I’ve tested pretty much all the competitors and ended up buying the G70. Price point, performance, service and value made the difference for me. Should arrive in 2 weeks.
Same, got my G70 delivered 2 weeks ago. The stock handling in this car is phenomenal and the "drift" mode is real, heck even in comfort mode I'm able to drift it while knowing exactly what the car is doing, it brings a huge smile to my face, every time. :)
@@wdanda did you go RWD or AWD? I like the sportiness of rear, but live in an all season state. What do you think having driven / owned the car? Thanks and grats on the new car!
This is a thing of a beauty, and the origin from South Korea makes it even more unique, not gonna lie I actually prefer Genesis over some of the German and even Japanese brands. Well done Hyundai, Kia and Genesis, you're really catching my attention.
@@FullMoon91 I’ve seen people buying and driving them around where I live. Granted, there’s been only a few, but ppl are still buying them. Which if they’re buying them, that means they’re choosing them over the other luxury brands, including Lexus. They’re most likely not going to outsell Lexus tho lol
I own a 22 G70 Seville silver 3.3t RWD. It's amazing... Everything is so sharp. The transmission is a dream. The "sports+" is a real SPORTS MODE. The Brand doesn't have to worry about cannibalization. The G70 kicks ass. Think M2 v M3.... Genesis puts all the goods in this one chassis. It's amazing.
I was thinking the exact same thing Layne. I’m a big fan of all these new genesis cars and SUVs, but this is nowhere close to an M2 or M3. Still a very good car though, especially for the money.
@@layne4376 he didn't compare the Genesis G70 to those cars directly. He was dismissing concerns of cannibalization within the brand. In our words, the M2 and M3 can both coexist in the same way the G70 and G80 can (I am only guessing on the second car in the Genesis line he's referring to).
@@wdanda sorry the car I had was a 2015 Q40 it’s basically the G37…. I almost traded in my Q40 for a Q50 but the stinger was WAYYYYY better in every way
For $38 grand? I'm in love. Look amazing. And no offense, I admire Kia, but genesis knows how to ace interior. The infotainment is just amazing. Only Tesla can match it, for it's frame rate. And just an angelic body, especially the grill.
It's because Genesis is actually their REAL Luxury brand. KIA and Hyundai are more the day to day normal driving cars, while yes the Stinger was labeled as a Luxury type car, but it was never meant to be a full on Luxury car. Genesis pure focus is Luxury, while they share the same platform, they will always overall have much better interior as that's their main selling point.
The G70 needs the full 3D gauge cluster! I noticed the same thing about the front wheel well liners. Not sure why half is carpet and half is plastic. I think it's the same for the Kia Stinger I believe.
No it doesn't, not until the 3D cluster is refined, right now I dislike the GV70's full 3D cluster, it needs work and honestly it's such a niche complaint...I see it all too much and I believe it's because Mercedes went too far with interior lighting BUT implementing full digital clusters better. Still, Mercedes interiors still feel cheep even in 2022, it's a tit for tat, but in the end I respect the cluster design in this car, half physical, the other not to implement turn signal cameras.
Fantastic review as always, especially that intro! I'm in the market for a new car, and honestly, I'm torn between the G70 Sport Prestige AWD, and the Cadillac CT5 V AWD. As a daily driver, which would you recommend? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I only want the driver door to open with keyless entry. Too easy for somebody to jump into the car while I'm standing next to it. Great review! And great car!
@@user-sx7hf3kr4z I don't know, if they were hiding behind the car on the other side or something or you're pumping gas and looking the other way. I know I'm probably being overly paranoid about it, but still.
There is a option in the infotainment center to only open the driver's door when using the key fob. You press the unlock button once it'll unlock the drivers press it again it'll open all doors. The option is called 2 Step unlock!
Really love the updated front, someone pointed out the grille and headlamps together form the Genesis shield emblem. That's great attention to detail with the brand and styling.
I love attention to detail and typically have an eye for this kind of stuff, but now that you have pointed this out I am mind blown. That is actually an incredible way to integrate everything to the brand identity and all.
