Hard to believe that the #GenesisG70 has been on sale in America for two years already. For 2022, @GenesisUSA is giving the #G70 a very extensive overhaul with new styling front and rear and an upgraded 10..25" touch screen inside. The new #G70Sport still comes with a powerful 3.3L twin-turbo V6, now making up to 368 HP with the optional sport exhaust system, while its RWD platform it shares with the #KiaStinger will allow for some hilarious tail out shenanigans whenever your right foot demands it.

Also, we are still waiting for Genesis to send us the new GV70 SUV, they are in dealers now but apparently Genesis is sending us the car sometime next month and there will be an embargo on driving impressions. Stay tuned!
Nice car where's your camera man
Between this and the Type S, which do you prefer and why?
The 0-60 on the m340i is 3.7-4.0 so it’s quicker than all the others in the segment. The s4 is 4.2 I think
21:53 - Sofyan, I love how you just parked in the middle of the street like a G! 😅😂🤣
embargo? Ive seen many videos about it already, like Rattis rides
"Soft touch injection moulded plastic" What an iconic line.
Don’t even get me started on soft touch injection moulds for the dashboards, my co op at Toyota had a engineering project and mine revolved around this mold exactly. It’s fucked
Best in this segment
@@nicholasroy8835 because it's difficult to clean?
I’m pretty surprised they didn’t add a full digital gauge cluster in the refresh
Right? My 2020 sonata even has that, along with ambient lighting.
It's so strange! In other markets, this has come with a full digital dash since 2019.
Actually keeping half digital and half analog seems like a decent idea, if everything went out digitally, you can still see your speed and fuel level, and the digital half cycles through all the features that you would need to monitor.
me too, it´s a shame for a luxury brand.
Full digital gauge cluster is garbage. Its the cheap way out for the makers and it looks cheap. We have enough screens. Using real gauges costs more money and looks better. The best way is to have analog gauges with a screen.
I am obsessed with that 2-tone interior!!!!
My Launch Edition has the all red interior.
Agreed interior is very nice
Genesis is completely killing it!!
Yeah but why are the new g80,and g90 models not selling I see no one buying them
Does it require premium gas or it can run on regular
@@covector4787 premium, I used to work at Hyundai. Premium gas allows the car to last longer
@@demetriusgreen4174 mostly cause they have few dedicated dealers and they are a new brand
@@MattCC16Gaming I think they swung and missed here in the United States with the 2021 lineup , the sedans did horribly, yeah they sold a few Gv80 suvs, and the price point turned off the consumer
I do a lot of "curbside" youtube car review watching. Some are quite good; many are so-so to just lousy. Your reviews are comprehensive, you give clear explanation and background info, and you not only fill us in on tons of details, you share your honest opinion, emotional reactions, and present it all very clearly with a professional, yet friendly style. Thank you for such great reviews. I enjoy watching - even reviews on cars I would never consider purchasing! Keep up the great work!
I've been waiting for this review from you! Thank you!! 😄
If I could get the 2022 interior in the 2019 exterior… dream come true. I still don’t know how Genesis can offer all this at this price point regardless.
The new GV70 is killer. Genesis is making some of the best vehicles out there now. I also had a Stinger GT and thats am amazing car..
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I love the design. It is sophisticated without being ostentatious. Has power to burn.
Personally, I think the exterior of the pre-refresh model looks better, but I think the refresh was necessary nonetheless. All the vehicles are now distinctly Genesis, and I think that's important. Previously the G70, G80, and G90 all looked completely independent of each other so the cohesiveness is definitely a good thing for the brand going forward
I love your reviews. I’ve bought two cars you’ve recommended highly a 2019 ES F Sport and just bought 22 fully loaded G70 3.3 RWD. Thank you keep it up
Was waiting for this review! This vehicle drop dead gorgeous great review
Great review! I just bought the Sport Advanced (rather than Prestige shown here) a month ago. I LOVE this car! Perfect combination of sport and luxury, and just sexy in my opinion. I did look at the German cars online, however I didn't go test drive them. On paper, they were mostly more money or less engine (or both). Plus, I just like to drive "something different". I looked at the Infiniti Q50 (and 60), Acura TLX (S wasn't out yet but is a few $K more), Cadillac CT5V, Kia Stinger, Lexus IS350 F Sport. I had originally seen the 2021 G70 and wasn't impressed with the interior screen and body styling, it just looked too much like all the other sport sedans out there. When I saw the '22 model, I was in awe. I definitely get a lot of "nice car! what is it?" comments...which I love.
