That transition at 6:07 was nuts
To the shooters and editors, we notice the effort and appriciate it
That's what we get when they have more time to work on videos, and it is very much appreciated.
My thoughts exactly
You just know you made someone's day when you noticed that transition. That is someone taking pride in their work.
Liking and commenting so that the editor sees this
Nice to see more EVs adding 120V AC outlets. Big thing I wish my Model 3 had.
Same. The 5ish watt USB ports are such a bummer
dont they sell an adapater you can plug into your charging port?
I have a G80 now, and it's your fault. No regrets. Amazing car.
I'm sorry
Hell yeah brother!
Ioniq 6 here. Also his fault. Also no regrets.
lol
I drove one as a rental. Nice car but I wouldn't touch it for the price.
Alex needs to have his own LTT Car Review Channel
its coming they just dont want to launch a new channel till there confident in the new proccesses
I'd really enjoy seeing a behind the scenes of how LMG films the cars exterior while driving.
For those who don’t have Floatplane, what do they do?
Ok. This channel is getting better and better! Those transitions? My jaw dropped! Excellent work editor! And as always Alex is absolute blast! This is an absolute gem in the LMG portfolio.
What i want is a small efficient EV hatch, with enough room for kids or dogs or shopping or whatever, that i dont need to mortgage a country for
(edit - just to spell it out for the next American, no i dont expect Yank Tanks or the traditional Automakers to come to the rescue. India has some of the most progressive EV policies in the world, and will be needing millions of such vehicles in the next years, they are already selling more EVs than the US, they are selling more EVs than any other country but China)
Just a car that does car things
If you buy any foreign car you are doing exactly that. Mortgaging your country. Mind you, filling it with foreign oil does the same.
@@Mp57navy literal n@zi propaganda:
poster probably comes from the mid-1930’s. The caption: “Hitler is building. Help him. Buy German goods.”
poster is from the 1930’s, and encourages Germans to buy domestic rather than imported goods. The top translates as “Germans buy German goods.” The bottom text translates: “German Week/German Goods/German Labor.”
poster from around 1939 advertises the Volkswagen. The text: “Save 5 marks a week and you will drive your own car. “
1936 poster urges people to vote for Hitler by noting what he has done to promote automobile ownership in Germany. The caption: “The Führer promised to motorize Germany. In 1932, 104,000 motor vehicles were manufactured, 33,000 people were employed, and goods with a total value of 295,000,000 marks were produced. In 1935, 353,000 vehicles were manufactured, Over 100,000 people were employed, and the value of goods produced was 1,150,000,000 marks. The Führer gave 250,000 people’s comrades jobs in the auto industry and its suppliers. German people: Thank the Führer on 29 March! Give him your vote!”
@@Mp57navywell I don't care for where my money goes since we'll it all goes to China anyways
2025 VW Tiguan PHEV... I'll be purchasing as soon as it's available
genesis and hyundai have been killing it in the EV space. love to see it.
U mean Kia & Hyundai
genesis is just a premium line of cars by Hyundai lol much like Lexus and Toyota
@@TheShadowLink87 yes i know
u have no idea with the car industry. put Tesla aside, even chinese manufactures such as NIO bring much more up-to-date and much more capable EVs
@@user-nn4og1pf3p while i’m aware of BYD, Xpeng and Nio, they are still struggling to break into the European market while Genesis’s sales are up by 22%. Clearly Genesis is doing something right. I’m just a fan of Hyundais design bro. Their new N Vision 74 and their Ioniq 5 are gorgeous cars to me.
The one thing to keep in mind about the charging speed on the E-GMP vehicles, they sustain whatever power a charger is able to deliver for longer. I have an EV6 and I'm always astonished by how fast it charges on "slow" dc chargers. For example, the 150 kw chargers from EA. It will just sit there and charge between 150-170 (not sure why they go above 150kw) up until 80%. Mine never throttles down. Then...this is something that I think needs to be talked about more. It sustains high speed until 100%. Even at 97%, I was still able to get 50kw. Their e-gmp platform is just incredible.
im still driving my G80 electrified and love it to bits, things a dream, just like my four door sedans over suv esque, i didnt even know there was an electric gv70 yet
AMAZING JOB to whoever did the transition at 6:06
3:04 Well, I'll be using that to describe smudged infotainment spots in cars from now on. Lmao
Wish there were more non-suv electric cars on this channel.
I would wish that to but sadly especially in the US most EVs are SUVs
I wish there weren't so many SUVs in general. They're displacing the more interesting vehicles.
@@indigomizumi to be fair most people dont want interesting, they want what everyone else wants sadly
That's a hatchback not an SUV.
