The 2024 Genesis G70 2.5T Is A Legitimate Compact Luxury Sports Sedan From Korea

- As the 3rd best selling model in the #Genesis lineup, the 2024 #GenesisG70 gets a new turbocharged engine under the hood this year. Pumping out 300 HP, this new 2.5L Turbo engine gives the #G70 the most standard HP in its class and with a RWD platform with available AWD, this vehicle remains a serious player in the compact sport sedan segment.

I think the refresh on the G70 looks worlds better than the older one.
nahh
I would have to disagree, the taillights are the best angle on the 22+ refresh, but front is more cohesive on the 2019-2021 models.
the older model just look gorgeous
Agree. The old one looks like a car from the 2010s. The new one looks like a 2020s car, which they are.
I agree. I think the front looked really generic on the pre-refresh G70. I really love the slightly outrageous grill on the new one, especially with no front plate on it. Prefer the refresh headlights also. The only thing I don't care for is the black plastic diffuser out back. I don't think it looks especially premium. But overall, I'm happy with the styling. One commenter said the pre-refresh looks like some generic sedan out of Grand Theft Auto.
I have no issues with my 8 inch display haha I don’t really understand the obsession with bigger and bigger and more and more screens
Same. The 10.25 is more than you need. It’s for music and navigation. We don’t need a TV screen in the car.
Well, they have to have something over the old one.😂
Love that blue on white spec
I think the reason the new Genesis design language on this vehicle looks a bit "off" because it wasn't designed from the ground up with the new language. The side/main body is still the old design lines, so it doesn't look as cohesive as the other models.
Actually, all Genesis vehicles are RWD architecture. In other markets, the Kia K9 also is a RWD sedan and the Mohave SUV is RWD based as well.
K9?
@@richardmichael59 Yes, K9. It's what they used to call K900 in the US. It's since been heavily updated for Asia.
I TRULY miss my leased 2019 Genesis G70 V6 RWD. It was an awesome vehicle which did NOT need AWD and I feel the styling on the earlier models is much better than the 2022 refresh.
Well, it's a matter of taste, of course. BTW, in the snow, my AWD is a must.... like a tank
It's strange the US doesn't get the full digital cluster. Other markets have had it since 2018. Also, you can see in the video, the V6 had the napa leather package. That pattern on the 2.5T was the one used for the regular leather. Just LOVE this car! Still a good value and a great driving car!
Dont want digital.
From 2019-2021, you could get a loaded base engine model, only things missing were the Brembo brakes and adaptive suspension (and power trunk for 20-21 models). Price was also fantastic, just above $40K fully loaded, but now $50K and under equipped, and even on the V6 no more heated rear seats and adaptive headlights, value isn’t what it used to be. I would have to agree, the 2019-21 models looked better on the outside too, though I can appreciate the full LED exterior lights.
I think the current design is spot on. It’s unique and modern without looking like it’s trying too hard or looking weird for the sake of attempting to be different. It’s distinctively genesis and communicates a familial design language. This car had few downsides tbh, i had one for teo weeks and i loved it! If they give it a full digital instrument cluster it would be 100%, but im expecting big upgrades for the next generation, They typically listen to what buyers want.
This thing is really really beautiful.
Marvelous content with my favorite vehicle.
I previously preferred the pre-refresh model, but when i saw a new one in person i decided i liked the update, especially the interior
Glad it surpassed the track test, but I am satisfied with the 4-cylinder to make it to the store and back. I really like my genesis
Definitely love the look of this model with the big superman grille
Spot on review. Bought a 24 2.5T sport prestige in Makalu grey - black seat & red stitching. Stg wheel just perfect, yes flat bottom would be nice. Feels solid and well built. Some nice touches like the passenger seat control in easy reach of the driver. So glad Genesis still making sport sedans. Stinger would have been my first choice if still around last month. One perk. Comes with concierge service - they pick up the car at your home/work and leave a loaner. Then afterwards return the car and pick up the loaner. Yes the back seat tight, so is the Lexus IS. This could have been a sharp coupe if Genesis ever made one. I prefer coupes as it’s just me & the misses. Oh and bought a AAwireless from Amazon which I stuck (dbl sided tape) off on the side and recommend.
