@catholicfirefighter LMAO.... Hey, where is ''trump'' in all this ????? .... and the ''convoy'' ... REALLY ?? You really need help ... and a prayer.... SMH...
This was my debate, loved the g70 and stinger gt2…I do have kids so I went with the stinger cause it seemed to have more back seat room… just bought the stinger with scorpion package less than a month ago and I have no regrets!!!
I just bought the g70 2023 brand new and I love it very much also love the stinger a bit more longer than the g70 but both cars are beautiful thanks for them video
I purchased the 2022 G70 in Siberian Ice almost two years ago. Fabulous in the twisties but also a great GT car. Loaded it with skis, golf clubs and tennis bags for a trip over the Rockies in April. Only issue is catching myself going too fast when passing. Easy to be doing 160 km/hr and not really notice. You can have your car detained for a week in B.C. for speeds like that. No regrets with this purchase. If I wanted less performance, I would have bought a German car.
The horsepower for both shown is 368. On the G70, if you get the Sport Prestige or the trim with the Variable Value Exhaust (VVE), the VVE adds 3 extra horsepower. I’m jealous that in Canada, you guys get the power trunk lid and heated rear seats on the G70. We currently don’t have those available in the states due to “supply issues”. Your review was excellent to watch!
Ah ok, thanks for letting me know about the exhaust. Genesis Canada needs to update their website then cause it says 365 hp for both Advanced trim (without VVE) & Sport trip (with VVE). Thanks for watching!
Yea I noticed the Canadian versions have rear heated seats. Here in the states I went to 4 dealerships and bought a 2023 3.3 sport prestige and no car i tested had rear heated seats. I would love that feature even tho nobody sits in my backseat lol
Great review! Just purchased a 22 G70 3.3 Sport Prestige myself! I’m jealous of the power trunk and heated rear seats you get in Canada. Those back seats would be nice in this Michigan weather too.
In 2023 they brought the power trunk to the stated. My sport prestige has it which I do enjoy. Especially the auto trunk open option when your hands are full. Love my car no regrets
Placebo is the correct term. The G70 AWD is rear bias. I think it can sent 80% of the power to the rears. KIA is a bit longer and being a hatch has more usable space.
Found 2 different 2022 Kia stinger gt2 with scorpion package at 2 local dealerships. Both Ceramic silver color with black seats. First dealership was asking $5000 over msrp…2nd dealership had no markup and I purchased it for $2000 below MSRP. This was in the Pittsburgh area.
Looking to end of year buy a luxury sports sedan. I have been very interested in the G70 3.3tt awd as it has awd, performance upgrade from my 2.0t genesis coupe, and I know the quality from them to expect. The thing I'm wondering is if the stinger may be worth consider. Both are great but hard to choose for sure may need to test drive both and check out both it seems as the Stinger isn't too far luxury wise from genesis but still is kind of more "practical family'" it seems in a few areas.
Now that the Stinger is being discontinued, you might be able to find some deals on them. Hopefully there's enough remaining inventory for this to happen.
I'd like to get the Stinger, but in reality it's about $15K more - around $65K USD for a GT2 due to BS markups from dealers. Inventory on them is low, so it's hard to haggle. A G70 is around $10K cheaper.
Wow, the Stinger has higher markups than G70!?! Unfortunately it's a bad tome to buy any sort of car, nevermind one that doesn't get as widely produced like a Civic for example. 😕
I have to go w/the stinger only the scorpion is the one to get, the g70 face lift looks horrible to me, I put my order in for the scorpion, gotta way till Jan. to get mine, great vlog ......
Thank you! January wait for an order isn't quite as bad as some of the other wait times I've heard from others here on TH-cam. Apparently Mazda has a wait time until March.
subscribed!! great review!! Due to your unbiased expert review, I still don't know which of the two beautiful cars I should choose 😀 😄 Red G70 or Red Stinger swede
Haha Thanks! Well it depends on what you want more from these. Do you want something that will be a lot of fun to drive and you'll be primarily driving it by yourself? The G70 is the choice. Or do you want something a bit more practical and will have your family/friends come along often? The Stinger is the better one for that. That's how I look at these two cars. Personally, I'd take the G70 because it would just be me driving it most of the time with just one passenger and I don't have kids so no need to worry about car seats or a lot of groceries. Hope this helps!
@@MGReviewsBlog Thank you again! it`s very helpful! I drive by myself most of the time and my wife has an SUV. My kids are all away. Then G70, right? hahaha. Have a good day!!
I guess they needed to differentiate those cars even more now. Thanks for the info! Unfortunately we don't get the 2.5L engine in the Stinger here in Canada; just the V6.
umm since the Kia Stinger is being discontinued the choice is naturally a 2019 Kia stinger gts, in the long run it will be like the Plymouth fury, and resale value will be high down the road, just saying....
Nice review! I'd love to get a hold of a G70 to get a good comparison. I still think it's odd that these 2 keep getting compared though. Even though they're the same platform, they're two different segments - compact vs mid-sized. Also interesting that they have different options in the US and Canada. No RWD seems unfortunate.
Thanks! At the time that I filmed them, there was no comparable Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, etc that I could get my hands on. Otherwise I probably would have split these two into separate reviews against European or Japanese counterparts. And yea, I guess we still have that stereotype here in Canada that it's always winter 365 days a year and we need AWD all the time (not true). Where I live in Vancouver, we get snow maybe twice a year. Rest of the time it's either sun or rain which RWD cars can easily handle. Thanks for watching!
@@MGReviewsBlog I totally get that. I'm still struggling to get any press cars, so props for that! If you have any tips, I'm all ears! I just see these two cars compared a lot, so people must be looking at the two, but it seems like a weird comparison to me on the surface. Ha, yeah I guess that's it with the RWD vs AWD. But also strange that you can't get a 4-cyl Stinger. I guess it's just what sells there. But yeah - RWD, snow tires, careful driving - seems like people would be fine even on the snowy days.
I started by getting in touch with friends I knew at dealerships, to get my hands on cars. I focused on building up my audience because that's what manufacturers want. A bigger audience. After a couple years, I reached out to Honda and they gave me a 2016 CR-V to review. From then on, I reached out to more and more manufacturers and got to where I am today. Still got ways to go but very grateful where I got. It also depends on what type of press fleets you have in your city (there may not be any) but you can find out the email contact of PR managers or Media Fleet managers by going to each respective manufacturer's media website. Also, get in touch with any other local auto journalists, they can also point you in the right direction to press fleet contacts.
@@MGReviewsBlog Thanks for the reply! That's about on par with what I've been doing. With the chip shortage though, I've already had to expand beyond my initial niche and finding cars has been especially tough. I was hoping there was some kind of magic I was missing ha, but getting in touch with local journalists is a good call as well. Thanks again!
And no. Sport plus mode is geared more aggressively than the stinger. I find using launch control on the g70 almost makes it slower off the line. Its not like audi launch control. But sport plus mode and then turning the traction control off all the way so that there is no stabilizing features at all is the way to get the quickest acceleration from the prestige G70 3.3T. Most car reviewers and places like road and track or car and driver among many other testers of the g70 arent owners. And as an owner having come from a 11 second tuned to the gills 2018 S5 sportback to this small thing I can say there is a bit of a learning curve to get the most out of it. Also the sport differential on the prestige is a plus. The 2022 g70 was really about making a killer performance sedan with massive luxury appointments and reliability. Which it has. The g70 is actually the best elements of many cars of the era. You can see the influences all around. And the vents on the side are actually functional rather than just some glue on makes it look fast accessory. In reality on a good day with a nice set of tires these will run 12.7 all day long.
Your commentary is very bland unfortunately even though your content is accurate. If you could bring some more enthusiasm and energy to your video, I think you'd do much better. Not bashing, only offering constructive criticism.
Yes, I know. I started writing car reviews back in 2012 because I was very uncomfortable of being in front of a camera. But after the years, it wasn't really getting me anywhere so I bit the bullet and started doing videos last year. I'm still not comfortable being in front of the camera but it's something that I'm trying to work on. I appreciate your feedback!
If you are 6'4" then I am going to have to watch all your videos. I am 6'5" and it is hard to get a sense of headroom from all the other reviews out there.
If you're 6'5''. you will not fit..... even in front...... I'm 6'2'' and the driver's seat has to be at its lowest setting for NOT touching the top of cabin....
Mmmm....... I'm not so sure about that. I like Kia/Hyundai/genesis products but I don't think they're on the same level as Toyota when it comes to residual value & reliability.
Which luxury sports sedan would you pick? One of these two? Or the German rivals?
The Kia is the better option overall.
@catholicfirefighter I will pray for you ....

