AWD is slow... it's for Grandmas and Grandpas are you a Grandpa

@@rockefelleragent1357 Ah, what did you say sonny?

@Jason King Ew?... The Genesis G70 RWD got the same laptime as the F80 BMW M3 at the race circuit Inje Speedium and you say Ew?... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jpuZbNqQq63FfYE.html

340?

April 2019, I purchased a 2019 Genesis G70 3.3.T. So far, 68K miles and no problems, just schedule maintenance and a set of tires. I live in Southern California, I have rear wheel drive only. I didn't realize how much I missed a rear wheel drive vehicle. I must admit that I prefer the new front end of the G70, but prefer my rear end better. And of course I would have loved to have the bigger infotainment screen 😁. I get compliments almost every week, people asking what is it. Now I know why Genesis wrote their name on the trunk!

100% agree, almost every time I'm getting gas someone comes over to ask what it is. Ironically it's usually people in BMW and Mercedes and they're always a big fan. Such a great car.

I would have been moved to this over my Stinger GT2 if not for the fact that I have two kids and need the larger back seat and hatch/trunk. G70 is too small in that regard. Sweet ride though.

2022 Cadillac CT5-V would beg to differ.

@@mybro727 With all the same features as this G70 or the Stinger GT2 your CT5-V would be almost 70k.

You not a fan of the BeaverMW 4 series beaver grill? 😂

I may be in the minority, but I find Genesis dual slit headlights downright ugly. Their lineup is made up of mishmash combinations of different cars.

@@leebr2010 I agree. I actually feel near the opposite of Savage AF. Genesis has the most unattractive lineup almost all luxury automakers here in the U.S. Even the new Mazda and Acura products look more cohesive and sophisticated compared to the very quirky/goofy styling of HMG.

@@user-gw5rs7fp9j 4 series looks way better than this thing in person.

@@mybro727 😂 I really really hope so 👍🏻

Lucky man

@@kromahj Indeed! Blessed for sure

@@darkknightsds how do you like it? how bad is the gas mileage

The 2.5t is dual?

Rumor is they won't put the 2.5T in the G70 because it would put it in a different tax bracket in EU.

@@funnyfarm299 :/ sadly that makes sense :/

Direct Injection. Not dual.

AGREED!!! 100%! Why this wasn't included is just beyond comprehension! None of those features would hurt the crash tests. or the performance of the car. So why are they included in Korea and not here in the USA??? I don't get these car manufacturers. 🤔

@@SeanOC22 Thank you! What’s weird is that in Canada, the G70’s are available with the power trunk lid and heated rear seats. In addition, you can get the red quilted leather as a normal interior color option on the Sports Prestige. In the US, the red leather is only available on the Launch Editions. The US got the shaft with this facelift!

The new engines would be very helpful. Dual injection 3.5t will not have the valve carbon build up.

I feel like it would be cheaper just to make the same trims for the whole world. Why have different hardware just because of region differences. Example, heated steering wheel and seats for Canadian Veloster N, but not for the US. AWD only g70 in Canada, but a choice of rwd or awd in the US.

I can confirm that the 2023 g70 3.3t rwd (fully loaded) has the power trunk but still no heated rear seats or full digital gauge cluster…other than that, I’m still impressed with driving and handling dynamic especially with sport prestige package…I also got the sport advance package as well. Puts a big grin on my face!🤙🏼

Have you seen the new G80 steering wheel on the 2022-23? It's way better than the original.

I own a 3.3T AWD. The half digital dash doesn’t bother me at all.

@Christiansdad2011 Same! Tlx S although striking exterior just didn’t like how big it is and handles (SHAWD is remarkable) a bit slower than competition, infotainment is a nuisance, not that good on gas like comps…I purchased G70 3.3t rwd (fully loaded)…love it!!!👍🏼

yeah it weighs over 4200lbs if I remember correctly

He forgot about the Volvo S60 too.

did you not see the mirai...

@@laloajuria4678 Yes i saw the video, i was talking more in general terms cause im subscribed to more channels and really to get a sedan even after 4 days is something cool

Why did you get rid of the BMW?

I shopped all of these cars about 3 months ago. Ended up with the stinger 2.5T Selling points included decent mpg, room inside the car, and cargo space. I'm fully sold on hatches now. Even the base version comes very nicely equipped. No worries of sunroof leaks either - there is no sunroof.

G70 or Kia by a mile over the TLX. The TLX is less sporty and the Acura infotainment is abysmal.

I'd get the Golf R over any of those

Korean designs are ugly af.

@@georgiaguardian4696 that is your opinion, clearly plenty of people like the or they would not be selling.the issue with the Koreans is same as Japanese, every model cycle the design seems to radically change. The Germans it is more evolutionary and you see the family history in each model cycle. We will see which direction Genesis goes. The crest grille is too big, but then so is the Lexus grille.

Civic is fwd. These other cars are either RWD or FWD based AWD... Physics of the drive train components being back there hurts leg room

@@stories1984 That’s just an excuse. Going into production knowing the drivetrain and transmission configurations considering all trims Hyundai should’ve made it a point to increase the rear passenger interior space of this G70 if they want be taken seriously as an North American targeted contender. The Cadillac CT5 has worlds more rear interior passenger room. It’s not even close.