Waiting for a long time from you. Thanks for the review. Thinking about buying one.
I actually love it! I would opt for the AWD V6
I own a 2022 G70 3.3T and it is a screamer!!! LOVE the car in every way--the steering, braking and overall feel exceeds any other brand I have been in. EXCELLENT product--if you like--buy it!
I wanna lease one but a tad bit out of my price range😩😩😩
@@Jiggy609 lmao that’s how I am right now, I wanna get the Kia stinger he reviewed
@@Jiggy609 how much is for lease?
This is a gorgeous interior... I love it...
looks like 6y old mercedes interior
Always enjoy the videos would be great to hear about cabin noise too👍🏻
I was stuck in between the tlx type s and this, I think ill go with the g70, great video my guy 🕺🏽
I love what updates to the rear end of the car but I think the front end was better looking on the previous year. I like the split/double tail light look in the rear but not a fan of the duplicated style head lights. Also not loving the front grill nearly as much as the previous model.
Over all good looking car though.
I live in Vancouver, Canada and just had the GV70 w/ 3.5TT overnight and totally fell in luv with it.
Its a Luxury CrossOver that has plenty of power. It won't outperform the more sportier Benz GLC 63S AMG power & torque nor the X3 M 40i, or the Macan Turbo but the LUXURY (quieter & smoother ride) and the VALUE Proposition will have you thinking a few times over if the German options are really worth it for the extra cost. GV70 has the edge in my books b/c of the Ext & Int styling PLUS high level of materials used in the Int as top notch. I like to invest my money whenever possible and change out my daily every 5-10 yrs.
This GV 70 has many Luxury features, new updated interior, that ext styling and enuf power (less than 5 seconds 0-60) to have tons of fun with. Its exceptionally quiet in the cabin and in Comfort mode it really is a smooth ride.
If ur comparing the GV70 to the Germans you will be blown away with all the luxury standard features (Drivers side massaging seats, front heated & cooled seats, that massive center screen, the move forward & back option on the key fob, massive sunroof & moon roof, AWESOME sound system, all the safety features, etc...) It really does offer an AWESOME VALUE vs the Germans. PLUS the scheduled maintenance for 5 yrs is INCLUDED!!!
the price in Canada for a full load with the interior CF trim, 360 camera, quilted leather, etc is $75,500 including F&PDI. Just pay taxes and doc fee.
I'm VERY Very impressed:-)
Now, do I choose the non latest interior and refreshed exterior G70 sedan which is a little quicker but the rear leg & head room is tighter or opt for the roomier, up to date & latest interior GV70 that soaks up speed bumps & road imperfections that is also much more quieter, but about $10K more cost?
Fantastic VALUE options either way.
Cheers from Vancouver.
Good rhythm and pace of the video and good quality production also like the fast narration.
It looks REALLY good! Genesis is doing great things. My unbiased opinion, if I was in the market this would be on my short list. TypeS, G70,IS500,
Solid list
I agree, the ct4V blackwing is on my list too
What about the kia stinger gt?
@@secreteyz I’d consider that one as well.
@@youngbrevy Test drive this G70, it's an incredible machine, scary amounts of power in sport+ mode and the exhaust sounds so good in the cabin, not loud but you can definitely tell the car has that power just from the light throaty rumble of that V6. I'll be picking up the Sport Advanced AWD version once my trim level comes in.
Amazing car. One of the first I've seen that has all positive reviews across the great majority of YT car reviewers.
They make hands down the best interior 🙌
I like reading the comments. Especially the ones from the complainers.
Why don't Genesis do this, why don't they put this.
If Genesis did everything that the complainers want, the vehicle would be too expensive.
If you desire a V8, go to their competition.
Genesis is offering this. If you desire more, that's why they have competitors.
No manufacturer is going to satisfy everyone.
Most of the complainers aren't even in the market for a new vehicle .
Great car, and such a bang for the buck value in the segment. Even the Q50 Red Sport is more expensive.
Love it. Great review 👍🏽
Lexus should consider a Turbo V6 for the IS, to competes with these. New design looks sharp but the 3.5L on the IS350 is ancient and slow AF. In fact the base engine of some of the sport compact is faster than the uplevel engine 3.5L V6 on the IS350.