I'm writing from California and one thing I would like to see in your reviews, moving forward, is to comment on the dealership experiences. Here in the US, Kia has a dismal dealership experience for most people whereas, regarding Genesis, there aren't many standalone dealerships.
The reason it doesn't keyless unlock the back doors is so that noone can sneak into your back seat when you stand by your car. It's a great feature and most women who buy this car will appreciate it, and immediately see its purpose.
man... i discover yourchannel with the review of the GV70. you are the best . your voice, smoothness, tone, content is on point. positive attitude, super pro diction. greetings from europe. and yes i subscrive you deserve more than 100k.
Same with the blind spot camera display in the gage cluster. Hyundai/Kia are doing things that no one else is (that I know of) and it’s always features that seem like they should be standard on every car. Reminding me of the older Mercedes S class with their tech going on to become standard in every car.
Hyundai, Genesis and of course KIA (sister company) have the BEST LED's on the road right now, crisp, bright, and they stand out amongst others. Look at the popular K5 from KIA, they're so popular and for so many reasons, their amber daytime running lights stick out and they look great! However, I'm a 2022 G70 owner so that's likely the only positive I can say about that, lol. Of course Audi has it's little LED light show when you walk up to the car or make a turn, in my opinion its OVERDONE and will be muted in later models. It a craze, just like interior lighting is a craze even though that has been available since "The Fast and the Furious" movies came out, all of the sudden interior lighting is a big deal, not for this guy and yes for that reason. I feel like popular brands are running out of ideas so they're are going all out with "bells and whistles" but in the wrong direction. Of course, ultra luxury brands are going in the right direction by implementing subtle lights into the roof of their vehicles (Bentley, they know what they're doing) which just adds that little bit of coziness to their interiors with modern LED's.
I actually changed my mind from Mercedes because of the reliability factor alone. As a delivery driver, I kind of have to rely on my car to start every day and work properly. I'm very busy and mechanical issues would screw over a lot of things regarding schedules. I am more specifically a pizza delivery driver for my dad's store. Our whole family pitches in and we're making sure it's operating properly. As well as being a delivery driver, I also have to open the store and run things every day until someone else comes over to take my place. Sometimes I don't even get to go home at all. Basically, I'm a pizza delivery driver who happens to know how to make the pizzas start to finish as well. Anyways, a little off topic there. I decided Mercedes wasn't going to be a good choice, considering their bad reliability. So, I started looking at Genesis instead. I figured out they have pretty good customer reviews regarding reliability, which is no surprise considering it's a Hyundai brand. Apparently they can last decades with very minimal issues, comparable to a Civic, even. On top of being reliable, they get decent performance to mileage ratio and are honestly really stunning cars, inside and out. I do believe I will be owning one of these beauties whenever our store is payed off. I'll be the most fly delivery driver in town. There's only one or two other genesis vehicles in town and I'd love to join the club and flex on those chargers in the Tim's parking lot next door.
Thx for this review. This car is at the top of my list for when I purchase in early 2024. Just hope it’s still around. With all the SUV’s And EV’s being forced down our throats - all I want is a fun 2 dr (like a Lexus RC) or 4 dr - like the G70 - and those are becoming harder to find.
I don't own this car but I've noticed 1 problem with the very few I've seen. DEAD headlight bulbs. I've seen about 4 of these cars at night with a dead headlight bulbs on either the left or the right hand side....which I find strange for a new remodel car....I don't know if it's a common problem with the LEDs and it's on recall but I've noticed it a few times. Also, I must say...some cars look beautiful only on video but THIS car looks actually looks beautiful in real life. It commands even more attention than your average Mercedes, BMW, or Audi. You will stare it at. This is the best looking affordable luxury car you can buy. This car is coming for Audi's crown in the beauty department.
Love your reviews man! Honestly if they made the G70 a lift back like the stinger I might have been 100% sold on it because Im the type to want a luxury sports car that can do both as a daily driver. Especially at this price point it definitely competes against the German counter part and will cost a lot less in servicing fees etc. honestly if the Acura Integra Type S wasn’t a thing I’d pick this up in a heartbeat but I’m going to try to get my hands on one of those first and if it falls through I’m definitely considering this G70!