I very slightly prefer the new generation over the pre-refresh. Both look awesome, but I'm a sucker for the the split headlight design and love that they took the license place holder off the the trunk area and put it lower near the bumper.
It still looks great
Sorry to all the “Genesis is Hyundai junk” commenters who failed miserably as usual to convince us that they’re poorly made products when facts show otherwise
All the Koreans I know seem to go German for some reason?
Most Asians seem to upscale German. Maybe just in my area
@@davevolz6138the Germans are still better but you’d expect that
It’s no different than calling Audi a Volkswagen
I have a buddy that had a 2.0t G70 and now a 2.5t GV80, and has had zero issues. Also, now that they now have dedicated Genesis dealerships with no Hyundai attachment dealer, the sales and service experience is now much better.
@@Stardust51is probably the reason the Caddy CT4 and CT5 also don't sell much.
he wont stop until every car has a garish 20 inch screen
Just makes me happy I still have my stinger 2.5T fully loaded.. it was around 35k. The price of this is crazy.
Loaded 2024 G70 3.3T AWD with white exterior and black interior is $57,700 including destination.
Loaded 2024 M340i AWD with white exterior and black interior is $70,620 including destination.
Base model 2024 M340i RWD with NO options is $58,595 with destination.
Still a great deal. Comes with the long warranty and will be much less expensive to own long term
For my money. I’d take this. The m340i is off the table because it’s rwd for that price. You’ll get no where in the winter with that. And 13g more for the awd bmw is a no because I wouldn’t have 13g more. Lol
I have a 2021 Genesis G70 Sport AWD. Fully loaded it was 51. Coming to the end of the lease in the coming months and debating if I go for a 2024 G70, or swap for the BMW M240i. I have 30k on my Genesis and it's been pretty decent. Only issues is the dark trim has a weird buildup on it from car washes and looks bad. I agree I like the exterior of the predesign as well, but the screen really dates the interior.
Hanging on to my 2019 3.3 Twin Turbo AWD...
I’d buy one of these, if I were in the market. Only sat in one in dealership, but really liked it. Love the exterior styling. Regarding quality, our experience with our Hyundai Palisade has been top notch (41k miles, 3.5 years), so not at all concerned. People dismissing Hyundai/Genesis quality haven’t owned one in recent years. Now the dealership experience… it’s not yet at the level of a Honda dealership experience (I’m being a little polite here).
I own one and love it but you’re not wrong about the dealership experience fortunately I haven’t had to go back since buying it and I have 40k miles on it.
Agreed. Everyone dismissing Hyundai has never bought one and just says they are junk whenever they get a chance. It's like a your mom joke at this point. A silly and dated response
The same is true with my Telluride. I love it and the quality is fantastic. But, like Hyundai, the dealer experience is lacking, especially at the price point of the SX Telluride.
I stopped going to the Kia dealership
@@josephalba978I'm to that point with the Hyundai dealer - I will only go there if I must.
Two months ago I bought a 24' CT4 Cadillac Sport with the Onyx Package. It came with 19' wheels blue Brembo brake calipers and run flat tires. One would have to look twice to distinguish it from a Blackwing.
Could u do a review on the 2024 hundai sonata n line
Great review but I do need to correct one thing you mentioned. I just bought a 2.5 T last week with AWD, and it DOES have the coasting feature.
Luv this! ❤️
I own a 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T which I purchased April 2019.
Currently over 127k. Other than replacing two sets of tires and replace rear brakes, no issues.
I don't Baby My Baby!
One thing that I find funny, are people and their wish list.
I wish this car had this, I wish it had that!
Most wish list people are not even in the market to purchase a new vehicle 😂😂😂
Yes they do offer the blind spot cams i have it on the sport prestige 3.3t
The 10.25" display in the middle is fine it got wireless CarPlay & Android Auto for 2024. It also would've helped if it got a full 12.3" digital gauge cluster for 2024 to replace the asymmetrical half analog & half digital gauge cluster which does have the Blind Spot View Monitor on the right side of the cluster when you have the 360° camera system
I’ve always liked these I like the pre face lift version better I’m not to crazy about the headlights a full digital display would be nice but I think there kinda getting out of hand with these big ass screens just stuck on the dash but that’s what all the carmakers are doing
I prefer the look of the pre refresh also… especially at the rear.