It has a 5L v8 tho, probably next gen will
Agreed, the IS500 FSP is great but it needs AWD. At this point an Accord and Kia K5 is quicker than the IS350.
Agreed they absolutely nailed the styling. I hated the previous IS but this one reminds me of the original 😍.
If either of these turbos fail out of warranty.....good luck
You want this want that. buy the other models then, stop waiting for Lexus. When they make something you like them you can come back.
The Adriatic Blue is my favorite Genesis color 😍🔥🤩🙌🏽!! The Mallorca Blue is nice but this blue is perfect to me
Redline Reviews always provides such a comprehensive and informative review. Great job.
just picked up a 23 Sport Prestige AWD . absolutely love this car . I smile every time I drive it.
I'm jealous. I'm going to wait 12 more months to get one. I was gonna go for the 24 4cyl with the 300hp engine but I've always wanted to own a V6 so fuggit 😁
I work on these everyday, these are definitely one of my favorite only problem I’ve seen commonly is the front cover leaks
I’m asking because I’m really fanning over this car. It’s going to be my next car. Is that an expensive fix?
What front cover ?
@Zack Orwig what do you mean by front cover leaks???🤔
Didnt even know the pre refresh even had a model with halogens. Good info and great video!
Love the black and ivory interior, such a sexy combo.
If I was to spec this for a future car, this would be it. That color of the exterior and interior is absolutely 😍
Looking forward for your 22 kia stinger gt review!
Great value, and very reliable too!
I LOVE this car and this color! This will be my next vehicle.
That time was done downhill tho 😂
i noticed that too
ikr
he's doing all these 0-60s on unlevel ground its infuriating lol. the car is definitely quick probably 4.7 or 4.8 but not 4.4 haha
Test drove one this past weekend. Trading my 1.5T accord sport. I fell in love immediately. Can’t wait to take it home
I have a 2022 Accord sport 1.5 and I’m stuck between this and the GV70 with the 3.5tt how much better is the G70 compared to the accord ???
My wife has the 2019 Model. Personally, I think this refreshed version is much better looking and it comes with a better screen and updated infotainment system. Overall, and upgrade in every single way.
In my opinion, this is a stunning refresh in terms of design and some of the mechanical changes. Much better than the previous G70. So good, that I'm going to test drive one!
I like the new grill. I think the point at the bottom is a nice stylistic touch. I don't care for the instrument panel and center stack, though. Not only do they look outdated, they weren't very nice design-wise to begin with. It's an awkward rather than charming asymmetry. Do appreciate the larger infotainment screen, though.
Probably one of the best cars I've ever test drove. I just wanted the GV70 creature comforts because I test drove that and they hit it out of the part with it.
The Shooting Brake looking even nicer!
The previous biggest size of the Infotainment system screen was 8" so now it's been bumped to 10.25". The base screen size was a 7" screen
this is the perfect color combo
4.49 secs?! Damn cars in general are getting so fast. I remember 4.5 secs in a sports car was fast. Lol
That's is really fast, i would put the money in other places,
This is about what my 16 Mustang with full bolt on can do ! I no longer want my Mustang lol! Imagine bolt ons on this car😳
Yeah it's crazy, heck the Subaru outback can do 0-60 in the 5sec range. 😲
My old Camaro stands no chance 🤣
@@dnegel9546 I was looking @ cheap 2012-2014 Audi S5's with V8's. That 0-60 for a performance spec V8 displacement is 5.4 secs. Old cars got nothing on new car speed. Oh well...still might get one because the sound & it's well under 20K.
@@ajtam05 yup we'll atleast we can enjoy the sound a V8 makes. And in my case I love the pushrod shaking me from side to side 🥰
Def love the new model look ‼️
Two years later, allow me to echo the sentiments of preferring the old style at the time- and now completely pulling a 180. The updated styling is so much better it’s almost ridiculous.
I appreciate this Review. Thanks! I think that extra room in the rear seat, and trunk space with a hatchback (Stinger or GV70) swings the decision away from this super-fun-to-drive sedan.
Nice video-this car is a great value!
This thing is a lot of bang for your buck 💯💯
Such an excellent luxury sedan way to go genesis
How far back is your driver seat though? I'm 5'8" and I would definitely move the seat up more to accommodate the rear passenger.
The new G70’s front end looks better in person than in photos or videos. But while the previous gen was a little bland by comparison, I preferred it over this. This design looks better on the new GV70.