Nice you are doing in a closed set not like others in traffic horns. Really like the video style and way of speaking. I would really like to join you sir.
I’m really digging this cuz while I WANT an S5.. I Don’t wanna have to pay $300 for oil changes and $1500 for brakes.. this seems like the best “bang for the buck”, close to German, that you can get. If you were a car salesman you’d have sold this car to me 😅
I bought g70 3.3 rwd with sport Preston package and love it…also Genesis provides 3 year complimentary maintenance on the car! I also got free vehicle state inspection for lifetime of car as well as car washes!
A few weeks ago I drove the sport prestige 3.3T and the advanced model and I know everybody boast about the sport prestige with the LSD and the electronic suspension but I prefer the ride quality of the advanced model with the fixed sport suspension. I'm not a big fan of the quilted seats kind of reminds me of a old diner and to me the advanced model looks sportier on the inside. Genesis is coming up in a big way they make a hell of a car. I test drove it one day and bought the advanced model the next even though I just bought a new car two years ago it was that impressive. I think and the next few years people are going to start recognizing Genesis as a reliable car maker and also it's not a Hyundai product and it hasn't been for quite some time. In 2015 Genesis seperated from Hyundai and became its own brand.
So true about the correlation with INFINITI...... . I'm presently an owner of a 2014 Q50 and guess what ?? I'm shopping for a G70.... Sadly, my Q was a wonderful car ... loved it but have to move on to better and cheaper....
Looove the Siberian Ice but i couldnt find it with black interior. When i saw the Hallasan Green in person i acrually liked it more and thats the color i went with. Such an amazing car
The new G80 Sport just came out in Korea recently as of Sept 2021. You are probably referencing the old shape 2018-2020 G80 Sport which was based on the Hyundai Genesis platform. Still a very good looking midsized vehicle.
@@robsnow2099 What's that mean. Kia technology is less than German technology? Sophomoric comment. I own BMW, SRT, and now Stinger. They all excel in different ways. You couldn't afford a used geo metro so don't talk about it.
Great car. Did a Test drive and was tops on my list. Ended up with a 22 Stinger GT2 as my kids kept yelling about the back seats. Great review as always.
Couple weird things I noticed. I have the Launch Edition and it does not have the power trunk. Also, I thought that red interior was only supposed to be for the LE's? Mine is a US version so that may be why but weird that they only have the power trunk and red interior for the non LE's in Canada.
I wish the Cadillac CT5-V would have a red leather interior option. That shit looks SO nice. I like the look of the Cadillac much more, but the genesis warranty and the red leather are way better.
Greetings from Socal. I really enjoyed your review. You were so down to earth and hit all the main and odd points of the automobile. I'm struggling with what color . I like the Siberian ice. Anything you really on't like about the car? Thanks again for the great review, you did a stellar job. Cheers!
Thanks for your support! Not that I recall, I do like the brand. The interior style take a bit getting used to, is probably the only thing that sticks out. Hope that helps!
Great video!!! How do you think this car would feel coming from a 2019 Volvo S60? I test drive this car recently with some of the smaller 2024 changes. I love the quality of the interior and how fast this is. I especially love the ventilated seats. But, the half digital/half analog gauge cluster and no ambient lighting vs. the competition would take getting used to. But then again, that’s why the lease on this comes out to $100 less a month compared to an S5 Sportback Premium Plus, and $200 less a month than a mid trim M340i. If you were me, would you spend the extra money and go S5 Sportback and pay for the maintenance? Or, are these cars close enough that you wouldn’t mind taking the lower priced/cheaper G79 with some of the smaller 2024 changes? Thanks!
