Happy Weds to everyone! Hope you all are having a fantastic week! Don't forget if you want to submit your entry to potentially win a BMW M2 CS and support a great cause go to www.omaze.com/RRBMWM2. We've been waiting all year to drive this new GV70 and it certainly didn't disappoint. When Genesis releases an all-electric version of this car, you better believe its going to challenge the Tesla Model Y head on. Its our new favorite pick for now until we drive the upcoming Lexus NX next month!
@Redline Reviews, I can sum up the new 2022 Lexus NX for you. I’m no journalist but I can confidently say that the NX that no ones even driven yet is already outclassed. Why? Because the nx is just a rav4, which in itself, is just a Toyota, and being a Toyota means it’s automatically outclassed in every comparison metric. Name one Toyota or Lexus product that has ever proclaimed or currently proclaims the title “benchmark” in any segment. Compact sedan benchmark? Nope Midsize sedan benchmark? nope Compact cuv benchmark? Nope 3 row suv benchmark? nope Minivan benchmark? Nope Pickup truck benchmark? Nope Luxury SUV benchmark?; nope Subcompact benchmark? Nope Luxury sedan benchmark? Nope The answer to this question is that you can’t name one because it doesn’t exist 😆. The nx is front wheel drive, because it’s just a rav4. That automatically puts it at a disadvantage vs others. It doesn’t have a torque vectoring AWD that’s any better than SH AWD. It doesn’t have a fast shifting transmission like Honda’s 10 speed or the ZF 8 speed. It doesn’t have a double wishbone front suspension like other players. The AWD system won’t make the back end step out. It’s not gonna have any sort of rear bias. And the power trains being offered, while there are quite a few, are just nothing short of an utter disappointment: 2.5L I4 203hp (8.2 seconds) 2.4L Turbo I4 275hp (6.8 seconds) 2.5L I4 hybrid 240hp (7.3 seconds) 2.5L I4 PHEV 300hp (6 seconds) The performance Lexus quotes clearly shows that It still cannot compete in this segment. The new turbo sounds like it is good power on paper, but so is a cheaper Mazda CX-5 turbo or even a Hyundai Santa Fe / Kia Sorento turbo… the CX5 and Everyone else will run circles around the nx all day. Now are the nx hybrids and PHEVs fuel efficient? Without question yes. Will this be reliable? Also unequivocally yes. But those things are not really important here for a luxury brand especially when you spend 50-60K. If you want fuel economy and reliability, go buy a Prius, RAV4, Camry, or corolla for that. Even if you somehow value a luxury brand with fuel efficiency and reliability, you have to give up way too much in many areas. You miss out on the key aspects of a luxury cuv with the nx. Whereas with the other competitors, you don’t really give up anything. Compared to the competition like the cx5 turbo, Rdx, gv70, x3, glc, xc60, q5, all of them absolutely destroy the new nx in just about every category shown below. no ifs ands buts maybes ors what-ifs: Exterior design Interior design Materials quality Fit and finish Luxury Technology Handling Performance Comfort Braking suspension polish Chassis dynamics weight balance The nx isn’t even going to score high or even above average in any of these categories because they know they can’t. The NX is not well rounded and never will be. Or as Alex on autos would say, “the Honda Accord of luxury cuvs”. So there literally is no compelling reason to choose an NX over the other options. Heck even the new Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage and the new Honda CRV are honestly more exciting products than the new NX. So bottom line, prepare to be disappointed with the new Lexus NX. The gv70 is what I call “the true new Lexus NX”. The gv70 is still better than the new nx and I can bet 100% that the NX is not gonna be a luxury cuv benchmark because Toyota and Lexus know that they are incapable of such task. So, Redline Reviews, I honestly wouldn’t even bother wasting your hard earned time with the new 2022 Lexus NX. If you’re given the opportunity to drive the new NX, I’d just completely pass on it
@@competitiveautomotive5457 agreed. My v6 Camry will smoke any new nx lol. Also, you sound like a journalist the way you use those terms like double wishbone front suspension, fast shifting transmission or torque vectoring AWD I feel like the only Toyota’s that I consider competitive are the v6 Camry, is500, rc f, lc500, Mirai, and the gx460. All other Toyota Lexus products are just laughable IMO
@@naveenthemachine thank you. I just watch a lot of car videos so I gained knowledge But yeah the LX570 is good too albeit too expensive. Also I consider that Gs F, LS460 and LS600hL are also competitive items albeit they don’t exist anymore
@@competitiveautomotive5457 ah right. I forgot about those models haha. The ls460 and 600hl especially are the best Lexus sedans ever made. Even the Gs f is great because of its screaming v8 and chassis dynamics
I tried parking next to a white GV70 2.5T today to snap a picture of... Then I realized the owner was walking towards it as I was parking...add to the fact they parked the GV70 far away from all the other cars. Yes it was a bit awkward 😅🤦♂️
Things that r missing on the Lexus, I found on the Genesis. I test drove all of their cars, and the driving dynamics are overall much much better than what Lexus are currently offering rn. Except for the LC and the LS. G90 is really dated and a new gen is coming soon.
