2022 Genesis GV70 | Luxury SUV Family Review

[@johnnybaum7957]

This SUV is a homerun by Genesis. Absolutely beautiful car.

[@carynmcentee6725]

I have this! I got the standard 2.5T 4-cylinder engine w/the Sport Prestige package and I adore this SUV. It's alot of fun to drive and the standard engine is more than enough power

[@wildhorses4x4]

Very interesting

[@5ive713]

how much was the sale price for you? I'm in the market for this car

[@tonyemini9642]

To me the GV70 is the best looking car on the road.

[@rohitchowdary27]

Agreed 👍

[@danielmelendez9943]

Looks food but can it prove to be a reliable car?

[@jot5445]

Nope

[@mjhowson2389]

I love the style. I think this is Genesis’s best looking vehicle. Too bad the upcoming GV60 isn’t this good looking. I hear Genesis plans to make an electric version of the GV70. But, my guess is the range will not be great given the platform was not designed to be an EV like the GV60. I think this GV70 will be their best selling model.

[@TVBCStudios]

I agree 100%. I'll be purchasing my GV70 next month for my birthday!

[@aono335]

gv60 looks great

[@TVBCStudios]

@MJ Howson Genesis just revealed the Electrified GV70 yesterday. Im having to rethink my next purchase already!

[@geraldbrienza4474]

I get my gv70 in January. I will lease for4 years then get the EV version which should be great by then,

[@Priszma]

@@TVBCStudios i am super curious if you have it now ? Happy late bday btw!. I recently started working with Genesis, blessed to be doing it super young. I plan to order my GV70 at the end of the year 🥺 its soooo nice especially at night

[@TVBCStudios]

This Genesis GV70 along with the Audi RSQ8 are the best looking SUVs on the market.

[@MAAtx]

The iguana doesn’t get enough attention. Glad to see it return.

[@luv2bottom]

The BEST looking small luxury suv on the market, tons of high tech & a very reasonable price.

[@DJL78]

I thought so as well until I saw one in person. The plastic bits are exactly as described in the video. Kind of half baked and cheap-ish looking. The interior however is exceptionally designed. Have you seen the GV70 in person?

[@DJL78]

Having seen it in person I would disagree. It is the most photogenic SUV on the market but in the flesh not so much. The Mercedes GLC is far prettier in person.

[@Jason.W.]

When your daughter watches this years later and understands the 🦎 😂

[@gabevillarreal96]

Love the styling inside and out. It stands out in a sea of compact luxury suvs. Excited about the NEW G90!

[@IsolestiK]

currently debating whether to get this or GV80. I like design of GV70 better both interior and exterior wise but GV80 has more room hmm…. dilemma.

[@ZeonSequiera]

Love your reviews as always, Micah. I think the GV70 is perhaps one of the most good looking small suvs out there. Love the dual strip headlights. Not sure about maintenance and dependability though. Thoughts on that vs a Lexus ex 350 ? Can we get a comparison ? What’s your take on that ?

[@42dunbar]

The base 18” wheels ride considerably better. I’ve driven both the base 4-cyl (18’s) and 6-cyl (21’s). I’d probably go for the middle option of 19” wheels.

[@Xemnas103]

Love the way this look, would definitely be on my short list if I was shopping in this segment.

[@tooltalk]

The GV70 is going electric next year and will be made in the US!

[@banderson1979]

Source?

[@johnholst]

They will have an all electric option, but the gas and diesel models will still be on sale. The eGV70 debuted at a show in China just last week. Seems pretty awesome!

[@CorvusHyperion]

Great review! I’m in the market for a G70 here in Australia but they are RWD only. The AWD GV70 is only a small price premium over the G70 but it has the bigger, newer V6, much superior interior and more room. They need to put the GV70 interior into the G70 or drop the price of the sedan! Sedans are hard enough to sell as it is and the G70 will struggle against the new C class Mercedes’ next level interior.

[@Mandelbomb]

After years, are getting so close to this windowless white van review becoming reality. The question is, will it be a run of the mill van, or something more?

[@darryl2154]

I'd suggested Micah make it an epic van showdown. Let's say, Transit vs. Sprinter?

[@93455Driver]

A BEV van.

[@dvdtv1234]

Did you go to buffalo?

[@Popcornbeetle]

Arachnidude! Love your back and forth with Evie!

