In just six years of existence and four years of production, Genesis has emerged as a formidable luxury manufacturer. Each of the Korean brand's six models (including the GV60, G70, G80, GV80, and G90) delivers style, athleticism, and advanced technology to rival established German and Japanese nameplates. But can the GV70 - which contends in the packed and perilous compact performance luxury SUV segment - push Genesis into a leadership position?
In this in-depth review of the 2022 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport's exterior, interior, and driving dynamics, Miles weighs the Korean crossover against BMW's X3 M40i, Mercedes-AMG's GLC 43, and Audi's SQ5.

Just re-watched, excellent review. I've owned Germans and Jags, they were not problem free. Went Infiniti for a few years, great engines, vey dated style and electronics. Took a GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige for a test drive, traded a Q50 Red Sport on the spot. Love the car, more luxury than sport, mileage is not great but I knew that going in and getting the 3.5 TT. Watch out Deutschland, Genesis is serious...................
Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@MilesPerHr Keep up the great reviews.
The ride quality is good of the gv70?
@@Dashcamfailz Yes, very good and the cabin is quiet
The GV70 and GV80 are making the franchise right now.
Agreed.
These in depth reviews are awesome, gives a nice in depth review and at the end combines it with the perfect POV driving angle
I'm glad you like them!
I've watched A LOT of car reviews. I wanted to comment because your reviews are some of the best and most related. Job well done and thank you!
Thank you for that encouragement!
we have here in Germany Genesis this year too and I look at the price for the Sport with the 2.5 L 4 Cyl. and nice options only $ 70k, it´s $ 10k - 15k cheaper as the German cars.
Great video milesperhr
How did you calculate 11 MPGs? By using the trip computer or by your own calculations? I find it hard to believe it is averaging half the quoted rate as all the other reviews of this vehicle have been inline with the manufacturers estimates.
Great Review especially on details. Personality and presentation by Reviewer is very pleasant! Good humor. Especially Excellent with care DETAILS. This Sport SUV checks ALL OF MY BOXES.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Genesis GV70 brilliant car. Germany SUV slayer.
I live in Russia. I love watch ur channel and teach english hearing u speak because your dialect is perfect on my perception. Sry for my english)))
Thank you for watching and commenting! I'm glad my videos are helpful - your english is great 👍

I wouldn’t mind hearing that exhaust note every day.
Best review I’ve seen on the gv70
Great review!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Subscribed
Thank you for subbing!
I’m definitely getting this💯❤️🙏
Same soon as I can find one at near msrp red on red spots prestige.
Bentley in the front, Macan in the back. Change my mind.
Love it!!!!!!!
More like Kia in the back🥴
Hey team,
Thx for the review - Well done!!
The GV70 offers a wide variety of modes for the driver to enjoy.
As I approach 60 yrs old (and I'm a bit of a car guy) I totally love the luxury & comfort side of vehicles BUT also what to turn it up when I can. This GV70 3.5TT should really be about $20-$50K higher priced. It simply does everything really well and is 2nd to none is this segment when it comes to ride quality, comfortness, quietness all while surrounding the occupants with massive luxury features.
It is called the baby Bentayga for many reasons. It is so quiet & refined when you want it to be - When you're stuck in traffic or going no where fast. My wife asked me if it was an EV as it was so quiet. Those double paned windows really make a huge difference. Plus the massaging seat is nice!!
When you want to drive spiritedly switch it into Sports + mode and you easily hear the roar of the engine and the sweet exhaust notes while enjoying the rear wheel driving bias sporty experience.
In comparison, the RDX A Spec it an excellent top rated vehicle but that engine is super noisy vs the GV70 and its a much more stiffer ride. Plus I wasn't impressed with the 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds to the GV 70's of 5.7 (4.9 seconds in the V-6). And the RDX weighs 450 lbs less.
Its the luxury components/options, higher tech, standard features & options, the ride quality (can be extremely quiet & smooth AND aggressive and sweet exhaust notes) that makes this GV 70 THE clear winner in segment.
Overall the CLEAR winner for me the is the GV70 3.5TT in Sport trim level. I'll take it in that Gorgeous Mauna Red exterior colour with 2 tone interior combination please:-)
In Canada that full load price is $76,500 plus taxes. The F&PDI is included in that price. No discounts from that at all.
The electrified version is coming out in 2023 but in Canada the top trim level will be about $25K-$35K higher cost to the ICE version. Besides its NO Gas requirement the EV version is a littler quicker with 0-60 times 4.3 to 4.6 seconds. For me I'd put down my deposit yesterday if the EV version had a time in the 3.5 second range. It will have a 500 kms range on a full charge.
PS - Lots of dealer problems with Genesis in the States. Here in Vancouver No problems at all. I have 3 dealers within 40 minutes and the nearest is 15 mins away.
Cheers all!!
Don’t know how ur not at 1m subs already
This engine should be in the
Acura TL Type-S. I just know that Honda
10sp would go nicely with it.
There's like 3x as many cars that directly compete in this segment besides "BMW, Mercedes, and Audi". It's a pet peeve of mine how everyone of these "automotive media types" just brings these three manufacturers up in the small compact luxury segment when there's wayy more out there.
Yes, I know they're easy, "sexy targets" as industry benchmarks but come on, let's at least make an ATTEMPT to give some comparison attention to Infiniti, Lexus, Acura, Lincoln, Jaguar, Cadillac, Land Rover, Alfa Romeo, and Volvo who have all been making some great luxury crossovers in the last few years that compete in this category.