I bought a 2023 3.3t AWD Sport (Sport Prestige in USA) after considering the M340i xD, S5 SB, etc. If I were looking for the most performance I could buy in the class I'd go for the BMW - the motor is WAAAAY more potent, and combines the torque with a more rev-happy nature. However, the ride was harsh, I personally disliked the "spaceship-y" style inside and out, and here in Canada it was more than 35% more expensive than the comparable G70. Additionally, as I wanted to buy the car for longer vs lease, the ability to get a comprehensive 8-year Genesis warranty at a reasonable cost allows me to "lock in" the car for the next 8 years, vs potential high out-of-warranty costs for the BMW after 4 years. The S5 SB (& coupe) were even less attractive as competition - although they are much prettier than the BMW, the performance is similar to the G70 but with nose-heavy driving dynamics, and similar high cost as the BMW. One thing I would consider is that the G70 is almost more like a coupe - say the M440i or S5 coupe - in terms of rear seat and trunk space, and also in terms of style (low, wide, long hood, short deck). This can be a plus or a minus depending on your priorities (space vs style). You really can't go wrong with any of your choices, it really depends on what is most important for you. Good luck!
I know it's longitudinally mounted engine, so I presume it is RWD biased and can shift power forward when needed, with 100% at rear wheels, thus 4WD, kind of like xDrive. ??? is that accurate? Also, does it have double wishbone fnt suspension?
Say it loud for @GenesisUSA and for the people in the back! The Canadian models get the power trunk closer and heated rear seats! These options were removed on the 2022 model.
Could be my biased Stinger owners opinion but I think the Kia looks better... The interior in this Genesis is also disgusting, again just my opinion ✌🏻Your reviews are always great though!!!
I dont own either car but I really want my next car to be a sportback. The g70 is nice and I like it but rear seat legroom sucks and not having the hatch is a big difference. So a Stinger or Audo S5 sportback are kinda my dream rides at the moment. But if a g70 showed up in my driveway and someone handed me the keys Id still be thrilled.
@@danr154 don't get me wrong I like the GV70 but it's just that red interior doesn't stop.. seats and console okay but the dash and everything else makes it look like Harley Quinns car. I own a 21' Stinger and have taken it on several long trips with friends in the backseat well over 6' and they've never complained once. Its unbelievable though the amount of space the trunk has though, I don't think any of the German cats come even close to it, I may be mistaken though.
I hope the 2023/24 model will have the the gv70 Interior … with amped up hp & tq in order to differentiate from the Kia stinger. Overall it is still a badass vehicle that just needs a couple of up to date tweaks
Tell me, my friend: I, too, live in Canada and in Quebec, winter tires are mandetory. The summer tires on this one are staggered. Can I put on ''regular winter'' ( regular profiles ) and rims ( not staggered) on it ??
yes, one of the official Genesis winter wheel & tire packages for the car (including 3.3T AWD Sport with staggered summers) is a 18" square 225/45R18 setup.
Also the few negatige points of this car dont affect me. Im married with no kids so nonody really rides in the back seat ever. And I dont really have a need for a larger trunk. Great review tho i enjoyed your video.
Regarding the solidity of the doors, I have a 2021 G70 2.0T AWD. Last month, I had my first annual maintenance service (by valet). They gave me a 2022 G70 as a loaner. I found that the doors on the 2022 model had a less satisfying thunk when I closed them.
This is a Great Car, I own a Kia 2020 Stinger GT2 with a JB4 tune box which is directly compatible with the G70 setup. Once you add the JB4to the G70, it changes the whole game. I consider the G70 the "GROWN MAN'S" version of the Kia Stinger and after owning two Stingers, I'll be trading up to a 2022 G70.
*KIA🚗 is a nice car with just the right crypto investment a car like that could become affordable in a matter of months. Given the present bullish trend of the market.*
@13:16 Did you launch back in time? LoL
Yeah, i saw the old Ford too!
I’ve tested pretty much all the competitors and ended up buying the G70. Price point, performance, service and value made the difference for me. Should arrive in 2 weeks.

I think it´s a really good competitor to the American and German Premium brands, thanks for the review.
For $38 grand? I'm in love. Look amazing. And no offense, I admire Kia, but genesis knows how to ace interior. The infotainment is just amazing. Only Tesla can match it, for it's frame rate. And just an angelic body, especially the grill.
