With 380 horsepower coming out of a 3.5 L turbo-six and a claimed fuel economy of 11.6 L/100 km (with 19 inch wheels), the new GV70 looks to carve out its own place in the midsize SUV category.

The coolest thing about this channel is that I feel like I am just hanging out with my old friends and talk about cars with them when I watch these videos
Yeah. And the quality of these videos are amazing!
I regularly watch videos they make on vehicles I have zero interest in owning, just to see their reaction to them.
Old friends who SHOW you there cool cars but dont let your drive... ;)
I think that's what they're going for. They feel like everybody's friend. Except I actually learn something from these 2 lol. My actual friends, not so much 😬
@@Kleberei bahaha exactly!
These intros are the reason why I come to these guys before I watch the sea of videos from the other reviewers.
I just watch these guys and leave the sea tbh. The sea is boring.
@@the-boring-car-guy I probably wood, but I like different opinions on certain SUV's due to being in the market for an SUV.
there are other reviewers?
OH, you mean those copy cats over at Extra Throttle House?
@@99-Zulu different opinions yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean different videos. The top journos are at writing level for a reason but occasionally you get gems like this channel who are on RUclips.
“The beauty of white space” is Korean traditional metaphor meaning empty or plain space is beautiful. It is better to call “beauty of empty space” The reason why white is old Korean painters did’t filled colours in background of their paintings . Rather, just left it white making it simple, humble and comfy. Think about iPhone white.
Or "negative space" to use modern design lingo.
Miles Davis
It's a lovely concept and what makes beautiful design (in contrast to horror vacui, or fear of empty space)
It's less cluttered and has a very modern/simplistic/scandinavian feel but just a bit different. If scandinavian chic feels like it's trying really hard to be simple and clean, this feels effortless.
It's also used in building webpages.
Honestly the looks and interior of the gv70 is just so much better than the rivals... It looks absolutely stunning
Doug Demuro: It's better than the Porsche Macan and yes, I said it.
@M.J.G. Actually Design is person opinion, PORSCHE MACAN is also good, but I think just In my opinion this looks better. Personally I really like the back and interior. And also high tech things which they doesn’t have.
This still has dial gauges.. Mdx looks better
@@djsunnypevents only in your opinion, in my opinion the MDX doesn't look as good.
I can't do the red interior
The problem I'm having with Genesis is that how do they expect me to pick one of their cars when all of them are so bloody good.
They all are pieces of junk
@@ghq8982 what's this an opinion I could care less about.
@@danielmcintyre7405 an opinion you shouldn't care about
@@ghq8982 your comment is a piece of junk
@@ghq8982 I guess you're confusing Genesis with yourself
"I'm James" is getting bolder and louder.
And funnier
I feel like I’m meeting a 6 year old. “I’M JAMES!!”
He's getting more confident in himself. I'm proud of him
He’s beginning to believe
@@acrabadacra3916 “jumper”
I totally agree with Thomas “they’re no longer an underdog” so we can hold them to higher standards, which they are matching. I’m really hoping they bring a true performance version (N/Rspec/ whatever they choose to call it) to truly rival the germans. Good job Genesis!!!
But honestly why tho?! What's with guys and performance?! Hahaha... Most folks won't buy the performance models because the 3.5T is more than adequate.
And the M/RS/AMG models just turn drivers to jerks on the road. Like seriously those Performance models end up in the shop after multiple aggressive driving.
@@nbibe24 exactly
They could call their performance arm “Leviathan”
@@nbibe24 performance versions bring people in, I'm certain there's countless 5 series owners that wanted a m5 but settled for a 530i even though it's no faster than any other luxury car.
My girlfriend had a 2013 Hyundai Sonata and it literally caught on fire.
Bought a GV70 3.5T in early November 2021. It's an excellent vehicle - very happy with it. My first foray in to luxury SUVs, and so far I'm not disappointed. A couple things to note: If considering the smaller 2.5T four cylinder engine, don't worry about any meaningful difference in performance from the 3.5T. I test drove both, and I really couldn't tell the difference in driving power. The smaller 2.5T makes more noise, but is no less athletic. And, it costs much less, and gets better gas mileage. The reason I went with the larger, more expensive 3.5T is because I wanted the option package with the electronically controlled suspension, as well as the option package that included the matte green finish (which looks awesome). I value quiet and smooth, so wanted the less noisy engine and the smoother suspension. All in all, really pleased. I don't like the German vehicles, purely because of the nasty repair costs. One thing to beware of: you're buying this luxury Genesis in a most-decidedly un-luxury Hyundai dealership. If you demand a white-glove dealership experience like Lexus, Mercedes, Cadillac, etc., you will NOT get that at the Hyundai dealership.
