A long time ago, the best choice for a sport sedan was a BMW 3-series or Mercedes-Benz C-Class. With times changing and electrification looming, so other choices are apparent for buyers looking for a compact sport sedan. #Cadillac is no stranger to this segment and the latest #CadillacCT5V is a midsize offering in a compact segment. The #GenesisG70 is one of the newest players and even though #Genesis doesn't have much experience, the #G70 has been one of the best new sport sedans money can buy since it came out last year. Both the #CT5V and and G70 sport twin-turbo V6 engines with over 350 HP in rear or AWD. For around $50k, which one of these new sport sedans is the best?

[@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?

[@johnholst]

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.

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.

The CT4 competes with the A3. Now he can do a follow up video with the CT4 to see how they stack up but they aren’t competitors

[@zonapainter]

@@lttsr you can believe what you want, but price isn't the determining factor for competitors in class. The CT5-V is the same size as the CTS-V. How many automotive publications did you ever hear say that the CTS-V competed against a M3? Zero. It was a direct competitor to the M5, E63, and RS6.

[@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.

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.

Cadillac can't make up their minds on marketing. the original CTS was suppose to compete with the 3, C, A4, yes. but the last gen they moved it up market to allow a slot for the ATS. Now they are still making a 5, E, A6 sized car, but says it's a 3, C, A4 competitor mean while the ATS/CT4 now competes with the 2 series, A-class, and A3? when did the comparison shifted to how much these car msrp vs how they fit into a car size segment based on how big they are? ... it's also interesting too that i spec out a CT5-V with options i would get the msrp goes to $62k and i spec out a 540i M-sport with the options i would get and it's $69k. I would think these are definitely in the same class.

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.

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.

I think the greatest mistake of the video is that the Ct5-V is actually competing with the E Class or BMW 5 series of the world.

As a matter of fact I am seriously considering get one and been shopping around in my city. They are amazing cars and somewhat under appreciated.

[@SlipAngleG70]

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.

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 screen size is on the genesis is a very nice size not to big or not to small. I don’t know why these manufactures feel the need to have such massive size screen, it’s ridiculous

[@robertporter1984]

Actually a really good review but when a new model or refresh is just around the corner??? Seems to just wait for the new G70 to come out to compare but thanx for making this anyways.

[@FXIIBeaver]

Got to compare them now because the CT5V is about to get a super charged 6.2L

[@2202spinner]

or compare to a similar class like the G80 around the corner. Then Caddy gets killed

[@FXIIBeaver]

@@2202spinner big doubt.

[@isaac198428]

That minute when Cadillac(GM) brand doesn’t sell and cuts price significantly to compete with a newbie like Genesis(Hyundai) 😂🤣😂 Even BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Acura and Lexus are feeling the heat from Genesis G70, G80 & G90. Who knew an underdog would be up there with the big boys? Lol

[@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.

[@victorrippe5845]

Genesis is a much better build car

[@stampcollectordenier]

That laugh when accelerating in the CT5 says it all!

[@CalvinHikes]

I'm not sure I would buy the Cadillac over the Genesis, but I do like it better. Especially in that color.

[@NiteEy3]

Genesis has 10yr warranty on the turbos...caddy?

[@1stAirwave]

ANY color!

[@1stAirwave]

@@NiteEy3 G70 NEEDS that warranty in order to help sales. That's what happens when you're a cheap Korean piece of plastic, with zero brand recognition.

TheSmokingTire roasts this poser V Cadillac for its horribly slow downshifts and the brakes overheating during a canyon drive.

[@wesleywalls7582]

Jordan Buttkevitz c’mon...something clearly wrong with his press car. Matt sandbagged that review...he knows better than to suggest the car was behaving as designed. It should be noted that his “conclusion” is the exception, not the norm. Nearly every other review has praised the car, and transmission.

[@jaredstephenson6468]

My heart would pick the Cadillac but my head and wallet would pick the Genesis.

[@madpistol]

I'd get the CT5-V... if it wasn't a Cadillac. The reliability and cost-of-ownership of the G70 is supposed to be superb, and as we all know, Cadillacs have never been reliable.

[@Larwiz]

Good comparison. My initial thought was that these two are in different size classes. I would think that the new G80 would be more comparable to the CT5. Nonetheless, good comparison. Surprised you actually went with a GM product. Pleasantly surprised.

[@brunobonneau9308]

You should compare G70 with the CT4-V no with CT5-V

[@somejackball]

love the green! reminds me of my old 91 GTA, think it was called Forest Green Metallic back then

[@AkiraSieghart]

The CT5-V is much bigger than the G70 although they're both very similar in terms of luxuriousness. But sport-wise, the CT5-V blows the G70 out of the water. Same thing with the G80.

[@Matthew-yh3hh]

New Tlx type s awd 😎

[@Hazwaste63]

Cadillac will be putting Super Cruise on the CT5-V and CT4-V in 2021. Going to be a pretty big advantage over the Genesis.

[@joshrandall5297]

My '19 G70 3.3T only recommends Premium fuel, not required.

[@genesisg7022]

Read your manual, it requires premium fuel. Unless we have different owners manual. My manual states vehicle might not preform properly without premium fuel. It's only a few cents. Rather spend it . Who wants a car to go varoom cough cough varoom. Rather have it varoom, varoom, varoom. Why get a luxury vehicle, then cheap out on the fuel?

[@chrisoconnor3119]

The car will not advance the timing if regular is used probably, or even maybe retard the timing? Turbo needs premium though for full potential

[@miguelircontar]

I’ll take a 2021 Genesis G70

[@ZapFlashD]

The facelifted model still looks a bit off to me compared to the G80. After a while I'm starting to get used to it. I think it's mainly the grille and lights. They're not "sharp enough" if that makes any sense.

[@bluebladex3]

The g70 is so damn beautiful. I've ignored most luxury sedans because they all felt the same and never caught my attention. A g70 I rented looks so good that I never got bored looking at it. The look is way better looking to me compared to most luxury cars except Cadillac which to me is pretty even. Cadillac make some sexy sport sedans but the price point on the Genesis wins me over.

[@johnholst]

Both of these cars are awesome! They both offer good performance with excellent driving dynamics and well done interiors. The G70 is likely to be more reliable. The CT5 is bigger and about 10K more expensive. Still, both are great values.

[@GoofieNewfie]

the price is a hard one to swallow fully loaded. Its like 65+. May as well get a 340 or s4 or s5.

[@johnholst]

@@GoofieNewfie But then you need to decide if you want a fully loaded car or a base car for the same money. Base German cars are not very appealing imo.

I’ve always loved that color from GM and glad they brought it back. My dad bought a brand new 93 S10 off the show room floor in that same color