If this doesn't get them the sales volume they need to get their own dealerships built, nothing will. I've seen it a few times on the road and it's gorgeous.
These cars are selling . I think Genesis aren’t putting enough cars out. Demand is higher than the supply. May be the dealership can’t handle more of these cars and also Consumers are purchasing at mark up prices.
@@MrGeezil uh, you just described the car industry as a whole. There's this little thing called a global pandemic/semiconductor chip shortage still going on.
@@theMLBfan I already know that but remember before the global shortage of chips, cars like the Kia Telluride was selling over MRSP. It’s not just shortage of chip.
@@MrGeezil The GV70 and GV80 are flying off the lots, they can't get enough of them. It's so funny that I've already seen a GV80 and a GV70 and it took forever to see a G80 on the road. For Asian luxury it is Lexus and Genesis for me. Acura is trying. Infiniti is all but dead at this point.
People Hyundai/Genesis has arrived and other than not having a bonkers engine with over 500hp which most people won't buy anyway these vehicles are top notch........Watching these cars get better and better is exciting honestly ....great work Sofyan as usual keep up the great work.
Not if you want the car to be reliable .......People that go to work everyday would love a fast car but not over the benefit of having a lower horsepower car that will run properly every time they turn the key
I actually would get this and pretty much any other Genesis product. They are stepping it up big-time. Their Interiors have better quality than Mazdas and Mazda's have really good quality Interiors.
The wisest thing that should be on every wise individual's list is to invest in different stream of income and don't depend on the government to bring in money especially now the pandemic is hitting the economy
The GV70 is a great looking crossover, this may be a vehicle I may consider once my warranty expires on my current vehicle. Hyundai/ Genesis has really stepped up their game. Hyundai/Genesis Htrac awd is great in snow as well.
Genesis (and Hyundai/Kia) use ventilated seats, not cooled seats. I had a previous gen G80 and it was the same way. Same as my current Accord also. My wife has a Chrysler Pacifica, which is a piece of junk, but it does have legit cooled seats and they are incredible compared to my Accord and old Genesis. Ventilated seats only pull heat/moisture away from your body rather than actually blowing cold air out through the seat perforations like real cooled seats do. It's pretty interesting if you look at the list of which brands offer ventilated vs cooled seats.
@@mattspeer01 Sir, it’s all the same. Some seat designs offer cooler air than others. Different brands give the same exact feature(s) a different name. Usually the luxury brands will offer a cooler air condition seat with more powerful motors for a more affective flow of air. Genesis just didn’t fully cross their “T” here, that’s all.
Excellent review. Very well done. Keep up the excellent work Redline. It is nice to get an unbiased, well thought out review from someone who has driven all the major players in the class. Thanks.
@@FLAKKU03 actually, we currently own 2006 Hyundai Tucson (Gv70 will replace), 2012 Hyundai Azera and my 2019 Genesis G70 . We did have a fourth, 2007 Hyundai Accent, but we sold it to our oldest son after purchasing the Genesis G70 😁😀😁 Hyundai/Genesis make great vehicles. 😁😀😄😎😎😎
@@FLAKKU03 Sounds like a smart man, unlike you and whatever is in your garage. Probably some German car lifted on jacks because it is undriveable and falling apart.
@@mattspeer01 you are "almost" smart. Currently I drive 2019 VW Passat, but it's my business car. And I said "almost" because no any issue with the car so far, so sorry, but you're wrong (for your information: this is European Passat, not the creepy American version). Maybe this will be strange for you but my wife drives 2008 Hyundai Getz. It's like a small tank on wheels. Very simple car made by Hyundai in India.
@@kfx3907 That doesn’t make any sense if they wish to sale the face lifted/refreshed G70 alongside these crossovers. It’s just another lazy attempt from this brand that gets a slap on the wrist simply because of what it is. Lol. Had this been anyone else it would be talked badly about and nobody would let up. Lol
@@mybro727 Many reviewers actually pointed that out in the G70 reviews because the other newer gen Genesis interior are so good but I'm not quite convinced with G70 actually, I like Stinger more, mostly the same car but cheaper, have bigger interior space and looks cooler too. Hopefully Genesis will make proper upgrade with the next gen G70. My 2 cents ...
