I've had this car for the past month and a bit and it hasn't disappointed. When you're just driving this around town it coddles you with its luxurious appointments and when you need speed, it's got plenty on tap. This car is definitely a head turner... I've had many people come up to me asking about it. Styling is fantastic. The only zonk from my end is the fact it's a bit thirsty, but it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
Does it have passenger massaging seat or just driver like the GV80?
@@Anth2ny unfortunately it’s driver side only, I guess it’s one way for them to keep costs down :)
After having for a little bit. How do you feel about the overall quality, fit and finish?
Gas mileage should get better over time. I have had mine about 3 months and I am getting on average about 25.5 combined. (22 city/ 28 hwy) It was pretty thirsty at first it loosens up with some break in miles.
@@lewisfisk It's pretty decent. everything is well aligned, no major blemishes and panel gaps. The feel of all the materials is very high end. My only complaint is there's a small and random squeak coming from the left back door. if it gets more pronounced and repetitive I'll bring it in for a look. I seem to always find these squeaks in cars I've owned :P
What a beautiful vehicle! Love the red one you reviewed a couple weeks ago! So refreshing to see a different company besides the big 3 (I think we all know which 3 those are) killing it in the industry right now! Hope you and Lori have a wonderful weekend!
We hope you have a great weekend! I’m so glad that you like this GV70.
Raiti when i need something to watch you're always my go-to! Always love your vids. Keep up the great work!
Love Raiti's Rides. Joe is the absolute best at describing car or suv from top to bottom. Love his sense of humor as well. This Genesis GV70 is definitely worth looking at. I am interested in test driving one in the future. Thank's Joe.
Love the GV70!! Great review Joe!! Have a nice weekend!! Great camera work Lori!!
Not really an suv guy, but my hat's off the Genesis for their creations.
Have anybody asked you
@@atlanticjatt7525 Blocked, buh bye!
Finally got to meet you this morning at the Garage One Car show in Tampa. It was great to get your personal spin on the car’s and trucks that you review. it is good for us in the Tampa Bay Area to have you as a local guy on You Tube. Keep up the great video’s.
It was great to met you as well my friend! I am sure that I will be seeing you again soon! Thank you for your awesome support!
Own one, thanks to you Joe! Melbourne Gray. The Melbourne Gray matte finish makes the body lines and the wheels stand out. I like the way the hood overlaps. It looks aggressive like a shark.
Exact color combo and version I want. Thank you for making this vid👍🏻
Raiti, I think a carbon fibre exterior upgrade would be a great option for those who would prefer something different to the Matt black diamond pattern, which has been overkill on this vehicle. It would Look so sweet on the darker colours , especially on the blue / black colour you reviewed here. Great work man by you and the mrs.🤙👍
What a nice car :) I certainly don’t mind the wheels. Love the grill and the rear looks a little like a Macan.
Beautiful:)
Joe you make me wanna buy a new car every time you post! Nice 👍🏽
Very nice little SUV! Luxurious with a side of sportiness. Sweet video!
I really like the interior. Especially the color combo. Looks well made. Thanks Joe.
Move aside great great great grandad, there’s a new genesis in town!!! This car has such huge selling potential in the states! Wishing the best for genesis 🤞🏼
It is going to be interesting what vehicles they bring in the future!
@@RaitisRides I'm dreaming of a sports coupe! Do you have an inside scoop on that?
@@charbelh.boutros4971 that would be dreamy!
I love your reactions when driving that GV70. I had the same reactions when I test drove it. Waiting for my birthday to come on Friday like bring me mine 😁
I have to agree, the design really works well on this GV70 & personally I think it's their best-looking model
When it comes to reviews now one comes close to you on how would people use this vehicle. Literally tempted to go for this car after your review. Truly well done Joe! 🤘
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 💯 👍
Fantastic video, as per always, Joe!
I especially liked the special drive through/past section in this video before you reviewed the interior.
Please incorporate this aspect of your review into your other future videos.
One.of the BEST reviewers on RUclips.
Thanks 😁👍
Thanks Farid! Will do man!