Hey! I’m 8 months late so idk if your gonna read this. I wanted to ask, how is the car so far? Any problems? I’m planning on getting the 3.5 engine as well
@@blade4306 still loving it, and I would highly recommend the GV70. There isn’t anything I’d change about it. I love how quiet and smooth it is. And the technology isn’t too hard to master (I’m 59, and pretty old school when it comes to my vehicle’s knobs and buttons - I like them to be simple.). Gas mileage is just what was advertised. Plenty of power for me. I get a ton of compliments on it, especially the matte green color. As I mentioned in my original review, you’re buying this from a Hyundai dealership. If your used to white-glove treatment from luxury brand dealerships (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, et al), brace yourself - you won’t be getting that from a Hyundai dealership. In fairness, some are better than others - we winter in Scottsdale Arizona, where the Hyundai dealership is quite professional. Northern Chicago suburbs is a different story. All things considered, very pleased with the GV70.
Fully agree with you about the lack of “luxury” experience buying a Genesis at a Hyundai dealership! They’re still in the works to build separate dealerships🤦🏻♀️
Genesis has heard that last line clearly, my local dealer that I bought my GV70 at is in the process of moving to their own seperate location
Cadillac is awful dealership experience. Owned one for 8 years now
The needle turns into a flaming sword saber thing? Holy sh*t that’s actually awesome.
Probably the most awesome unique feature in a car.
Looks like Kylo sword
Yea there's a reason to buy it ..not

Florida law firm launches class-action suit against the Genesis GV80
The lawsuit alleges the luxury SUV has "dangerous defects" in its steering
A Florida law firm specializing in consumer advocacy has filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Hyundai, claiming that the Genesis GV80 sport-utility is unsafe.
Corwin Law, based in Boca Raton, filed the lawsuit on behalf of owners and lessees of the GV80, which launched as an all-new model for 2021. The lawsuit claims the automaker is “promoting the GV80 luxury SUV, despite being aware of dangerous defects affecting the vehicle’s driveability that are documented in Korean news media and current customer message boards.”
"...and quite a lot of messing around."
James: **bonk**
yes I watch the intro too
Gets me every time 😂
Very original buddy
Never gets old
James hitting his head on the i8’s window will never get old 😭
Thankfully, it was his crash helmet.
I just fell in love with GV70's interior. It's the best car interior I ve seen.
This show is so good. Its like a better Top Gear that actually gives consumer advice! Just great
I'm a long time Top Gear fan but after watching TH and going back to old TG episodes, they feel dated and inferior overall. TG has really high notes but a lot of long boring content too. TH you can just watch straight through.
Best car show on RUclips bar none
Not old Top Gear
@@nexushexus4365 yeah the really old TG
Ah yes, I've always wondered why top gear never gives buyer's advice on a bunch of expensive/rare/and non-street legal cars they always drove on the show.
That interior has a hint of Bugatti in it. Simple , Elegant, Gorgeous
seriously cool interior for a reasonably priced car! I’ve been in much more expensive cars that I would certainly not pay double for when this is so reasonable.
I agree. Has that upscale, rare vibe.
Dude exactly what I was thinking! Those metal finish ovals, very similar to chiron interior. Genesis are killing it!
Definitely a pretty interior. It’s very modern too. My only issue with Genesis is you have to explain to everyone why you just dropped $70k on a Hyundai. Everyone will understand that price point if you bought a Lexus or BMW or Range Rover or Audi or Mercedes.
Hopefully, Genesis can turn that around in the coming years. They’re definitely on the right track!
@@P51DFreak25 their reputation has already grown a lot, these things come with time but if I didn’t know what this was and you told me it was any of the Germans I would believe you.
I picked mine up 2 weeks ago and I love the thing. Makes me happy every time I step in it. Went from a G80 Sport and I don't think I'll step away from the Genesis brand if they keep it up and keep getting better.
Luckyy
In Korean, 'Beauty of white space' means something like minimalism
Even in English I sort of guessed it
Apple / tesla
This has to be best all rounded, gorgeous midsize cross over period.
Well rounded without being too rounded (like those hideous SUV “coupes”). Great design
Yes sir! The only thing I would do different is I would remove the Genesis name badge from the rear and I would install an actual badge. I don't like this new trend of spelling out the car brand in text at the rear. It does not look good on any car tbh.
