Matt, been watching you since the BRZ. I will like every one of your damn videos till you get your car back, or maybe one you want more! You rock man and never stop doing what you love.
@@MattMaranMotoringHave you considered getting a Stinger/G70 as an affordable "sports" car? Curious if you were thinking of a replacement for the Mustang.
Great review. Have the 2.5T in Makula Grey. Great car. Genesis puts some really great touches in these cars. I really like the passenger seat controls easily accessible by the driver. I don’t think any other car has that. Yes the back is tight. Too bad Genesis never made this into a coupe!
Not sure how Matt manages to keep a running spreadsheet in his head of the features and price points of each vehicle and its competitors. Very impressive!
That weight definitely plays a big role in why the acceleration seemed pretty underwhelming. I got to agree Matt I miss the Stinger GT to! Great review as always.
I really LOVE this car and it would be my pick in this class. But I would have to get the top model. The seats are so much better and the full digital cluster is nice to have. It's a great deal too, no matter which one you choose.
It was very interesting that the acceleration wasn't a bit quicker, but I guess it makes sense because of the curb weight of the vehicle and the moderate transmission. I'm curious what would happen if that engine was paired with a more aggressive transmission and a lighter vehicle. 😁 Thanks for this great review! 👍
Thanks for watching! One vehicle that kind of fits your hypothetical would be the Sonata N-Line, with the 2.5T paired up there to the 8 speed DCT and those are a little lighter than this I think. Here's that video if you haven't seen it and are curious: th-cam.com/video/B5Bp80Pdihk/w-d-xo.html
@@MattMaranMotoring Awesome!! I forgot about that one! I checked out the video (thanks so much for the link) and wow! What a difference! So cool to be able to see that engine unleashed in a lighter package with a sportier transmission! Very cool! 😎👍👍 Thanks again!
I have the '24 Sonata N-Line with the 2.5T and DCT transmission. Matt is correct. I have clocked 0-60 at 5.1. The DCT is a BEAST at high RPMs and pulls right to the limit. This car puts a smile on my face every day...and for $ 12K less than the Genesis.
Thank you for the review. The G70 seems like one of the best priced sedans right now in terms of features and power for your money. If my area got a dedicated Genesis Dealer (I live in Butler county, Wexford Genesis really is just a Hyundai dealer unfortunately) I'd consider them. Until then, I'm aiming for a TLX.
Matt, I had one of these as a rental only a couple of weeks ago. I've got to say, I disagree on the "big naturally-aspirated" feel. If I'm cruising on the highway and need to make a pass, there's almost two seconds of turbo lag before the boost really comes on. It was kinda surprising to be honest - my wife's BMW X3 with the B48 has noticeably less turbo lag, and the big nautrally aspirated engine in my IS 500 feels completely different to this, of course. I really like the G70. I just love the way the cabin is laid out and how weighty all the inputs feel. It's something I'd consider - with the V6.
You guys really don’t mind the front end on this? To me this grill is just a failed attempt to come up with something new and not a copy of one of the german competitors. Genesis needs to do something about the design of their vehicles. But it’s just my opinion. Great video Matt!
Matt, the CT4 Premium Luxury has the available 2.7 T. Would you still take this G70 or the Caddy? Yes i know the Caddy is a tweener and technically goes against the A3/S3, but it's basically the same size as this Genesis so i had to ask.
Hmmm, that’s tough. I’ve only ever driven the V and Blackwing versions so it’s hard for me to say how a regular CT4 with the 2.7 would handle. But based on the V, it certainly handles better than the G70 in my opinion.
@@MattMaranMotoring thanks for the feedback. I guess I'd have to verify if the non V also has magna ride suspension available, if so I would personally go for the Caddy
I will have a hybrid review posting in September but I don't have any info on if/when I'll get a chance to review the N Line, but hopefully I'll be able to review one eventually.
I am a Lexus fan at heart, I currently own a Lexus ES, and have always loved the brand but for my next car I am strongly considering the G70 over an IS350, the value proposition is just insane especially on the used market, I can get a 2022 G70 with about 30k miles for about 30grand compared to a 2022 IS350 F-sport which still stickers for about 40 grand. The IS holds its value much better and will definitely be more reliable but the extra power and more updated interior of the G70 is swaying me.
This has a performance WET DUAL CLUTCH (DCT) transmission. At the track with good conditions and a decent launch they are closer to 5 seconds flat 0-60.
If you’re not used to my videos, the road noise may be higher than other videos. I use a camera mounted mic to pick up all the engine and cabin sounds better than the average lapel mic that most others use.
That'll come down to your expectations of what is "quiet enough" and what you're used to but in my opinion the road noise is average for a luxury sport sedan, which means fairly quiet, better than a non-luxury car for sure.
Alittle late to the game on this one. The 2025 models are already out and 2024s are going away... But it doesn't really matter because the 2024 G70s were barley on lots for 6 months before they re-labled them as 2025. So this video also serves as a review for the 2025 year model 😂😂. There is literally not a single thing that is different between the 2024 and 2025 year models. Really odd move by Genesis to label their 2024 model as 2025 despite not even being out a full year.
Deal breaker with this car is the rear seats. They are laughably small. Makes no sense that they are as small as they are for the overall size of this car. There is also the rather big growing pains that a lot of Hyundai/Kia products have had recently. They all claim to have a 10 year warranty, but search around and you will see a warranty is only good if the company behind it is willing to honor it. Genesis, as much as they want to go upscale, still is part of Hyundai and with that comes some of those bad business practices. I really love the looks of this car and it looks great with a tan interior, but between those tiny rear seats and questionable reliability, it's a no-sale for me.
First of all, I've never heard Matt complaining about his decline in views. He simply states the facts that his views are down, which affects his income. Secondly, if "not so popular and weird" is your argument for lack of views, you've obviously never seen a Doug Demuro video. Thirdly, Genesis is a well known and fairly popular brand, and the G70 seems like a pretty normal car, if you watched the video.
You’ve picked a weird point in time to complain about this when I’ve been doing popular cars nonstop recently. Corvette, WRX, Elantra N, GR86, Mustang, etc.
@MattMaranMotoring No complaining at all, just pointing out my honest opinion. I have been here from the BRZ days, and trust me, I wish you all the best.

