Best part of this car has to be how the AWD system becomes 20/80 torque split in the sport modes and has a rear LSD in the sport trim. Best of both worlds!
It's so well balanced. Fantastic overall chassis
0/100 in Sport plus actually. 20/80 in Sport. Turn the wheel in Sport plus and drift mode is activated.
Where i live, these things are super rare. I love the car so much. Thanks for the upload Chris! It's an incredible car. I also think people saying that it's just an overpriced Hyundai had never driven either brand.
Exactly this car is definitely above the 340i in terms of comfort, and interior quality.
I don't see them either
Genesis isn't rare in SoCal
@@noob.168 well I live in Ontario, Canada and it's rare asf
They're low key really pretty
I dig the lighting a lot.
I've got a 2023 3.3T RWD model. Truly my favorite car I've ever had or driven.
The ride quality is good?
@@Dashcamfailz I surely think so. The suspension changes based on drive mode. Comfort mode is quite nice for general driving, and sport firms up enough to make a difference.
Coolest thing about Genesis being a new brand is they are actually 'refreshing' their car every 2 years. First a body lift, now and interior face lift hitting key areas that reviewers comment on like the steering wheel, climate controls, infotainment, etc. Unlike other brands that change basically nothing over an 8yr lifecycle. So cool to see Genesis and Hyundai's N division actually make some great cars at an affordable price point
I love mine! I have the Sport Prestige AWD. Black on Black with red Diamond stitch and red seatbelts. I came from a BMW 650 TT V8. The Genesis is fast, sporty and luxurious all in one AND reliable! For those that won’t buy because it’s made by Hyundai, keep in mind VW makes Porsche, Audi, Bugatti and Lamborghini. Just as many other cars are made by surprising sources.
I love the living with videos, almost as much as the roadtrip ones. I feel that city driving (with the drivers and potholes associated with that) is ignored a lot in reviews, in favor of canyon roads and highway on ramps, so I appreciate your spin on it.
Such a refreshing product in today’s tech stuffed climate. I’d consider one in a heartbeat!
you'd consider thinking about one in a heartbeat? lol
@@DudethatGross meaning if I needed a car right now it would be near the top of my list of considerations.. You added a loop but I understand why you did. 🤦🏼♂️🤣
@@JakeDrives1 it just reminded me of when my buddy got a college letter stating that he "was chosen to apply to ____!"
anybody can apply 🤣
@@DudethatGross Not everybody is struggling. XD It is possible for people to be living comfortably and not have to worry about money.
Great video! I just sold my 2019 Volvo S60 T5 Momentum and leased one of these 2024 Genesis 3.3T Sport Prestige RWD in a Gray Exterior/Red Nappa Leather Interior combo from a standalone Genesis showroom in my city. I drove every other German car in this segment and each had their own pros and cons.
The M340i was definitely the best car of the bunch, but would’ve been stupidly expensive ($300/month more) equivalently optioned. You can tell this is a chasis and engine that BMW has perfected over time, but the price reflects that. At least maintenance was included with the lease, which is something I can’t say for the other German competitors below.
The C43 although fast, is a four banger that depends A LOT on pumped in engine sound. It also downshifted very harshly, even in comfort mode and automatic. It always wants to go and kicks you, and has fuel economy numbers that are just as bad as the Genesis ones are. While the interior looked the nicest of the bunch, the fit and finish was very creaky in some parts. Maintenance was not included and costs $2,600 for a pre-paid maintenance plan in addition to the MSRP.
The other car I considered more closely was the S5 Sportback, but the lease was an extra $100/month on LeaseHackr for a Premium Plus trim (so missing navigation, HUD) and did NOT include AudiCare maintenance which was an additional $1,699 addition to the MSRP (so it came out to a total of $125/month more or so extra if rolled into the lease). The Audi had massage seats, a lift back, sounded better, and had better lighting in the cabin even though this trim was missing the ambient lighting, but lacked some of those other features the Genesis had that I mentioned above unless one opted for the more expensive Prestige trim.
All these cars did something better but I don’t know if I could justify the payment difference of $560/month for the Genesis vs. $700/mo for the S5 with Audi Care, $730/mo for a relatively base C43 without pre-paid maintenance (that’s an extra $2.6K on top of MSRP- ouch) or about $800/mo for an M340i without leather seats and potentially without the M Adaptive Suspension.
Yes, I wish the G70 had some ambient lighting and the full digital gauge cluster of the GV70, but I can live without those things for the next 3 years for the price difference while enjoying some cool features like the blind spot cameras, cooled seats (wasn’t available on BMW or Audi, and was an a la carte option on the Mercedes) the awesome torque, and the overall smaller size for parking in the urban area I live in. It reminds me of the Lexus IS vehicles my mom used to lease, but much nicer materials-wise.