Congrats on your purchase! What did the dealership say that the expected delivery time is?
@@MGReviewsBlog they said 6 weeks possibly I hope sooner all they had on the lot was 2021
Wow! Hyundai done good job. I'll choose Genesis G70 over the Stinger, no doubt about it. That's my dream car.
It would seem like the G70 is slightly more popular as the Stinger is getting discontinued while the G70 is still being produced... for now at least.
2.2 Turbo Diesel, 200bhp available in Europe too.

Does the steering feel loosen up in comfort mode on the g70? also, what is ground clearance of the g70?
Yes, the steering does get lighter in Comfort mode compared to Sport mode and the ground clearance is 5.5".

What color is this? Siberia ice?
Good eye! Yes it is.
If you have the sport prestige with the active exhaust it adds the 3 horsepower.

G70! Good review

I just read a review which said the stinger is sporty whereas the g70 is comfort. That seems to be the opposite of what you are saying?
Yea, to me the G70 felt more sporty and the Stinger was more comfortable. Do you have a link to the article you saw? I'd like to read it.
They may share but they're different companies. Hyundai bought some of Kia.
The same thing as most of other automakers out there.
genesis interior much nicer
Variable exhaust adds 3 HP
Or the HP difference could be a typo.
Could be but I think it is because of the sports exhaust that others have commented on this video.
the split head lights and the pointy front grill bottom on the g70 is a no for me.
