2020 Cadillac CT5-V vs 2020 Genesis G70 3.3T - Redline: Comparison

[@theredline]

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. Today, we have the latest luxury sport sedans going head to head. Before you see which one we choose as the winner, let us know which one you guys would put in your driveway? Cadillac CT5-V or Genesis G70 3.3T?

[@canadabear72]

I'd take the G70 because I don't really care too much about the back seat and it's 10K cheaper. But if I needed the space, the CT5V still represents a great value.

[@officialcarblog8132]

I'll take the CT5 because I love GM technology and the space the car has.

Cadillac is trying to make a come back, but Genesis is making a Revolution of making something different. Great comparison.

[@dmoney668]

Different? Hyundai copies other manufacturer designs all day. Not unique my man, but I do like them

[@Jacobk66]

Maybe the next gen or after the facelift. The current G70 is a mess of unrelated styling cues to make it be more premium but comes off as a discount vibe, especially with the flagrant Hyundai interior tech. I think they are getting there though and the new G80 is a more cohesive design that will help build the brand.

I wouldn't think to compare these two cars. As good as the G70 looks, I don't get a feeling of prestige or quality from Hyundai/Genesis. There is the copycat nature of the brand, the not reporting defects in the past and the engine fires of the 4 cylinders. It's just hard to look at the brand as legitimate luxury. Aside from all of that the G70 is an appealing package but the CT-5 V would definitely be my choice. Just enough V to be cool and quick without spending 100k.

[@ZapFlashD]

The G70 is a really amazing car for the money! It and the CT5 are just so tempting but unless you have a lot of money to lose, no one's buying a new car right now.

The G70 actually makes 400+ ft/lbs of torque as seen by stock dyno's but it's being torque limited on launch. You can see the actual performance of the 3.3T when comparing 5-60, 30-50 and 50-70 times against competitors, where it's faster than all but the M340i. Cadillac has a nice car here, although the gauge cluster looks low rent. I like the sound, infotainment screen, front end and space more in the CT5. The rest goes to the G70 in my estimation. My previous car was an ATS 3.6 and I liked it but the materials weren't what they seemed and it was already having issues at the 2 year mark. My G70 has been solid.

[@mybro727]

Slip Angle Sorry am I missing something? Are the gauges in the Genesis G70 of “higher quality” plastics or something? Because they both literally feature the same style of gauge yet the Cadillac CT5 was the only one to receive the negative feedback. That’s hilarious.

Thanks for the great review of these two cars. I am putting break-in miles on my recent 3.3 G70 purchase, and I was just noticing that the G70 does not ride as well as a 2008 CTS that I drove as a rental. The magic of Cadillac's magnetorheological dampers, of course, is the difference. Your review is very fair, and spot-on. Thanks for giving Genesis and the G70 credit where credit is due. The Caddy is prolly slightly better overall, but the G70 is still a great value proposition. When building the Caddy online, when you start adding options above the base model, they add up pretty quickly, and you can end up $10,000 over an equivalent G70. No regrets about buying the G70. If we want cars like that on the market, we need to buy them. The other great thing about the Genesis, at least in my area, is that unlike an Acura TLX Type S, Genesis is actually building enough of them that the dealers can't treat them like Unobtainium. Honda's marketing strategy with the CTR and TLX Type S managed to push me out of the Honda fold and over to Hyundai/Kia.

[@lttsr]

zonapainter Just use your common sense please. You’re gonna tell me that GM is going to price their 5 series and E class competitor more 20k less than their competitors? Really? Are you that stupid? Not even Hyundai/Genesis does that and Cadillac has far more brand cachet. It’s very obvious which class of car they were going after especially when you look at how the trim levels and horsepower stack up. They did it deliberately to give themselves a competitive advantage. Why do you think the CT4-V has only 325 hp and has a 4 cylinder? Hint, it competes with the S3 but is the size of the A4. Maybe you should use your head a little bit.

Inso far as interior space is concerned, I never have passengers in the back seats, so I don't need them in either car. A coupe is more my style. I love the 5 year warrantee and maintenance plan.

I’m calling bullshit. Genesis resale value is nothing to write home about. A “V” series Cadillac is going to hold it’s value over the years much better than any Genesis especially a Genesis G70 with a Kia Forte’s infotainment system. Where exactly is the fit and finish superior to the Cadillac CT5? How exactly is the CT5 less reliable than the G70 and what data or proof do you have to show this? The CT5 debuted GM’s all new electrical architecture so any electrical gremlins on the ATS/CTS aren’t even a factor here. The Alpha 2 platform is phenomenal, they both have turbocharged V6 engines, GM’s 10-speed has proven to be reliable... you can’t predict the reliability of a brand new car. Your points are all void.

[@joetrombkaii997]

Nice review. However, I'm confused by your driving evaluation regarding handling. On paper, one gets the impression that the G70 handles better, but I think you thought otherwise (skid pad, etc). Also, it's tough to determine how one slots these Caddy's. It's like at least 1/2 car up versus the G70 based upon price and size- or is it the Genesis line that's hard to slot? And from your review, it sounds like the Caddy is priced 20% higher. That's a chunk of coin. I have to admit, I'd torn, but I like the size of the G (no need for backseat room and the G's folded seats leave a much larger opening to the trunk. I also am biased as I own the G, but the C wasn't available when I bought mine. Now the updated G70 should help with the dash, but the rear seat room is, I think, unchanged.