This G70 is the best all around value in the segment that does not give up much versus the competition. I’m very lucky to live near a dedicated Genesis showroom, so I think my service experience will be a positive one overall.
Those are the exact cars I’m considering right now so thank you for the detailed comment!! Can I ask what dealership quoted you on $560/month? Best price I’ve gotten so far is $700/month with zero down for the fully loaded 3.3T…
@@johnparks6936 I paid fees and first month, taxes etc at signing, so $3K out of pocket here in South FL. I prefer not to pay interest on taxes and fees, even with a low money factor. No cost cap reduction/down payment.
I dealt with Braman Genesis.
@@johnparks6936 I have a 2023 Cadillac CT5 V, I love the car. same segment as the m340i, s5 hatch, g70 and c43. they start around 54k but mine has about 16k in add ons, it has every single add on possible but is lacking super cruise which i would have loved. i have rift metallic which doesnt sound like what it is. its an off white kind of like an egg shell color with every aspect of the car blacked out. i love the car. i would recommend you to check one out before you buy a car
Awesome car and Awesome review Chris!
the way you drive is awesome can really get a feel for the car, the commentary is nice. good voice for commentary and I think you're from Michigan too, glad to see it!
The G70 looks pretty fun. I drove a Kia Stinger GT2 and I was impressed. I'm glad to hear this is more old school. Not having wireless Carplay is a shot in the foot
A CarPlay wireless adapter will fix all of it just gotta get it on sale or find which one is the best price
@@ryanmaxie6995still ridiculous for a 2024 luxury car
@@bkorkmaz1too much?
I like how these still have an off-the-beaten-path, insider’s-choice sort of appeal in this segment. In my personal top 3 overall, though I’ll take one in green with the white interior, pls
that color is fuckin awesome
No wireless android auto or carplay in 2024 is insane
The fact that it has blindside cameras and no android auto or CarPlay is crazy
@@ISMOKEGAS02 nono, it does. It's just not wireless.
a lot of the brands that implement wireless carplay so it poorly. Maybe they couldn't get it to work well with the large screen resolution (requires more bandwidth) so they kept it wireless. The lower trim hyundais have wireless but any of these large screens dont.
@@ItsPaulby No. it was a contract with TomTom for the navigation which didn't allow them to use wireless carplay.
@@TheUnreadableUser I believe that’s a misconception. If you can provide any proof to that though that would be awesome!
Folks love Genesis here in Washington State
Good luck getting parts!!!Genesis was always my dream car EXCEPT after having a windshield replaced, the "Pillar Post" seals had disintegrated from heat (what the Genesis dealer said) and now even under warranty I've been waiting 2 months for parts and when I call the dealer to check status, told they can't get the parts from Korea. Due to this issue, the car interior at highway speed is now so loud from wind shear that you have to play the radio almost completely up to listen to a audio book. Parts shouldn't take months on a car still under warranty.
Thanks Genesis for not having the capability to replace trim that causes comfort levels in your upscale cars.
WOW .....
Yeah I liked this car, but some of the details were unsettling and it was more than the TLX type-s for me by about 5k. I didn't like cheap tires right off the bat, the digital dash, the touchscreen, the lighter feel of the doors, it's not as rigid of a car, and it doesn't corner like the type s. It does have a snappier motor, and I like the quilted seats more than the Alcantara inserts in my car. The test drive and experience with the dealer were red flags for me, and I always check with parts to see how much certain things cost and if they're stocked like brake rotors. The Acura was cheap and in stock, but the Genny was more and they had to order. For me, that means I'm driving a shitbox loaner elantra for who knows how long, and that's no Bueno. I'm happy I bought what I did.
As for the trunk, if you stand still behind the trunk for 3 seconds, it will automaticaly open....
In Canada, the '23 top trim came with summer tires Micheli Pilot sport S4... same size 225/255
Btw, acurate description, great car (ex Q50 owner )
Yes, I have a Hyundai Ioniq 6, and indeed if you walk up to the trunk with key in your pocket and arms full, it will motor open the trunk lid - BUT only if the doors are locked. If you left the doors unlocked and walk up to the trunk, it just sits there staring back at you.
12:30 just subscribed because of this part
Probably the only car that actually comes with brembo calipers on all 4 wheels not just front two at this price point and even above
Man, for some reason that counter-clockwise tachometer makes me anxious. There was no reason to do that when every gauge in existence (both in cars and planes) is clockwise.
But otherwise an exceptional car!
It's a little strange. Maybe some inspo from Aston Martin
Loved the Durango part, what a dumbo haha
Hey Topher just wanted to get your thoughts on how well you think these cars will perform for the occasional track weekend?
I believe Paolo from the Downshift RUclips channel has tracked his, and it's done well.
