“The beauty of white space” is Korean traditional metaphor meaning empty or plain space is beautiful. It is better to call “beauty of empty space” The reason why white is old Korean painters did’t filled colours in background of their paintings .

Bought a GV70 3.5T in early November 2021. It's an excellent vehicle - very happy with it. My first foray in to luxury SUVs, and so far I'm not disappointed. A couple things to note: If considering the smaller 2.5T four cylinder engine, don't worry about any meaningful difference in performance from the 3.5T. I test drove both, and I really couldn't tell the difference in driving power. The smaller 2.5T makes more noise, but is no less athletic. And, it costs much less, and gets better gas mileage. The reason I went with the larger, more expensive 3.5T is because I wanted the option package with the electronically controlled suspension, as well as the option package that included the matte green finish (which looks awesome). I value quiet and smooth, so wanted the less noisy engine and the smoother suspension. All in all, really pleased. I don't like the German vehicles, purely because of the nasty repair costs. One thing to beware of: you're buying this luxury Genesis in a most-decidedly un-luxury Hyundai dealership. If you demand a white-glove dealership experience like Lexus, Mercedes, Cadillac, etc., you will NOT get that at the Hyundai dealership.

And the technology isn’t too hard to master (I’m 59, and pretty old school when it comes to my vehicle’s knobs and buttons - I like them to be simple.). Gas mileage is just what was advertised. Plenty of power for me. I get a ton of compliments on it, especially the matte green color. As I mentioned in my original review, you’re buying this from a Hyundai dealership.

In fairness, some are better than others - we winter in Scottsdale Arizona, where the Hyundai dealership is quite professional. Northern Chicago suburbs is a different story. All things considered, very pleased with the GV70.
Fully agree with you about the lack of “luxury” experience buying a Genesis at a Hyundai dealership! They’re still in the works to build separate dealerships🤦🏻♀️
My boss ordered one and we went 2 weeks ago to test driver it and it's an amazing suv. It drives so nice. He got the sport plus with all the bells and whistles. He trade his 2016 750i , and he was amazed. He can't wait to get it in September.
seriously cool interior for a reasonably priced car! I’ve been in much more expensive cars that I would certainly not pay double for when this is so reasonable.
Definitely a pretty interior. It’s very modern too. My only issue with Genesis is you have to explain to everyone why you just dropped $70k on a Hyundai. Everyone will understand that price point if you bought a Lexus or BMW or Range Rover or Audi or Mercedes. Hopefully, Genesis can turn that around in the coming years. They’re definitely on the right track!
@@P51DFreak25 their reputation has already grown a lot, these things come with time but if I didn’t know what this was and you told me it was any of the Germans I would believe you.
I like this GV70 a lot. Quite frankly, I think it has more than enough horsepower for me. Personally, I think there's too much emphasis on horsepower and how quick or fast a lot of these vehicles are nowadays. The average purchaser of a sport ute, luxury sedan or truck will NEVER push their vehicles to their full potential. Hell, it takes the average driver close to freakin' 30 seconds or more just to get to 45 MPH from a stop at a traffic light.
Craziest thing about this is that Genesis is fighting the legendary Merc and BMW in a way that Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Mazda, Jaguar, Cadilac, Linclon, Audi, Range Rover, and Buick can not.
@@dinohermann1887 well that yeah I’m not surprised. Their supercharged engines are great and their transmissions they use. But the rest of it yeah I agree
The whole Genesis lineup actually gets me excited, while other brands have gone dull, each of their cars are exciting for me design wise, both inside and out. More brands should take notes....
Given Lexus is beginning to slip down the same sportiness over comfort hole the Germans are; you would likely feel more at home in a genesis than what Lexus will be selling at the time.
@@anasevi9456 I would definitely wait for their new "refreshes" to come and see what the ES, RX and LS will become, given what they did to the NX. but yeah the genesis gv70 is just such a masterpiece, imo.
Probably one of the only small premium crossovers that has a decent value proposition. BMWs and Mercedes have their place, but they are designed to be ridiculously expensive, this is a good in between. Not to mention that six is sure to be an perfect balance of comfort and performance.