I agree. This smaller one does look more tasteful. The regular GV80.........I don't know, it just looks kinda ostentatious and odd! Certain angles of the vehicle looks good and eye catching. But it's just not a vehicle I would want at all. But I give props to Hyundai for stepping out there to try. It's a decent debut based on response from those who like it. Hyundai cars to me always felt as though they copycat from other makes. As unappealing as this SUV is to me, I can at least say it is more original than others Hyundai cars.
What a great looking vehicle! I am really impressed with the interior which, to me, looks extremely luxurious and comfortable. I also like the blue which I never thought I would say. Thanks for the in-depth review.
@@NinoNlkkl .....Rip Off...Yes ........piece of crap .....No.......It suffers from German Unnecessary over engineering and they are cutting corners VW, Audi and Porsche alike......but leaps and bounds in front this Genesis.....
I tested one with the matte white paint finish and the blue interior and it was a perfect ride and the power made you just felt like a kid again. I just wish the G70 had the same interior as the GV70 because I test drove that one and it did do better on a winding loop off ramp I tested it on at high speed.
@@kfx3907 I love the current G70 but I hope the next G70 grows to about the size of a K5 or Sonata because the G80 is already bigger than an Avalon and the current G70 is awfully cramped.
Saw G80 and GV80 in person at a parking lot for the first time and I must say the Genesis vehicles look much, much better in person than the videos/photos. GV70 is probably no exception.
Agreed lol. WTF was genesis thinking. I've switched from JDM to KDM and the GV60 just aint it AT ALL. EVERY other Hyundai/kia/genesis I'm fine with. EVEN THE SOUL!!
I have seen a number of reviews on this vehicle and each has struggled to find flaws....according to multiple reviews this car gets a gold star. Thanks for your review I always enjoy them.
Genesis dose have Highway hands free driving assist tho, as well as the auto lane change function. At least in Canada we gets it, I work for Genesis 😂 on Genesis, the safety package is call ADAS , and most of the features come standard too (in Canada)
Well I don’t blame ya. Lexus needs to catch up. Aside from reliability Lexus are behind in all the segments. If you check car and driver website for the rankings of best SUV Lexus RX350 ranks 20th whiles GV70 is 5th. The RX is outdated.
Hyundai is just showing out! 😁😁 This vehicle is so swanky and well finished, it looks like it could easily share space on the showroom floor with a Bentley or a Range Rover. Incredible the accomplishments and accolades Hyundai has earned in such a short period of time. I love the balls and guts Hyundai is displaying these days. Go Hyundai!!!
@@ajevthetruthisthetruthnotc8390… They certainly look great sat on the hard shoulder of motorways or sound absolutely amazing squeaking and rattling back to dealerships😉😉
Wowww... what a show stopper! So amazing!! Absolutely beautiful inside and out. The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding! I would LOVE to own one 100%!! Kia, Hyundai, & Genesis are the vehicles to get!
This alone is proof that the South Koreans are not what they were 10 years ago. They hired the right help whilst maintaining near Lexus reliability. Wake up and do your research people! Genesis has the means to compete with the best from Germany and Japan!
@@MrCarGuy true, but you are undermining korean work ethic and vision. also Sang Yup Lee is korean and he is responsible for most of the latest designs. i really think they are the new japanese. and their improved build quality has nothing to do with albert biermann. they simply gotten better from head to toe. it's remarkable how these are well put together. my mind was blown when i sat on g80 and gv80.
@@djzulumask2138 Well, Genesis sales are tripling this year over previous years, and their selling thousands more units, so they're doing something right.
@@greg.anywhere man do a quick google search and stop pulling numbers out ur ass....I like genesis,specifically this and also the g70 but they ain’t on anyone’s neck....and like I said,sales prove it...ei-numbers don’t lie...
It does have automatic lane change. You have to turn it on. The icon looks like two lanes with arrows up by the tach. Your finger tips have to be touching the wheel. When it knows it's on the highway and all drivers assistance systems on, I've had mine go for over 15 miles on its own. Just make sure your eyes are viable to the guages
The reason why the “cooled” seats didn’t feel all that cold is because the seats aren’t cooled, they’re ventilated. They simply blow air through the little perforations in the leather, but it’s not cooled air. It’s just the air that’s in the cabin. If the air conditioning is on its highest setting, the seats will feel much cooler. Unlike some manufacturers who truly offer cooled seats which have a cooling element for the air, Genesis only offers ventilated seats.
One thing I found out to check for is the plastic creaking of the dash and center console area. I was watching a video where these guys were saying that mercs feel cheap because of the creaky dash. I checked my 2014 kia, and there's no creaking. I still get the tech, and high end stuff, plus a better built car that has only had 2 minor issues, both were under the 5 year warranty.
