Best part of this car has to be how the AWD system becomes 20/80 torque split in the sport modes and has a rear LSD in the sport trim. Best of both worlds!

Coolest thing about Genesis being a new brand is they are actually 'refreshing' their car every 2 years. First a body lift, now and interior face lift hitting key areas that reviewers comment on like the steering wheel, climate controls, infotainment, etc. Unlike other brands that change basically nothing over an 8yr lifecycle. So cool to see Genesis and Hyundai's N division actually make some great cars at an affordable price point

[@denisesnow1873]

I love mine! I have the Sport Prestige AWD. Black on Black with red Diamond stitch and red seatbelts. I came from a BMW 650 TT V8. The Genesis is fast, sporty and luxurious all in one AND reliable! For those that won’t buy because it’s made by Hyundai, keep in mind VW makes Porsche, Audi, Bugatti and Lamborghini. Just as many other cars are made by surprising sources.

[@christianbryant5617]

VW, Porsche, Audi, Bugatti, and Lamborghini are all respectable heritage brands that have worked for their prestigious titles. It’s the VAG also, not VW, but hypothetically VW as a brand itself is leagues ahead of any newbie Korean brand. It takes generations to earn respect. That’s why celebrities drive these brands and not many know about “Genesis.”

Great video! I just sold my 2019 Volvo S60 T5 Momentum and leased one of these 2024 Genesis 3.3T Sport Prestige RWD in a Gray Exterior/Red Nappa Leather Interior combo from a standalone Genesis showroom in my city. I drove every other German car in this segment and each had their own pros and cons. The M340i was definitely the best car of the bunch, but would’ve been stupidly expensive ($300/month more) equivalently optioned. You can tell this is a chasis and engine that BMW has perfected over time, but the price reflects that. At least maintenance was included with the lease, which is something I can’t say for the other German competitors below. The C43 although fast, is a four banger that depends A LOT on pumped in engine sound. It also downshifted very harshly, even in comfort mode and automatic. It always wants to go and kicks you, and has fuel economy numbers that are just as bad as the Genesis ones are. While the interior looked the nicest of the bunch, the fit and finish was very creaky in some parts. Maintenance was not included and costs $2,600 for a pre-paid maintenance plan in addition to the MSRP. The other car I considered more closely was the S5 Sportback, but the lease was an extra $100/month on LeaseHackr for a Premium Plus trim (so missing navigation, HUD) and did NOT include AudiCare maintenance which was an additional $1,699 addition to the MSRP (so it came out to a total of $125/month more or so extra if rolled into the lease). The Audi had massage seats, a lift back, sounded better, and had better lighting in the cabin even though this trim was missing the ambient lighting, but lacked some of those other features the Genesis had that I mentioned above unless one opted for the more expensive Prestige trim. All these cars did something better but I don’t know if I could justify the payment difference of $560/month for the Genesis vs. $700/mo for the S5 with Audi Care, $730/mo for a relatively base C43 without pre-paid maintenance (that’s an extra $2.6K on top of MSRP- ouch) or about $800/mo for an M340i without leather seats and potentially without the M Adaptive Suspension. Yes, I wish the G70 had some ambient lighting and the full digital gauge cluster of the GV70, but I can live without those things for the next 3 years for the price difference while enjoying some cool features like the blind spot cameras, cooled seats (wasn’t available on BMW or Audi, and was an a la carte option on the Mercedes) the awesome torque, and the overall smaller size for parking in the urban area I live in. It reminds me of the Lexus IS vehicles my mom used to lease, but much nicer materials-wise. This G70 is the best all around value in the segment that does not give up much versus the competition. I’m very lucky to live near a dedicated Genesis showroom, so I think my service experience will be a positive one overall.

[@johnparks6936]

Those are the exact cars I’m considering right now so thank you for the detailed comment!! Can I ask what dealership quoted you on $560/month? Best price I’ve gotten so far is $700/month with zero down for the fully loaded 3.3T…

Good luck getting parts!!!Genesis was always my dream car EXCEPT after having a windshield replaced, the "Pillar Post" seals had disintegrated from heat (what the Genesis dealer said) and now even under warranty I've been waiting 2 months for parts and when I call the dealer to check status, told they can't get the parts from Korea. Due to this issue, the car interior at highway speed is now so loud from wind shear that you have to play the radio almost completely up to listen to a audio book. Parts shouldn't take months on a car still under warranty. Thanks Genesis for not having the capability to replace trim that causes comfort levels in your upscale cars.

[@bigden2755]

WOW .....

[@MikeYurbasovich]

Yeah I liked this car, but some of the details were unsettling and it was more than the TLX type-s for me by about 5k. I didn't like cheap tires right off the bat, the digital dash, the touchscreen, the lighter feel of the doors, it's not as rigid of a car, and it doesn't corner like the type s. It does have a snappier motor, and I like the quilted seats more than the Alcantara inserts in my car. The test drive and experience with the dealer were red flags for me, and I always check with parts to see how much certain things cost and if they're stocked like brake rotors. The Acura was cheap and in stock, but the Genny was more and they had to order. For me, that means I'm driving a shitbox loaner elantra for who knows how long, and that's no Bueno. I'm happy I bought what I did.