@@stories1984 Doesn't mean they can't engineer more leg room into the rear seating. Extend the wheel base, but that may affect driving dynamics and weight.

Tell me your experience? I just purchased a 23' sport prestige silver with a red interior! So far I love it. I'm coming out of a 2015 Accord EX-L V6 Coupe and the g70 is a little narrow compared to the Accord. The interior is way nicer and beautiful. Loved my J35y1 honda v6 engine which was very quick but this motor is faster. Not as refined sounding to me but faster. Transmission is different in that it shifts quicker and smoother except when in freezing weather and still cold. Ride was relatively equal if not a little better in the Accord. Probably has to do with my all season pirellis and 18 inch rims compared to pilot sport 4s and 19 inch staggered with thin sidewalls. Back seat in my Accord coupe was way more comfortable and bigger with more room. Trunk in my Accord was way bigger. Gas mileage on my V6 Accord was around 21 around town but on my 1200 mile trip home to Texas I always averaged 34mpg. In my g70 I averaged 25. Plus my Accord coupe had an 18 gallon tank that I woukd get 500 miles per tank on the highway on long trips. I get 310 if I'm luck which makes me stop more often than I'd like. Changing my own oil was way easier in the accord and only required 4.5 quarts. G70 requires 7.3. So just a few minor annoyance but I believe worth it as long as the car remains reliable. So far it's been very good. Put together well too. No creaks squeaks or rattles. I do plan on switching out these tires to some pirellis or Yokohamas that offer better rain and snow traction and longevity. I don't use premium gas but I do use TOP TIER GASOLINE. Dealer has been good to deal with. It's not a stand alone genesis dealer as there are only around 5 of those but they do a good job.

@@gabevillarreal96 of course they will be different. You’re not comparing apples to apples lol. I love mine. I came from a c class Mercedes so size with it was similar, I have a lot more power in the g70, and more features.

@@frankkristof8859 No I'm comparing what I was driving to what I am now driving. C class would be way more similar. But yiu get so much more bang for your buck in the g70 compared to the c class. I'm anxious to see how reliable it is over time with regular use here in Nashville TN. My Honda was amazing.

@@gabevillarreal96 oh okay, yeah it’s a fantastic car for the money.

@@frankkristof8859 How has your reliability been and how has the build quality as far as things breaking prematurely and squeaks and rattles?

I own a 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T I get 300 miles each full tank. I also have a spare tire 😁, thank God! I'm a commuter, I drive 100 miles a day round trip to and from work. All freeway miles. Got to have a spare tire. I go 3 days per full tank! And I don't Baby My Baby 😉😉!

@@genesisg7022 Thanks for the info.

@@thexoftexas4267 I can confirm 2023 g70 3.3 t rwd w/ sport prestige package includes spare tire (among other goodies of course)…also has electronic er automatic trunk open and close (thought that was a nice touch)!

@@marvelvsdc6611 Thank you very much.

@@thexoftexas4267 for sure! 👍🏼

Genesis didn't add the 2.5t engine to the G70 is due to regulations and cost. That big turbocharged inline 4 engine will be taxed in Europe and China. The Kia Stinger is able to this motor, because it doesn't sell in those 2 regions.

@@JT-fq2bl Interesting but I'm skeptical. In the first place, the Stinger is sold in both Europe and China. And in the second place, I wonder how it is that Genesis has "regulation and cost" issues with the 2.5L turbo engine in those regions but not with the G70 SUV or the G80 sedan.

@@stephenhendricks103 The taxation on GV70/80 & G80 is probably cheaper in those categories. I do know the compact sedan category cannot have a base inline 4 engine over 2.0l without taxation. I wouldn't be surprised this is also applied to the v6 engines as well. I noticed the German brands 6 cylinder engines are no larger than 3.0l. This is probably the reason why the G70 only uses the 2.0t engine only. The next generation of German compact cars will only use 4 cylinder engines, and Genesis will go the extra step by going electric only.

I feel that Genesis didn't put the 2.5 in the 4 cylinder version because it wanted people to purchase the Kia Stinger with the 2.5. A little separation. Like in the United states, Hyundai stopped selling the Hyundai Azera because they wanted people to move into the Genesis brand. The Hyundai Azera still sells overseas, and is actually a beautiful car! 2012 I purchased the 2012 Hyundai Azera. It was a tough decision because of the Genesis sedan. But the Azera had better features for a lower price. Only difference is the Azera is front wheel drive ,the Genesis sedan was rear wheel drive. Currently we(my wife and I) own a 2006 Hyundai Tucson, 2012 Hyundai Azera and my 2019 Genesis G70 3.3.T. Very reliable vehicles.

But it’s also the same price for a 2.5T stinger as a base 3.3T g70

He is probably talking about real world 0-60. BMW is very conservative with time. I bet BMW will do sub 4s under ideal conditions and 4-4.1 under regular conditions. The power is also massively underrated.