The light interior is perfect. Much brighter and more open. Great looking design all around.
I love that the horn button has the same design as the grill as well!! Nice touch!!
I totally agree with you!
I like the look and the power but the panel gaps in the front are something you don’t usually see in foreign cars. I agree the rear diffuser would look better smooth. I think they were starting to get a little carried away with that design. More is not necessarily better. Thanks Joe. Great review and awesome work Lori! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Very wise word Larry! Thanks for supporting us!
Thanks for bringing us this beautiful 22’ GV70, Joe & Lori. Have an awesome weekend!
You are so very welcome Kody! Same to you man!
Nice review keep up the good work Raitis
Thanks for the review! Love the styling over the BMW
Genises has been doing amazing this year
I think it will get even better!
잘못생각하신듯?
love the grill on these!
thanks LORI BEST VIDEO ALWAYS
I’ve had this car for a month now in Cardiff green and vanilla beige interior. The 3.5T sport prestige is brilliant. Loving all the tech in this car and is a major upgrade from my RAV4 TRD.
Great job to both of you, felt like i was right along side you👍👍👍
They’ve been on a roll with these models!! Clearly amazing
You can say that again!
@@RaitisRides 👏🏽👍🏽
I seen a brand new white gv70 in the Walmart parking lot the other day and I could definitely say I would take one of these over the x3.
A GV70 in a Walmart?
What, did it get lost?
Maybe in a Sam's or Costco ..
Genesis and Walmart just don't go together!
This is an absolutely gorgeous vehicle! I don't have a Genesis showroom anywhere near me, but I know the technology is also on Hyundai and Kia! Great review!
Hey Joe - Thx for ALWAYS detailed review. Always one of top reviewers in the States!!
Tip- the exterior color (on the back up camera) can be changed in an option menu.
When compared to the Audi SQ5, GLC43 and Macan GTS the VALUE of the GV70 is FAR superior.(about a $25K bump to get into a similar German.)
I'm in Vancouver Canada - the top of the line 3.5 TT goes for $75,500 Cdn(includes F&PDI - just Doc fee & taxes extra) which includes the 5 yr scheduled maintenance program and, of course, the 5 yr warranty & valet service (within 50 KMS). OVERALL the ext,& int styling, the quality of leather, stitching, the lack of plastic, the latest tech features, AND Comfort mode is really nice, PLUS the windows must be dbl glazed b/c its very quiet and then hit the throttle and boom its such a fun ride that u can toss into the corners. REALLY A FANTASTIC VALUE and HIGH standard - it REALLY is pushing the Germans.
That red ext is very nice too.
Thx again Joe - I really enjoy ur reviews. Cheers!!
Just test drove a GV70 considering it as a backup while I wait for my Mach E GT (same exact price)... fell in love with it. Haven't purchased it, but it's the only car that's making me consider purchasing it before my Mach E GT gets delivered. I'd be going backwards on MPG a LOT from my current Ford Fusion Hybrid, especially since I'd be going to 20/25 MPG over a full EV. I'd also be losing a LOT of speed/acceleration compared to a Mach E GT and probably some handling since the batteries in the EV are down low. But everything else is amazing on this GV70. The tech, comfort, interior, etc. The exterior design is beautiful. It's really stuck in my mind right now.
Love your reviews! When will you be reviewing the 2022 BMW X3 40i for a real comparison?
This will be my first SUV!! Nice video Joe.
I actually really like the design of the rear lower plastic. It doesn’t look like they’re trying to fool us into thinking it’s a big ass vent, just a design that matches the wheels and the front grille
agreed all of raiti's zonks didn't bother me. I like waffle pattern rear end and don't mind the wiper. For some reason this reminds me of the jag fpace I always wanted without the reliability concerns.
@@aceofspades6667 How do you know there won’t be reliability concerns? Genuinely curious considering they’ve had issues in the past.
@@alh06 I don’t know anything about the future but it’s fair to say that Jaguar recently has had significantly more reliability issues particularly with electronics and infotainment compared to genesis.
