I like the black and brown interior of the MB, but I love the blue interior with red accents of the Genesis. I love the traditional gauge cluster of the Genesis; the interior is simple yet efficient. I don’t care how much faster the MB is; it’s Genesis for me.
Inside and out the Genesis GV70 looks stunning and reminds me of what a true luxury product should look like. The Germans have completely lost the plot chasing Tesla and going tech overload. I would take the Genesis GV70 over any offering in its class. Right now the biggest issue I foresee for Genesis is they made the mistake of going all in on EVs before having a top trim petrol engine to compete with the M and AMG brands V8. Genesis is also seeing some high price creep of the past few years since inception. I think they can be a truly great brand as long as they address these two issues. I really have nothing negative to say about Genesis currently as my parents have owned many luxury product and they have gone from Mercedes to now owning two Genesis products and absolutely loving them. They make stunning luxury products.
Genesis has a V8 engine. There is a 2019 G90 5.0 model. It is a naturally aspirated gasoline engine with 420 horsepower. However, the engine is no longer used due to environmental regulations.
The gv70 digital dash is not kinda like 3D, it is 3D and it looks very cool. Although you can turn the 3D off. My genesis dealer gave me one as a loaner and damn it made me want to buy an suv lol. Thing is great.
I love by GV70 Sport Prestige. I have had it for 3 years now and still in love with it. You just cannot beat the value and price you get with a Genesis. It just looks better than the competition without nickeling and diming you.
Genesis GV70 is the one to choose, over $100,000 for 4v mercedes GLC43? must be out of your mind. It doesn't matter how Sam describe, Genesis is the one
I love my Genesis GV70 Sport Prestige. It still looks better than the GLC43 inside and out. And when the refreshed GV70 arrives in the US, it is really going to put Mercedes to shame. Mercedes is just not it anymore.
It definitely does not look better. You can get way better cars for the price of a Genesis which is a rebadged and overpriced Hyundai that is barely better than a Santa Fe or a Palisade. Genesis needs to improve their price point. So Mercedes for the win
@ I disagree. You will never find a luxury car for the value that the Genesis offers. BMW is starting to look cheap, Mercedes is overpriced and Audi is just doing weird stuff. Lexus, Acura can’t compare.
@ The only luxury German car that comes close to a Genesis GV70 Sport Prestige specs wise and price is a BMW X3 M50 xDrive which is 2K more than the Genesis but has a cheap looking interior and materials. Other than that, Audi and Mercedes vehicles that are comparable are easily 10K more and that is only optioning the cheapest specs you can. And Porsche is obviously the most expensive. And German cars aren’t anymore reliable or cheaper in repairs than a Genesis either.
had a couple GLC models when servicing my E53's over the years and I would never buy one. Compared to my E class, they are very squeaky and have lots of rattles, I had a GLC43, and a GLC300 each time, and definitely not the build quality of an E class. I would say Mercedes must be aware of it, and does nothing to correct it in terms of padding or other methods in the factory to get rid of the squeaks and rattles, they just dont care I guess... looked at a GV70, I thought it was nice but doenst have the headroom I need.. was ok just not quite enough.
The interior on the Mercedes is grotesque! The Genesis looks simple, artistic and elegant. The exterior is subjective, but you can tell designers spent a lot more time and effort with the GV70 than the GLC. A shame Genesis toned down a few things with the 2025 facelift, and the interior took a turn for the worse...
I rented a Mercedes 300 for 10 days. The interior center console complete blows!!! The electronic buttons are horrible, didn’t work most of the time. The seats sucked. It was solid structure a d could be great but overall it was uncomfortable and sucked ass.
Remember that 4cyl is handmade by AMG. It’s a true amg engine from the ground up. Imo, it’s okay in a 43 but we might agree that the 63 should at least be a v6 or inline 6 or even better, a v8
Maybe I’m just out of date but I can’t see a 4 cylinder engine in a luxury car. It’s a hot hatch engine in a heavy luxury SUV and that just seems wrong. That alone puts me off.
So sad how far Benz has fallen with it's more recent products. Insanely unreliable. Poorly put together. Mish mash of quality and crap inside. And oh, grossly overpriced. Go racing? Take the AMG. Live with everyday? Genesis, thanks.
They’re definitely not that unreliable or creaky after sitting in both the new bmw x3 and the new glc the glc definitely was better, and even I would take a glc over a overpriced Hyundai which is this Genesis that barely has any sales
@Huayraas Well, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not. Lol. A quick check of CR and JDP will show you that Mercedes is, in fact, less reliable than its counterparts. And if you knew anything about cars you'd know that Genesis rides on their own platforms; not shared with Hyundai. Educate yourself man!