That top panel is at least soft touch though in the G70. You’re making it sound like it’s hard matte plastic which it isn’t. In a BMW 3 serious or A class Mercedes there’s a comparable amount of cheaper materials in some areas. So I feel it’s not much to bark at Genesis for in the price point. I have a 115k C8 as well(3LT with Z51 and all options). That whole entire interior is nappa leather interior and suede. I still get into a G70 or Stinger GT and feel they are very nice for the price.

I know the G70 has less backseat space than the Stinger, but that's not excuse for leaving out that feature especially when it's available in the German competitors. I do wish the AWD Stinger had the LSD more readily available in the US. AWD Stingers only got the LSD on special/limited edition models. Canada had the LSD as a standard option on their AWD cars. 😕

The size of the G70 is nice - except for the rear. As a Lexus IS owner, the rear seat room was not a priority for me, but at the same time, I felt the rear of the G70 was even smaller than in the Lexus. It is funny how those two models share a lot of attributes but are actually quite different to drive.

[@ensars99]

What were the biggest driving experience differences between the two?

[@jayallen7368]

If this car was reliable or this brand Hyundai i think of buying one

[@SlipAngleG70]

Better get down there then. I've had two of them and they are awesome

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

BMW is dead for me until they bring physical buttons back. The worse thing about Genesis though is that their 3.3T gets the same gas mileage as BMWs twin turbo V8. It's pretty abysmal.

[@enderlord4726]

they’re not terribly well optimized, but if you don’t care as much about speed the 2.0 or 2.5 options are also pretty quick. I ended up with a G70 2.0T after test driving a lexus is300 with a V6, found that the 2.0L turbo was significantly more responsive at lower RPM, which I was very surprised by as I’ve only owned NA v6s in the past

[@philhenderson3516]

They're gas guzzlers in the city and when pedaled to the metal, but pretty efficient in the highway. It's not uncommon to see the 3.3T get up to 32mpg on the highway. Car & Driver got exactly that on their last highway test.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

@@philhenderson3516 - I don't put a lot of weight on anecdotal evidence - anyone can say they get anything. That's why there are testing standards and ratings set by the government. The EPA rates the AWD G70 V6 at 17 city, 25 highway, and 20 combined. The 2023 M550i AWD twin turbo V8, which is a much larger car, and has WAY more hp rated at 17 city, 25 highway, and 20 combined, as well.

[@philhenderson3516]

@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow I completely understand get your point and am not disputing the official EPA ratings. I'm just saying from first hand experience that it is possible and reviewers have seen similar results. In the same manner, it is very possible that the M550I gets better mpg on the highway than the advertised 25mpg. But yes, I agree that it's as lot more impressive to see a turbo V8 get those numbers than a turbo V6.

2:31 my Camry has a pneumatic cylinder for the trunk and it opens much quicker than that

[@bigden2755]

LOL ... good for you, uncle Billy ....

[@kevinryan2992]

I really like the idea of these, but they are dangerously close to m340i / s4 territory at this price. With as poor of an experience as hyundai/genesis/kia dealers are its hard to justify

[@enderlord4726]

heard nightmare stories about hyundai/kia dealerships but my buying experience with genesis was amazing. salesman was super knowledgeable and there was no pressure to buy right away. they charged a $750 flat dealership fee and all of the packages were optional, which usually isnt the case as that’s where dealerships make their money. also my genesis dealership has a nice lounge with coffee/hot chocolate and an mini arcade with a couple of full size arcade machines. certainly not the case for everyone, but I love my dealership.

[@mharro88]

The interior is way nicer than them and it's more reliable than a BMW or Audi lol. Certainly cheaper to repair as well with better warranty.

[@good104]

Beautiful car. However, the rear leg room is way too small. It's almost useless for anyone over 5 feet tall.

[@bigden2755]

Don't care... I don't use them ....

This is clearly not a family car.

On a premium car having hard plastic door panels is such a downer. Sometimes people people keep their elbows there while driving and that's not nice to have at all.

Lousy gas mileage on this v6.

[@kitrocks8058]

It’s a Hyundai product, does it really surprise you that there is quality issues.

[@bigden2755]

Hummmm. so Audi has the same problem then... it's a VW

[@seb5945]

Hyundai started a whole new brand out of a Genesis Coupe and then they killed the car.

[@philhenderson3516]

The Genesis Sedan came out first in 2007. Unlike the Sedan, the Genesis coupe wasn't meant as a luxury product, it was more of a Tuscany/Tiburon replacement but much larger in size and with superior RWD dynamics, with its sights set to battle the Infiniti G37 for half the cost. Since the Genesis name had already garnered so much traction with the Sedan, it only made sense for them to call it the Genesis coupe.

[@JikaInFamous]

...thats a fucking lexus rx interior

[@dextersmithbsee]

I don't like the sound of the engine.

[@safye4]

The interior is by far the worst part about this car. Doesn't compete well with BMW, Mercedes, or Audi well.

[@SlipAngleG70]

It's fantastic

[@Scott-mu4xw]

Just a glorified Kia.

I´ve realized that there is no motorcycles on the highway, maybe due to high speed.