Lol don't be I own an 18 bentayga this genesis is for poor people that take 80 percent of their wages to pay banks because they live beyond there means
@@mikexcanxjerk exactly, exactly. He sounds like a pathetic lame 😒, and the fact that he felt he had to bring up what he so-called drives shows he’s either lying or such a loser that he needs one to make him feel like he’s somebody.
Hey Sofyan! HDA-II actually does support automatic lane changes; that and the machine-learning algorithm are the biggest primary differences between it & the first iteration of HDA you see across the rest of the Hyundai/Kia lineup.
Y would anybody pay 20k more for a base BMW/ Mercedes, oh that right, just to seem richer. It's all good til it's time for maintenance and repairs with them other brands
I just bought a 2.5t in Barossa Burgundy. The 3.5t is intriguing but price was a bit much- especially given that there aren’t many incentives right now. I did get it for a bit below MSRP and got a reasonable interest rate. I think the 2.5T is very adequate in perf for most. Think I could pull sub 6 0-60 in right conditions.
@Угон Харлеев the new nx interior is fugly. Exterior didn’t change much and is still a good looking car. But the gv70 is strides above the nx. And this is from someone who loves the nx.
@Угон Харлеев it does. That 14 inch screen that’s available on the nx is enticing. But there’s more than just a large screen. The interior design materials quality fit and finish luxury technology are all very important. The gv70 interior is just better in every way Also the nx350 performance is laughable. 275hp and 317lb ft sounds good on paper but unfortunately a cheaper Mazda CX-5 has the same power levels at a lower price and has a nicer interior and handles way better and it’ll eat the nx350 easily. Plus Lexus said it’ll go to 60 in 6.9 seconds Even the most powerful nx is still laughable. A rav4 prime or my v6 Camry performance wise will smoke any new nx and get better fuel efficiency
@Угон Харлеев 0-60 for the new nx is just 6.8 seconds. We already know that. They aren’t going to underrate their engines like the Germans do. On paper it’s not bad but the Mazda CX-5 will be faster have a better transmission, and handle better. Same goes for the Kia Sorento turbo or the Hyundai Santa Fe turbo. But I would just not get the new NX turbo. The only reason I would say otherwise is if it offers a unique power train, such as the v6 out of the Camry or Highlander.
I always question whether or not these reviewers ever actually use "wireless CarPlay" since they ask so much for it. If they did they'd know wireless sucks in cars.
One would wonder how Genesis would be able to top its own game for the next generation/all-new refresh models… Bravo to Genesis designers and engineers!
In love! 🤩🤩 My only complain lol which is nitpicking is the beeping of the infotainment, it’s the same as my Kia Forte. Yes you can turn it off but Audi and other brands have these cool sound affects almost that make it sound more premium, but over all this is a solid winner!!
I'm with you. The GV80 is too much in person, it looks like a car that someone took to a body shop and had them "Make it look like a Bentley". It's too over the top in my opinion.
The 21” wheels drop the EPA fuel economy rating by like 3mpg. It’s not nearly as bad if you select the 19” wheel option. The four cylinder GV70 is pretty decent but I agree the 3.5T is thirsty compared to the European competition.
Think you can do a comparison of the GV70 against the Velar/F-Pace (which for all intents and purposes are the same car) or Stelvio? They're the only four non-German RWD-based offerings in this segment.
Absolutely love the GV70 2.5 GV70 300HP sadly we won't get the 3.5 engine yet (saying it as a german) The price is awesome for what you get A BMW X3 (xDrive 30d 286HP dont mention the m40i 360HP still need 15k-20k for the same setup) with the same setup and engine is like 80k+ € in germany while this masterpiece will be at 54k € full stacked for 2.5 version... Can't wait for the release next month to order one
Sofyan's video is another in a long line of excellent reviews for this vehicle. While currently driving a manual G70, I was looking forward to getting this crossover in 2022. Unfortunately, my Hyundai's dealer's service is proving to be abysmal and I'll be looking elsewhere for a new vehicle when the time comes. Genesis needs their own dealer network.
Happy Weds to everyone! Hope you all are having a fantastic week! Don't forget if you want to submit your entry to potentially win a BMW M2 CS and support a great cause go to www.omaze.com/RRBMWM2.

@@mattspeer01 you are "almost" smart. Currently I drive 2019 VW Passat, but it's my business car. And I said "almost" because no any issue with the car so far, so sorry, but you're wrong (for your information: this is European Passat, not the creepy American version).
