopardizes its safety, so insurance companies just total the car. I'm not sure how easy Teslas frame can bend but that's sad if it's fairly easy.
@@Some0ne001 In most modern cars it is super easy to bend frame.
My friend got rear ended slightly on her BMW 230i and it was totalled because of bent frame.
There's a reason insurance costs keep rising 10% YOY.
Things are just plain stupid these days. This front charging port is not gonna be a problem since getting hit these days most of the time leads to totalling.
Why? The receptacle isn’t powered and not any more expensive or fragile than headlights, radar, a radiator, the hood etc.
This is a korean car brand, they aren't manufactured with the American crash/accident-centric drivers in mind.
I want a Genesis so bad! They're so gorgeous.
Really impressed by the quality of the 15 pro, you should upload in HDR
Can we get some applause for the lack of piano black!
That’s some nice air con temperature.
It's a clever way to integrate the charge port access to the bumper design but I rather have an obvious one in the back because it's risky on the front.
That's a real big deal
Love Genesis just waiting for 350+ range :) great review Marques!
I test drove a Genesis GV70 before purchasing a CPO BMW iX. I liked the exterior of the GV70 better than the iX, but the BMW dealership experience was much better than the Genesis/Hyundai/Kia. The white interior of the GV70 looks good in pictures and on camera, but looked cheap in person, and the interior is much smaller than I anticipated. Additionally, the GV70 has both under and over steer when pushed. I also wasn't a fan of pushing the boost button to get the extra power when needed, as I didn't want to fumble around in the steering wheel when trying to go quickly. Pretty car, but flawed. Looking forward to the version 2 of it.
all dealerships are cringe
Interesting. My local Genesis dealership was much better than the few BMW dealerships I visited but naturally, this will vary from location to location. I test drove the 4 cyl GV70 and came away thoroughly impressed - 300hp is more than enough for my needs. Big fan of the exterior but it's really the interior that stole the show - yeah, white is nice but not practical. Looking for a 2 year used one haven't found the right one yet and values appear to be holding up surprisingly well. I think 99% of people really don't need that extra power and if you do, it's really not that difficult finding that button at the bottom of the steering wheel. Agree, V2 will likely be slightly larger (guessing with the addition of a hybrid) which should make it even more interesting to many... Um, have to discount your comments on Genesis styling...given that you bought an iX. I'm a big BMW fan, but the iX is not what most would consider a good looking vehicle. Those beaver buckteeth are a sight to behold. Hope you like it though...
They just got approved for Genesis standalone dealership. Right now all Genesis dealerships are basically add on to Hyundai dealership. They will have standalone genesis dealerships end of this yr. Hyundai/kia have one of worst dealership experience in the car brand. Our hyundai/kia dealership shares waiting room with service mechanics. Oil stains and with 50+ cup stainless coffee machine along with cafeteria steel chairs. Sadly dealerships are owned private and hyundai/kia won't enforce better environment for customers.
They are pretty and with alot of options but they will not last long.
Why do we still have to deal with stealerships
@@Evergreen319 dealerships should first have better standards for service department. Better pay (flat rate needs to die), AC in the summer, running water/restrooms nearby, etc.
Only then is it time to fix the CuStOmeR ExPeriEncE.
Not expecting a Savagegeese collab anytime soon. Marques must have been attacked by geese as a kid.
Bought a Genesis gas Gv70 2024 3.5 AWD sport advanced this year... and boy let me tell you... the car is fucking AWESOME. I literally get into my car everytime with joy.
Looks: great
luxury: great
performance: good
Bang for your buck: excellent
I looked at comparable models from Porsche, Audi, BMW, and Acura... the Gv70 takes the cake because its comparable if not better in every way besides "brand" name. Not to mention it was significantly cheaper. Cannot recommend Genesis enough. Only thing I've heard negative is that some people have had poor dealership experiences.
I couldn't live with a white interior but love everything else!
Common misconception that regen levels affect how much energy you recuperate. Just changes the strength of the automatic regen. If it’s all the way off, when you press the brake it’s still regenerative
Not really. I think most people understand it just affects coasting/coming to a stop without brakes.
that's absolutely wrong. So you're saying EVs don't have brake pads?
Savagegeese cameo 🔥🔥
I really like how the main screen dosent take over the whole dash. The inside is 🔥 but the outside is boring as hell. I absolutely love what they did with the charging port in the grille.
Glad you're loving the electric GV70. 🤩
Bro gonna be putting golf courses out of business soon too 😅😂
Waiting for Europe to say all EVs will have type C 😅
9:44 That's a great detail. Love it.