@ I’m a car guy and more educated than people that buy Genesis if u had more knowledge about Mercedes and Genesis u would know that their parts are pretty much the same with Hyundai, they’re also overpriced. Or if u have owned a Mercedes u would know that they’re not that creaky or unreliable, the sales proves it😉
@@canadabear72 You don’t know your automakers darling!! It’s made by Hyundai the parent company!!! Just because u slap a Lexus badge on a Toyota doesn’t change the fact it’s a Toyota. Same applies here

Because that 4 cyl is handmade by amg. It’s a full fledged amg engine. Same engine in the cla45. For a 43, it’s all good. But in a 63, v8 is the only option but I would accept a v6 or inline 6
@@dnc3861 Having owned Mercedes and BMW SUVs, I can confidently say I’d never buy another German SUV. They are unreliable af and expensive to maintain. Once out of warranty, you better be willing to fork over $5k+ every time something goes wrong. And something will go wrong.

@@dnc3861 lol, if you believe in CR report, then go ahead and buy a Mercedes. That contradicts JD Powers. I don’t trust either one. I go based on my own experience and experiences of people I know. And Mercedes and BMWs are crap. Unreliable and expensive to maintain and fix. Nothing but headaches.
Great video. I got an idea for you, Sam. How about the MB GLC 43 AMG vs MB GLA 45 AMG? 4 cylinder versus 4 cylinder. All-wheel drive versus All-wheel drive. Let's see which small MB SUV is the quickness. Never done before, your video will be the 1st! You never know it could be a factor for a consumer on which one to buy.
I test drove gv70 3.5T a few month ago, it feels very firm/bumpy on any cracks at freeway. Plus the steering is firm; car start/stop very aggressive even on comfort. When you said the suspension is soft, is feels a bit strange, is there any adjustable setting can changes it to soft and gentle on this car?
Mercedes has completely lost its mind with pricing it's vehicles. It's gone all in on people who will just blindly buy a Mercedes because of the name instead of the quality. Comparing the two interiors of these should make Mercedes feel embarrassed.
Just drove a loaner 2024 C-class car and the interior quality wasn't as nice as my 2021 GLC 43 AMG with the V-6. I do like the 295 rear tires of this new GLC and some of the minor exterior changes.
@@SamCarLegion yes. Look at the dash. All glossy plastic. For $100+k, it should all be leather and wood, brushed metal, or carbon fiber. Not polycarbonate, ABS, or PES.
The problem is, paying so much money for a 4cylinder. I’d understand if it was at minimum a V6 turbo. I get the technology, but traditionally a 4 cylinder would always be under 40K.
It’s the name that is tough to over come. Hyundai has done their research and home work. congratulations. Yes, I’m not impressed with MB interior when I press against the dashboard. In reality people will still sign a check for the three pointed star. It doesn’t matter what you drive..but the heart wants what the heart wants and willing the sacrifice.
Some might consider shorts, ankle socks, a T-shirt and a sleeveless coat a possible identity crisis.. Nice watch by the way. All of that money for the GLC and they reward you with a Geo Metro rear climate console👌. I also don’t at all like the GLC interior selection. They have some much better choices that work for me. That alcantra wheel material will look nasty in a couple years. I’m 1000% on board with the GV70 interior color choices and feel. They CONTINUE to skimp on the door trim. That dark chrome trim oxidizes on all of the Kia and Genesis vehicles that I’ve seen. Hopefully Genesis will include HDA2, wireless CarPlay and a rear view camera in the updated model. It’s past time. Are you sure the GV70 doesn’t allow manual shifting? Those brakes definitely leave a bit to be desired. The GV70 isn’t as dynamically sound at the limits as a GLC43 or an X3M for sure. Since almost nobody tracks their luxury SUVs my pocket wouldn’t open up an additional $30K for the extra money to purchase the MB. The brand doesn’t do anything functional for me so that doesn’t factor into the equation at all. Thanks for the thorough and entertaining video 🤙
Listening to the reviewer, and looking at both vehicles, he doesn't seem to be the targeted audience for either vehicle. Both seem to be looking for a younger driver, and that may be why he doesn't find either attractive.
Wow...Bias much? In the first 3 minutes I can already see your bias...While the Hyundai, I mean Genesis is a nice looking car and it has some nice tech, it's just a Hyundai! And there is a huge stigma on the Hyundai and Kia with metal fatigue for all the cast metal parts like transmissions, axels and transaxels. And let's not forget about the more than 10 million engines that have had to be replaced on these Hyundai and Kias. Yeah...not something I would want to trust...And yes, there are those outliers who claim to have a billion miles on their Sorento with no issues what so ever (I doubt that), anecdotes do not make the norm. The point is that Kias and Hyundais are entry-level automobiles...the Genesis is just masquerading as an upscale vehicle, but it's still just an entry level vehicle...generally, when you see one of these Kias/Hyundais/Genesis, you KNOW that the driver has not had their driver's license for more than 5 years (yes, I know, generalizations, but the analogy works here because there's more truth than hyperbole). As a rule, when you see one of these, you steer clear of them on the highway because the driver lacks the driving skills to handle most road situations beyond simple turning and braking... Whereas with the Mercedes, almost *ALWAYS* the vehicle is being driven by an older person...someone who as "made it" in life and is enjoying the luxuries of their years of hard work...and when you see an AMG, you're most likely encountering an older vehicle enthusiast who not only enjoys a bit of luxury, but also a considerable amount of fun! And the power from that engine is no joke! It's got enough to stand up the hair on the back of your hands! No...really, no. There really is no comparison between the two...you may want to believe there is, but it's just your own bias getting in the way of what could have been an interesting comparison...Sorry...I didnt' even bother finishing this video because the first 3 minutes told me where this was going....