Indeed all those brands have competitors. I didn't list them for 2 reasons: 1) Genesis is benchmarking the Germans, so it's rational to measure the GV70 against the cars its aiming to beat
2) The competitive discussion would be a 10 minute segment if I attempted to list ALL the vehicles vying for buyers in this niche.
I own a GV70. It's only been 3 days of ownership but I found that you can change the brake feel in settings. I have to double check if it changes automatically when you switch to sport mode. But by default it seems as though brake feel in settings is set to "Comfort". I will change it to a different setting and see what happens whenever it stops raining here might not be for a while.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing that 😊
How is the Voice Recognition for a phone call? It's so bad in my Acura RDX, i'm looking to replace it with a GV70
@@mjohn001 I own a Genesis G70 2019 and the voice recognition is good not great. I have yet to see a great voice recognition system on anything. If I was a betting man, I would bet on the GV70 being a little better then my car.
@@Fairburne69 Thx for the reply. The Voice commands and recognition on my GMC Canyon are exceptional, which make it that much worse when i drive my wife's RDX! :(
@@mjohn001 It’s very good…the BMW I came out of is better info package.
Really it's so luxurious
Iam 3 Rd one to watch
I love this car but when with the gv80 Prestige for its style, design, and size
Yeah, they're all good !
I have a 3.5T sport prestige in Cardiff green and vanilla beige. The paddles sort of do lock you into manual. When I use them the car stays in manual for quite some time before moving back to drive. I often find myself rotating the gear knob to D to force it to go back to full auto.
I will get my 3.5T sport prestige in green matte, I haven't seen it yet, how it looks with that color ?
I noticed this during my test drive. It was very awkward with the genesis rep in the car. Lol.
Try pulling and holding the right paddle for a couple seconds. Let me know if that works?
@@rashakurdi9934 looks amazing! I’m sure you’ll love it
@@fitunity I’ll try that out. I think it’s more reluctant to go back to auto in sport+ than in sport
@@fitunity good news. Holding up the right paddle shifts it back to D. Good find!
Korea Macan Nice Design~
will you be doing a review for the g70 sport?
I've done POV Test and Night drives of the G70 Sport, but I may not have a chance to do a Review.
12:05 the pause he makes after saying 14½in and before saying infotainment system is really funny to me for obvious reasons but maybe I'm the only one
Hey man have u heard about the car called lucid air?
Yep! I hope I'll have a chance to review one soon!
how did u get all digital gages? all the ones iv seen in the US are half digital half analog
It's on the top trims.
GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige vs 22 RDX? Thoughts pls
I prefer the GV70's design (inside and out), it's infotainment UI, and straight-line acceleration. Prefer the RDX's steering and weight transfer in corners
The drive knob and infotainment knob should be reversed in position. The info knob closer to the arm rest would be better.
My wife owned a BMW 330xi for 6 years. The arrogant and incredibly expensive dealer service totally turned us off for German cars.
Hey man!
👋
Genesis is the future
Please continue to drive the vehicles hard.
10.9 mpg 🤠
The car may be nice but the reviews never mention the horrendous service issues that are preventing people like me from buying this car.
Rear door can be opened automatically by setting it up on the infotainment. Once it senses your near irl open up 😉
Driving Impressions on Public Roads
25:08 - 0-60 run on a boulevard road
27:01 - 65 MPH speed limit - gauge display visible
27:09 - Multiple passes from the right lane of the road
27:46 - HUD showing actual speed
29:58 - Driver ahead (Honda Accord) signaled to move out of passing lane but had to cancel because you sped past them on the right lane
You may want to find a test drive route that will keep you clear of road fines and consider obscuring gauge information in your post production work. If you were cited with the above observations AND recording your actions for social media, you could see a possible reckless driving charge. Like your content but you seem overly comfortable compared to others reviewing cars.
It seems like I've been erasing this truck out of my subscriptions feed for over a week.
commenting on a video about it is not helping chief
How can you drive this without no ego ? 🤣
Road noise?
Right on par with segment rivals. Not $100K luxury car quiet, but still restrained
Present🥳
not bad for the first compact SUV from Genesis.
11 mpg = lead foot.
Love the car overall but 11 MPG? Yikes…
The MPG shocked me.
Genesis > Germans
lol good one..that made me laugh.
Agreed. My wife owned a BMW 330xi for 6 years. The arrogant and incredibly expensive dealer service totally turned us off for German cars.
No wireless CarPlay in 2022. 🤯
It's a bummer - along with USB-A ports exclusively.
First
But Genesis has bad reliability on CR
The GV70 has been out less than a year. CR has no reliability data. But the Mercedes GLC gets 1 star.
@@softwarephil1709 Genesis, Hyundai and Kia are consistently at the top of the list for initial quality. That is a very good sign. We all know BMW and Mercedes will likely never get there.
Man, those are the ugliest tail pipes I have seen. It is like having a giant wart on one's face and the "studded" rims are also really tacky plus the stock Michelins indicate this is a not a performance oriented vehicle.
I can live with the pipes though I like the pipes on the 2.5T model better, but you are so right about those gaudy rims. If I went with this top trim, I would request the other 19” wheels as they simple look much nicer in my opinion
i love the rims lol
forget the gv70
