I have a white 3.5t with ultramarine blue interior and have had it since the end of july 2021. I would have waited for the 2.5t versions to come in, but I don’t believe the 2.5t models have the blue interior options, which was the strongest selling point for me. (I also couldn’t wait anymore, I was sharing a car since Nov 2020…) My biggest issue/gripe is the rear doors don’t have their own set of open/lock sensors, when other “luxury” cars of this class have them on all 4. Current Mercedes models have it standard on all the doors, even starting on entry level Gla/glb models. Something they can def add in on future model years. Only other random issue that’s really a parlor trick is, holding the car key lock button cannot close the windows, but they can open them.. again, it should have both options… a gla/glb has it … and it’s a size class level below… I love the car, I still get people looking all the time, they’re just not mass sellers yet like an x3/q5/glc, but honestly a much nicer quality interior compared to those three.

Excellent review as always, Tom. It's clear why the GV70 took home honors at Mudfest this year. And Genesis pulled a smart move (imo) in offering the 2.5L turbo 4 as the base engine in the vehicle. A powerplant that at my last count is standard or optional in at least 9 (!) KIA, Hyundai, and Genesis models. That makes the GV-70 base model, even with options at $50K or less. But that brings me to my biggest complaint as far as Genesis is concerned. While the new corporate 4 banger has earned strong reviews in a host of other vehicles, Genesis has failed to offer it in the sedan version G70. Sticking instead to the earlier 2.0L engine with nearly 50 less HP and only mediocre torque. As someone who loves sedans and is considering a VW Arteon or KIA Stinger GT-Line (before its demise next year) I find it both sad and puzzling that Genesis wouldn't offer a more capable base engine in the G70 as they have in the GV70 and G80. Considering that the 2.5L turbo in other KIA and Hyundai models turns in a 0-60 time of about 5.2 seconds, only about a half second slower than the twin turbo 3.3L V6 in the Stinger, I'd expect it would deliver similar performance in the G70. Obviously, Genesis is putting far more effort in the GV70 than in the G70 sedan. One further point. It's noteworthy that Genesis is offering concierge service along with "free" standard maintenance on their vehicles for 3 yrs/36K miles. Obviously, they're hoping to spare their customers the embarrassment of appearing at a Hyundai dealer in person. Originally, Hyundai hoped to emulate Acura, Lexus, and Infiniti in fully separating their luxury brand dealerships from their mainstream brands. That plan collapsed when they were sued by a number of Hyundai dealers who had been selling the early Genesis models as a Hyundai sub-brand. The dealers won and Hyundai agreed to continue providing Genesis models to Hyundai dealers as long as they provided a separate entrance and showroom.

Then 2.5 years ago I decided to buy the then-new Genesis G70 because I had decided I didn't need a car as big as the GLC300 (which was indeed a great car). I love my G70 but I feel Genesis, in getting these SUVs out, is now a bit behind the curve on the electric or hybrid powertrains. Based on YT videos from Asia, Genesis now has a full-electric car available in Korea (the GV60), which perhaps will be available in the US next year. As much as I like the GV70, I find myself more interested in the GV60 now.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

I'm looking forward to driving the 60 as well (and seeing it in person since the design seems polarizing in photos). have to remember not everyone has a place to charge. Gas engines will be around for a long time.

[@jazzfan7491]

@@DrivenCarReviews Yes I am in the category where I don't have any place to charge an electric at the moment, but I hope to remedy that (i.e., finally buy a house) within the next few months. 🤓 Electric car penetration, in California at least, seems to already be beyond the point where government subsidized charging stations would be very popular.

@@DrivenCarReviews yep EVs are batteries to my tongue.

[@nostradamus2642]

Think the back seat is a lot bigger than that of the Porsche Maccan. I'd say it's almost the same size as that of the GLC.

[@dnourachi]

No one, not even sales person at a dealership know that the Genesis has a nice feature. If you press and hold the button at the door handel you can close the opened sunroof and all opened windows of the car. Great if kids leave windows open or partially open.

Enjoyed watching as always, but KZbin seems to be fouled up again - 720p is the maximum available 14 hours after posting. Tom tells us to watch in 4K, make it available KZbin! :)

[@DrivenCarReviews]

It's now in 4K but YTs version of that is kind of lame.

[@cuttestpomeraniansimbafrie2600]

Beautiful car.......... I just test drove one, it has that old solid German driving heritage.....

[@iamdenislara]

Question: the service plan is included in the price? Or you have to buy it at the purchase of the car?

[@randyfine4535]

included, 5 years in Canada and 3 in the USA

[@vmpgsc]

It's a lovely choice in this segment, but availability will be constrained for some time...

[@dalehuhtala9285]

I ordered a 2023 and got it in 3 months!

[@joelhenderson4450]

Those rims!

[@stanleyngugi4788]

I like the design, great competition for Lincoln. I like it, watching from Kenya 🇰🇪

Excellent review. Brand prestige though for myself, is always worth the premium and greatly impacts resale/trade in value. However, Hyundai did a great job with this.

[@jazzfan7491]

How does your pricing service work? I'm interested in swapping my 2019 G70 for one of these. Can I use your pricing service to check on a trade-in?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

You’d use the service to get a quote on the new car. The dealer would then give you trade-in info.

[@jazzfan7491]

@@DrivenCarReviews Great thanks. Genesis is the brand for people who like bargains. 🤓

[@aavocadoToast]

Your review was good. Straight to the point, great facts and good neutral opinions.

[@24bergman]

I really love the color, I wonder what it’s like to live with.

[@dalehuhtala9285]

I found the ride too firm, not what I expected from a luxury vehicle. Update: ended up buying a 2.5T Prestige with 19" wheels which addressed the ride issues. Even bought this colour...the glossy version.

[@rafaelortizsegura3636]

Electrify. Because 21mpg on premium fuel at currently more than four bucks a GALLON doesn't cut it anymore. This said, however, it is very attractive and seems well made.

[@martinkleinman2522]

It looks great. Except those wheels! What's with those wheels? But I'm adding it to my list, for sure. Maybe they have a "tasteful wheels" option...

[@randyfine4535]

take a look at the 19" wheels, that's what I got

[@M4NA5]

Dealer markups on one of these is crazy! You can actually buy a GV80 for less than a GV70.

[@randyfine4535]

I'm so thankful in Canada they are not allowed to markup

[@razorraysolarsavings70]

I despise the stealerships, f**** ‘em!

[@J.Zealuis]

But....is it reliable???? 🤔🤔 Like how long would it last or how many problems will it give

[@bluwng]

I like Genesis bit for a luxury brand I need a dedicated Genesis dealership, it’s all part of the service, that is why I never pull the trigger.

[@Audioholics]

Agreed. The standard steering wheel looks like a cheep caravan and is off-putting. You want the better steering wheel, it hacks the price up to > $50k.

[@justSTUMBLEDupon]

Is that like a matt purple?

[@bikebudha01]

Genesis will never take off as a brand as long as there are no Genesis dealers. Spokane WA doesn't have one. Boise ID doesn't have one, in fact IDAHO doesn't have one. Neither does Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas... I think you see where I'm going here. I talked with my local Hyundai dealer. They said Genesis is requiring dealers to build new stand alone dealerships. Stupid. I don't understand the decision that says "we won't sell you a car unless we can sell that car in a fancy building".

[@jcontradiction]

They need to get rid of that long crease line.