Meanwhile, Mercedes can't substiate their high prices and declining quality. The MB badge is starting to look like a representation of low self esteem and poor choices.
Hold on before u jump into conclusion!! Look at lexus now, the LX500 looks normal. Genesis has put all this luxury in their car in one year and declared them winner. Go drive a Mercedes.. you will see
Not at all, it wins in maybe having more power and that's about it, the GV70 DECIMATES in every other aspect. From the look and feel, to driving and reliability, tech and value.
Is your money and your taste!!! But……. If the 43 is a challenge for the GV70 what the GLC63 would do to the GV70? Destroy it in very detail!!! The Benz cost more cause is way more advanced actually F1 tech!!! But each is own! Now S Korean vs Germans? Is not exactly a smart comparison! The Audi and BMW are the closest rivals of the GLC and the NX,RDX,QX50 are more direct rivals of the Genesis!!!
it got smoked because the mercedes costs more with an inferior interior and luxury. What do you mean? There's a massive tradeoff, and it's a 4 cylinder not a v6
I'm wit the G70 it's unique inside/out and they ride smooth
I like the black and brown interior of the MB, but I love the blue interior with red accents of the Genesis. I love the traditional gauge cluster of the Genesis; the interior is simple yet efficient. I don’t care how much faster the MB is; it’s Genesis for me.

Is the build quality issues likely because the MB SUVs are built in the USA, whereas the sedan like the E-Class are built in Europe?
i have a GV70 you have to tune it add anti roll bar kit exhaust and change the wheels and tires and you come up with a 500hp x3m killer like mines

Not at all, it wins in maybe having more power and that's about it, the GV70 DECIMATES in every other aspect. From the look and feel, to driving and reliability, tech and value.
i will take the GLC 43 AMG and the BMW 3 Series passing at 1:53
Why not glc vs x340i
Not out yet
The Mercedes GLE 43 is so much better than the Cheap Ass Genesis!
80 year old pick that MB interior color 🤣.. I agree
GLC 43 way better
30k gap is not worth it for me. genesis
Can’t stand panoramic roofs.
Youre high if you think this color is not nice. I'm 35 about to buy one with only this color interior
External looks GV70 wins but Quality and Engine both are great but I believe the GLC is slight better.
Sadly, you won't find "quality" on the latest batch of Mercedes products. :(
No AMG without '63', V8s.
Merc team fumbled!
Genesis facelife look better
Battle of the base model Beckies that think they are racecar drivers!
Is this nikka complaining aboit the gv looks
???
GLC wins or save money honda crv sport wins
Your comments on this channel, you must be a Honda dealer 😂😂
@@otdk Save money and crv sportier too! Rdx kills both! No one wants genesis
Poor Hyundai... You can't compary with a Mercedes!!
You have horrible taste if you think Genesis interior color is ugly.
Your side step comment. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! So awesome.
Sorry genesis but against mercedes you got no chance
MERRRRYYY CEEDES TOO MUCH TOP EXPENSIVE 👋👋👋
I like sam betrer than 2 vehicle
This is a joke right? Comping that POS to a Mercedes? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is your money and your taste!!! But……. If the 43 is a challenge for the GV70 what the GLC63 would do to the GV70? Destroy it in very detail!!! The Benz cost more cause is way more advanced actually F1 tech!!! But each is own! Now S Korean vs Germans? Is not exactly a smart comparison! The Audi and BMW are the closest rivals of the GLC and the NX,RDX,QX50 are more direct rivals of the Genesis!!!
Interior Genesis is beautiful exterior Mercedes is better
정작 GV70은 달리기를 못함.
시승해보고 결국 벤츠 GLC43 구입함.
GLC
Genesis looks so boring no soll no agressive so soft and wanna be luxury...I would take the mercedes definitely
I love how the hyundai got smoked and poeple start talking about reliability lol
The gv70 doesn’t share any part with Hyundai
it got smoked because the mercedes costs more with an inferior interior and luxury. What do you mean? There's a massive tradeoff, and it's a 4 cylinder not a v6
@@Playb0ymari the g70 is literally made by hyundai LOL wtf
@@roboticvenom1935 Not the point that I was making.I dont even likes Mercedes but I was just pointing out a fact.
@@alpe6228 Sooo dumb! Do a little research.
Give me the GV70! There is nothin sporty lookin about that glc
Genesis GV 70 vs Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG? I choose Mercedes-Benz. Eventhough I Don't Like GLC
why
The Hyundai lost
After 100k the Hyundai wins.
No Hyundai was racing. :)
Desperate call