I wish there were more non-SUV electric cars period. Feels like everyone is making SUV sized ones because its easier to just jam it full of batteries. It also feels like nobody's trying to make efficient motors, leading to the need to increase power density.
84k that is insane!
Thx Alex, really love to hear your insights as a fellow car enthusiast!
Love the editing in this video!
bruh that sick transition when the car swiped to reveal the next shot, bet the guy that did it was really proud of it.
Thisnis one of the most fluid reviews you have ever done. Props. Your ev6 review seemed very biased for electric car of the year
I'm so annoyed that we've moved so far from practical features like physical controls (or any controls that work) that combined with a decent spec list they become the main selling points of a car 🙄
Love the reviews as always though!
Confusing handling for grip, grip is how fast you can go round a corner, handling is what happens when you exceed that grip
Impossible to test handling on a public road though
Maybe swap handling for ride?
These reviews are superb. Who would’ve thought this is LMG? Shows how versatile the company is.
Alex is natural at car reviews, no wonder he’s a petrolhead. The car channel is going to be perfect with Alex
Petrolhead? He’s driving an EV..
@@danielfichtner667petrolhead just means car nerd. And no car nerd is ignoring the EV market.
you know what i actually want? a cheap useable electric car. but a lot of buttons is good.
Yeah, I don’t get why manufacturers reinvent the car for an EV. Just swap the powertrain, improve areo and efficiency. adding touch controls and removing buttons just makes it Feel like a shitty knockoff Chinese tablet
Bolt EUV, or KONA if possible when it comes out, both were arguably the best cheap EV on the market, and I am sad for the loss of the EUV
Cool seeing Alex talking about the possible next trending for EVs: solid state batteries. Shows a bit of care for the technology he's reviewning, not just a "read the script". Congrats, guys!
Except it's a meme fake technology that's been "coming soon" for decades
solid state battery is still a "dream" , instead there's already the solution, Litium Iron Phosphate, more charge cycles, doesn't explode, needs less armor, so there's more batteries and range vs the current lipo solution in cars and bikes.
@@stevewang They are almost just as bad, especially when there are hundreds of them packed in a small space. However, they are a lot harder to get going though. Pretty much any high energy density battery will be due to the laws of physics! Thunderf00t has a good video about why.
@@linuxguy1199 lifepo4 doesn't have extra oxygen so it isn't self sustainable fire. It's a LOT BETTER, even compared to gasoline cars. packing too much is just the stupid engineering...a problem no technology can help. given they are less explosive, engineering a swap system is more possible, so less packing cars up with a ton of batteries, making less weight on shorter travels.. if they want. bikes especially, since a bunch of people already died from burning ebike repair shops.
also a better solution that works and solves a major issue now is still better than WAITING for something ideal to hopefully make it to production. The current lipo needs to be banned from cars and bikes.
@@stevewangI can't wait for ev battery technology to have been continuously evolved in refined for 80 years like gas engines have. But you know what would be better than anything you mentioned? Batteries that are actually renewable, and aren't made from rare earth minerals. That way we wouldn't have to worry about running out of the resources to make them.
I like the charging port on the front, best design idea
4:30 Somebody is a fellow city pop aficionado.
Smart old school/modern combo.
I really like all the options inside the car! But Idon't need all this power. Great video!
I would say the MG4 XPower, £36k, is the best sleeper on the market. 0-60 in 3.5s.
Minor critique, you put the freedom units on the screen for money but not for the distance. Please consider adding miles conversion as tag as well. TY.
I'm getting 270 miles on full charge!! Amazing experience owning this car!!
Paint color..well.. options needed!!
Finally, another owner! I can also easily get 270 in Eco mode with level 2 regen braking. But usually I just charge to 80% and use comfort drive setting.
I agree, the available colors are too limited and boring! The gas version has really cool colors ☹️
@mattd1201 how do u prepare battery for charging now that weather has become cold? I noticed it took time to do fast charging for a while before it sped up, now in cold weather
Really stepping up the production on these, nice work. Especially enjoyed some of the transitions.
Alex, per usual, is great too 👍🏻
6:08 has very nice editing!
Glad to see Alex is back with his EV reviews. He is in my opinion one of the best. Not bias, nor influenced. I'll take his video over any modern Top Gear. Speaking of, very nice camera work you have there. Very clear and stabilised. Kudos for the filming team.
Another electric car 99% of us will never be able to afford :(
I’ve had the V6 version of the GV70 for two years and love it. Matte grey too which looks great.
