A long time ago, the best choice for a sport sedan was a BMW 3-series or Mercedes-Benz C-Class. With times changing and electrification looming, so other choices are apparent for buyers looking for a compact sport sedan. #Cadillac is no stranger to this segment and the latest #CadillacCT5V is a midsize offering in a compact segment. The #GenesisG70 is one of the newest players and even though #Genesis doesn't have much experience, the #G70 has been one of the best new sport sedans money can buy since it came out last year. Both the #CT5V and and G70 sport twin-turbo V6 engines with over 350 HP in rear or AWD. For around $50k, which one of these new sport sedans is the best?

[@theredline]

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. Today, we have the latest luxury sport sedans going head to head. Before you see which one we choose as the winner, let us know which one you guys would put in your driveway? Cadillac CT5-V or Genesis G70 3.3T?

[@johnholst]

I'd take the G70 because I don't really care too much about the back seat and it's 10K cheaper. But if I needed the space, the CT5V still represents a great value.

[@officialcarblog8132]

I'll take the CT5 because I love GM technology and the space the car has.

Fantastic video Sofyan ...I really enjoy what Cadillac is doing with exterior design.... The interior is super lackluster, I'm thinking that it's time to go to some old school dash layouts with screens and tech in the right places.... The sonata interior looks miles ahead of the ct5s interior....I love the green color but not the combination of the light/dark leather with the green... Very mismatched.... The g70 refresh is insanely good... I'm so excited by everything HYUNDAI. But Cadillac wins this one hands down! Thanks for the work you put into this video

Sofyan I love your videos. Been subscribed to your channel since the Ford dealership days. You say you are always looking for suggestions on what we want to see and how to improve the viewer experience. Well I have one suggestion: rolling shots. I would love to see what the car looks like rolling down the road. What it looks like doing a launch from outside the vehicle. Also if you get a truck or suv maybe find an off-road area to show shots of that and test as well. These are just suggestions I think others would like to see as well and if not then keep up the great reviews and no matter what I’ll be a subscriber for life. Cheers.

[@reneschneeberger6601]

Thanks for comparing these two vehicles. The Cadillac is well done but oh my, that design of the rear three quarters! What a wasted opportunity to make a car look great.

Nice review. However, I'm confused by your driving evaluation regarding handling. On paper, one gets the impression that the G70 handles better, but I think you thought otherwise (skid pad, etc). Also, it's tough to determine how one slots these Caddy's. It's like at least 1/2 car up versus the G70 based upon price and size- or is it the Genesis line that's hard to slot? And from your review, it sounds like the Caddy is priced 20% higher. That's a chunk of coin. I have to admit, I'd torn, but I like the size of the G (no need for backseat room and the G's folded seats leave a much larger opening to the trunk. I also am biased as I own the G, but the C wasn't available when I bought mine. Now the updated G70 should help with the dash, but the rear seat room is, I think, unchanged.

CT4 is in a different class.

[@zonapainter]

@@lttsr it's the same size as the G70

[@lttsr]

zonapainter Yes but they compete in different classes and that’s what Sofyan said in the video. Cadillac deliberately makes tweeners so they’re the size of a larger class while costing the same as the lower one. Both of these cars compete with the S4, M340, and C43. The CT4 competes with the A3. Now he can do a follow up video with the CT4 to see how they stack up but they aren’t competitors

[@zonapainter]

@@lttsr you can believe what you want, but price isn't the determining factor for competitors in class. The CT5-V is the same size as the CTS-V. How many automotive publications did you ever hear say that the CTS-V competed against a M3? Zero. It was a direct competitor to the M5, E63, and RS6.

[@lttsr]

zonapainter Just use your common sense please. You’re gonna tell me that GM is going to price their 5 series and E class competitor more 20k less than their competitors? Really? Are you that stupid? Not even Hyundai/Genesis does that and Cadillac has far more brand cachet. It’s very obvious which class of car they were going after especially when you look at how the trim levels and horsepower stack up. They did it deliberately to give themselves a competitive advantage. Why do you think the CT4-V has only 325 hp and has a 4 cylinder? Hint, it competes with the S3 but is the size of the A4. Maybe you should use your head a little bit.

Would love to see a review between the Ct5 vs G80 too.

[@GoofieNewfie]

The g80 will win.

[@jamieheim8009]

@@GoofieNewfie then compare it to the black wing edition.

[@SlipAngleG70]

I sat in the new G80 yesterday and it's stunning, however it's much more luxury orientated.

[@Jluislive]

That would have been more Appropriate.

[@Los_Chanchulleros]

@@GoofieNewfie the G80 is bigger than the Cadillac, so there is no exact comparison between the two brands... although if we were to compare the two brands in general, I would say that although Korean cars have improved a lot in recent years they are *still lacking a lot to become real premiums* .

[@Mikefoxx55]

Why do reviewers always comment on the radar sensor on Genisys cars but never say anything about the Mercedes one, which is also the same 🤔🤔🤔

[@muhammadtariq6330]

Mike Foxworth because you literally get the same features on genesis in general than Mercedes for about a million Dollars less

[@Mikefoxx55]

@@muhammadtariq6330 you're so right.. they can't stand to see a car that costs 1/3 of the price having the same or better features.. 👍👍

[@mahamadakram9149]

genesis better than cadilac 😏

[@NisuUuno]

G70 will be refreshed next year. Wait for it.

[@devondelgado1818]

The screen size is on the genesis is a very nice size not to big or not to small. I don’t know why these manufactures feel the need to have such massive size screen, it’s ridiculous

[@ehut12]

with the genesis you get german levels of performance with japanese reliability. best of both worlds! #teamgenesis

[@wagrj5738]

All the newer hondas are not reliable tho

[@ehut12]

SEAN QU i know. i was referring to toyota’s and mazda’s

[@caglioso]

Naturally aspirated Honda’s still have great reliability but the 1.5t has that oil dilution issue which is a shame.

[@AkiraSieghart]

The CT5-V is much bigger than the G70 although they're both very similar in terms of luxuriousness. But sport-wise, the CT5-V blows the G70 out of the water. Same thing with the G80.

[@peteyification]

This is EXACTLY the comparison I wanted to make before I bought my G70. Thank you, Sofyan! :edit: Even though the CT5 is your pick, I don't feel like there was enough of a difference to make me regret my choice. Great review!

[@HellzHonour]

I went with a Stinger over a G70 because it has a hatchback, red interior with ambient lighting, less expensive and better looks (IMO, the G70 also has headlights that look like a 2017 Elantra sport.)

[@peteyification]

@@HellzHonour I guess that last one is personal preference, lol. Still, the Stinger is a great car! Hope you've been enjoying it.