I know that everyone has opinions on this being just a Hyndai or that Genesis is out of its league but this GV70 is by far the best looking vehicle in this class. It blows the X3, Q5, GLC, anything out of the water in terms of interior and exterior looks. And I'm 100% willing to lose 1 second 0-60 for the looks of this car.
As someone who’s has been eyeing the g70 and normally wouldn’t consider himself a suv person, I want to get this car. Both the interior and exterior look amazing.
First of all....love your channel. Second, thanks for doing the review. I'm six months into my decked out GV70. I drove five hours to get exactly what I wanted in Silver/Aquamarine blue. I traded up from a '19 G70 3.3T dynamic (too tall for it). Genesis definitely hit a home run with the GV70. I agree with the turbo lag and it could have just a bit better gas mileage. But a phenomenal SUV that looks better than a Macan for much less money. The biggest challenge for Genesis is brand recognition. Last year, they sold 1/20th of what Tesla did because Tesla has a cult following. Nobody knows Genesis after six years as a separate brand. Those that have heard of it still think it's that big sedan made by Hyundai. Their best publicity, unfortunately, is Tiger Woods rolling down a cliff in one.
Precisely my current circumstance! I have a Siberian Ice colored '19 G70 3.3T. I need easier access and more room for the golf gear/pushcart. GV70 is spot on, and the interior/hushed drive will do the trick! How's the vehicle thus far? Any regrets?
Based on your review and few others I bought my 2023 gv 70 in a sport prestige, and it's a beautiful vehicle inside and out. I just came back from a 5k miles trip and have nothing but good things to say. And their valet services are super handy as well.
White space is basically having simplicity/lack of noise and using it to benefit your design and layout. It's something really important in newspapers and apparently car design which is cool to me
I just got the GV70 Sport Plus and I love it............if you want fuel economy keep it in ECO mode!! This is my fourth Genesis and the brand just keeps improving! Great reviews guys........I have the 3d cluster and it's awesome.
I ended up getting this. I think there was something wrong with the unit you had. It does 0-60 in 4.9s and that seems to be what pretty much most other reviewers have seen too. Otherwise great review. I paid the extra for the sport prestige, and am very happy with that decision.
@@antoinewilliams129 It's still a Hyundai. The infotainment is a slightly reskinned version of the regular Hyundai infotainment system you would find in the limited trim, and you still get the 10yr warranty
@@-SP. so I guess you can call an Audi a VW? Lots of similar design and build between those two as well. Genesis has already branched off. Not much to do with Hyundai besides a some parts to save money.
I think this makes much more sense than one of the German brands. I’m not buying an suv for a sporty driving experience so I don’t care how fast it is. Give me comfort, safety and an enjoyable driving experience. Then utility. I like their customer service approach.

This thing is incredible. As soon as I can afford one I’m getting a top of the line fully loaded model with a white exterior and that STUNNING red interior. A truly 10/10 automobile.
Why do car reviewers always worry about how fast an suv is? It's an suv that goes 0-60 in under 6 seconds, that's plenty fast enough. Nobody buys an suv wanting to race it. Is it comfortable, fit a couple kids in the back and does it have good tech? That's what people who buy these will care about
You can fit 5 people over 6 foot comfortably and carry a moderate amount of stuff, except for the person sitting in the middle seat. Tech is the best among competitors and the most luxurious
Not because people want to go racing with an SUV, it’s because of how it drives and how the drivers’ are going to feel driving it. No, it doesn’t need to have tons of power, but it needs to be confident wherever you go. Especially in countries like Korea where there are just hills everywhere. It’s stupid to buy a car just for it’s 0-100 speed, but it can be used to pick a better car for your enviroment.
Nahhhhh I bought my X5 2021 45e because it could go fast andddddd do off road things and fit lots of stuff and people. The idea with suvs like this is for the price it should do it all. Otherwise I’d have bought a palisade or a telluride cus they are amazing vehicles just not sporty at all whether on road or off, that’s why. When you buy a 70k spot utility vehicle, you want it to do all the things.
Great, balanced, and fair review, and entertaining as usual. You guys have great chemistry and just the right degree of comedy without compromising the standard of review.. you're like a more likeable version of Top Gear (they just got too cynical and obvious in the end).