3:18 to me it looks more like semi capacitive buttons ( the capacitive part is like select and then push the whole button in to activate. So you have to actually push it so you can't accidentally push a button you didn't mean to witch I like )
If that kind of technology is really a thing, then damn I love that. At least I love the concept, I probably would hate it in practice.
As someone with the Ioniq 5 and in 6 months I clocked 29,000 km, with multiple roadtrips, I can safely say that great EVs are already here and we don't need solid state...
A couple of weeks ago we came back from a 9,000 km roadtrip from Vancouver to Denver, Colorado and back. No issues, at all, most times the car was waiting for us to come back from our bathroom/lunch breaks since we could go from 10% to 80% in ~18 minutes.
Also, the Ioniq 5 cost us less than the CX-5 that my father owns... All while saving us $425 per month on the price of gas, while cutting our emissions by 98.5%!
I have spreadsheets where I calculated all of this, lol
we just need to get a car review channel, alex as the main host. all in favor say I
4:31 who was listening to Midnight Pretenders?
idk why front look reminds me of Randall from Monsters Inc.
Seems like production quality is definitely improving and is great, but guys can you high pass filter the audio (80/90hz)? The rumble from the inside of a car is so loud.
Sun glass holder is where i keep my wired headsets In both cars. Both 2010 Hyundai (genesis bed cousin)
My zenphone 9 has 3.5
Looks like early model Caymans from behind, not a terrible thing
also my first impression.
Except bar two, Porsche have made the most boring looking cars for the last 50 yrs
B roll is great
tbh we need that dedicated car channel asapp cuz these rviews r amazing and his enthusiasm is top tier
No, remember the problem was making too many videos, keep them at the current pace.
Personally think that there should be a separate channel for car reviews, and upload ALOT more frequently.
This isnt even a review tho. Its missed so much of important info. Its more a Alex talks channel
They intend to create one, just hasn't gotten off the ground yet because of the recent controversy, clearly wouldn't be well received
@@RathOX it fulfilled the criteria for a short circuit, but I agree, I want longer, more in depth videos about car technology. Not the same riprap that every car reviewer does. I think it would be interesting to
@@Holt0216 100%
@@Holt0216remember how pretty much every single one of their problems stemmed from making too many videos at once? Careful what you wish for. All the way do agree that having more in-depth videos would be nice, as long as they keep it to that and don't actually make more videos, we'll be good.
Alex looks like the Tetris creator from the Tetris movie.
I’d love to hear about aftermarket infotainment
No wireless CarPlay or AA is insane. How do you launch a car without such a feature in a 2023?
Will you be reviewing the cybertruck when it comes out given how hyped up it's been?
The controls being very driver focused is not a issue for me, I prefer it that way. My car, my music, my temperature, don't like you can always walk.
I really don't understand cars. How are the lights not standardized? I've seen turn signals in all sorts of colors and shapes and locations... that isn't safe.
Welcome to America :P
But yeah, there are some really weird cars out there in the world...
As a used car, this might be doable. I could do completely without touch functions but considering where the market is, this is acceptable, if one tries hard enough to find it acceptable.
Would have been nice to have not only kilometers for the distance but miles on the screen too
Would be also good if weights were in kilograms so normal people who follow standard scientific units can understand. Don’t worry america you’ll get there one day!
@andrewbrown8463 Everything should be in both unit types so that everyone can understand at a glance without having to do some simple math
If the charging is this fast they should kinda enter 24 hr racing
fucking love alex car reviews.
The worst part about the gv70 is being at a 'genesis' dealership, which is really a hyundai dealership, which is probably really a chevy dealership that didn't make enough money.
I've complained about Alex's car reviews a bit in the past videos but this one is really good.
Wouldn't mind getting explanations to high speed rebound for the normies. Or at the speakers with the "phantom image", no idea what that is.
Very well done 🤝
Rebound is half of damping when the shock is extending. Really I was just talking about damping in general, which is the part of your suspension that stops the springs from just bouncing forever.
Low Speed Damping:
Smooth loads on the suspension like accelerating, braking, cresting a hill, or going over a large dip.
High Speed Damping:
When the suspension needs to move quickly, typically when you hit a bump.
Got the GV70 it has soft Low Speed Damping, for instance it really squats when you hit the gas and rolls into corners, but it also has stiff High Speed Damping, so bumps get transmitted into your butt.
Phantom Image is basically where you see the sound coming from when you close your eyes. With a really good sound system you'll hear the singer directly in the middle, with the instruments panned left to right each in a distinct location. If there is no phantom image the sound just sounds like it is coming directly from the speaker.
a real top G@@alexanderclark6889
thanks for the explanations :-) @@alexanderclark6889
6:07 forget Star wipe! Introducing Car wipe!