Thank you, I really appreciate that and all your years of support!
First!! Also rip stinger ik this is the same platform but dang...that stinger looked so good
Yeah I'm sad Stinger is gone too :(
@@MattMaranMotoringHave you considered getting a Stinger/G70 as an affordable "sports" car? Curious if you were thinking of a replacement for the Mustang.
Yes I miss the stinger and I still see them around
I missed the kia stinger
@w1ndw4ker95 if I needed a car again they’re on my list of potential cars, but I’m gonna see how long I can go without a car first.
Matt does a great job talking about the cars and SUVs that he does online. Hope he gets more support from other people.
Thanks!
Love your reviews. Keep them coming!!!
Thanks! Will do!
We test drove one of these before buying the Elantra N. It was a nice ride.
Buddy of mine, i used to sell cars with got a g70 2.0 and loves it. Says its more than comfortable for his needs
That’s great to hear!
Nice review, overlooked car for sure. I hope Beth and the kiddo are doing well Matt!
Thanks Greg! We’re doing well, I hope you’ve been well too!
@@MattMaranMotoring Not bad, I wish I was young like you :-)

Thanks for sharing your ownership experience and I'm glad you're enjoying yours!
Been waiting for you to review this one
Those wheels are so unique . Great review !!
Thanks!
The Genesis G70 is one my favorite car
Not sure how Matt manages to keep a running spreadsheet in his head of the features and price points of each vehicle and its competitors. Very impressive!
Hes only been doing this for 20 years. He's used to it lol
That restyle is so handsome. The headlights are nuts and I actually like the factory wheels.
That weight definitely plays a big role in why the acceleration seemed pretty underwhelming. I got to agree Matt I miss the Stinger GT to! Great review as always.
Thanks Blaze!
Yes of course Matt & I buy this as my first car.
I really LOVE this car and it would be my pick in this class. But I would have to get the top model. The seats are so much better and the full digital cluster is nice to have. It's a great deal too, no matter which one you choose.
Keep up the great work especially the weekly updates! Your channel deserves to be in the million subs mark.
Thank you!
I love the looks of the G70, especially in that blue
Very nice and gentlemanly looking car I'd say
Excellent video Matt.