@@duncanidaho7494 Lexus is pretty expensive and Toyota is not very popular here in Germany though. There's barely any dealerships, I got one about 30km away from my home. Hyundai is extremely popular and there's dealerships everywhere, if they sell genesis in Hyundai dealerships instead of new genesis ones, that's a big benefit. And from what I've seen the g80 seems to be very competitively priced and I expect the g70 to be way cheaper than the 3 series also. Probably won't be a big hot, but I can see the brand succeed here.
@@cy9nvs I highly doubt, especially if you live in Germany, you have more interest in getting a german car. Plus, I doubt Genesis will be able to make it that cheaper compared to the local market. We will have to see about that, but don't get your hopes up. I will definitely go with a german car since you live there. (cheaper parts and maintenance and initial price)
I feel like genesis actually listens to what people want and pay attention to what people don’t like about other luxury brands to make their own fantastic vehicles.
The future is now. This contemporary driving. The crossover has taken over the market. I can say that this is the successor to the Infiniti FX35 - sporty crossover using a rear-wheel drive platform.
Now that all auto journalists have to wait to release video footage of new cars, they all come out on the same day. This channel has the funnest and most enjoyable content by far! Keep up the great work you two and your team. As per the GV70 itself. I don't understand why people would want to buy an SUV and expect it to be fun to drive. For those who actually NEED the practicality of an SUV, fun to drive isn't really something on their mind because they can't drive enthusiastically if they're actually hauling people and cargo around anyhow. I guess this fits the bill for people who don't actually need SUV but just want it because...GOTTA HAVE SUV!!11!ONE!!
Your comments about Genesis I think are analogous to this channel. You guys are making such high quality car content that's simultaneously genuinely entertaining. I laughed out loud like 3 times already and I'm not even finished watching the video. What a difference from a fatter, sweatier Thomas zipping around a track in a BMW he had ripped everything out of. Well done boys lol.
I maybe waaaay out of touch, but sub 6s for 0-60 is darn fast for me. I'm not going to be racing between traffic lights. I'm all about reliability and reliability and tech.
I'm here after the Lew Later interview with the straight pipes and the "supposed" beef. I must say keep up the great work on the channels success. Definitely my favorite car review channel
Absolutely love the GV70 2.5 GV70 300HP sadly we won't get the 3.5 engine yet (saying it as a german) The price is awesome for what you get A BMW X3 (xDrive 30d 286HP dont mention the m40i 360HP still need 15k-20k for the same setup) with the same setup and engine is like 80k+ € in germany while this masterpiece will be at 54k € full stacked for 2.5 version Can't wait for the release next month to order one
When I seen this at the Hyundai dealership in that beautiful red. I completely forgot about range rover 😅. Definitely think this will pull me into the SUV trend train.
I'm not an SUV guy, but I just saw one of these today in person and the only thing I can think to say is those wheels are REALLY distracting. The car has such great lines. It's nice to look at. I can only think it would look even better by eliminating that geometric pattern on the wheels and the rear diffuser area.
This car is a perfect blend of luxury and performance...My order is placed and now the 6month wait for the 3.5T V6. As for 0-100km/h...other TH-cam reviews have recorded 4.98sec, and low 5's.
I work at Genesis of Southwest Houston here in Houston, TX. and the GV70 is such an amazing SUV/CUV! They are hard to keep on the lot! Especially with this chip shortage
@@ericwheatley8897 yeah we don’t do that. It’s called the “Market Adjustment” we only charge $1495 for the product we actually apply to our vehicles. Not a dime more
After owning 9 Mercedes models I have made the switch to Genesis. A GV80 Prestige for her, and a GV70 3.5T Sport for me. We couldn't be happier. In fact we got out of a GLS for the GV80 and it is just that much more comfortable for way less money. When you drive the Genesis, it just feels different. They don't have the punch of an AMG but they feel refined like the Mercedes should be but are not because they have compromised comfort for sport. I am honestly hard pressed to find something I don't like about either one of these vehicles.
@@salmonars yup, every straightpipes video is exaclty the same. They read off the brochure and do box/visor tests...done. No race track testing, nothing. Add some spice or personality maybe. Thank god we have these 2 guys on TH haha
That interior is a home-run. And considering that many people's "I'm getting it" switch gets flipped when they sit in a car in the showroom, this sell like hotcakes.
