Can The 2025 Genesis G70 3.3T Keep Up With Your TLX Type-S?

This is the 2025 Genesis G70 3.3T Sport and today I'm going to tell you if i'd rather drive it over a collection of American and Japanese bolts and bits we call the Acura TLX Type-S. Enjoy.

Love both but give me the G70 anyday of the week over the TLX Type S. Cars so beautiful and I love the interior.

[@mikeypv6]

Genesis have just released a Taxi program at the Nurburgring with a few Magma Orange G70... they look stunning

[@i.d.6492]

I'd take G70 3.3T because you get way more for your money. And it has such beautiful proportions and side profile. Tlx type S has a nice aggressive diffuser and tips and front grill, but side profile and grill are too long

[@romeropostali520]

G70 ftw

[@mcximus]

I like the look of the G70.

[@KoreanAmericanLawyer.NewPortBe]

G70 All day !

[@tommynobaka]

Genesis with the refresh is actually quite elegant, yet not overstyled. Futuristic as well. Genesis and Hyundai design language has been nailing it recently especially with the N72 Vision and the Ionic 3. I find JDM to be a bit overstyled at the moment with the exception of Mazda lineup, the Nissan Z and the GR86. TLX Type-S for nostalgia and Honda fanatacism, G70 for the elegance and understated performance

Id buy the G70 in the beautiful blue type s tlx is cool but needs more

[@RoadsUntraveled]

The TLX certainly has it beat in the "cool" category

[@SlipAngleG70]

G70 alllllllll day. In winter, it's a BEAST. Also does donuts like no tomorrow - winter or summer. If you drive a Type-S, you'll always know the G70 will own you ha ha.. Also can be tuned to produce huge power, which the drivetrain can easily handle unlike the Type-S and it's weak transfer case.

[@5hunnidCG]

What’s TONS of power to you..?

[@SlipAngleG70]

@@5hunnidCG Enough to do a 1/4 mile in 10.7 with just a tune, intake and CPI.

[@5hunnidCG]

That’s with a water methanol injection system though not pump gas. 500hp is the most you’re seeing with 3.3tt and bolt ons. I watched ah video of ah tuned BMW M340i walk away from ah tuned Genesis G70.

[@SlipAngleG70]

@@5hunnidCG No, CPI uses E85, which is pump gas. A G70 running 93 octane runs a mid 11 1/4 mile and with E30 low 11s. I've seen several videos of G70s walking an M340i, however no one is going to argue.. the M340i B58 is a better platform but the M340i isn't in the same price league either..for the money, the G70 is excellent. The TLX will never touch it. There's actually a Stinger in Korea that makes 1000whp and the only part of the engine that's been beefed up are the head studs. Also - not sure why you referenced the Interga.. not part of the conversation here...

[@5hunnidCG]

@@SlipAngleG70 Tune for Tune the M340i is beating the G70/stinger, if anything driver error. The world most powerful stinger is 800hp/920tq which is the Korean car you talking bout so that’s cap and the 500hp tune you need 96+ and water methanol injection system, you can google it. The Type S was part of your original post🤷🏾‍♂️

[@BB2001hjk]

Both will be discontinued for slow sales and missing the mark. G70 is better tho

[@Hi-how-are-you-today.]

What do you mean it’s the third best selling model for Genesis? I’d bet if they gave it the same interior as the GV70 (they were both released/refreshed the same year) it would sell 1-3k more per year

[@alexperez9135]

@@Hi-how-are-you-today.I own a 2025 3.3t and I kinda prefer the interior that it already has. But I can definitely see the argument

[@EldenLord00]

Well the entire car market is slow

[@EldenLord00]

Bring back the stinger 😭😭

[@solidsnake5614]

[@layne4376]

When you talk about trunk space, it should be note that the Genesis has a pass through. The TLX doesn't - you hit some stupid cross bracing.

[@altoriahorne5006]

I'm going with the G70 3.3T Sport Prestige Package!

[@kuvyoghmoobamelica6883]

2:02, you should be in 3rd gear with that speeds and not 4th. 3rd gear at 40mph is the sweet spot.

[@mogulme6190]

Love the look of the tlx type s but the aftermarket seems nearly nonexistent

[@flynlr]

I upgraded to the G70 from my 30yo Nissan , if not for horrible dealers I would buy Genesis again. pretty sure the 80s Yugo dealers treated customers better

[@alexperez9135]

The rpm cluster is different in the US. I prefer the one you have 😭 I wish mine had that!