@@aceofspades6667 That's true, but neither are the reliable choice, why Hyundai gives such a long warranty
@@alh06 "When it comes to individual brands, Genesis ranked highest with a PP100 of 89. Lexus, which typically ranks at the top, ranked second this year with a PP100 of 100. Third with a PP100 of 103 was Buick, representing the highest dependability among non-luxury brands.
At the other end of the spectrum, Land Rover came in last with a PP100 of 220. Jaguar and Chrysler also ranked near the bottom. A surprise was Fiat which last year was the lowest-ranked brand with a PP100 of 249; in 2020 its score was reduced to 160."
Recent Genesis exterior is phenomenal. Design of genesis reminds me of timeless beauty. Nice car!
My mom was raving about how she test drove the GV70 Sport today! How ironic that this video is uploaded the same day haha. What an amazing car…I will always love the X3 M40i, but the GV70 brings something new and more progressive to the table, especially with the design inside and out.
Only issue is power train . For luxury it's a top pick
Can you do a review on the base base model? No one is doing it and I’m sure others would like to see that vehicle. Please and thank you
I had a BMW X6, never again. This looks amazing!
i bought me one 2 weeks ago and everywhere i drive it is a head turner and you can’t beat all that if offers, love it
Congrats Dave!
@@RaitisRides thanks joe
Another day, another beautiful Genesis automobile!!! I am 100% digging this GV70!!! Thanks much for bringing us these epic reviews Joe and Lori!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #Genesis #GV70
The Fingerprint reader for different driver profiles is cool and possible the first use of this application in a vehicle
As always wonderful review! I was considering a 4 cyl Sport Prestige version of the Genesis but I ordered a 2022 BMW X3 instead as soon as I got in it I felt at home! How bout an X3 review next? I'm curious as to how many zonks you give it lol!
Joe. After coming out of the closet, thinking about SUVs, holding my Twinkie, I had to send you this from my iPhone 78. This GV70 is a SUV of the year candidate.
Love your enthusiasm and passion you give us on these reviews.
This car is super nice. I’ve seen the g80 and Gv70 on the road and man it looks nice,
This is where I’ve spent my money Joe! Thanks for the review & can’t wait for my 2023 GV70
This is wonderful Nisal! Congrats!
Bought mine last month. Turns heads everywhere I go
You bring the 🔥🔥🔥🔥 with this
Just got mine and love it! And yes I think its sexier than the BMW and I happen to love how they did the hood!
Looks very nice especially in this combination of colors (dark blue + white interior)
You have very good taste my friend!
Gorgeous, luv it!
Hey, Joe, you can fit a lot of Oreos in the grill slots if needed. You making your way to 1M subs, wow!
JOE RAITI! How do we not hear Lori laughing in the background with all your comments? my goodness. I hope you were nice to your sister! love the review and I love this vehicle.
Although there aren’t a lot of new Genesis models roaming around in the US, I feel like Genesis is starting to get more better and better with their line up than previous years.
agree, 👍👍
The Waffle rear design of the valence picks up the grill design. I like it. It follows through on the gas & brake pedals as well. Joe, maybe it's the color that you reviewed, but that thin black diamond, waffle design along the quarter panels & front lower valence is there because it follows a trim line down the whole side of the vehicle. You were too close up on the front & back to notice the side lower trim but it does follow from front to back. They could have done without it. Really that side 2 inch high trim is only visible on lighter colors. Fortunately on darker colors, that diamond plastic trim on the quarter & front low side aren't very noticeable
Rims look amazing 👏
Great review but you made a bit of an error with the price. You said this starts at 53k, and while you can get a gv70 for 53k, it won’t be this one. This sport prestige model goes for around 64k.
Negotiating the price for a car at this moment is a very difficult proposition for someone who is in need of a car, manufacturers have the upper hand. Used cars prices have gone thru the roof as well
@@danielmelendez9943 if you can get anything at MSRP, consider it a victory.
For that money, I can get the X3 M40i, with the options I want (incl. M-diff). It's half a second faster to 60 than the gv70.
@@dre32pitt yeah am not a fan of BMW. But you are correct thats an option.