Maybe this will be strange for you but my wife drives 2008 Hyundai Getz. It's like a small tank on wheels. Very simple car made by Hyundai in India.
absolutely love how you zoom in for the dash controls and features. so many reviewers don't show how they look and it really helps to see it close up.
This thing has the best interior ever made for the segment and price point. Bravo.
Ya idk why they didn’t put this interior in the refreshed G70. Soooo much better.
@@jjchockey agreed
@@jjchockey I think because 2021 G70 is just a face lift ver.
Maybe next generation of the G70 probably choose this interior
@@kfx3907 That doesn’t make any sense if they wish to sale the face lifted/refreshed G70 alongside these crossovers. It’s just another lazy attempt from this brand that gets a slap on the wrist simply because of what it is. Lol. Had this been anyone else it would be talked badly about and nobody would let up. Lol
@@mybro727 Many reviewers actually pointed that out in the G70 reviews because the other newer gen Genesis interior are so good but I'm not quite convinced with G70 actually, I like Stinger more, mostly the same car but cheaper, have bigger interior space and looks cooler too. Hopefully Genesis will make proper upgrade with the next gen G70. My 2 cents ...
This is better than the GV80 in my opinion even tho it’s smaller.
i think the same too....
Yep
I agree. This smaller one does look more tasteful. The regular GV80.........I don't know, it just looks kinda ostentatious and odd! Certain angles of the vehicle looks good and eye catching. But it's just not a vehicle I would want at all. But I give props to Hyundai for stepping out there to try. It's a decent debut based on response from those who like it. Hyundai cars to me always felt as though they copycat from other makes. As unappealing as this SUV is to me, I can at least say it is more original than others Hyundai cars.
There's nothing wrong with "smaller" those 3 row suvs are porkers to drive.
I totally agree!!
What a great looking vehicle! I am really impressed with the interior which, to me, looks extremely luxurious and comfortable. I also like the blue which I never thought I would say. Thanks for the in-depth review.
This is the first compact crossover I’ve ever liked, well except the much more expensive Porsche mecan.
Not even remotely comparable....
The Jag Fpace was really nice but no way would I buy a jag due to reliability.
Mecan is a ripoff piece of crap.
@@NinoNlkkl .....Rip Off...Yes ........piece of crap .....No.......It suffers from German Unnecessary over engineering and they are cutting corners VW, Audi and Porsche alike......but leaps and bounds in front this Genesis.....
@@waynecartwright9478 unnecessary overenginerig? Prsss
Yeah right. Cutting corners? Reliability out the door.
Lease it? 👍
Buy it? 💀
I tested one with the matte white paint finish and the blue interior and it was a perfect ride and the power made you just felt like a kid again. I just wish the G70 had the same interior as the GV70 because I test drove that one and it did do better on a winding loop off ramp I tested it on at high speed.
I bet Genesis is saving the upgrade interior for the next generation G70.
2021G70 is just a face lift version.. maybe next time ;)
@@kfx3907 I love the current G70 but I hope the next G70 grows to about the size of a K5 or Sonata because the G80 is already bigger than an Avalon and the current G70 is awfully cramped.
These interiors are absolutely amazing. I won't ever need this vehicle but these interiors...wow, wow, wow.
Why so t ever need?
Saw G80 and GV80 in person at a parking lot for the first time and I must say the Genesis vehicles look much, much better in person than the videos/photos. GV70 is probably no exception.
That car is freaking awesome!
"As #Genesis continues their relentless assault on the luxury segment"
GV60: Imma destroy this brand's career
Agreed lol. WTF was genesis thinking. I've switched from JDM to KDM and the GV60 just aint it AT ALL. EVERY other Hyundai/kia/genesis I'm fine with. EVEN THE SOUL!!
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 Its an EV and yeah it is a bit blobby but im waiting to see it on the road.
I saw a white one briefly about three weeks ago, the rear end looks phenomenal.
I’m SO glad they gave you the blue interior, this is exactly how I want mines.
Wish they offered it in the 2.5 engine. Only offered with a bigger engine.
@@needsleepmommy they do offer it with the 4cyl sport prestige for $50k...here in the US.
@@needsleepmommy They do in Canada, I ordered the 2.5T Sport Prestige in white with the exact same interior.
I have seen a number of reviews on this vehicle and each has struggled to find flaws....according to multiple reviews this car gets a gold star.
Thanks for your review I always enjoy them.
The road that Sofy did this review on is absolutely gorgeous.
Amazing!
I especially like the "928-esque" rear side quarter window ❗
Genesis dose have Highway hands free driving assist tho, as well as the auto lane change function. At least in Canada we gets it, I work for Genesis 😂 on Genesis, the safety package is call ADAS , and most of the features come standard too (in Canada)
I bought a GV80 a few weeks ago and absolutely love it so far!