Very much interested in the option for the G70 Hybrid. Not fully electric.
Love my G7022, ready for a G70 Hybrid
How’s the drive compare to 2023? I like the rims more on 23
Genuinely confused by the 0-60 time of this G70 2.5T. Caranddriver tested an AWD G80 2.5T and measured a 5.5 sec run. That vehicle weighs several hundred lbs more than the G70. Thoughts?
C/D tests on a drag strip with a 1 ft rollout, so in their testing im sure they're similar
The 155 top on the these sounds good too..which if im not mistaken is the 3.3t does 157 or if you get the rwd version think its 167
@@tommygeary1931 the rollout was before 2019.. they have omitted that since then which includes their G80 test. .. Go check it out you will see the note in the test data.
@ch6inre6ction11 .. it could be a myriad of things but these cars should be quicker in the RWD models and I don't know why these testers are always grabbing these AWD because it hinders acceleration for this brand and most others .. these don't have the ability of the German AWD systems which help with acceleration.
@@tommygeary1931what’s is 1 ft rollout?
I had been waiting a long time for reviews on this, considering purchase. Why it took Genesis until Feb. to get this minimal refresh on the road is hard to fathom.
Glad I ran out of patience long ago and bought an AWD Ionic 5 as this car's acceleration seems not significantly better than with old 2 liter. Too thirsty as well compared to this engine in the Stinger and K5 GT probably due to the big wheels.
When will you be testing the 2024 BMW M35 X1 ?
19:00 please correct me if I'm wrong but only the highest trim on the 6 cylinder is available with an adjustable suspension option
Maybe soon, I will buy this as my daily sedan.
Dude you say that about every car on every car reviews video LMAO
How many cars will you buy?? 😂😂
@@porfiriato84A lot, Just dreaming too
I love my 23 3.3 t sport prestige its a fun car n i own corvettes a 24 x5 a 24 Rubicon 4xe and its fun its kinda a sleeper because no one really knows what it is until it takes off 😂
You can turn the stability control and traction control all the way off, though you probably won't want to very often.
G70 electrified in this blue color would be nice
Last time I checked the Infiniti Q50 base pure model has a 3.0L turbo charge V6 with 300 hp, so the Genesis G70 2.5 matches the Infiniti in horsepower but the Hyundai Genesis G70 has more torque than the Infiniti
can you do a review on a 330e?
The cars in Korea get a full digital display why doesn’t America get it?
Stop crying about the little screen
Probably to maintain price point(s) with some of the other changes/upgrades they made.
The '24 sold in Canada have full digital cluster.
@@bigden2755 Right but you can't get RWD on any model as far as I'm aware plus the base trim there is significantly better equipped than the one in the USDM.
Still no full digital display (old analog gauges were better than this new half one) and now it’s $50,000 for a 4 cylinder and nearly $60,000 usd for a 3.3. That is insane! The entire point of genesis was value and now they don’t offer that anymore. I’d get a BMW for that price.
Not everyone wants a digital display with a shitty bezel that will looks outdated a few years down the line.
@@MikeJohnson-ej4ocI’d usually say the same thing but it’s a little different in this case. First of all, the non digital dash already looks crappy. Secondly, the digital display has been available in Korea since, idk, before the refresh.
It is a value for this package on a bmw will be close to 60k. No power steering and no ventilated seats.
@@MikeJohnson-ej4oc the gauges in the first gen were perfect. The ones in the new one are hideous and that’s all you can get. I would even take Hyundais display copy and pasted in there over this one.
@@kennethsmith6899 $2,000 more for a BMW with a B58 and zf 8 speed? I’d definitely take that instead then.
3:02 Kawaahahaha!!! Sounds like the song down with the sickness by rock band Disturbed
I still have my Kia Stinger GT. Those wheels will look good on my car.