Piano black and silver chrome interior should never be used in any cars Not only it looks disgusting but it also blinds you when the sunlight reflects on it
Boys, one of the major selling points with the Genesis brand is the included servicing and conceirge service that was lost on most at the start of the review. Great review 👍🏼 does the engine do cylinder deactivation?
This thing is good looking but I gained a ton of new respect for my X3 M40i last winter. It was totally happy plowing through a foot of unplowed snow with randomly compacted spots. Put it in traction and sport and it was happy tossing the weight around to keep momentum. It was on all-seasons as well. I wonder how this guy would compare on the limits of traction.
i just order a GV70 3.5T Sport AWD 2022 today after watching this video .. to replace my sentra 2014 .. the ehxhaust sound is bad but the full black one with all red interior its perfect
The shift by wire for 8 speed transmissions always makes for a timid launch. You have to exclusively use the paddles to shift on higher revs And then the 0-60 times get smaller.
I have a GV80 the lights are great. Plus the Highbeams are phenomenal. There is a slight v-shaped "hazy" dark spot where the left and right lights meet on the non highbeams. I think that could be a quick headlight adjustment though.
@@Brian-jv8iy Don't get me wrong im sure there are better lights out there. All in all they work great comparing to entry/mid level luxury. Better than other vehicles I have had such as a toyota, honda and audi.
I BOUGHT A GV70 AND THIS REVIEW VIDEO HELPED ME I TEST DROVE LEXUS NX350, BMW X3, AUDI Q5, GENESIS GAVE MOST VALUE FOR THE BEST PRICE I GOT IT FOR MSRP AT SOUTH BAY GENESIS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR 51K 2.5 ADVANCED PACKAGE
The most controversial part of the GV70 is going to be the rear exhaust and all that fake mesh vent in between. Hyundai/Genesis imbued so much elegance inside and out, but just missed the ball there. Love the rest of the vehicle though. I'm sure they'll sell a boatload of 'em.
The coolest thing about this channel is that I feel like I am just hanging out with my old friends and talk about cars with them when I watch these videos

Hell, it takes the average driver close to freakin' 30 seconds or more just to get to 45 MPH from a stop at a traffic light.
The exterior and the interior looks gorgeous good job Genesis
Craziest thing about this is that Genesis is fighting the legendary Merc and BMW in a way that Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Mazda, Jaguar, Cadilac, Linclon, Audi, Range Rover, and Buick can not.
Jaguar is fighting just losing loln
Lincoln is not bad you know.
This has already ended Lexus and infiniti so there’s that
@@naveenthemachine It also ended Jaguar and Land Rover!
@@dinohermann1887 well that yeah I’m not surprised. Their supercharged engines are great and their transmissions they use. But the rest of it yeah I agree
The whole Genesis lineup actually gets me excited, while other brands have gone dull, each of their cars are exciting for me design wise, both inside and out. More brands should take notes....
As a Lexus driver, I believe my next car will be a Genesis.
Given Lexus is beginning to slip down the same sportiness over comfort hole the Germans are; you would likely feel more at home in a genesis than what Lexus will be selling at the time.
@@anasevi9456 I would definitely wait for their new "refreshes" to come and see what the ES, RX and LS will become, given what they did to the NX. but yeah the genesis gv70 is just such a masterpiece, imo.
The difference between two brands is just so huge trust me
Go to MB Audi or BMW. They are miles ahead .
@@duncanidaho7494 AMG, M, or RS are miles ahead. The rest have gotten worse and cheaper. The two shouldn't be confused.
This SUV 🤩 is gorgeous, stunning interior, good work Genesis.
Damn I love Genesis. I feel that today, only Koreans are designing cars that appeal to the petrolheads aesthetically.
Tested this car and others. Nothing even come close. Stunning inside out. Drives amazing
Probably one of the only small premium crossovers that has a decent value proposition. BMWs and Mercedes have their place, but they are designed to be ridiculously expensive, this is a good in between. Not to mention that six is sure to be an perfect balance of comfort and performance.
I’m loving everything that Genesis is doing so far…
"...and quite a lot of messing around."