I have this same exact car and I love it. The only issue is the mpg but definitely a great car.
Me too! I love my car! 😃
Do you have interior rattles? Seems like coming from the sunroof.
@@Ballista762 No rattles on mine.
I have 2019 stinger I am getting 27 29 mpg on premium
MPG is pretty standard for this class, especially a v6. Maybe look into a four cylinder or electric if this mpg bothers you.
redline was the first to sell me on a genesis, my lease is up i am thinking of reupping again with hyundai
4.49 0-60!! I found these cars with the tt v6 for 44k brand new gorgeous interior. What a bargain, try to get a 340i and you 60k in jus to compete. Awesome review have been enjoying the reviews
MT broke 4 seconds with the M340i xdrive (3.8)…nothing in this class comes close. But for the $, Genesis is a great buy.
Ridiculous that you would consider 4 second too slow. Lol soon 2 seconds 0-60 will be too slow too 🙄🙄🙄🙄
I agree with your comment re the pointed grill, fortunately, the placement of the registration plate softens it a bit.
This 'Adriatic' Blue' is nice. 'Mallorca Blue' is what I call a ' Crayola blue' or a 'child's blue' .The two tone light gray and black interior looks great! It's a shame we cant incorporate infotainment screens.
I got one of the last 3.3tt 2021's on the lot. Im like you idk if I like the new one better or not.
For a vehicle characterized as at the top of the heap among sport sedans, the actual sales of the G70 have been dismal. When it was introduced in 2019 dealers in the US sold nearly 12,000 vehicles, slightly fewer than the closely related KIA Stinger (14,000). In 2020 sales of the G70 dropped 21% to about 9400 units. Not especially surprising given the effects of the pandemic on auto sales. Still, the G70 suffered more than most other vehicles including the Stinger (12,500 sales) . Unfortunately, sales of the G70 in 2021 have shown little signs of recovery with only 4800 sales in the first six months of this year.
So what has Genesis done to address the weak sales of the G70? Except for some improvements in eye candy (e.g. a larger infotainment screen) and some changes in the exterior styling the answer is almost nothing. The back seat and trunk space are still cramped compared to its rivals. Even worse, they've left the 2.0L 4 cylinder engine in the entry level G70. KIA, on the other hand, with sales of the Stinger nearly as weak as the G70, has replaced the 2.0L engine the Stinger had shared with the G70 with the 2.5L turbo in the GT-Line entry model. That's surprising considering how widely deployed the 2.5L turbo 4 is among KIA, Hyundai and Genesis vehicles. (It's even the base engine offered in the GV70 SUV and the larger G80 sedan.) In the Stinger, the new engine has improved 0-60 performance to about 5.2 to 5.5 seconds compared to the 2.0L version of about six and a half seconds. With the new engine the Stinger is as little as half a second slower than the 0-60 time of the Stinger GT1/GT2 model reported to be about 4.7 seconds.
The G70's problem in terms of sales is fairly easy to identify. The base version is so unappealing that it's outsold substantially by the V6 twin turbo version. It's not surprising to see Genesis drop the MT in the base version of the G70. Like most automakers the take rate for a manual transmission is so low that it's unprofitable to offer it. What is surprising is that Genesis has done almost nothing to address the slow sales of the G70 base model as it eliminated the only feature of the G70 4 cylinder model that could be said to appeal to "enthusiasts."
Self-styled "enthusiasts" may not care that the G70 base model hasn't been improved. And Genesis may have felt that improving the performance of the base model would cannibalize sales of the more expensive, more profitable twin turbo V6 models. But KIA apparently recognizes that even in niche markets, sales of entry level models provide a revenue base that supports offering higher performance models. BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Audi all recognize that. Genesis apparently does not.
When y’all doing the gv70?!?!? Patiently waiting
Would you take this or the Elantra n?
This G70 is totally one off my dream CAR 🚗 love your work 💪
Woohoo 🎉🎉, G got 🔥🥵🔥🔥, love it.
Swatting away the fly at 5 mins and didn’t skip a beat! #protectsofyanatallcost
Hi Sofyqn, my name is Luis Urbieta and I love this content. Keep it up and I think Genesis did a great job but it is not perfect. What if cars were 100% perfect? Love the videom
Genesis says the new 3.5L twin turbo is too big for this chassis. It'll be on the next full refresh.
I just dont see the need. Its 7 hp and 21 lbsft more.