👍
Awesome! What color? I saw one on the way back from the gym the other day. It’s a really sharp car.
@@Digitalknifeparty Himalayan Gray👍
@@SS-bp8yq sexy
Congratulations!!!!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful interior.❤
i'm absolutely in love with this suv. this will be my next purchase. I'm trading in my Rx350.
Wow!
I’ll take your RX350
Well I don’t blame ya. Lexus needs to catch up. Aside from reliability Lexus are behind in all the segments. If you check car and driver website for the rankings of best SUV Lexus RX350 ranks 20th whiles GV70 is 5th. The RX is outdated.
Joe c... the rx350 is like my favorite though. Reliable, smooth, and decent get up!! But yeah, I feel ya on wanting this nice genesis!!
so you are going to replace your Toyota with Hyundai? Not sure if this is nice move
Hyundai is going the smash off. I can remember the first Hyundai I ever drove. It was the Excel and this was the first new car I didn't like.
Hyundai is just showing out! 😁😁 This vehicle is so swanky and well finished, it looks like it could easily share space on the showroom floor with a Bentley or a Range Rover. Incredible the accomplishments and accolades Hyundai has earned in such a short period of time. I love the balls and guts Hyundai is displaying these days. Go Hyundai!!!
hahaha
I don't think so, the range rover actually looks good.
Yet Honda, Nissan, and Lexus keep resting on their laurels...
Calm down 😂
@@ajevthetruthisthetruthnotc8390… They certainly look great sat on the hard shoulder of motorways or sound absolutely amazing squeaking and rattling back to dealerships😉😉
Absolutely nothing wrong with the wheels 👌🏽
Agreed
Other than their ugliness?
@@sammydavis991 you got your opinion we got ours, yeah?
@@hacklaurent9412 they are so ugly.
@@sammydavis991 thats cool too
If I had the money this is my type of car its so aggressive looking i love it
That interior is gorgeous, Europe needs to watch out..
LOL
@@JoeyT1 What
In Europe Hyundai has no chance with that. So Europeans don't need to learn anything from Hyundai
@@FLAKKU03 I’m saying European brands not Europe a country. And I has learned many things from European auto makers and just made it better.
😂😂😂
I’m saving up for this beauty!! 👍🏼♥️♥️
Bought this car last month and absolutely love it 😍
Wowww... what a show stopper! So amazing!! Absolutely beautiful inside and out. The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding! I would LOVE to own one 100%!! Kia, Hyundai, & Genesis are the vehicles to get!
I would get this GV70 in the Adriatic Blue with the Sevilla Red leather interior so I'd be getting the opposite of this configuration
That cop is waiting for you to do your 0-60 in a residential neighborhood
This alone is proof that the South Koreans are not what they were 10 years ago. They hired the right help whilst maintaining near Lexus reliability. Wake up and do your research people! Genesis has the means to compete with the best from Germany and Japan!
All it took were European engineers and designers to make it happen. I wonder why that is...?
@@MrCarGuy true, but you are undermining korean work ethic and vision. also Sang Yup Lee is korean and he is responsible for most of the latest designs. i really think they are the new japanese. and their improved build quality has nothing to do with albert biermann. they simply gotten better from head to toe. it's remarkable how these are well put together. my mind was blown when i sat on g80 and gv80.
Hyundai Genesis and Kia got their foot on everyone’s neck and I’m loving it!
No they won’t and sales prove it...
@@djzulumask2138 Well, Genesis sales are tripling this year over previous years, and their selling thousands more units, so they're doing something right.
they need learn how to make more reliable engines
@@sybsygstgstsgysg5330 But they do make reliable engines. They make some of the most reliable vehicles on the market today. Why are you trolling?
@@greg.anywhere man do a quick google search and stop pulling numbers out ur ass....I like genesis,specifically this and also the g70 but they ain’t on anyone’s neck....and like I said,sales prove it...ei-numbers don’t lie...
It does have automatic lane change. You have to turn it on. The icon looks like two lanes with arrows up by the tach. Your finger tips have to be touching the wheel.
When it knows it's on the highway and all drivers assistance systems on, I've had mine go for over 15 miles on its own. Just make sure your eyes are viable to the guages
I saw a new GV70 in black at a Genesis dealer today. It looks amazing, and that’s coming from a guy who doesn’t really like SUVs.
Great review!! We just got the Matte White GV70...Sharp car, it's super smooth!!!
