“The beauty of white space” is Korean traditional metaphor meaning empty or plain space is beautiful. It is better to call “beauty of empty space” The reason why white is old Korean painters did’t filled colours in background of their paintings . Rather, just left it white making it simple, humble and comfy. Think about iPhone white.

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

Bought a GV70 3.5T in early November 2021. It's an excellent vehicle - very happy with it. My first foray in to luxury SUVs, and so far I'm not disappointed. A couple things to note: If considering the smaller 2.5T four cylinder engine, don't worry about any meaningful difference in performance from the 3.5T. I test drove both, and I really couldn't tell the difference in driving power. The smaller 2.5T makes more noise, but is no less athletic. And, it costs much less, and gets better gas mileage. The reason I went with the larger, more expensive 3.5T is because I wanted the option package with the electronically controlled suspension, as well as the option package that included the matte green finish (which looks awesome). I value quiet and smooth, so wanted the less noisy engine and the smoother suspension. All in all, really pleased. I don't like the German vehicles, purely because of the nasty repair costs. One thing to beware of: you're buying this luxury Genesis in a most-decidedly un-luxury Hyundai dealership. If you demand a white-glove dealership experience like Lexus, Mercedes, Cadillac, etc., you will NOT get that at the Hyundai dealership.

[@Winnablue]

Hey! I’m 8 months late so idk if your gonna read this. I wanted to ask, how is the car so far? Any problems? I’m planning on getting the 3.5 engine as well

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

@@Winnablue still loving it, and I would highly recommend the GV70. There isn’t anything I’d change about it. I love how quiet and smooth it is. And the technology isn’t too hard to master (I’m 59, and pretty old school when it comes to my vehicle’s knobs and buttons - I like them to be simple.). Gas mileage is just what was advertised. Plenty of power for me. I get a ton of compliments on it, especially the matte green color. As I mentioned in my original review, you’re buying this from a Hyundai dealership. If your used to white-glove treatment from luxury brand dealerships (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, et al), brace yourself - you won’t be getting that from a Hyundai dealership. In fairness, some are better than others - we winter in Scottsdale Arizona, where the Hyundai dealership is quite professional. Northern Chicago suburbs is a different story. All things considered, very pleased with the GV70.

I like this GV70 a lot. Quite frankly, I think it has more than enough horsepower for me. Personally, I think there's too much emphasis on horsepower and how quick or fast a lot of these vehicles are nowadays. The average purchaser of a sport ute, luxury sedan or truck will NEVER push their vehicles to their full potential. Hell, it takes the average driver close to freakin' 30 seconds or more just to get to 45 MPH from a stop at a traffic light.

[@collyerb]

First of all....love your channel. Second, thanks for doing the review. I'm six months into my decked out GV70. I drove five hours to get exactly what I wanted in Silver/Aquamarine blue. I traded up from a '19 G70 3.3T dynamic (too tall for it). Genesis definitely hit a home run with the GV70. I agree with the turbo lag and it could have just a bit better gas mileage. But a phenomenal SUV that looks better than a Macan for much less money. The biggest challenge for Genesis is brand recognition. Last year, they sold 1/20th of what Tesla did because Tesla has a cult following. Nobody knows Genesis after six years as a separate brand. Those that have heard of it still think it's that big sedan made by Hyundai. Their best publicity, unfortunately, is Tiger Woods rolling down a cliff in one.

[@nicholascomaromi3881]

Precisely my current circumstance! I have a Siberian Ice colored '19 G70 3.3T. I need easier access and more room for the golf gear/pushcart. GV70 is spot on, and the interior/hushed drive will do the trick! How's the vehicle thus far? Any regrets?

Absolutely love the GV70 2.5 GV70 300HP sadly we won't get the 3.5 engine yet (saying it as a german) The price is awesome for what you get A BMW X3 (xDrive 30d 286HP dont mention the m40i 360HP still need 15k-20k for the same setup) with the same setup and engine is like 80k+ € in germany while this masterpiece will be at 54k € full stacked for 2.5 version Can't wait for the release next month to order one

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

Imo this is one of the most gorgeous suvs to have come out, the rear end, front and even side is all spot on. Love these so much

[@marcusvision]

When I seen this at the Hyundai dealership in that beautiful red. I completely forgot about range rover 😅. Definitely think this will pull me into the SUV trend train.

[@TheMugwump1]

I'm not an SUV guy, but I just saw one of these today in person and the only thing I can think to say is those wheels are REALLY distracting. The car has such great lines. It's nice to look at. I can only think it would look even better by eliminating that geometric pattern on the wheels and the rear diffuser area.

[@twalleyy894]

The intro skits are top tier. You guys never fail

[@tannerabell387]

Throttle House = New Top Gear. Just imagine if these guys had their own TV show😍😍

[@OffroadTV2023]

*So excited for this review. This is the car I’m considering. Thank you!*

[@Robski777]

This car is a perfect blend of luxury and performance...My order is placed and now the 6month wait for the 3.5T V6. As for 0-100km/h...other KZbin reviews have recorded 4.98sec, and low 5's.

[@Bby_2JZ]

I work at Genesis of Southwest Houston here in Houston, TX. and the GV70 is such an amazing SUV/CUV! They are hard to keep on the lot! Especially with this chip shortage

[@ericwheatley8897]

We are trying to get one at sticker in Houston but everyone wants to mark it up 5-10k. Crazy.