Does the 2.5t actually get the LSD? The new engine would be compelling if it did because @savagegeese showed the open diff rwd just spin the inside wheel. Neither the prior 2.0 G70 or 2.5 stinger got the LSD. Stunning design imho.
I can hardly tell of how you can actually wear a helmet in a race track while driving the 2.5T Genesis G70. Much improvement of your driving skills is very unique and this car is about to become an Audi TT. Awesome review Sofyan! You deserve an award 🥇
Perfect sub 50/60k car depending on engine choice. It looks great, there’s tech but not too much and it appears to drive well.
A similar 4cyl Audi or BMW is gonna be over $50k. Even an equivalent Lexus ES is gonna be at or above $50k. Car prices aren’t what they used to be.
5.9 to 60 is slower than I expected. Would have though mid 5s. Beautiful interior though
didn’t he say they don’t have a claimed 0-60 for this one yet? They claim a 5.9 second 0-60 in the 2.0T so maybe he just didn’t update it since they didn’t claim one yet
@@mattbrown942 he did the 0-60 test himself with his equipment in the video
@@Historicallygamified oh lol i hadn’t made it that far 😂
There's no way it's that slow. The old 2.0T was that slow! It should be hitting 60 between 5.0-5.4 at worst.
@@chrisa9857 My 2.0t is right around the 6 second mark but i’m near sea level and he’s at altitude in this vid. Also with the engineering of these cars you can’t spoil up boost before launch like you can in audi’s or bmw’s. You can rev but there’s no boost until a second after you hit the pedal. If they fixed that it would quickly drop off a couple tenth of seconds off the 0-60 times
This makes the 2024 Sonata N line a way more better value
Different segment... Sonata is FWD vs G70 RWD or AWD that is different in terms of driving dynamics. And materials of each are way more different
doesn't the Integra Type-S have more HP? feels like the same segment
Dam should I get the 2.5 or 3.3? I don’t think the 0-60 will be much of a difference.
Its non-ricy and is actually luxurious
Acura ILX take notes
Non-ricy?
@@joedoe7839
Thats what I wrote
And its actually luxurious
Not sure why they didn't do 12-inch display for odometer as an optional package. To me that's the deal breaker as our other Hyundai vehicle has full digital version, and this makes the driving experience not consistent across the family.
Seems like a good prospect if you can buy one of these used for 10% off
good looking car
9:05 what do you mean? Power tilt telescope steering wheel has been standard on Mercedes for decades.
Refreshed front and rear look way better
For some reason unknown to me, the design language for Genesis is off on the front end of this model. Just my opinion. I mean, its okay, but visually it just doesn't seem settled. I don't know what it is...
It's because it's not an all new model but rather a refresh using the newer design language on the front/rear while the side profile is still the old design language. It's incongruent.
I love this car because i own the the V6 AWD SP version. I wish handling were like an BMW. The back seat room is totally cramped.
Try using Launch mode for 0-60 times
Nice colour but looks like a bubble, pre refreshed looks better
For the increasecsost and refresh they should have carried over the gv70 interior design
I like it
Do it burn oil
With a ecu tune could be a fun car.
I get the feeling that Genesis invests substantially more into the G80 than the G70. Which, duh, it’s a more expensive vehicle - but some of the cost cutting (or outdatedness) of this car is a bit surprising.
That is ironic if they do because they aren’t really even building the G80. I can’t find any at all. Only a few EV demos
Better off waiting 2-3 years getting it as CPO used.
Yep Hyundai depreciation rocket
Discounts should be good getting it brand new.
@@layne4376All Genesis CPO vehicles are backed by Hyundai Motor America and include a 6-year / 75,000-mile extended CPO Limited Warranty and a 10-year / 100,000-mile CPO Powertrain Limited Warranty.
That's why he said CPO not just a used Genesis.
@layne4376 I don't know about you but, my G70 3.3t sports prestige has a 10year/100k miles warranty and on top of that, I paid for an extended warranty 4years/60k miles. That gives me 14 years, 160k miles coverage to everything.
@layne4376 my sister bought her 2017 elantra brand new for 13k, msrp was 19k. She got all kinds of rebates plus a nice dealer discount. 6 years later and her car has never needed ANYTHING.
