Is the 2024 Genesis G70 2.5T Prestige the BEST new luxury sport sedan to BUY?

[@sethi100]

Just bought a 24 2.5T sport prestige, black interior with red stitching. Highly recommend. Looked at the Lexus IS350. But overall G70 a better package. I am glad that these 2 manufacturers still building sport sedans for less then German costs.

[@TheDeathvice187]

Does your has the blind sport camera?

[@sethi100]

Not exactly sure what that is. If what ur asking that when using turn signal is there a video of whats in your blind spot shows up in the instrument panel in front of you? Thats the 3.0 engine model.

[@JustMe-um7sr]

I'm picking up the exact same model and color tomorrow. Can't wait.

[@lakeseminole]

I purchased the 2023 g70 SPORT PRESTIGE 2,0, I realize you are discussing the 2.5 However, I'm floored over the power of my 2.0!!! It is agile, fast, responsive and if I had any more power, I would definitely be pulled over. This car has an overwhelmingly amount of new technology which you don't discuss. Beginning with voice commands to open/close windows, change a/c fans, temperature, start or stop heated or a/c vent seats and more. You can even select to stop the transmission engagement when coasting to increase fuel mileage. There are at least four modes of driving to include comfort, eco, sport, sport plus and custom. You can record "memos" while driving to use later, it has an advanced gps navigation system and so much more.

Great review Joe! Looks good! I have a couple quick questions if you get this. I just took a once in a lifetime position that will take me across the US traveling literally 5 days a week. I'll be inspecting residential homes but strictly on military bases. Its a perfect fit for my 24 year professional background. Majority of the time, I will be flying out on Mondays and flying back in on Fridays. However my question is, since I can opt to travel across the US by vehicle, which I will at times, I now need a nice more upper end vehicle. What midsized SUV, since you have seen them all and have first hand knowledge, what two would you recommend and should I buy something new or newly used with very low miles? Hope this message finds you. If you have a minute to reply, I would greatly appreciate hearing your recommendation. It will be of value and you know vehicles best in class! Id love to get something like this but my new position, I'll be home inspections or assessing so I think I'm going to need at least a midsized SUV for the room to travel and keep my supplies in. I would basically take the third row seats and fold them down and that area would be where I kept my luggage and my very small items I will need at all times. Thanks for your advice if you do happen to get this and don't mind. Great review as always. Kashton

[@samgao]

I complained SO MUCH about my 2022 climate controls being integrated into the infotainment at top where I can't see any thing when I reverse for a "quick adjustment" while backing out. Now they fixed it by having a secondary climate control screen. Bravo. By I still hate the giant hole in the middle.

[@richardpellis]

Houston - large city, but getting my Genesis serviced is terrible. I needed cruise control error analyzed. Called for service - was told 3-4 weeks wait time. Was able to get in @ 2 weeks, THEN 3 week wait for a new DS wheel hub, then service appt. $175 for diagnosis, $450 for repair (OEM part was $145 on Amazon). LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my 2017 G80 - but, hesitant to buy a later model. Caveat emptor 🤔

@@BHabe-m1j First of all....Do not quote me as saying "great warranty". I didn't say anything remotely close to their warranty being "great". I simply stated the terms of the warranty. And I ended my comment with "no???" That means that I was asking, someone who would know, if the company's warranty is a no b.s. warranty or not. If you bought a crappy car from a crappy company, then just say so. Don't ask me a litany of questions because you have a bunch of gripes you need to vent. And I've owned BMW's, and I've noticed nothing more special about their service/repair quality than with the other 4 brands I've owned.

Joe, thanks. always a pleasure to watch. But anyone had the 2021-22 of this? How reliable after 80k+ ? Actually, Gensis has been around in other countries since mid or early 2000's and it's been reliable. But not all manufacturers are doing good turbo engines. I think this is maybe the same engine on the Sonata N-line? I mean at the end, what really counts is the reliability after minimum of 4 years or 150k+. Thanks

I purchased a Certified Pre-owned 2021 G80 with almost all the bells and whistles. It was an absolutely beautiful car inside and out with THE most comfortable seats I've ever sat in and I've tried almost every car brand. Unfortunately with just 15k miles, the rear main seal (where the transmission connects to the engine) was leaking oil - from the factory. The quality of Genesis and especially the dealership experience and repair department just isn't there yet. Long story short, I traded it in for a Lexus.