Caddy for me as well! Wonderful review! Cant wait for the Black Wing 🤯

[@jordanrose9147]

Look up the msrp.

[@papaagidi2838]

The G70 has 8inch screen not 7

[@jsfbay1]

I know it's two years later, but I still like the Cadillac even though it's a tad slower (than Genesis as well as the German models) though you really have to pay to get all the goodies. It's about $65k Monroney, which is a deal compared to the 5 series it's sized similar to.

[@michaelwilburn1001]

5:38 the steering wheel automatically adjust down once you close the door going up to give you room when you leave on the genesis. Very impressive

[@1stAirwave]

Cadillac has the same ability, you just have to hit the button (which is on the driver side door)

[@fitpotato2081]

I can't even afford to pay my monthly rent, but here I'm watching this video.

[@jordanmenczer5662]

The 10 speed transmission takes forever to downshift- it takes 2-3 seconds when you are pushing it. It will only downshift at 2000 rpm in manual mode. The G70 gives you every downshift and has much better handling and steering feel. The Cadillac is not as agile (which makes sense because its bigger).

[@jordanmenczer5662]

@@layne4376 check out Matt Farah's review of the Cadillac. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ame2l4Z4gdeAosU I own the G70 and to be fair I am a little biased. It's not sports car feel of connection but the steering is crisp enough to call it a sports sedan.

[@dtay8913]

Thank you sofyan for just giving your honest opinion. You didn't cop out and say "oh it's a GM so I automatically choose the genesis" you looked at it on it's own merit without any bias.

[@desertmodern7638]

The Cadillac looks pretty damn good in a dark enough colour to hide the hideous C-pillar.

[@Jluislive]

Yup! That fake side window looks awful. Kills an otherwise great looking car.

[@norwegianblue2017]

They need to fix that. It's the only real zonk in the exterior design.

[@devondelgado1818]

The green on the Cadillac is really pretty

[@nathanjurado4834]

I feel like the CT4-V would've made a better comparison with it's size, price, or torque. Or they should've compared the G80 to the CT5-V for it's size, price, and torque

[@LuanNguyen-np5ii]

Both are great but got myself a Kia Stinger GT awd indigo edition for $40K. MSRP $49K with added paint protection ceramic coating and some other shits about $3K for a total of $52K. So $12K in discount total for the car, not a bad choice at all. Daily driving my lexus NX200T to work and taking the stinger GT on the weekend. I did all the rebadges and carbon ppf gloss the hood and it looked gorgegous. In this video though I would still go for the G70 if you are gonna lease it. Most guys here worry too much about depreciation so leasing is the best choice for both of these cars.

[@Jluislive]

Sofyan you run a great channel with awesome reviews. But regardless of the price, this is a compact vs a midsize sedan comparison, just not right.

[@firehouse713]

This is NOT a fair comparison... CT5 is mid size not compact and, it is much newer. Why don’t you put the 2021 G80 against the CT5?

[@khronin]

I have a Stinger and it is not a compact--they are 4000lb plus mid size cars--the caddy is just a little bigger for a midsize--approaching a full size car.

[@jovid7]

Next years G70 refresh with the digital dash and blind spot cameras will kill that Cady. Heck the refreshed 2021 Stinger may be better.

[@rlsedition]

To my eyes the Genesis is not as good looking as the Caddy (or my Alfa Romeo Giulia).

[@NisuUuno]

G70 will be refreshed next year. Wait for it.

[@bblackmann]

The Cadillac, all day. Though the G70 is not a bad looking car.

[@reneschneeberger6601]

Thanks for comparing these two vehicles. The Cadillac is well done but oh my, that design of the rear three quarters! What a wasted opportunity to make a car look great. That doo-dad add on of plastic is ridiculous, not to mention ugly. Love the Genesis and can't wait for the updated versions to kick Cadillac' butt.

[@rlsedition]

And that Genesis G70 "hockey stick" on the front fenders is awful.

Cadillac should’ve offer us midrange sport sedans long ago. That CT5V is gorgeous and yes with the c pillar. Black on Black and red stitching for me. I see this is my future. That wide rear end is hard af.

For what it's worth, a longer wheelbase will give you a better ride regardless of the suspension tuning. That's why the Caddy feels like a slightly better daily.

[@wesleywalls7582]

James Russo True, that helps, but the CT5’s ace is the trick mag ride suspension setup from the C8 Corvette. There’s not a better, more advanced suspension available anywhere.

Great thorough reviews of both cars. But..... with all the comments about size, why not compare G70 to CT4 (compact) and/or G80 to CT5 (mid-size)?

​@@1stAirwave Just FYI - my question is asking them why not go and do two more comparisons (G70 va 4, and G80 vs 5); I am not asking why thy did something that is already done.

[@olivierdevries01]

This really should have been a comparison between the CT-5 and G80. The size difference is only 3 inches vs the 10 inches difference between the CT-5 and G70. You chose this comparison based on price. If you had brought in the G80, you would see that the Cadillac is not much more expensive than the Genesis.