[@citibear57]

Nice enough looking exterior, although the styling is overwrought. The fine details are bit too much, such as the plastic cross-hatch in the lower rear valance, and the fussy detailing on the wheels. The interior is beautiful, especially in the red and black combo. The two knobs on the console seems like a bad idea. Who thought that people would be able to tell the difference while concentrating on the road? Overall, I would buy the GV70 over the G70. Come and get your high-five, Micah 😄🤚

[@banderson1979]

I like it a lot. Wish it was the same car in the size of the GV80. It’s just too small.

[@benjaminkohl342]

I have some refutations to the GV70 vs the Germans. First of all, based on what I've read, the speed of the V6 os much closer to the German i-4s (GLC300, Q5 45, X3 30) then the AMG/M40/S. Also, to get some nice but by no means crazy features, you have to get the top trim. Specifically: digital guages, HUD, heated back seats. If I wanted those features specifically, a GLC300, X3, or Q5 AWD would cost 10k less. Even with the standard AWD, the base 2,5 seems to be about $3,000-4,000 less then the Germans, but the mid trim is more per feature then the Germans, and the Advanced trim (49k) is equivilent in features to a 51k Audi or BMW, maybe a 52k GLC. So the difference is pretty small. And while the V6 majorly undercuts the AMG43 and X3 M40i, I actually think performance wise it's closer to the base models then the 2.5T. Also the German cars have noticably better fuel economy. The GV70 is great in a lot of ways, especially design. And $2,000 is $2,000, but i'm not sure the GV70 is actually all that great a value play unless you specifically want adaptive cruise control, and i know lots of older folk in this cars target demographic that specifically DONT want all the safety gizmos. Other then the adaptive cruse, the GLC comes with all the same standard features that the GV70 does, the X3 is only missing comfort access for $500, and the Q5 is only missing driver seat memory and blind spot(?), which is in a convenience package for $1,000. Also, Micah, you mentioned the Q5 when talking about competiton that doesn't come standard with AWD, when the Q5 is literally the ONLY competitor that has it standard too haha

[@no9254me]

So the design is mainly the differentiator ? Color me Surprised? Also the Genesis brand residual value is terrible so why bother with it over the German🙄

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Hyundai is definitely doing something Correct. The way they let you choose between the sedan and SUV, Not just in similar nomenclature but also stylistically, is that of the Audi S4 and SQ5.. Not that it's a bad thing, but it definitely is a step in the right direction. Thanks Micah and family for sharing your thoughts, on what a wonderful SUV this is, even if the price and residual may not be as great as the already established few, within the category/segment.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video as always guys!😸

[@daymon6868]

Yaaaassss!! That car is hot! Dude , where are the E.V.’s

[@jamesgibson4096]

Gorgeous car. So suave. The rear seat sensor is radar based not ultrasonic.

[@andresmattos7541]

Genesis will never rip you off like Germans do.

[@gabevillarreal96]

Cutest moment ever when Sweety actually corrects herself and says "sorry... ARACHNA-DUDE!"🤣🤣🤣

[@jissanhuq3792]

Sucks that the current market ruined all the “bargain” buys. No discounts and getting sticker is a “good” deal. I truly wonder if it’s hurting the growth of Genesis.

[@genzigzag]

Nice looking vehicle... they should sell well.

[@oliverstemp9132]

Sat Navs that keep directing after you’ve arrived are so annoying. I’ve been in a Genesis and I found the dials blurry too. I’d rather traditional dials or a normal screen instead

[@edgarweekley6526]

Very stylish and luxurious looking....

[@kentgabriel3572]

I found the same quirk in my 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate...trying to cancel a destination in the Nav was not quick or obvious ....Maybe something Hyundai/Genesis/Kia needs to address with an update ?

[@jissanhuq3792]

I find the same in BMW. I think it’s pretty common

[@benderaviation]

A thick B and a thick C, and Micah's love of edging 👀

[@AnalogueKid2112]

Don’t really care for the car, but I love Muzio family reviews

[@utsavratti]

If the GV70 has been on the market when I bought my 2021 GV80, I’d have given it a serious look. The 2.5T Sport Prestige would likely have been enough for my needs and saved me $20K over the GV80 3.5T Prestige. I do wonder about the day to day aspects of the reduced rear passenger space and cargo space. Also, does the middle section of the rear seats fold down to allow for skis to be passed through?