James: **bonk**
yes I watch the intro too
Gets me every time 😂
Very original buddy
Never gets old
I know that everyone has opinions on this being just a Hyndai or that Genesis is out of its league but this GV70 is by far the best looking vehicle in this class. It blows the X3, Q5, GLC, anything out of the water in terms of interior and exterior looks. And I'm 100% willing to lose 1 second 0-60 for the looks of this car.
Nobody is saying that these days
As someone who’s has been eyeing the g70 and normally wouldn’t consider himself a suv person, I want to get this car. Both the interior and exterior look amazing.
First of all....love your channel. Second, thanks for doing the review. I'm six months into my decked out GV70. I drove five hours to get exactly what I wanted in Silver/Aquamarine blue. I traded up from a '19 G70 3.3T dynamic (too tall for it). Genesis definitely hit a home run with the GV70. I agree with the turbo lag and it could have just a bit better gas mileage. But a phenomenal SUV that looks better than a Macan for much less money. The biggest challenge for Genesis is brand recognition. Last year, they sold 1/20th of what Tesla did because Tesla has a cult following. Nobody knows Genesis after six years as a separate brand. Those that have heard of it still think it's that big sedan made by Hyundai. Their best publicity, unfortunately, is Tiger Woods rolling down a cliff in one.
Precisely my current circumstance! I have a Siberian Ice colored '19 G70 3.3T. I need easier access and more room for the golf gear/pushcart. GV70 is spot on, and the interior/hushed drive will do the trick! How's the vehicle thus far? Any regrets?
@@nicholascomaromi3881 turbo lag could be better as could fuel economy but otherwise it has been great. I get a lot of questions / comments about it.
In Korean, 'Beauty of white space' means something like minimalism
Even in English I sort of guessed it
Apple / tesla
Based on your review and few others I bought my 2023 gv 70 in a sport prestige, and it's a beautiful vehicle inside and out. I just came back from a 5k miles trip and have nothing but good things to say. And their valet services are super handy as well.
James hitting his head on the i8’s window will never get old 😭
Thankfully, it was his crash helmet.
It might not be perfect but you can’t deny that this brand is going places !!! I can’t wait to see how far they go in the future !
White space is basically having simplicity/lack of noise and using it to benefit your design and layout. It's something really important in newspapers and apparently car design which is cool to me
I think they nailed the aesthetics on their current lineup both for the interior and exterior. Really impressed with them.
This is so uniquely and boldly styled...do I want to trade in my Stinger for one?? That red interior is a MUST have!
I just got the GV70 Sport Plus and I love it............if you want fuel economy keep it in ECO mode!! This is my fourth Genesis and the brand just keeps improving! Great reviews guys........I have the 3d cluster and it's awesome.
The sport steering wheel is a must-have.
I actually quite like the two-spoke! It's a bit nostalgic, even
Indeed!
I ended up getting this. I think there was something wrong with the unit you had. It does 0-60 in 4.9s and that seems to be what pretty much most other reviewers have seen too. Otherwise great review. I paid the extra for the sport prestige, and am very happy with that decision.
It looks fantastic! (inside and out)
Took possession of my 2.5 turbo. Love it. It’s a spectacular daily beyond belief
I saw the photo and thought “OMG IT’S THE SHOOTING BRAKE GENESIS” and then realized it’s the SUV.
Still amazing how far Hyundai has come.
We're not getting the Shooting Brake here in North America. It's for Europe only
Yeah, that shooting break, is the first car that has made me gasp in a long time. Simply, beautiful.
It’s not a Hyundai. It’s a Genesis lol
@@antoinewilliams129 It's still a Hyundai. The infotainment is a slightly reskinned version of the regular Hyundai infotainment system you would find in the limited trim, and you still get the 10yr warranty
@@-SP. so I guess you can call an Audi a VW? Lots of similar design and build between those two as well. Genesis has already branched off. Not much to do with Hyundai besides a some parts to save money.
I think this makes much more sense than one of the German brands. I’m not buying an suv for a sporty driving experience so I don’t care how fast it is. Give me comfort, safety and an enjoyable driving experience. Then utility. I like their customer service approach.
That exterior is on a next level. It's phenomenal!