$38k for the base 2.0t version. This ones more like $50k-60k usd
Starting price is misleading , $38k for the 2.0t basic with no added features
The infotainment is exactly the same system as the Stinger
It's because Genesis is actually their REAL Luxury brand. KIA and Hyundai are more the day to day normal driving cars, while yes the Stinger was labeled as a Luxury type car, but it was never meant to be a full on Luxury car.

That would be pretty awesome too.
Nice you are doing in a closed set not like others in traffic horns. Really like the video style and way of speaking. I would really like to join you sir.
I’m really digging this cuz while I WANT an S5.. I Don’t wanna have to pay $300 for oil changes and $1500 for brakes.. this seems like the best “bang for the buck”, close to German, that you can get.
If you were a car salesman you’d have sold this car to me 😅
I bought g70 3.3 rwd with sport Preston package and love it…also Genesis provides 3 year complimentary maintenance on the car! I also got free vehicle state inspection for lifetime of car as well as car washes!
A few weeks ago I drove the sport prestige 3.3T and the advanced model and I know everybody boast about the sport prestige with the LSD and the electronic suspension but I prefer the ride quality of the advanced model with the fixed sport suspension. I'm not a big fan of the quilted seats kind of reminds me of a old diner and to me the advanced model looks sportier on the inside. Genesis is coming up in a big way they make a hell of a car. I test drove it one day and bought the advanced model the next even though I just bought a new car two years ago it was that impressive. I think and the next few years people are going to start recognizing Genesis as a reliable car maker and also it's not a Hyundai product and it hasn't been for quite some time. In 2015 Genesis seperated from Hyundai and became its own brand.
Super nice! I am imagining an electric version of this car with more tech.
So true about the correlation with INFINITI...... . I'm presently an owner of a 2014 Q50 and guess what ?? I'm shopping for a G70.... Sadly, my Q was a wonderful car ... loved it but have to move on to better and cheaper....
if only the instrument cluster was full digital like the gv70, it would be perfect. Think the 2023 model will look more like the gv70?
Looove the Siberian Ice but i couldnt find it with black interior. When i saw the Hallasan Green in person i acrually liked it more and thats the color i went with. Such an amazing car
I can’t wait for the electric version!
Its like if my Dodge Dart was actually good amd fun and not a complete pile of Fiat dogwater.
This is a very cool car I'm thinking of getting the G80 sport though do you have a review on it yet?
We filmed the G80 3.5T last week! Review will be coming soon.
The new G80 Sport just came out in Korea recently as of Sept 2021. You are probably referencing the old shape 2018-2020 G80 Sport which was based on the Hyundai Genesis platform. Still a very good looking midsized vehicle.
@@imraanbulbulia80 no not the 2018 the 2021 version its on their website and some reviewers have the press release ones
I have the Genesis G70 launch edition! Matte gray finish and love it!
Awesome review! Love the jungle intro. Great show!
Similarly equipped M340i or S4 cost $60K to $70K. Top end G70 3.3T around $54K. Do you really need those German badges?
Helllnaw
You get Kia tech, so it shouldn’t cost as much.
@@robsnow2099 What's that mean. Kia technology is less than German technology? Sophomoric comment. I own BMW, SRT, and now Stinger. They all excel in different ways. You couldn't afford a used geo metro so don't talk about it.
Great car. Did a Test drive and was tops on my list. Ended up with a 22 Stinger GT2 as my kids kept yelling about the back seats. Great review as always.
What color did you get ?
@@REALJayDOTWill ghost grey
Keyless door closers 🤣
I like the pun on Doug "This"
Couple weird things I noticed. I have the Launch Edition and it does not have the power trunk. Also, I thought that red interior was only supposed to be for the LE's? Mine is a US version so that may be why but weird that they only have the power trunk and red interior for the non LE's in Canada.
I own a 2020 gt stinger but this is a beauty aswell
I wish the Cadillac CT5-V would have a red leather interior option. That shit looks SO nice. I like the look of the Cadillac much more, but the genesis warranty and the red leather are way better.
The transmission tuning significantly changes in sport+
".....Sound awesome "
Me: expecting awesomeness
Car: *make a dying cat sound"
Me: 😳
Excellent review! Thanks for the video! I'd personally go for the Stinger due to the liftback - can fit my bike inside, but the G70 is very pretty.
if you need a powerfull Korean Car, wait for the Kia EV6 or Genesis GV60 with Spicy 580 HP.