Some of the b roll test roads look really similar to what you see in throttle house. I'm American and don't know the terrain of southern Canada all that well, or the location of each channel's base of operations, but it's just a small observation.
Interesting, if you think so good of this car I wonder if you'll review the Volvo ex 30😊
One day I hope they try a Bose suspension on one of these heavy luxury electric cars.
Also like this car.Will prob never see it in the UK .
So I used to work for Hyundai/Genesis and basically every EV they make has the same issue, the ICCU will eventually over heat and start a fire or just kill the iccu. Pretty sure they are working on a recall for it tho
Hi, can you try Volvo EX30, the price to perfomance sound amazing
Best review yet Alex. Could be a little bit longer but that's probably going to have to wait for a dedicated car channel.
My car has wired android auto but there are wireless adapters available. After a week of going wireless, I've gone back to wired since AA + navigation destroys my battery.
I'd love to know if the cars you review have a USB port that can be natively used for putting your music on them. I don't want another subscription, and I've been using a USB key for all my music for well over a decade now...
And that's one of the things about the XC40 Recharge (which I've been considering in part because of your review) that you guys haven't mentioned - it needs a third-party app (BandWagon I believe?) to play music from a USB drive... because Google doesn't believe in natively supporting it in Android Automotive, apparently.
Otherwise, great content as usual. Shame about that range tho. :X
380km range is actually more than enough, if you drive fully charged from home, then it's about time for a toilett brake when it's out of juice anyway. And a toilet brake and a hot dog usually takes 10-20 minutes at the gas station anyway, so why just extend it a couple of more minutes until it's around 80%. then continue from there?
3:16 Why does the whole button move like that if it is a capacitive touch?
I like the color
Can you review Rivian?
Why is an effects manufacturer branding sound systems now? Do i need reverb in my car?
'a mom wagon w/500hp' exactly. also, tactile controls.
I really wish the gv70 would make a chime when the auto steer disengages.
Note about the audio: I watched this on my home theater and the rumble during the road test was obnoxious.
Who did the camera work there are way to many face shadows
Might have to work on some portable lightening
Just a heads up: edit/blur out the plates. Might get flagged otherwise. Great video. Well done.
These are loaner cars from a dealer in BC, not a personal vehicle.
Why no sony wf1000xm5 review/short circuit?
I own the genesis gv70 gas very and i have the same inerior and nebr have a problem with fingers making the area around the shifters really. that means your hands have be very dirty or oily to be having that problem.
North van traffic is inescapable. Thought I would be safe in this review but no, you had to bring it up 😂
Wait till he find out about MG4 XPOWER, now that’s a real sleeper for a mom car 👀
Imagine this companies made trains or buses.
Alex kinda sounds like a robot in some scenes when listening at 2x speed
Why is it that every car that has wireless charging is limited to wired android auto/apple carplay?
I had a 2022 Hyundai Elantra that had wireless phone connection, but only wired charging. I got a 2023 model one trim up for the same payments and I got wireless charging but lost the wireless connectivity I wanted. It's so frustrating
What's the Ice (?) version? Ain't it a single spec?
i don't know why you guys talk about the weight in imperial units and the range in metric units, make up your mind! other than that, i love your car reviews!
Name of song at 9:00 please
We need dbrand anti-fingerprint skins for cars.
Nghhhhh Knoooooobs, I honestly don't need a super fancy infotainment system. If I have my music and the navigation system is readable, I'm alright. No need to watch netflix in my car on the infotainment screen.
Its as fast as my 2015 wrx was 0-60
You can easily tell that they are from North America since they say that that trunk had a small amount of space. That is quite big for EU.
compared to other dedicated channels such as Fully Charged Show, ShortCircuit seems not to be up to the standard in terms of the EV review. Genesis is barely a mediocre, if not disappointing EV compared to Tesla and Nio
What's the actual advantage of android auto/carplay? Everyone always talks about it like it's a major selling point and my car has it but I honestly just prefer bluetooth, either way I'm just using it for music and I just have fewer issues playing straight through bluetooth
Very convenient for selecting music and displaying maps. Most manufacturer software sucks too so it’s nice to have a decent interface with CarPlay/android auto
Waiting on that GV80 Coupe...now that is sexy
The back of this car looks like Heisenbergs Pontiac Aztec
I can actually see that
Main channel staff!
Alex has longer hair that I imagined.
For the rest of the world, can you please tell us what the power output of the vehicle is in kilowatts as well? Makes even more sense to use that unit of measurement in the EV world.
finger what? didn't quite catch that one :-p