I used to watch a ton of car reviews, but now it's just these guys and Savage Geese. They're the best. I watch every video. Good job guys!
they remind me of what Infiniti was in the early 2000s. when they brought out the fx and g coupe/sedan. something radical to compete with the Germans
I‘d rather have a 3,5L turbo that is a second slower to 100kph than a BMW 3,0 turbo but doesnt break down as soon as the warranty is over lol.
Florida law firm launches class-action suit against the Genesis GV80
The lawsuit alleges the luxury SUV has "dangerous defects" in its steering
A Florida law firm specializing in consumer advocacy has filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Hyundai, claiming that the Genesis GV80 sport-utility is unsafe.
Corwin Law, based in Boca Raton, filed the lawsuit on behalf of owners and lessees of the GV80, which launched as an all-new model for 2021. The lawsuit claims the automaker is “promoting the GV80 luxury SUV, despite being aware of dangerous defects affecting the vehicle’s driveability that are documented in Korean news media and current customer message boards.”
bmw’s inline 6 is very reliable
@@kristians2704 *were
@@alpenjodel24 they still are, even Toyota uses them for the Supra
Even if it does break down, that’s in freaking 2032, we’ll have flying cars by then, right?
I love love love! The simple yet super classy and classic look of the interior. Sometimes less is more.
Agreeed
They give you everything that you'd need. Tesla needs to take notes.
This thing is incredible. As soon as I can afford one I’m getting a top of the line fully loaded model with a white exterior and that STUNNING red interior. A truly 10/10 automobile.
Why do car reviewers always worry about how fast an suv is? It's an suv that goes 0-60 in under 6 seconds, that's plenty fast enough. Nobody buys an suv wanting to race it.
Is it comfortable, fit a couple kids in the back and does it have good tech? That's what people who buy these will care about
You can fit 5 people over 6 foot comfortably and carry a moderate amount of stuff, except for the person sitting in the middle seat. Tech is the best among competitors and the most luxurious
That's what im talking about 💯
Not because people want to go racing with an SUV, it’s because of how it drives and how the drivers’ are going to feel driving it. No, it doesn’t need to have tons of power, but it needs to be confident wherever you go. Especially in countries like Korea where there are just hills everywhere.
It’s stupid to buy a car just for it’s 0-100 speed, but it can be used to pick a better car for your enviroment.
@@recoverymail269 that’s why this car has multiple engine options, a powerful one like the one in the video and a more mainstream one as standard
Nahhhhh I bought my X5 2021 45e because it could go fast andddddd do off road things and fit lots of stuff and people. The idea with suvs like this is for the price it should do it all. Otherwise I’d have bought a palisade or a telluride cus they are amazing vehicles just not sporty at all whether on road or off, that’s why. When you buy a 70k spot utility vehicle, you want it to do all the things.
Great, balanced, and fair review, and entertaining as usual. You guys have great chemistry and just the right degree of comedy without compromising the standard of review.. you're like a more likeable version of Top Gear (they just got too cynical and obvious in the end).
Pretty exciting to see Genesis make it to europe this year. I'm thinking about buying the G70 Shooting brake if the price is right.
Sooooo jealous that we don’t get the shooting brake here in the US! I wish we liked wagons here 😭
I heard they wont offer the 3.5T in Europe.. hopefully some bad information
They won’t make it. Lexus is really behind Audi MB and Bmw in terms of sales. I cannot see how this horrendous Hyundai brand will take over Lexus.
@@duncanidaho7494 Lexus is pretty expensive and Toyota is not very popular here in Germany though. There's barely any dealerships, I got one about 30km away from my home. Hyundai is extremely popular and there's dealerships everywhere, if they sell genesis in Hyundai dealerships instead of new genesis ones, that's a big benefit. And from what I've seen the g80 seems to be very competitively priced and I expect the g70 to be way cheaper than the 3 series also.
Probably won't be a big hot, but I can see the brand succeed here.