[@ronbert5194]

Great video. Though towards the end I was wondering if Evie would drive? Then I realize it's not in the title. I'm thinking the plastic patterns will be altered or remove.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Oh and also, Micah Muzio, Not that it has to be said, or that anyone mentions but; I LOVE the look "Sweetie/My-lady" has.. To me, she looks like she would fit in a 60s/70s. Film Noir(Yes, I know those are two eras) If you will.

[@Priszma]

2:44 its a Cross over :3 thats what kind it is since it is based on the sedan model, but it is an Suv, itll be consider a compact SUV, or a cross over.. i guess it is also in the wagon category but am not sure 🤔.

[@Jason.W.]

Maybe the spider webs made this car more fuel efficient XD

[@hugdeath929]

Great review Micah👌. I have a question. I’ve been looking at a few vehicles. How much difference do you think there is dynamically between the 3.5 Sport Prestige and the X3 M40i? Equally equipped the price difference seems to be about $6K. The interior of the BMW doesn’t feel nearly as special as the Genesis. I’m wondering if it’s really worth the added premium. I have zero brand affinity and care nothing about labels.

[@Thomas-Tsai-NYC]

Gv70 you save a lot of money. Go for the 2025.. even more techs. I have a 2022 . I love it.. service department........ not so good. You have to share with KN and H brothers..... not as premium as you might tthink. Otherwise, it's a bargain for looks and value.

[@fotomrzacy]

I love all your reviews but you guys make me nervous HOW MUCH you both don't safely stay in the lanes while driving 😳😬😬

[@billharris7235]

They drive in the gutter so the lead car gets better views, as opposed to head on. Evie driving so slow is more of a safety issue. Sorry Evie!😘

[@yadthink]

This *was* a raucous good time! I much prefer the exterior of the G70. The GV70's rear is bland and the sides have that clumsy window that reminds me of the Porsche 928's, but less successful here. Still, Genesis has come a long way in a short time.

[@MEAMERIE]

You missed the finger print reader lol! Good review though. Genesis is killing the exterior/ interior looks on their SUVs. I think I prefer the looks of the GV80 though and it comes in a dark green color.

[@93455Driver]

Cannot believe this channel has noted made 100k, just say you will review quirks and features and get that white van review ready to post. Wish the 3.5t and 2.5t were offered in the G70, great engines. I think these engines have both port and direct injection? This may help with the MPG? Really though these are the new more efficient Genesis engines in the GV70, the new 2022 G70 did not get the new engines.

[@elcabopr]

How do you get the seat so far back yet can still drive with your elbow on the center console? I have to scoot really far up to do this in every car I’ve driven (my seat back is inclined about 110° due to bad lower discs).

[@abercrombie4lyfe]

Look at that thirst trap cover photo

[@dioralcide8490]

GV70 is extremely inside and out but I don’t like the back STYLE it looks like a wannabe coupé . I like AUDI SQ5 SPORTBACK better. In my humble opinion Genesis should redesign the back of the GV70 either make a wagon or a couple NOT BOTH.

[@jackcollin1695]

Ikr.it dont match the front looks.it should be a little oblong than a slide down shape.

[@jamesonpace726]

Oh, pleeeze, copter boy, do enlighten us on "airplane wing shape"....

[@jp93309]

Reminds me of the Porsche Macan but tries too hard with those extra design bits. Edit the cross-hatch and slim down the pillars and it would be a bargain sport SUV.

Rdx vs gv70

[@johnholst]

RDX is a fantastic vehicle that offers good features, dynamics and price. But it is based on the CR-V. The GV70 however is RWD architecture and competes more with the Germans in luxury and dynamics. Both great imo.

Great review, but I've got a question that NOBODY wants to answer. Maybe you will. Let's say you're zipping down the road at 70 mph and you grab the wrong knob (haha) and twist it into 'R' or 'P'. Will that cost you thousands in repair bills? One would think the engineers would recognize that and be prepared for it. What do you think?

[@MicahMuzio]

Good question. That knob is an electronic control. The vehicle is smart enough not to put the transmission into reverse when traveling forward.

[@RichardShelton]

I assumed that, but y'all know what happens when we assume. Be safe.@@MicahMuzio

[@strykerballcrush4650]

I've owned my GV70 for few months and although I understand the initial confusion, you get used to the knobs after a few times. And the vehicle will not allow you to make that error.

[@htenthusiast2897]