@@imjashingyou3461 I havent checked but it also matters where the power is in the rpm band im guessing the 3.5 has stronger low end and is also more tunable.
@@imjashingyou3461 it could probably do more, will be saved for Sportier models
The next one prob gonna be all electric. I doubt moving forward too many car companies will be releasing any more gas cars
I like your reviews. As one who is mourning the loss of cars with manual transmissions, I am requesting that when you review cars, please comment on whether the auto has a manual mode and whether it will hold gears without auto intervention and shift up and down on demand. For me, a car must have a true, controllable manual mode auto to be seriously considered.
AYES YES YES FINNNALLLLYY IVE BEEN WAITING
@4:40 the side vents on 2019-21 were minimal but functional.
I LIKE Your Car Review
G70 is gorgeous interior and exterior. You can have the BMW 3 series, or Mercedes Benz C- Class, only other vehicle I would consider is the Acura TLX Type S, Lexus IS500. Test drove a Genesis G70 3.3T awesome vehicle. I would definitely buy one.
cant wait to see the reviews of the shooting break/wagon!
That front end has elements that are styled right, but honestly it's overkill with the diamond pattern, almost like it's been adorned with a baseball fence. Can't imagine cleaning that after driving around a midwestern lake on a humid night.
Your intro music sounds very empowering
You look like a BOSS in the G 70 😁👍💪
Excellent car. Seems to have just about everything. Good looks and great performance. The only thing that disappoints a little, is that just stepping on the gas from a dead start seems to have a slight bog or lag before getting into full acceleration. I do understand that using launch assist is popular these days, but just stabbing the gas pedal from a dead stop is the way we always used to do it. I still have my 2017 Buick LaCrosse with it's 310 horsepower 3.6 V6, and while it much slower, only hitting 60 in about 5.8 seconds, it has no lag and lights up the front tires instantly if traction control is off and sometimes even when it's on. I'm considering trading in my LaCrosse for a G70 when I make my last LaCrosse payment in August, but wish the G70 had that instant response off the line like my Buick has. Possibly it's due to Turbo lag, since my Buick isn't Turbo assisted. Also I would miss my 30 -33 mpg that I get out on the road with my Buick. My overall average in the Buick over 60,000 miles is 27.8 mpg, but lower in town. Really wish the G70 could match that, but the increase in acceleration in the G70 would be well worth it. Beautiful car.
test drive the car and try both the following, 1) instant full throttle hard core, and then 2) try tipping in fast to full throttle, I noticed that the turbo lag is much less and still provides good pull.
dude the g70 will shit on your lacrosse no matter turbo lag
The look is fine, but I personally liked the pre-refresh 2019 - 2021 look better.
Does the standard model comes with the blind view cameras on the turning signals?
Bro, my hair is on a permanent vacation! Fortunately I have the right face and head shape for a shaved head. The G70 is badass looking!
saving money to buy one of these used in couple years..
Can we get a comparison with this and the m340i or this and the type s?
I LOVE the new looks. The pre-refresh body was just Okay IMO, TLX-tier
Nah TLX a tier above, only in terms of performance though.
You say it’s an “automatic “ which it is but I don’t think you mentioned that it has the new DCT. It would have been nice if you had used the paddles and offered feedback. I’ve heard that is a very capable transmission.
Feel like the sonata has more luxury features, smart park, ambient lighting, digital display for example
The GV 70 is the same way $42,000 Santa Fe calligraphy has acoustic laminated glass, full digital display etc. and you only get that on the $64,000 GV 70.
@@iCodyonline The GV70 also drives completely different on a different chassis and is way faster, plus has better appointed materials and looks ten times better than the Santa Fe.
In the United States the features gets fucked up ,however, back in Korea, they get all of the features you mentioned... even in the Middle East....
Does the 3 series, have any of those items?
@@melo2048 That’s not the point we are making the point we are making is the cheaper versions have all these technological features that the more expensive ones do not regardless of chassis and motor.
Beautiful car!
Now redline I have to ask because this will determine if I get this car . Dose it have the have the new genisis welcome chime
I love it! I do love the point in the grill I think it makes it look more aggressive and prestigious.
Thought I liked the grille at first. The more I’m looking at it, the more it makes my stomach turn.
FYI
The side vents on the previous model are functional!
I prefer the back from the previous model
That backseat is just a killer. Guess the GV70 it is.
"Pentagon-shaped" grill - or maybe a Superman-emblem shape?