I have the standard gas 2022 G70 3.3L twin turbo sport prestige, and I love it. Super reliable, super comfortable, and nearly pushes 400 hp.
This audio sounds like you’re in a studio🤯🥸
I love to see Genesis getting more and more attention every day; as the world’s best car brand it is what they deserve.
World’s best car brand??? That’s honestly hilarious. It’s a Hyundai with a cushy interior 😂
@@PJboy443 well if you look at reliability statistics and customer satisfaction, then you’ll be met with the world’s current best car brand.
Well that’s sure strange! Consumer reports, (one of the only unbiased and non-paid ranking) lists Genesis as 18 / 30 for reliability. Below Nissan for instance 😂😂
I know you’re just a fanboy or own one of those heaps, but the stats literally disagree with you
@@PJboy443 huh, yeah you’re right. Just checked in with JD Power and Consumer Reports and it seems Genesis is not having a good year. The Hyundai Group absolutely killed it in 2022 though with all 3 subsidiaries being some of the highest awarded brands. Kia has been dominating the competition for the past decade, but it does seem that Genesis has taken a stumble which is a shame. Last time I checked (roughly a year or two ago) they were leading the charts.
the beef with birds is so wild to me no pun...as always great review.
Love these car reviews and this car looks dope! The charge port placement is sneaky, smort. I do like that they have a bunch of interface that helps non-ev drivers feel more at home.
If you're going to continue reviewing electric vehicles, please take a chance to review NIO cars? I think they have a headquarter in San Jose and I've seen a couple of people visit to review cars!
I thought another automotive company had been ruined by someone who doesn't know about engineering just that read the brochure. But at least this car was saved this time.
looks like genesis is staying in business!
One thing to consider with the front charge port, now a minor fender bender can turn into a much bigger and costlier situation.
That charging port location is cold 🥶🥶🥶 Nice one!
The moment you said 236miles, it feels as if there is no point in watching the rest of the review.
Wait 1 year and you can get 10 % increase in battery capacity and EV range without any increase in weight in the gv60, gv70 or IONIQ5.
Well Tesla Model Y standard has around that much too. But in reality EV with E-GMP platform has more real-world range.
I have Model 3 Standard, EQS450+ and had EV6 for loaner. EQS has extremely accurate range every single time(350mi), EV6 is pretty accurate if you drive like a grandma(240mi). But Tesla its more like 210ish in real world, it gets worse on highways. I wouldn't say its too bad but agree that its still not enough to be comfortable about driving it.

Thank you for today 💜
Damn I forgot all of this was filmed on a phone until you mentioned it… I guess that proves what it needs to be
On an iPhone*
That design, I’m really fond of it. It’s so thought out…
The touch sensitive seat controls on the screen are exceptionally cool, GM's controls are not clear when they have the massaging seats and it is a pain to teach that technology to people from the villages
The "auto" regen mode on Hyundai/Kia/Genesis vehicles is super underrated too in my opinion. The feature actively changes the level of regen based on the gap between you and the leading vehicle. Takes all the thought out of braking.
Genesis makes great cars and they look so good.
I remember Marcus introduced Auto Focus. If someone randomly asked me today for how long do I think this channel has existed, I would say “don’t tell me it’s been a year already”
And it’s actually two years? Time flies
Its about time our boy gave Genesis the recognition it deserves!
The mic is so good. No more wind noises 😄
Got this car about a month ago from the GV80. Definitely a little tight on the inside but fun to drive. Agree the battery life is the biggest hiccup you have to deal with but if you’re going electric it’s a great option. They included 3 years free charging on mine which was a huge factor.
This car is damn fine. Just saw one today and its profile is awesome.

Keep the good work man
Really like this car, comfort ftw! Agree on the less power more range bit too :)
damn that interior looks nice
The interior is so nice
That’s modern fancy 50s interior is beautiful
A lot of the driving user experience is present in the KIA Niro EV. I found the paddles really nice and wish my Taycan had them. I got the most efficiency turning regen off and coasting rather than level 3 or 4. Level 3 is nice for stop and go city driving since everyone assumes cars slow down faster than EVs do when coasting. The Niro has the front grill charging port location and it was really nice for both EA and ChargePoint parking spaces. It was not as convenient for charging on the street from high mounted EVSEs.
Sharp looking vehicle. I like it for the most part
Damnnnn he’s so fine with all this confidence and sass!!
