2022 Genesis G70 Shooting Brake Review - 40% more Trunk Space!

[@jeffreywong8382]

The shooting brake looks great! I would love to see this trim being offered in the US.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Hope you guys get shooting brake in US.

[@christianmbabazi9722]

If there's enough vocalism for it yes 🙏🏽

[@gleej8120]

@@christianmbabazi9722 No...wagons do not sell here in the US because of the appetite for SUVs/CUVs. It's unfortunate. Every now and then a manufacturer will try, but no go. You can still get a Volvo wagon here, and Audi has a couple, and Mercedes, but these are all very niche vehicles. A couple are performance based while the others are considered all terrain or a luxury wagon. Most of them are well north of $60k. In reality, these are much safer than an SUV because of a lower center of gravity. It is inevitable to see SUVs that have flipped in accidents. People have a false sense of security while driving them.

[@genelew6631]

I’m glad wagons are making their way back! I used to drive a Volvo 850 wagon and I really like the Audi wagon but the Genesis is Way more affordable! Also they handle better than most SUV’s and is low enough to install a roof capsule and perhaps get better gas mileage as well. Congratulations to you and your crew and channel Charlie!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thanks Gene.

[@oluseyigearhead4466]

I most definitely prefer the shooting brake to the sedan. It looks nicer too. One reason I may pick an SUV over a wagon is because I live in Nigeria and the country is riddled with bad roads. The GV70 for example has better ground clearance which helps with the tackling of the bad roads compared to the low sitting G70.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Oh, yes, SUVs would be better if you have bad road conditions.

[@jasontoms2859]

Congrats on 200k, Charlie. You've done a great job of developing your own style, while giving us the facts we need. Keep up the good work.

[@moongu]

Wagon/S-brake > CUV/SUV !! Sad to read that this G70 shooting brake won’t be coming to the US due to general poor sales of wagons here. This thing is a beaut!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, low number of sales. but really hope you guys get the shooting brake in US. Thanks.

wagon is only populer in good road condition country,, in US or Asia, most of the road is awful, thats why suv is more popular

[@caltech25]

Congrats on 200k subscribers - you are one of the only channels (in English) that feature all the wonderful cars coming out of Korea. It's your channel that I first saw the 2023 Genesis G90, and I have been in love with the car ever since (sadly, not available in Canada.... plus I can't afford to spend $130KCAD on a car). Thank you for the amazing content, and giving people on the other side of the Pacific a glimpse into cars that we wouldn't normally get to see. The shooting break G70 looks really good... arguably better than the Volvo V90 wagon. I hope there is enough demand from the North American market to see the wagon/shooting break style cars brought over.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you so much for your support. Yes, we couldn't have done it without you guys. Thank you so much!

[@cheongyei]

Congrats on the subscriber milestone!! G70 hatch looks great.

[@jimhall3810]

Outstanding review. I have a request. I would like to see some more details of the seat padding and its width along with the leg room on the reviews. All the gadgets in the world don't help if the driver isn't comfortable. I've had some cars that are very comfortable until you've been driving for a few hours and then your legs, back and bottom are raw. There seems to be a trend in hard seat padding and narrow seats to make room for larger consoles. Thank you for reading my comment.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Welcome. Yes, we will try to show more about seats and its paddings. Thank you.

[@wilydimayuga519]

Congratulations on 200k subscribers! Strange that wagons do not get enough love!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you Joe. Yes, the shooting brake is looking great!

[@OlJackBurton]

Congrats on 200k. That is quite the accomplishment. Even more so for a channel dedicated to mostly Korean cars for an English speaking audience. Kirk Kreifels has a channel (US based though) that is dedicated to Asian cars (Japanese, Korean and some Chinese like Volvo/Polestar), so he has enough content for daily videos and he's still a good ways from 200k. Your hard work has paid off. As for the Genesis shooting break, the rear looks surprisingly a lot like the GV60...

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you ol Jack for your support. We really couldn't be here without your support! Thank you.

[@swanblake]

Such a great looking car! I will always be a little sad that this EV craziness happened before Genesis could develop a performance wing. Would have loved to see a performance G70 N. Such a great car that just needs a little more power

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, G70N would be great! Thanks Blake.

[@andrewhite4431]

Hopefully it will be an EV soon.

Hyundai needs to bring the G70 shooting brake to the US. I will certainly change my Stinger for this, however it needs to have 3.3TT. Audi brought the A6 Allroad and RS6 Avant and they are doing well sales wise.

Yes, Rob.

[@nimahassanpour7201]

I like it so much -shooting brake amazing for my family and me

[@hugdeath929]

Is the rear seat legroom larger than it is in the sedan? It looks equivalent to the Stinger in this video but when I went to see the G70 sedan in person the rear seat room reminded me of the GTI. It was untenable for me. How comfortable would you be in the back if you say behind your “comfortable” front seating position. Massage seating would definitely be a welcome option in a touring style vehicle like this.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Nope, except for the trunk space, 1st and 2nd row is pretty much the same. Yes, massaging function would been great! Thanks.

[@hugdeath929]

[@cnfusd]

[@danield.7359]

Nice car, finally a wagon. Active sound design: good, but the engine is so loud even if active sound is turned off that they should also offer sort of negative values, meaning active sound cancellation in my opinion. I could imagine that after some time the engine sound could become tormenting.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you Daniel. But engine doesn't sound that loud, i wish it was a bit louder in Sport_+ mode.

[@eto2352]

Shooting Brake is amazing! Looks way better than the saloon, and makes it so much more appealing because of practicality. Will this be sold in the USA?

[@jeffs6090]

Nope, because "Americans don't like wagons". Which is really crap. Whether dealerships order them for their stock or not, they should at least be available for us to order and purchase.

How is the manual shift response compared to Hyundai's 8 speed DCT and also the 7-speed DCT? The more the wagons/ hatchbacks there are, the better!

Well, this 8 speed automatic still feels a bit smooth compared to DCTs. You know it is tuned for Genesis.

Wagon is better the handling and aesthetics but practicality I’d go for crossover/small suv. That shooting break is nice 👍

[@AsianPetrolhead]

GV70 is overall very nice SUV. But 3.5TT can be a bit thirsty.

[@nlpnt]

I definitely like it better than the sedan. I'd call it a hatchback, not a wagon though because a wagon should really have side windows in the cargo area. I like what they're trying with the taillights but think they'd have pulled it off better if the entire top (or bottom) section was the turn signal and the other the stop/tail.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yeap. so, Genesis is calling it a shooting brake.

[@ronnymb67]

Same problem here in the US. Everyone is convinced they need some sort of sport utility or crossover utility vehicle. As much as I would make the GV70 or GV80 my first ever suv, this shooting brake would be in my driveway if they ever brought it here.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yeap, hope you guys get it soon in USA.

[@kcw9313]

What you're effectively seeing is a base design wagon akin to say a Merc E450. Just imagine if Genesis ever gave it the N treatment with all the aesthetic aero elements to make this already amazing looking s-brake that much more aggressive like an E63 S version. Looks amazing even as a base option. So much better designed than any German make. Well done!