Genesis sheesh! This car loooks best in white or blue
Yeah it looks so sexy in the Adriatic Blue
The reason why the “cooled” seats didn’t feel all that cold is because the seats aren’t cooled, they’re ventilated. They simply blow air through the little perforations in the leather, but it’s not cooled air. It’s just the air that’s in the cabin. If the air conditioning is on its highest setting, the seats will feel much cooler. Unlike some manufacturers who truly offer cooled seats which have a cooling element for the air, Genesis only offers ventilated seats.
Looks great. My G90 gets a lot of compliments.
This thing is freaking nice. I was thinking of getting a GLC43 AMG but I’m sure this thing is as nice or nicer for less money.
One thing I found out to check for is the plastic creaking of the dash and center console area. I was watching a video where these guys were saying that mercs feel cheap because of the creaky dash. I checked my 2014 kia, and there's no creaking. I still get the tech, and high end stuff, plus a better built car that has only had 2 minor issues, both were under the 5 year warranty.
@@redrock861 I've driven 3 and own a 3.5 Sport + (top trim in Canada). No creaks. Anywhere. Check the MB forums, they are Creakmeisters.
Hope the Dealers don’t hit you with the old “Market Adjustment” markup that will kill all the less money dreams.
First few times I saw this on the road I thought it was an Aston Martin suv. Beautiful design
The first time a saw one in a parking lot, I thought it was a Bentley. Seriously.
I managed to buy a GV70 sport prestige for MSRP. Other dealers are adding a $5k to $15k markup.
Absolutely stunning!
You’d have to be a mad man to buy the basic looking Audi to this.
it would be a race as to which one would fall apart first really.
@@DEVILTAZ35 true, either way I’d lease them.
I have Infiniti QX50 and cannot wait to get out of that lease to get this beauty!
Although I’m driving a much more expensive car I’m actually kind of jealous of whoever is driving this Genesis
Lol don't be I own an 18 bentayga this genesis is for poor people that take 80 percent of their wages to pay banks because they live beyond there means
@@johnlukach4091 haha thanks;) by the way have driven the Bentavga once, loved it!
@@johnlukach4091 lol what ? You dont make sense. Stop hating please. You know the car looks very good no matter how mucb you want to hate
@@mikexcanxjerk exactly, exactly. He sounds like a pathetic lame 😒, and the fact that he felt he had to bring up what he so-called drives shows he’s either lying or such a loser that he needs one to make him feel like he’s somebody.
I cannot believe how good this car looks. Genesis is absolutely killing it!
I think a lower priced RWD model should be added. Will bring the starting price down a couple grand.
Great Review as always!. My favorite Reviewer! Especially Excellent with care DETAILS. This Sport SUV checks ALL OF MY BOXES.
Genesis is officially in front of INFINITY $ ACURA.... the quality in there is TOP SHELF MAN had the opportunity to sit on one here in JERSEY... 💥💥
They are also in front of lexus
@@naveenthemachine I agree!
@@naveenthemachine genesis is on par with the Germans. Genesis is light years ahead of the FWD Japanese econoboxes.
@@Dkdid9183 lmao wake up from your fantasy these Korean junky cars will never be as reliable as Lexus and Acura nice try.
@@luism8612 pathetic hater
Rims with all those enclaves would be much harder and timely to clean regularly, but they look okay.
Easy to clean... Very easy
I know they can make more power out of this engine. I wish the would push it and try to make an amg competitor
Hey Sofyan! HDA-II actually does support automatic lane changes; that and the machine-learning algorithm are the biggest primary differences between it & the first iteration of HDA you see across the rest of the Hyundai/Kia lineup.
Y would anybody pay 20k more for a base BMW/ Mercedes, oh that right, just to seem richer. It's all good til it's time for maintenance and repairs with them other brands
Because people choose brand over all else
That camera 📸 was phenomenal
At least it comes with vented seats. Try getting that on the X3 or GLC. You have to special order and the seats are different and not as good.
bro you killed this review 🔥 keep it up
The wheels remind me of waffles. I like it. 😂👌🏾
Holy shit is all I can say! Wow.
I just bought a 2.5t in Barossa Burgundy. The 3.5t is intriguing but price was a bit much- especially given that there aren’t many incentives right now. I did get it for a bit below MSRP and got a reasonable interest rate. I think the 2.5T is very adequate in perf for most. Think I could pull sub 6 0-60 in right conditions.
Great Video. You helped me to decide on the trim. This is the Trim I want. Thank you!!!
The gv70 looks great and the interior is amazing.
The gv70 is what I call “the new Lexus NX”.
And I love the nx but if you gave me a choice it’s the genny hands down
@Угон Харлеев the new nx interior is fugly. Exterior didn’t change much and is still a good looking car. But the gv70 is strides above the nx. And this is from someone who loves the nx.