@@dre32pitt yeah i will never buy another brand new car, got screwed by the insurance company when i was involved in a 5 car accident. I think i got about 85% pay out of what my car was worth. There after i buy cars with 25k to 30k miles used, saving a ton of money
Great review, love the vehicle as a whole but those Eggo Waffle wheels are a no go for me. I like rims that compliment the style not take all the attention. When I look at the side view my eyes are drawn directly to the rims and that's all I see. I want to be drawn to strong body lines or the overall design, but that's just my opinion. I like diamond stitched seats not diamond stitched rims and rear bumper inserts lol
The hood extending slightly over the front area is kinda cool, it makes the car look aggressive
Joe and Lori...always bringing their A-game to their fans! Thank you both!
Great video
Thanks Juan for the support!
Man......that rear end is incredible 🙌
This is one of my ideal color combinations for the GV70 😍🤩🥵🙌🏽! This is so sexy! I think it looks so much more distinct than so many of the vehicles in this segment!
GV70 for me, even though I am not a fan of the fence-like grille. I am sold on the dashboard of this SUV. It’s a beautiful sight!
Genesis can’t keep these things on the lots. This is a very competitive segment that’s missing the RDX Type S from Acura
I never knew a Genesis would look so much better than a BMW and Mercedes. Yes badge lovers will come after me but damn this thing is sexier than anything coming out of Germany.
I just bought on 4 days ago. And i adore it; its the model with the select package though
Thanks for sharing that! Congrats!
Best looking compact SUV of this generation. Btw, Joe watching other reviews, they say that you can change the SUV color in the 360 cam.
Love this vehicle…….don’t even care about the hood space in front . Much better looking than BMW……IMO
Thanks Joe and Lori .
They did such a good job for sure!
I have a GV70 and simply love it! It’s green and mean! Love Love Love…
Well dag on it! which one do you like lol..I love the way the M40 I handels but this looks nice as well..just missing ambient color lights...don't judge me lol
Those wheels are a trip!
We just purchased the GV70 AWD in red with the red/black seats- it’s really a hot looking SUV. Paid $5000 over sticker, because that’s what the dealers are getting in FL and there is very limited inventory. We would never have done this, but we needed a car. That said…the seemingly misaligned hood is just awful. What were they thinking when they designed the hood that overlaps and doesn’t seem to line up smoothly with the front quarter panels? The gap is enough to put a pencil between. It looks like the front hood was put on and misaligned in assembly. I feel much better now that I know it’s not just our car, but really that’s the only bad body design in our opinion. Regarding the functionality of some of the dashboard and console features: The position of the two knobs on the console that control PDNR and media are too close together. I am constantly turning the media knob when I’m supposed to be turning the PDNR knob. Bad placement. The reach to the media touch screen is too far from the driver’s position to make it a practical touch screen…too dangerous a reach when driving and using the knob requires your attention to the screen as you click thru to the function you need- super distracting. Lots of unnecessary features. I do like the massage seats. I’d driven about 45 mins and it decided I needed a massage…honestly it didn’t wake me up, but definitely relaxed me. Hmmmm…. The set up feature for the driver profile is great. Setting up your profile, it asks for your height and weight, then adjusts your seat driving position and your mirrors to reflect your height and weight. It then asks for your finger print. The car is amazing as you can press a button on your remote and literally let it drive itself into your garage without you in the car. It will self adjust until it’s in the right position- if there’s an object that gets in front or the car, it stops and makes an alarm noise. Once the object or person moves out of the way, it proceeds. Watching it do this will blow your mind as it self parks itself in your garage and stops at just the right distance. The driving assist is persistent and the cameras are as good as our 45’ RV. The best visibility I have had in any SUV or van we have owned. We are coming out of a Porsche Macan S and this car has it all over the Porsche for features and ride. It’s a crazy little SUV and it carries a lot. I am still learning all the things it can do.
Congrats Linda! Thanks for sharing that great input!
I saw one on the road in white. Gorgeous vehicle.
Great review. Exterior of this Genesis def stands out more. But overall, the X3m40 is an amazing machine. Hard to beat that B58 engine and handling of the X3.