Is there any images or videos of these?
@@terragrow440 youtube Asianpetrolhead.
@@alengreen589 thanks, i actually love watching his videos 🔥🔥
@@terragrow440 I´m too.
the base is good too
Greetings from Socal. I really enjoyed your review. You were so down to earth and hit all the main and odd points of the automobile. I'm struggling with what color . I like the Siberian ice. Anything you really on't like about the car? Thanks again for the great review, you did a stellar job. Cheers!
Thanks for your support!
Not that I recall, I do like the brand. The interior style take a bit getting used to, is probably the only thing that sticks out.
Hope that helps!
I would love to see a review on the G70 after 6 months to a year of ownership. Any breakdowns, any engine or transmission problems
Yeah this was a press vehicle from Genesis, we typically get 1 week with each vehicle.
@6:52
Bet this video got an excellent "Doug score". 🤣😎
Great video!!! How do you think this car would feel coming from a 2019 Volvo S60? I test drive this car recently with some of the smaller 2024 changes. I love the quality of the interior and how fast this is. I especially love the ventilated seats. But, the half digital/half analog gauge cluster and no ambient lighting vs. the competition would take getting used to. But then again, that’s why the lease on this comes out to $100 less a month compared to an S5 Sportback Premium Plus, and $200 less a month than a mid trim M340i. If you were me, would you spend the extra money and go S5 Sportback and pay for the maintenance? Or, are these cars close enough that you wouldn’t mind taking the lower priced/cheaper G79 with some of the smaller 2024 changes? Thanks!
I bought a 2023 3.3t AWD Sport (Sport Prestige in USA) after considering the M340i xD, S5 SB, etc.
If I were looking for the most performance I could buy in the class I'd go for the BMW - the motor is WAAAAY more potent, and combines the torque with a more rev-happy nature. However, the ride was harsh, I personally disliked the "spaceship-y" style inside and out, and here in Canada it was more than 35% more expensive than the comparable G70. Additionally, as I wanted to buy the car for longer vs lease, the ability to get a comprehensive 8-year Genesis warranty at a reasonable cost allows me to "lock in" the car for the next 8 years, vs potential high out-of-warranty costs for the BMW after 4 years.
The S5 SB (& coupe) were even less attractive as competition - although they are much prettier than the BMW, the performance is similar to the G70 but with nose-heavy driving dynamics, and similar high cost as the BMW.
One thing I would consider is that the G70 is almost more like a coupe - say the M440i or S5 coupe - in terms of rear seat and trunk space, and also in terms of style (low, wide, long hood, short deck). This can be a plus or a minus depending on your priorities (space vs style).
You really can't go wrong with any of your choices, it really depends on what is most important for you. Good luck!
You getting the GV70 soon?
We reviewed it about 1 month ago! See here:
th-cam.com/video/_n5j_1NZkp4/w-d-xo.html
Dayum, what a beauty and a beast!
I know it's longitudinally mounted engine, so I presume it is RWD biased and can shift power forward when needed, with 100% at rear wheels, thus 4WD, kind of like xDrive. ??? is that accurate? Also, does it have double wishbone fnt suspension?
Unfortunately it doesn’t but still rides nice with the active dampers and handles well with lsd!
I believe I read somewhere that the AWD system is the same one supplied by Magna for BMW to market as xDrive.
They need to stop playing give NA market the same full digital gauge clusters as other markets!
Say it loud for @GenesisUSA and for the people in the back! The Canadian models get the power trunk closer and heated rear seats! These options were removed on the 2022 model.
You have to complete the set and review the G80 too!!
We filmed it! Coming soon!
@@ACCELER8TV Curious to know if you had to choose would you take the G70 or the Stinger?
I can't wait until you get your hands on a TLX Type S
what was that car at 13:17 :)
Never Miss a Leg day...
i will wait for an updated interior version :3
Can I come work for you I’m local to London lol, man this is so awesome! Love your videos
Could be my biased Stinger owners opinion but I think the Kia looks better... The interior in this Genesis is also disgusting, again just my opinion ✌🏻Your reviews are always great though!!!