@Fire Heart that competes with the GV80
@Fire Heart this competes with the RDX. Acura needs to make a RDX Type S to compete in this segment better
@Fire Heart gv70 interior blows MDX interior out the water in terms of looks.
My boss ordered one and we went 2 weeks ago to test driver it and it's an amazing suv. It drives so nice. He got the sport plus with all the bells and whistles. He trade his 2016 750i , and he was amazed. He can't wait to get it in September.
I bought a Sport Plus. It's really nice. But unlike your boss I'm picking up mine this saturday :)
I would ONLY get this the GV70 in Sports trim. I personally like the wheels and the interior and exterior is my favorite!
@@eucarlosmacedo lucky you. He was supposed to get his in july. He ordered it on April. Enjoy your new ride it's amazing.
@RUclips Sucks not just a BMW, a 750i. I was just tired from dumping money on German cars.
how would compare the ride to your stinger?
That interior is just to die for!
Even the color is spot on. Red usually looks quite over-the-top, but this tone is not too showy and even rather pleasing to the eye.
The exterior and the interior looks gorgeous good job Genesis
This SUV 🤩 is gorgeous, stunning interior, good work Genesis.
Damn I love Genesis. I feel that today, only Koreans are designing cars that appeal to the petrolheads aesthetically.
Last time I was this early, James needed a "get-in" helmet😂
As a Lexus driver, I believe my next car will be a Genesis.
Given Lexus is beginning to slip down the same sportiness over comfort hole the Germans are; you would likely feel more at home in a genesis than what Lexus will be selling at the time.
@@anasevi9456 I would definitely wait for their new "refreshes" to come and see what the ES, RX and LS will become, given what they did to the NX. but yeah the genesis gv70 is just such a masterpiece, imo.
The difference between two brands is just so huge trust me
Go to MB Audi or BMW. They are miles ahead .
@@duncanidaho7494 AMG, M, or RS are miles ahead. The rest have gotten worse and cheaper. The two shouldn't be confused.
Craziest thing about this is that Genesis is fighting the legendary Merc and BMW in a way that Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Mazda, Jaguar, Cadilac, Linclon, Audi, Range Rover, and Buick can not.
Jaguar is fighting just losing loln
Lincoln is not bad you know.
This has already ended Lexus and infiniti so there’s that
@@naveenthemachine It also ended Jaguar and Land Rover!
@@dinohermann1887 well that yeah I’m not surprised. Their supercharged engines are great and their transmissions they use. But the rest of it yeah I agree
I like this GV70 a lot. Quite frankly, I think it has more than enough horsepower for me. Personally, I think there's too much emphasis on horsepower and how quick or fast a lot of these vehicles are nowadays. The average purchaser of a sport ute, luxury sedan or truck will NEVER push their vehicles to their full potential. Hell, it takes the average driver close to freakin' 30 seconds or more just to get to 45 MPH from a stop at a traffic light.
It looks fantastic! (inside and out)
I’m loving everything that Genesis is doing so far…
I have the fully loaded 3.5 sports prestige. Bought it last Monday. Have ZERO regrets. It is gorgeous inside and out. Absolutely love it.
The whole Genesis lineup actually gets me excited, while other brands have gone dull, each of their cars are exciting for me design wise, both inside and out. More brands should take notes....
Tested this car and others. Nothing even come close. Stunning inside out. Drives amazing
I used to watch a ton of car reviews, but now it's just these guys and Savage Geese. They're the best. I watch every video. Good job guys!
*So excited for this review. This is the car I’m considering. Thank you!*
I’m super impressed with Genesis 👌👏
The sport steering wheel is a must-have.
I actually quite like the two-spoke! It's a bit nostalgic, even
Indeed!
I love love love! The simple yet super classy and classic look of the interior. Sometimes less is more.
Agreeed
They give you everything that you'd need. Tesla needs to take notes.
Great, balanced, and fair review, and entertaining as usual. You guys have great chemistry and just the right degree of comedy without compromising the standard of review.. you're like a more likeable version of Top Gear (they just got too cynical and obvious in the end).
The intro skits are top tier. You guys never fail
I saw the photo and thought “OMG IT’S THE SHOOTING BRAKE GENESIS” and then realized it’s the SUV.
Still amazing how far Hyundai has come.