I own one I. Traded my 2020 stinger for it and it gets about 20.5 mpg around town. Very good drive and I love it.
@@deangundlach-t4b why did you let go of the stinger?
The wheel gap on this thing could fit my whole head haha! Other than that love the G70s. Great review as always, Matt!
Yeahh unfortunately it's pretty gappy huh. I'd look into lowering springs ASAP
Very nice looking vehicle and a pretty good option.
Great Review 👍
Did everyone notice that at the beginning, Matt's clothes match the car color?
Color matched shirts are an additional upcharge
Simp
Every time I watch his videos, I have to tell myself that they aren't sped up.
Still going used Stinger over this mainly because of space but still a great looking car.

If they don't come out with an electric G70 in a few years, I would get a used one of these.
Hey Matt are you going to do a review on the new 2024 Hyundai sonata n line?
I will have a hybrid review posting in September but I don't have any info on if/when I'll get a chance to review the N Line, but hopefully I'll be able to review one eventually.

The price is insane now.
Need the 6 cylinder.
Aside from the fake exhaust tips it’s my favorite exterior in the class
If they added a hybrid like BMW does with the 330i xDrive I would be interested.
How would you compare this to the BMW 330I?
faster and cheaper
I discuss how it compares to the 330i in this video.
Hey Matt by any chance will you also review the new 2024 ford ranger please? 🙏
I’m hoping to review it in a couple months!
@@MattMaranMotoring thank you 😁
The Audi A4 would still the best option for me but it needs a major refresh and it is harder and harder to justifying buying it.
Really?! Personally, noo way man
I really like that blue on the car. I find it odd the tures are different sizes unless I'm taking it to the track it's going a square fit slye
This has a performance WET DUAL CLUTCH (DCT) transmission. At the track with good conditions and a decent launch they are closer to 5 seconds flat 0-60.
No it has a regular torque converter automatic. The DCT isn’t used at Genesis.
Lol how are you gonna comment false information dude? The Internet is free.
@@MattMaranMotoring isn't the transmission code A8LR1? That's a clutch driven automatic.
@@porfiriato84 and a quick google search literally says, yes, g70 uses a DCT lol.
Are you mentally ill bro? It's a conventional 8 speed. NOT DCT doofus. You must be confusing it with the elantra N lmao
Even the 2023 elantra has wireless android!
Is it how the mic is set up, or does this sound like it has very loud road noise?
If you’re not used to my videos, the road noise may be higher than other videos. I use a camera mounted mic to pick up all the engine and cabin sounds better than the average lapel mic that most others use.
@@MattMaranMotoring Thank you. Still quiet enough for a road trip?
That'll come down to your expectations of what is "quiet enough" and what you're used to but in my opinion the road noise is average for a luxury sport sedan, which means fairly quiet, better than a non-luxury car for sure.
@@MattMaranMotoring Thank you
I wish the far more usable Stinger would have stayed and they killed off the G70
But then they wouldn't be able to justify the premium over the Stinger for what was the same car. Profit margins are a thing
Alittle late to the game on this one. The 2025 models are already out and 2024s are going away...

Good job, Matt. 3700 lbs is unfortunate and 50 grand for 300 hp is questionable value
I wanna covet this car. Can someone buy it for me
I still like the original. Never really liked this refreshed model.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
New climate control screen is a FAIL. I WANT BUTTONS!! B U T T O N S!!!!!!

🙂👍
The wheels with the spoke bits are a disaster. Sometimes Hyundai makes weird design choices. The grille is a big heart shape that looks dumb.
Alfa Romeo Giulia 😎👍
Eh…for my money, I’d go with the TLX.
Eh.
Well, good review but it’s obvious you don’t like the car so you have to bump up another 10,000 for the larger motor
Huh? I loved this car and made that very clear in the video lol.
You can get a used for a good price.
3.3t is better but I still am unsure because it’s a genises
Here for the porn bots
Not as attractive as the first one.
Get a used rs3 instead of this, do yourself a favour.
Nah
Then he is complaining that he is not getting any views.. I mean, what do you expect with reviewing those not so popular and weird cars..

@@MattMaranMotoring I think he watched someone else's video... 🤷
What pathetic and ignorant comment, lol….thanks for the review, Matt. Keep em coming!