I’m probably in the minority that think this is the best looking of all of the Genesis vehicles. The curves of the design work better than the sharper lines on the other models. Also a bit disappointed that Genesis didn’t also swap the 3.3T V6 for the 3.5T V6
I still like sedans! 👍🏽
I do like the design. Too bad it doesn't come in a hybrid or all-electric engine. I'm driving alot daily, and SoCal gas prices aren't going down anytime soon.
Dear Genesis,
Please give us the G70 Shooting Brake.
Sincerely, the US Market
It's not coming here dude.
@@porfiriato84 obviously.
Nice
People gonna complain that it doesn't have digital dash, to having great value for money outweighs any little screen
From the side, it looks identical to a 2019 Buick Regal
I would definitely buy 2-3 years used and let someone else take the depreciation hit.
I like the older look better
I really dont like the new front end and headlights. The porportions look off. The headlights needed to be larger if they wanted just two bars
Competitive at mid-40k for the 4 popper, and $50k-ish for the 6 cylinder, but in truth there are better options at actual pricing.
100% right about the older look being much better than this “refresh.”
better options like what?
It's interesting that a base Jetta 1.5t is one second slower that this . Not bad eh ?
Your camera doesn’t do well with cars with dark interiors
With 50% increase in insurance cost in 2023 is why made the choice to go with a SUV. I don't really care for it.
I'm hoping the actual 0-60 is around 5 seconds flat.
I say that because the Sonata Nline and K5 GT can do 0-60 in 5 seconds flat with a 290hp and 311lb ft version of this engine along with a DCT. They also weigh about 3500-3600lbs. I imagine the G70 2.5T weighs around 200-300lbs more, but I assume the AWD/RWD traction would help it launch harder.
I'll be a bit disappointed if the car does anything more than 5.5 seconds when caranddriver or motortrend tests it. I know not everything is numbers, but this engine always impresses in any car its put in. Everything from a 3500lb FWD sedan to a 4900lb AWD luxury SUV, the engine provides a good amount of power and decent MPG close to the European cars, unlike the larger V6 engines. It's also port and direct injection which is nice.
Caranddriver got 0-60 in 5.6 sec and 1/4-Mile in 14.1 sec @ 99mph for the GV80 that weighs 500lbs more than a G70 AWD. I expect good numbers from the G70 2.5T
Ancient as hell
My 2011 Infiniti G37 non turbo can do 0-60 in 5.3 sec. It was $35k new loaded.
.... and ??
@@bigden2755 genesis sucks.
@@bigden2755 genesis is POS.
*5.9* sec. 0-60?? My 2017 Audi A4 with a 252 hp. 2-liter turbo 4 was tested at *5.2* sec. by Car & Driver.
Love this car I feel like a maxima is faster tho
I like the G70 one of my favorite car of all time
Bentley inspired blue 😂
The engine is a bit underwhelming. 300hp/311lb-ft 0-60 5.9s. Competes directly with Cadillac CT4-V (non Blackwing) on price which gives you 325hp/380lb-ft 0-60 4.8s. But if you don't care about that, the Genesis does have a nicer interior.
Pretty sure Genesis does offer a digital Camaro mirror, just not the G70
Where is the full digital display? Looks dated.
Apparently, it is now, in Canada....
I like the new refresh look, gives a Bentley look. It sucks that they they don't make the dash digital!
They did for the '24 top trim sold in Canada ...

@@MP-oc5sp Well, I own a '23 half cluster but I don't really look at it since I have HUD
I finally saw the refreshed model, and although looks are subjective I think it looks great. For the money, you can't get anything from BMW, MB or Audi as trssted. They're all going to be in the mid to high 50's for what you get in the G70 for high 40's.
Did the 230i die??
@@porfiriato84 not in the same class, hence no one mentioned the A3, CLA, Integra or tweener CT4 either.

that grill is a deal breaker...
C&D got 5.8 seconds 0-60 in the old 2.0T. No way is that 300 hp/311 ft lb 2.5 that slow. I would think it would be hitting in lower 5 seconds.