We're not getting the Shooting Brake here in North America. It's for Europe only
Yeah, that shooting break, is the first car that has made me gasp in a long time. Simply, beautiful.
It’s not a Hyundai. It’s a Genesis lol
@@antoinewilliams129 It's still a Hyundai. The infotainment is a slightly reskinned version of the regular Hyundai infotainment system you would find in the limited trim, and you still get the 10yr warranty
@@-SP. so I guess you can call an Audi a VW? Lots of similar design and build between those two as well. Genesis has already branched off. Not much to do with Hyundai besides a some parts to save money.
they remind me of what Infiniti was in the early 2000s. when they brought out the fx and g coupe/sedan. something radical to compete with the Germans
You guys never fail to make my day. Love it.
White space is basically having simplicity/lack of noise and using it to benefit your design and layout. It's something really important in newspapers and apparently car design which is cool to me
Finally! Was waiting on GV70 review! Good objective review! I like.
I'm here after the Lew Later interview with the straight pipes and the "supposed" beef. I must say keep up the great work on the channels success. Definitely my favorite car review channel
Your comments about Genesis I think are analogous to this channel. You guys are making such high quality car content that's simultaneously genuinely entertaining. I laughed out loud like 3 times already and I'm not even finished watching the video.
What a difference from a fatter, sweatier Thomas zipping around a track in a BMW he had ripped everything out of.
Well done boys lol.
Probably one of the only small premium crossovers that has a decent value proposition. BMWs and Mercedes have their place, but they are designed to be ridiculously expensive, this is a good in between. Not to mention that six is sure to be an perfect balance of comfort and performance.
I think they nailed the aesthetics on their current lineup both for the interior and exterior. Really impressed with them.
That exterior is on a next level. It's phenomenal!
This is so uniquely and boldly styled...do I want to trade in my Stinger for one?? That red interior is a MUST have!
That was a particularly cheeky, “And I’m James!”
It might not be perfect but you can’t deny that this brand is going places !!! I can’t wait to see how far they go in the future !
"and I'm James!!!!!" gets me every time. Love this channel so much.
You guys do great reviews. Interestingly I wanted to subscribe about a year ago but got your faces mixed up with another pair of reviewers who I didn't want to subscribe to. I'm glad I found this channel again..so I subscribed immediately.
Reviewers need to keep personal biases out of the reviews and I respect that with you guys
😁I just love how insanely cool their reviews are...🔥
I was waiting for this for sooo long
Based on your review and few others I bought my 2023 gv 70 in a sport prestige, and it's a beautiful vehicle inside and out. I just came back from a 5k miles trip and have nothing but good things to say. And their valet services are super handy as well.
Took possession of my 2.5 turbo. Love it. It’s a spectacular daily beyond belief
I‘d rather have a 3,5L turbo that is a second slower to 100kph than a BMW 3,0 turbo but doesnt break down as soon as the warranty is over lol.

Even if it does break down, that’s in freaking 2032, we’ll have flying cars by then, right?
The quality of production is sooo gud... ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Finally! I've been waiting for this review.
Now that all auto journalists have to wait to release video footage of new cars, they all come out on the same day. This channel has the funnest and most enjoyable content by far! Keep up the great work you two and your team.
As per the GV70 itself. I don't understand why people would want to buy an SUV and expect it to be fun to drive. For those who actually NEED the practicality of an SUV, fun to drive isn't really something on their mind because they can't drive enthusiastically if they're actually hauling people and cargo around anyhow. I guess this fits the bill for people who don't actually need SUV but just want it because...GOTTA HAVE SUV!!11!ONE!!
Intro deserves a like all on its own
I maybe waaaay out of touch, but sub 6s for 0-60 is darn fast for me. I'm not going to be racing between traffic lights. I'm all about reliability and reliability and tech.
Exactly, particularly if you plan on keeping the past its warranty.
esp for suv
Loved every bit of this video !!
The way he says “and I’m James!!” like an excited 8-year-old makes me smile every time.
You lads are brilliant.
I want one Now. Just elegant n classy. A great review🙏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿
Everytime you guys have something funny to start with. Good job.
This thing is incredible. As soon as I can afford one I’m getting a top of the line fully loaded model with a white exterior and that STUNNING red interior. A truly 10/10 automobile.