Disgusting? It's quite what you see in the segment bruh.
@@naiyayika "Again just my opinion" bruh.
I dont own either car but I really want my next car to be a sportback. The g70 is nice and I like it but rear seat legroom sucks and not having the hatch is a big difference. So a Stinger or Audo S5 sportback are kinda my dream rides at the moment. But if a g70 showed up in my driveway and someone handed me the keys Id still be thrilled.
@@danr154 don't get me wrong I like the GV70 but it's just that red interior doesn't stop.. seats and console okay but the dash and everything else makes it look like Harley Quinns car. I own a 21' Stinger and have taken it on several long trips with friends in the backseat well over 6' and they've never complained once. Its unbelievable though the amount of space the trunk has though, I don't think any of the German cats come even close to it, I may be mistaken though.
Siberian Ice is the best car color of all time.
Nice studio / garage 🤩
Waiting for this one coming to Europe so hard
Sounds awesome lol
I hope the 2023/24 model will have the the gv70 Interior … with amped up hp & tq in order to differentiate from the Kia stinger. Overall it is still a badass vehicle that just needs a couple of up to date tweaks
Great all around car without braking your finances !!!
🤣 😂 6:52 THIS!!!
Plz make a video of what is the difference between the stinger vs g70
12:16 min - check engine?
Overall, the redesign is an improvement. I like the car. 👍
In America, ours do not have electric trunk, or heated rear seats, or the full digital dash like other places
I got the 2019. Prestige and got it heated seats in the back. No one ever uses them tho 😭
THIS😂😂😂
Nice video as always! Are those Pegasus 38?
Yes sir!
I bought the 22 stinger and I kinda wish I would have waited the extra 2 months and got this instead. I got a little impatient.
How was your fully drive experience with 22 Stinger?
Tell me, my friend: I, too, live in Canada and in Quebec, winter tires are mandetory. The summer tires on this one are staggered. Can I put on ''regular winter'' ( regular profiles ) and rims ( not staggered) on it ??
yes, one of the official Genesis winter wheel & tire packages for the car (including 3.3T AWD Sport with staggered summers) is a 18" square 225/45R18 setup.
Awesome just got my 2022 genesis G70 3.3t awd Nd its awesome
Congrats!!
I want someone to buy me on these
So freaking gorgeous
What a gorgeous car for the price
6:34 Do you mean All Wheel Drive or can you not read? 🤔
ooops. Nope 👎🏻 can’t read.
@@ACCELER8TV Just keeping u on your toes 😉 Nice video.
Also the few negatige points of this car dont affect me. Im married with no kids so nonody really rides in the back seat ever. And I dont really have a need for a larger trunk. Great review tho i enjoyed your video.
Regarding the solidity of the doors, I have a 2021 G70 2.0T AWD. Last month, I had my first annual maintenance service (by valet). They gave me a 2022 G70 as a loaner.
I found that the doors on the 2022 model had a less satisfying thunk when I closed them.
I feel like u never see a genesis anywhere in the US
This is a Great Car,
I own a Kia 2020 Stinger GT2 with a JB4 tune box which is directly compatible with the G70 setup. Once you add the JB4to the G70, it changes the whole game. I consider the G70 the "GROWN MAN'S" version of the Kia Stinger and after owning two Stingers, I'll be trading up to a 2022 G70.
*KIA🚗 is a nice car with just the right crypto investment a car like that could become affordable in a matter of months. Given the present bullish trend of the market.*
I got 80% of my total portfolio in Crypto and it has been great Returns
I wanted to trade Crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
He's obviously the best invested 2000USD with him and I made a profit of 9101USD
I lost £12000 carelessly trading on a platform then I was referred to Expert Anthony Brian he recovered the loss and made an extra profit of £4600
I tried trading on my own but it only left chasing shadows
@6:53 "This!"......lol (DM) You're too much!
I appreciate your reviews b/c you have driven numerous cars and know how each one drives.