[@muhammedbappa7560]

I will go with the tlx any time any day without thinking twice

[@yaboybert_2077]

G70 is the clear choice

[@RolanTHUNDER]

I'm with you Marcus - TLX Type S all day over this G70. That being said, the front end of that G70 is catchy. There's a distinct Aston Martin with but with split headlights vibe going on... unless it's just the badge that makes me think of Aston Martin

[@Yoomaro]

[@JAYEHILLMUSIC]

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Updated 2025 MDX has a full touchscreen now! I'm sure the TLX will follow.

[@EldenLord00]

I like the g70 more but the headlights are throwing me off

[@BKJP1998]

Pisses me off that the States didn't get that digital dash. No possible reason makes sense to a consumer.

[@deydrm]

Front wheel drive cars suck! The transmissions are weaker because they're smaller. You have to deal with cv axles that need service. Rear wheel drive transmissions in general,go many miles more than front wheel drive. And when do u joints fail? And who wants to do a burnout with a front wheel drive car? C'mon!! Now, about the styling. Honda and Acuras,in my opinion, don't look good at all. And they haven't for a long time. All those carved out panels don't seem to flow well.Why do you think nobody wants the Acura NSX? The technology is good,but it's got that Japanese styling. Like the Supra, it just doesn't cut it.Look at the Infiniti Essence concept car from over ten years ago. It looks like an Aston Martin,not a Japanese styled car. Why oh why didn't they make this? It's no wonder Nissan went broke and Renault took over. But ugly non flowing styling isn't limited to Acura. Some Toyotas, Hyundai's and Kia's are like this. Infiniti and Lexus have better looking body lines. But the recent Genesis models lead the way in styling. And the latest BMW's,especially the front end of the M4,s? God is that ugly. The BMW X5 and X6? Apply that ugly to an SUV and voila! But the Genesis GV70 and GV80's are both winners. These are all rear wheel drive platforms. Which are more fun to drive, because front wheel drive SUCKS!

[@pablobaez2625]

id prefer a stinger over both tbh

[@francysantos1916]

Call me whatever. I’m taking TLX Type S all day! The genesis is better because it weighs less. It does has its touches but the TLX looks waaaaay better !

[@Jdm_fl5]

You choose a Rubber timing belt over a maintenance free chain driven belt….

[@kuvyoghmoobamelica6883]

​@Jdm_fl5 Yeah I hate them timing belt. Almost every car manufacturers are going timing chain now

[@Yoomaro]

No it’s better because it’s actually faster, lighter, cheaper & it’s a REAL RWD sports sedan

[@LONGWALDO]

Yes

[@RonnieMorgan-fw8qj]

TLX looks soooo much better!!! All around a better car. TLX all day.

[@jimdangle8261]

Good luck finding a TLX Type S 😔

[@ka124as]

lol. Let’s be real. End of the day you bought a Hyundai.

[@MatVyy]

Resale value is going to nuke the G70. The car isn't super popular and hyundai/genesis just have lower resale value. I'd buy a 2020 G70 over a 2020 TLX because you can get a better deal. But for 2024 cars, TLX Type S is better.

[@i.d.6492]

I don't care about resale value. I care about best value for money. And Genesis takes it all day. There are more features you get in G70 that tlx type S doesn't even offer. G70 3.3T is like the Germans, an organic sport sedan in a flesh

[@gordonschiff3621]

The TLX looks better, handles better and is more reliable. Great car.

[@i.d.6492]

No it doesn't. The G70 3.3t is way faster. Sam and throttle house did comparison. It looks aggressive but it has nothing to back it up with. G70 3.3t on the other hand looks luxurious and yet smokes tlx type S. Even Elantra N had a faster lap time.

Genesis are trash . Buy one and learn the Hard Way !

[@bigden2755]

[@fhblake04]

Genesis looks like a Chinese car trying to copy a German car. No matter, a facelift will just make it look completely different in 2-3 years. No continuity with Korean styling. Shame, if you squint there’s a nice car in there.

[@rashodm7129]

nothing wrong with their styling mate, stop hating.

[@tommynobaka]

Their styling with the refresh is actually really nice. I find the headlights and taillights to be elegant, distinctly asian, but not overstyled as say something JDM. I love JDM, but Genesis and Hyundai are nailing retro futuristic design, especially with the N72 Vision and some of the sedans. Can't complain with the luxurious features. Reliability and durability is in question tho