That’s gorgeous. The interior design and colors, just everything about it. It’s wonderful
@@pinnd.bythrottlehouse5430 shut up
First of all....love your channel. Second, thanks for doing the review. I'm six months into my decked out GV70. I drove five hours to get exactly what I wanted in Silver/Aquamarine blue. I traded up from a '19 G70 3.3T dynamic (too tall for it). Genesis definitely hit a home run with the GV70. I agree with the turbo lag and it could have just a bit better gas mileage. But a phenomenal SUV that looks better than a Macan for much less money. The biggest challenge for Genesis is brand recognition. Last year, they sold 1/20th of what Tesla did because Tesla has a cult following. Nobody knows Genesis after six years as a separate brand. Those that have heard of it still think it's that big sedan made by Hyundai. Their best publicity, unfortunately, is Tiger Woods rolling down a cliff in one.
Precisely my current circumstance! I have a Siberian Ice colored '19 G70 3.3T. I need easier access and more room for the golf gear/pushcart. GV70 is spot on, and the interior/hushed drive will do the trick! How's the vehicle thus far? Any regrets?
@@nicholascomaromi3881 turbo lag could be better as could fuel economy but otherwise it has been great. I get a lot of questions / comments about it.
Always a blast from these two! Luvvit!!
I just got the GV70 Sport Plus and I love it............if you want fuel economy keep it in ECO mode!! This is my fourth Genesis and the brand just keeps improving! Great reviews guys........I have the 3d cluster and it's awesome.
I honestly never expected to like a Genesis but wow. Exterior and interior look excellent.
It's an amazing suv
You guys rock. Big fan down here in the U.S.
I love your content! Thoroughly entertaining. I wish Genesis would come to South Africa. Their design language really speaks to me.
You guys are simply the best!
Ok these guys are growing on me love the intro
Now you can carry a keychain of individual fingers to start the car. Sweet!
You guys make watching something I would never buy enjoyable.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 love throttle house the best dynamic duo
That perfect harmony on the "Um" at 9:54 👀
Love the channel!!!!
these guys never miss with the intros! love it 🙌🏼
but, thomas wouldn't have known......
You guys are so good at your job.
I know that everyone has opinions on this being just a Hyndai or that Genesis is out of its league but this GV70 is by far the best looking vehicle in this class. It blows the X3, Q5, GLC, anything out of the water in terms of interior and exterior looks. And I'm 100% willing to lose 1 second 0-60 for the looks of this car.
Nobody is saying that these days
THAT interior! Damn I love that.
You guys are awesome! Love this channel
That intro was so good, I HAD to subscribe!! Came for the review, but damn - didn’t expect such an entertaining experience!
As someone who’s has been eyeing the g70 and normally wouldn’t consider himself a suv person, I want to get this car. Both the interior and exterior look amazing.
Why do car reviewers always worry about how fast an suv is? It's an suv that goes 0-60 in under 6 seconds, that's plenty fast enough. Nobody buys an suv wanting to race it.
Is it comfortable, fit a couple kids in the back and does it have good tech? That's what people who buy these will care about
You can fit 5 people over 6 foot comfortably and carry a moderate amount of stuff, except for the person sitting in the middle seat. Tech is the best among competitors and the most luxurious
That's what im talking about 💯
Not because people want to go racing with an SUV, it’s because of how it drives and how the drivers’ are going to feel driving it. No, it doesn’t need to have tons of power, but it needs to be confident wherever you go. Especially in countries like Korea where there are just hills everywhere.
It’s stupid to buy a car just for it’s 0-100 speed, but it can be used to pick a better car for your enviroment.
@@recoverymail269 that’s why this car has multiple engine options, a powerful one like the one in the video and a more mainstream one as standard
Nahhhhh I bought my X5 2021 45e because it could go fast andddddd do off road things and fit lots of stuff and people. The idea with suvs like this is for the price it should do it all. Otherwise I’d have bought a palisade or a telluride cus they are amazing vehicles just not sporty at all whether on road or off, that’s why. When you buy a 70k spot utility vehicle, you want it to do all the things.
I’m not gonna lie that intro was everything ! Very well done 👏🏽
but, thomas......
sometimes when i dont have time to watch the whole video and i just click on it to watch the intro and then i close it again, because those intros r more than gold xD
It's alot smaller than it looks in pictures.... THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!
Love the interior & she has a nice rear end.
Thanks algorithm! Subscribed!
This Channel is way better that Top Gear, Very Entertaining , love it, keep it Rolling Guys
James has been working out 🥵 He is looking THICC 😍
This thing looks absolutely incredible. I didn’t quite fancy the other new Genesis models so far but this is spot on.
I just bought mine and I’m in love