@@cy9nvs I highly doubt, especially if you live in Germany, you have more interest in getting a german car. Plus, I doubt Genesis will be able to make it that cheaper compared to the local market. We will have to see about that, but don't get your hopes up. I will definitely go with a german car since you live there. (cheaper parts and maintenance and initial price)
That’s gorgeous. The interior design and colors, just everything about it. It’s wonderful
@@pinnd.bythrottlehouse5430 shut up
Last time I was this early, James needed a "get-in" helmet😂
I feel like genesis actually listens to what people want and pay attention to what people don’t like about other luxury brands to make their own fantastic vehicles.
The future is now. This contemporary driving. The crossover has taken over the market. I can say that this is the successor to the Infiniti FX35 - sporty crossover using a rear-wheel drive platform.
Now that all auto journalists have to wait to release video footage of new cars, they all come out on the same day. This channel has the funnest and most enjoyable content by far! Keep up the great work you two and your team.
As per the GV70 itself. I don't understand why people would want to buy an SUV and expect it to be fun to drive. For those who actually NEED the practicality of an SUV, fun to drive isn't really something on their mind because they can't drive enthusiastically if they're actually hauling people and cargo around anyhow. I guess this fits the bill for people who don't actually need SUV but just want it because...GOTTA HAVE SUV!!11!ONE!!
Your comments about Genesis I think are analogous to this channel. You guys are making such high quality car content that's simultaneously genuinely entertaining. I laughed out loud like 3 times already and I'm not even finished watching the video.
What a difference from a fatter, sweatier Thomas zipping around a track in a BMW he had ripped everything out of.
Well done boys lol.
It has 300 hp i think that's more than enough, coupled with ride quality and interiors this is a winner! Best in the segment for sure hands down!
I’m super impressed with Genesis 👌👏
These are THE best looking SUV/CUV's period.
I maybe waaaay out of touch, but sub 6s for 0-60 is darn fast for me. I'm not going to be racing between traffic lights. I'm all about reliability and reliability and tech.
Exactly, particularly if you plan on keeping the past its warranty.
esp for suv
I'm here after the Lew Later interview with the straight pipes and the "supposed" beef. I must say keep up the great work on the channels success. Definitely my favorite car review channel
Absolutely love the GV70 2.5 GV70 300HP sadly we won't get the 3.5 engine yet (saying it as a german)
The price is awesome for what you get
A BMW X3 (xDrive 30d 286HP dont mention the m40i 360HP still need 15k-20k for the same setup) with the same setup and engine is like 80k+ € in germany while this masterpiece will be at 54k € full stacked for 2.5 version
Can't wait for the release next month to order one
Imo this is one of the most gorgeous suvs to have come out, the rear end, front and even side is all spot on. Love these so much
When I seen this at the Hyundai dealership in that beautiful red. I completely forgot about range rover 😅. Definitely think this will pull me into the SUV trend train.
I'm not an SUV guy, but I just saw one of these today in person and the only thing I can think to say is those wheels are REALLY distracting. The car has such great lines. It's nice to look at.
I can only think it would look even better by eliminating that geometric pattern on the wheels and the rear diffuser area.
The intro skits are top tier. You guys never fail
Throttle House = New Top Gear.
Just imagine if these guys had their own TV show😍😍
*So excited for this review. This is the car I’m considering. Thank you!*
This car is a perfect blend of luxury and performance...My order is placed and now the 6month wait for the 3.5T V6.
As for 0-100km/h...other TH-cam reviews have recorded 4.98sec, and low 5's.
I work at Genesis of Southwest Houston here in Houston, TX. and the GV70 is such an amazing SUV/CUV! They are hard to keep on the lot! Especially with this chip shortage
We are trying to get one at sticker in Houston but everyone wants to mark it up 5-10k. Crazy.
@@ericwheatley8897 yeah we don’t do that. It’s called the “Market Adjustment” we only charge $1495 for the product we actually apply to our vehicles. Not a dime more
The way he says “and I’m James!!” like an excited 8-year-old makes me smile every time.
After owning 9 Mercedes models I have made the switch to Genesis. A GV80 Prestige for her, and a GV70 3.5T Sport for me. We couldn't be happier. In fact we got out of a GLS for the GV80 and it is just that much more comfortable for way less money. When you drive the Genesis, it just feels different. They don't have the punch of an AMG but they feel refined like the Mercedes should be but are not because they have compromised comfort for sport. I am honestly hard pressed to find something I don't like about either one of these vehicles.