@Угон Харлеев it does. That 14 inch screen that’s available on the nx is enticing. But there’s more than just a large screen. The interior design materials quality fit and finish luxury technology are all very important. The gv70 interior is just better in every way
Also the nx350 performance is laughable. 275hp and 317lb ft sounds good on paper but unfortunately a cheaper Mazda CX-5 has the same power levels at a lower price and has a nicer interior and handles way better and it’ll eat the nx350 easily. Plus Lexus said it’ll go to 60 in 6.9 seconds
Even the most powerful nx is still laughable. A rav4 prime or my v6 Camry performance wise will smoke any new nx and get better fuel efficiency
@Угон Харлеев 0-60 for the new nx is just 6.8 seconds. We already know that. They aren’t going to underrate their engines like the Germans do. On paper it’s not bad but the Mazda CX-5 will be faster have a better transmission, and handle better. Same goes for the Kia Sorento turbo or the Hyundai Santa Fe turbo.
But I would just not get the new NX turbo. The only reason I would say otherwise is if it offers a unique power train, such as the v6 out of the Camry or Highlander.
Such a good looking car inside and out. Very nice unique interior design
Damn. Definitely DO WANT!👍Koreans killing it for sure!
I always question whether or not these reviewers ever actually use "wireless CarPlay" since they ask so much for it. If they did they'd know wireless sucks in cars.
This thing is a stunner! The only thing I'll fault it with is a lack of interior practicality for space and storage.
Genesis I'm impressed 😎 👏 , great review as always 👍
One would wonder how Genesis would be able to top its own game for the next generation/all-new refresh models… Bravo to Genesis designers and engineers!
that's what I'm curious about too, I wonder how far they'll be able to take their 2 line design language
In love! 🤩🤩 My only complain lol which is nitpicking is the beeping of the infotainment, it’s the same as my Kia Forte. Yes you can turn it off but Audi and other brands have these cool sound affects almost that make it sound more premium, but over all this is a solid winner!!
If the g70 gets this interior update I will buy instantly
This is the type of luxury SUV we need to keep BMW, Audi, and Mercedes from resting on their laurels.
Looks really sweet!!
I am sure this thing is great, but I am one of the few that can't get over the styling.
I'm with you. The GV80 is too much in person, it looks like a car that someone took to a body shop and had them "Make it look like a Bentley". It's too over the top in my opinion.
About time Redline... I've hd mine for 3 months ! What took so long??
Looks lovely inside and out. Fuel economy still needs work on their larger motors. Europe and Japan are a fair bit ahead.
Wish it was a mild hybrid system.
The 21” wheels drop the EPA fuel economy rating by like 3mpg. It’s not nearly as bad if you select the 19” wheel option. The four cylinder GV70 is pretty decent but I agree the 3.5T is thirsty compared to the European competition.
Drove one and it was impressive.
That cop was making me nervous
Think you can do a comparison of the GV70 against the Velar/F-Pace (which for all intents and purposes are the same car) or Stelvio? They're the only four non-German RWD-based offerings in this segment.
Yes a big Mashup! Because I can see my mom cross-shopping those.
I’m not that big of a fan of the wheels. They remind me of a waffle iron
I wouldn't want to clean them.
They don’t look terrible in my opinion, but definitely odd. That design wouldn’t be my first choice.
Lol@that cop creeping in the background 😂
That's a sweet stationwagon.
Beautiful car! Too bad people will still look down on it for being a Hyundai. Shame.
Did you really just fist that gv70
When he did that I came straight to the comments b/c I knew someone was gonna say something
Absolutely love the GV70 2.5 GV70 300HP sadly we won't get the 3.5 engine yet (saying it as a german)
The price is awesome for what you get
A BMW X3 (xDrive 30d 286HP dont mention the m40i 360HP still need 15k-20k for the same setup) with the same setup and engine is like 80k+ € in germany while this masterpiece will be at 54k € full stacked for 2.5 version...
Can't wait for the release next month to order one
Spiritual successor to the Infiniti FX/QX70
Love the music blasting. 👍🥳🥳🥳 Car is amazing
Sof!!! Watch out for that cop behind you!
Guy had one parked out side the mall. Stunning vehicle
Sofyan's video is another in a long line of excellent reviews for this vehicle. While currently driving a manual G70, I was looking forward to getting this crossover in 2022. Unfortunately, my Hyundai's dealer's service is proving to be abysmal and I'll be looking elsewhere for a new vehicle when the time comes. Genesis needs their own dealer network.
Who cares.? All you need is an oil change or two..
depends on the dealer. mine is great..