[@Bby_2JZ]

@@ericwheatley8897 yeah we don’t do that. It’s called the “Market Adjustment” we only charge $1495 for the product we actually apply to our vehicles. Not a dime more

[@001697556]

The way he says “and I’m James!!” like an excited 8-year-old makes me smile every time.

[@DavidFluskLITFL]

After owning 9 Mercedes models I have made the switch to Genesis. A GV80 Prestige for her, and a GV70 3.5T Sport for me. We couldn't be happier. In fact we got out of a GLS for the GV80 and it is just that much more comfortable for way less money. When you drive the Genesis, it just feels different. They don't have the punch of an AMG but they feel refined like the Mercedes should be but are not because they have compromised comfort for sport. I am honestly hard pressed to find something I don't like about either one of these vehicles.

[@TheModManu]

This thing looks absolutely incredible. I didn’t quite fancy the other new Genesis models so far but this is spot on.

[@kaceecruson9532]

It's alot smaller than it looks in pictures.... THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!

[@ted6462]

Now you can carry a keychain of individual fingers to start the car. Sweet!

[@ilopancharov]

After watching your review after watching the Straightpipes review I realize how much more entertaining you guys are...Bigup

[@salmonars]

Crazy part was...I use to prefer the SP. Then they converted me.

[@ilopancharov]

@@salmonars yup, every straightpipes video is exaclty the same. They read off the brochure and do box/visor tests...done. No race track testing, nothing. Add some spice or personality maybe. Thank god we have these 2 guys on TH haha

[@sunnythind8574]

@@ilopancharov Agreed. The SP content is very stale now. While Throttle house is always entertaining with each upload.

[@levigato125]

The SP is so boring and predictable these days.

[@toiletthinker8693]

I don't watch this for the cars :)

[@chiluco2000]

I agree with the conclusion. For most people this is a great comfortable car. That V6 engine is the working horse for many Hyundai/Genesis/KIA models!

[@phillipthomas118]

Love the interior & she has a nice rear end.

[@Kmancanada]

That interior is a home-run. And considering that many people's "I'm getting it" switch gets flipped when they sit in a car in the showroom, this sell like hotcakes.

[@nickomode7901]

I'd buy a GV70 purely because they use less piano black plastic inside

[@drsnowmon]

Piano black and silver chrome interior should never be used in any cars Not only it looks disgusting but it also blinds you when the sunlight reflects on it

[@stephenbates3848]

That's one of the reasons I cancelled my new Tuscon order for the GV70

[@Grudlin74]

Boys, one of the major selling points with the Genesis brand is the included servicing and conceirge service that was lost on most at the start of the review. Great review 👍🏼 does the engine do cylinder deactivation?

[@TomNYXL]

"White space" tends to refer to where there isn't anything... Such as the arrow in the FedEx logo

[@mr_c.i.c]

Reviews here look and feel natural and not scripted. Ever since I moved on from #StraightPipes to #ThrottleHouse, I've never looked back.

[@curtr.5083]

This thing is good looking but I gained a ton of new respect for my X3 M40i last winter. It was totally happy plowing through a foot of unplowed snow with randomly compacted spots. Put it in traction and sport and it was happy tossing the weight around to keep momentum. It was on all-seasons as well. I wonder how this guy would compare on the limits of traction.

[@philippedupuis9219]

i just order a GV70 3.5T Sport AWD 2022 today after watching this video .. to replace my sentra 2014 .. the ehxhaust sound is bad but the full black one with all red interior its perfect

[@Yo3j2442]

The shift by wire for 8 speed transmissions always makes for a timid launch. You have to exclusively use the paddles to shift on higher revs And then the 0-60 times get smaller.

[@nicholasnicholas918]

Intro deserves a like all on its own

[@martyosborne3399]

Do you ever drive the cars at night to see how good the lights are?

[@APinchofDill]

I have a GV80 the lights are great. Plus the Highbeams are phenomenal. There is a slight v-shaped "hazy" dark spot where the left and right lights meet on the non highbeams. I think that could be a quick headlight adjustment though.

[@APinchofDill]

@@Brian-jv8iy Don't get me wrong im sure there are better lights out there. All in all they work great comparing to entry/mid level luxury. Better than other vehicles I have had such as a toyota, honda and audi.

[@rbassdo]

That was a particularly cheeky, “And I’m James!”

[@charletfoster8917]

I want one Now. Just elegant n classy. A great review🙏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿

[@nealanthony4802]

I BOUGHT A GV70 AND THIS REVIEW VIDEO HELPED ME I TEST DROVE LEXUS NX350, BMW X3, AUDI Q5, GENESIS GAVE MOST VALUE FOR THE BEST PRICE I GOT IT FOR MSRP AT SOUTH BAY GENESIS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR 51K 2.5 ADVANCED PACKAGE

[@ajtam05]

Finally! Was waiting on GV70 review! Good objective review! I like.

[@jansenwilder1335]

Is it fair to compare the GV70 against the Porsche 2022 Macan ? Which is better value for the $$$ buyers pay for ?

[@jittertime2807]

The most controversial part of the GV70 is going to be the rear exhaust and all that fake mesh vent in between. Hyundai/Genesis imbued so much elegance inside and out, but just missed the ball there. Love the rest of the vehicle though. I'm sure they'll sell a boatload of 'em.

[@ghq8982]

All of them pieces of junk

[@kenim]

Should have just made it oval like the rest of the design, and a tad smaller also. Looks like one of those ricer Honda guys exhaust.

[@ajtam05]