This thing looks absolutely incredible. I didn’t quite fancy the other new Genesis models so far but this is spot on.
It's alot smaller than it looks in pictures.... THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!
Now you can carry a keychain of individual fingers to start the car. Sweet!
After watching your review after watching the Straightpipes review I realize how much more entertaining you guys are...Bigup
Crazy part was...I use to prefer the SP. Then they converted me.
@@salmonars yup, every straightpipes video is exaclty the same. They read off the brochure and do box/visor tests...done. No race track testing, nothing. Add some spice or personality maybe. Thank god we have these 2 guys on TH haha
@@ilopancharov Agreed. The SP content is very stale now. While Throttle house is always entertaining with each upload.
The SP is so boring and predictable these days.
I don't watch this for the cars :)
I agree with the conclusion. For most people this is a great comfortable car. That V6 engine is the working horse for many Hyundai/Genesis/KIA models!
Love the interior & she has a nice rear end.
That interior is a home-run. And considering that many people's "I'm getting it" switch gets flipped when they sit in a car in the showroom, this sell like hotcakes.
I'd buy a GV70 purely because they use less piano black plastic inside
Piano black and silver chrome interior should never be used in any cars
Not only it looks disgusting but it also blinds you when the sunlight reflects on it
That's one of the reasons I cancelled my new Tuscon order for the GV70
Boys, one of the major selling points with the Genesis brand is the included servicing and conceirge service that was lost on most at the start of the review. Great review 👍🏼 does the engine do cylinder deactivation?
"White space" tends to refer to where there isn't anything... Such as the arrow in the FedEx logo
Reviews here look and feel natural and not scripted. Ever since I moved on from #StraightPipes to #ThrottleHouse, I've never looked back.
This thing is good looking but I gained a ton of new respect for my X3 M40i last winter. It was totally happy plowing through a foot of unplowed snow with randomly compacted spots. Put it in traction and sport and it was happy tossing the weight around to keep momentum. It was on all-seasons as well. I wonder how this guy would compare on the limits of traction.
i just order a GV70 3.5T Sport AWD 2022 today after watching this video .. to replace my sentra 2014 .. the ehxhaust sound is bad but the full black one with all red interior its perfect
The shift by wire for 8 speed transmissions always makes for a timid launch. You have to exclusively use the paddles to shift on higher revs And then the 0-60 times get smaller.
Intro deserves a like all on its own
Do you ever drive the cars at night to see how good the lights are?
I have a GV80 the lights are great. Plus the Highbeams are phenomenal. There is a slight v-shaped "hazy" dark spot where the left and right lights meet on the non highbeams. I think that could be a quick headlight adjustment though.
@@Brian-jv8iy Don't get me wrong im sure there are better lights out there. All in all they work great comparing to entry/mid level luxury. Better than other vehicles I have had such as a toyota, honda and audi.
That was a particularly cheeky, “And I’m James!”
I want one Now. Just elegant n classy. A great review🙏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿
"and I'm James!!!!!" gets me every time. Love this channel so much.
That perfect harmony on the "Um" at 9:54 👀
I BOUGHT A GV70 AND THIS REVIEW VIDEO HELPED ME
I TEST DROVE LEXUS NX350, BMW X3, AUDI Q5,
GENESIS GAVE MOST VALUE FOR THE BEST PRICE I GOT IT FOR MSRP AT SOUTH BAY GENESIS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR 51K 2.5 ADVANCED PACKAGE
Finally! Was waiting on GV70 review! Good objective review! I like.
Is it fair to compare the GV70 against the Porsche 2022 Macan ? Which is better value for the $$$ buyers pay for ?
The most controversial part of the GV70 is going to be the rear exhaust and all that fake mesh vent in between. Hyundai/Genesis imbued so much elegance inside and out, but just missed the ball there. Love the rest of the vehicle though. I'm sure they'll sell a boatload of 'em.
All of them pieces of junk
Should have just made it oval like the rest of the design, and a tad smaller also. Looks like one of those ricer Honda guys exhaust.
@@ghq8982 Your mom
I agree. It looksso tacky. They should've carried the interior detail to the rear.
@@ghq8982 elaborate?