Yeah I just ordered my x3 M40i last week! I chose that over this one! I like the GV70 styling but overall as you stated…the BMW was a better choice for me!
I've been watching these (GV70's)! What's scary is that it seems you're in my head. Lots of talking to myself about which SUV to get! The cupholders look really small, like soda can size vs larger Yeti. The rear armrest looks a big saggy, like it would dump your drink. And not thrilled about the net on the back of the front seats either. But I LOVE the rest of it! The wheels look better in motion. I can always tell when you really like a car by your excitement during the review and test drive. You put a lot of thought into your reviews and I appreciate it! Genesis is building a beautiful car, but as a company, they can't seem to answer any questions about their cars and then refer you to dealers who only have one in stock and can't answer questions either. Things that make you go "hmmmm???!!!". Thanks for test driving in a beautiful area. Props to Lori (Lorrie, Laurie?)!!! Keep those reviews coming! "ON THROTTLE!"!!!
Review of 300 hp simgle turbo?
The armrest is saggy if you recline the seats
That overhang hood lip makes it look armored and adds toughness to the design in my eyes it only adds to the esthetic
That is definitely one way to look at it!
Totally agree.
Man... What a sweet looking car! Should I have gotten this I stead of the RDX aspec?!
Thanks!
Well that's freaking awesome
Designer of Genesis is from Bentey. It's the reason why genesis looks similar.
I was anxiously waiting for that big ZONK on the hood design snafu, and I was not disappointed! As much as I love this car, that's a deal breaker for me... Cheers for a great review! 🍺🍺👍
Thanks for letting me bring it all to you!
What a shame - the hood is actually pretty cool and plenty of us actually "get" the design. You're missing out on an incredible car with an overall amazing design..
I love your videos
Front facia looks 👌 🔥 😍
Nobody talks about the finger id button! It’s a great feature for sure!
Genesis makes some kick ass cars right now . They look great
The genesis is not messing around anymore and being serious to the competitors !
Perfect SUV!!
Raiti, man my man... They killed it with the design. Most SUVs look good from one or two angles, but not all of them. This is just my opinion. Genesis killed this from all angles, but the wat they designed the hood that extends over the....MAN WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING? 10/10 ZONK
Just sold my 2021 X5m and got this GV70. Have to say it seems to be about 75% as good as the X5m but at only 50% the price. Obviously not as sporty but just about as luxurious with more features
sorry but dumb decision
@@syedalam6363 I'll have to disagree with you Sir. Larry is the smart one for dumping the biggest piece of crap coming out of Germany. Unless one leases these piles of junk for no more than 3 yrs/36k miles, one is in for a big surprise after the warranty period is over. Good for you Larry
Good for you Larry. Best move ever. Don't get me wrong but unless you were leasing one, you would have been in for a big surprise after the warranty period was over...36k miles..really??. Congratulations on your Genesis purchase. I would have done the same thing.
@@johnnybugattisr.9558 I meant to say to move outside of BMW. Drop the M and get the M50i or comparing to GV70 get the x3 M40i
how are the repair costs / service cost for the GV70?
It’s a really good looking car!
Love G70 and GV70!!
When/if are you going to do a review of the 2022 Grand Cherokee?
I LOVE my 3.5tt GV70. It comes with soooo much tech and it absolutely FLIES for an suv.
How's the drive? Would this be a better car against the Porsche Macan?
@@jansenwilder1335 I've never driven the Porsche Macan, so I couldn't compare. The drive and tech is fantastic. I like it much better than my soccer mom Merc GLC 300 SUV
I like how the GLC drove, so you saying you like this more than the GLC is something to consider. I currently have an F-Pace S, and love how the QX55 drives (but I dont like the lack of engine power). I've heard this still has the comfort, along with the power (in the 3.5T version).
@@Xxooo33 Yes, but mind you I had the regular GLC 300 and not the AMG variant. But on a price level, the GLC 300 I had is more comparable to the GV70 3.5tt.
Your the best!
Raiti Rocks 😀
That is so awesome of you to say!