On paper, you are right, but BMW underrates their engines. Real world testing shows about 4.0 sec 0-60 for the M340i, which is quite a bit faster.

The BMW is faster but in the real world it’s more like nearly $70,000 now now 55

Not true. Caranddriver has gotten as low as 3.8 seconds with the xdrive models

Or the 5.0 V8 from the last G90.

It’s not that big of difference…correct me if I’m wrong but 3.5t engine has 375 hp/391 torque. I just purchased 2023 g70 3.3t rwd with both sport prestige and sport advance packages…one of these packages gives engine 3 more hp because of active exhaust (I know not a big deal) bringing up to 368 hp/376 torque which only down 7 hp of 3.5t engine although it’s a decent bump up for torque which is like 15 lb ft more, I believe.

Not even close performance wise

And i ordered it a month ago and no one knows any idea of when or if ill ever see it. You know because of the sh*t show the world is in.

Problem with putting the new 2.5T in the base model is it cannibalises sales of the 3.3TT.

@@Bergerac82 Change the 3.3tt to the newer 3.5tt. Problem solved. Not sure why the stinger gets the newer engine but not the g70. The stinger is just a refresh like this g70, not a new model.

@@2010ngojo the 3.5 has barely anymore power than the 3.3. You’d still lose too many buyers to the 300hp 4 pot.

@@Bergerac82 Eh, more overhead for tuning and power potential. That reason alone is why I would get the 3.5tt regardless, when comparing to any other offerings old or new.

@@2010ngojo great for you. Not relevant to the market dynamics of the sector and brand. They are deliberately hamstringing the base engine to encourage uptake of the top trims. Doing the same with the GV70, 3.5 gets manufacturing priority.

I saw a 22 civic hatchback sport touring for 10k MSRP, car had asking 40k price

Tell me about it! I’m disabled and retired military (this year) so I had a nice stack of money I’ve been saving up for my retirement gift…tried to buy Caddy CT5V but dealer didn’t really want to negotiate seriously…they only had 1 V fully loaded, msrp $64,999 not including dealer mark up, tint, paint protection, taxes etc, $70k! Went to Genesis, 3.3t rwd fully loaded msrp $55K…then dealer markup, tint, paint etc…$62k! I was able to negotiate down to $57k! After test drive I pulled the trigger…I was err am really impressed! If you’re able to, I’d say test drive and if you like g70, buy it! The sport prestige package definitely is worth it…mine also came with sport advance package as well! ✌🏼

IMO, the Giulia is the most beautiful luxury sports sedan. The KIA stinger is a close second.

@@damilolaakanni Can't argue there. I honestly had those exact 3 in my top 3 when I decided to buy my latest car. I test drove so many Stingers and G70s but I couldn't pass up on the Giulia.

@@ThousanWhite hey man, good luck with the Guilia…I’ve read that the overall satisfaction in those are one of the lowest according to a lot of publications due to very low reliability. 🤞🏼 If anything does go wrong where you get rid of it, try Genesis g70 3.3t rwd with sport prestige package…I think you’ll be impressed! I was and now a happy owner. 🤘🏼

@@marvelvsdc6611 That's exactly what I just did; I bought a 2022 Giulia Veloce...had it 5 months. Brakes started squealing at 2K miles, headlight burned out due to a seal breaking in the headlamp module and taking in water, and some other things as well that I don't normally experience in cars until they hit 40k miles. I don't have the patience anymore for shoddy build quality so I just purchased a 3.3t. It's only been a few days but I like the feeling that there is a high probability that this car will be more reliable. I do miss the Giulia's looks and drive, though, although this G70 is close enough.

@@gregorriusadolphus2729 damn, sorry to hear about that. Man, I guess all the info I’ve read about Giulia having problems are not wrong. I’m glad to hear about your new car…g70! I’m still enjoying mine…no problems to mention but I’m only at around 2k miles.

@@Tsand4 just on the track and not a detailed review I believe. Correct me if I’m wrong.

@@Tsand4 Thank you. I missed it. I guess I only watched the beginning

The GV60 isn't as beautiful as this, in fact, it's probably the ugliest car Genesis will ever make.

@@damilolaakanni I agree, but I like the interior

With high quality FULL SYNTHETIC OIL AND AN EQUALLY HIGH QUALITY OIL FILTER, ID CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 5K NO MATTER WHAT, THEYVSHOULD BE GOOD. You have a 100k power train warranty that covers tge turbos. I wouldn't keep it past 100k. If you drive it hard often I would change the oil every 4k. Top quality oil and filter as well as diligent maintenance are key.

So far, I’ve read the problems are on the 4 cylinder vehicles only not the 3.3t v6.

Its easy. Look at your bank account. That'll tell you what you should keep for 5+ years

@@thomasmcginnis7526 that's one way of answering a question without answering the question. Assuming one can afford a g70, and it's competitors across segments, there are still so many amazing choices.

If I'm keeping a car of this type for 5+years, it'll definitely be the Lexus IS. I know I won't have issues with it, even after the warranty is up.