I can't speak to cooling, or brake longevity, but the chassis and overall dynamics of the car are great, and it would be a ton of fun on track. You'd just have to ditch the Michelin Primacy tires! haha
I appreciate your Jeremy Clarkson "business" impression
The stinger lives on through this
Amen
No, it's being discontinued as well. Sorry.

Can we see some more spirited driving maybe along some curvy roads?
Fuel consumption, are the consumption readings in the same class, with the same power class BMW 3 Series Xdrive model?. 🤔
We want to see some more spirited driving through some curvy roads?
What's the 0-60 on this 3.3T AWD? I like this car, I hope it gets a full digital cluster next year.
With my launch control start it was exactly 4.5 seconds
I am sooo torn… G70 3.3T or S5? That 100k mile powertrain warranty might get me but that hatch storage 😩
I have the old sedan before it became g70, I love what they have done and I really want to trade up
It’s kinda like a luxury Elantra N. A Genesis Coupe N with this interior and engine would be amazing!
Was heavily considering this car over an M340i for the value proposition. Too bad they got rid of that gorgeous Hallesan Green color w/ the black wheels.
That green is a very beautiful color on the stinger wish the g70 had it too😢, I considered the bmw too but it only offers more performance and the g70 keeps out more road noise.
why does it have a regular auto instead of a dct?
recently starting working at a hyundai dealership and was super confused why, even though the Hyundai Kia Genesis group has a great V6, why they didn’t put it in the Elantra N? Then I remembered Genesis existed. kind of a shame all of the budget brands are almost completely 4cyl engines now
Can you put detailed spec each car that you review
4:49 I’ve always wondered, do those buttons work if somebody is sitting in the seat? I imagine they wouldn’t.
they do actually! i drive a G70 and it’s always fun to pester my girlfriend and move her seat back and fourth while sitting at lights
They do. Annoying if you have children who like to move your seat while driving (In my Cadillac).
@@XsaviXander haha i would imagine that gets annoying, i wonder if there's a way to disable that in the settings of the car. if there isnt that's feedback they'd probably appreciate.
I hardly ever see these in my area. I love this car, not so much the fuel economy 😅
Any aftermarket support,like a borla exhaust and down pipe and tune just to boost the HP & TQ a little?
Just a simple CAI and 93 Octane tune can get you to 3.5 0-60
I honestly wish they made the rear seating area just a bit longer
Yeah. I sat in one and me being a short dude I could barely fit back there.
I have the same Lambda II engine in my 2020 Kia Stinger. Makes a consentient 450 hp/500 ft/lb on ~15psi of boost. Daily drive it, AWD is awesome in the winter
JB4?
@@dalemenna5653 yessir
I wonder how the reliability and repairability of Genisis.
Those doors sound pretty solid to me.
They are heavy.
@@ryankuypers1819 obviously
They feel solid when closing. Even the power windows feel luxurious..... very quiet and smooth...
Had one recently as a loaner as my gv60 was getting a recall taken care of. Nice interior but lot of hard surfaces and that mish mash of a gauge cluster ruins the interior.
I did not know they moved the cruise control from the right side to the left side on the 2024 and changed the rims
W
I like the size and powertrains, but the styling isn't my cup of tea. Still an excellent alternative to the pricier M340i & S4.
I think this is a great choice in the segment, but others don’t know about it or say they would never even consider buying a Hyundai product
Their loss ....
Would you rather this over an IS500? Same with the G80 Sport over a GSF?
The is500 is a different vehicle, it's like $70k plus if not more. I'd only consider is500 because of V8 that's all
@@i.d.6492 It competes in the same segment as the G70 though. As far as I'm concerned, the IS500 was launched in response to the 340i. And yes, it's about $64K fully equipped. It's the only trim that can compete with the 3.3T performance-wise so I wouldn't be surprised if people would cross shop the two, especially those who wants to steer clear of German cars.
@@philhenderson3516 IS500 is really cool but I chose the G70
24:14 “ 10 Minecraft creaturesin real life “ ahh music
It’s so interesting they keep making it with the 3.3. Maybe the 3.5 doesn’t fit?
It's more of a parts bin decision. They prob have enough in inventory and need to use them somewhere, especially now that the Kia Stinger and K900 got discontinued for western markets. It's the same thing with the Lexus IS500, it got a V8 but because they need to empty out their parts bin since it's getting discontinued.
Bought my 3.3t new 5 years ago, no issues! Would love to get this new one but the prices are ridiculous. Full sticker and a “protection pack” addendum or they sell them to rental car companies. Dealers suck
Great to hear that it's been reliable!
G70 has that 'driving purity,' because Albert Biermann who made some of the best BMW M5s and M3s ever also engineered G70.
Nice car
To youtube comment reading association, any thoughts on 2023 bmw 340i vs g70
from what I’ve read and watch, 340i drives better obviously and overall is better, though imo I dislike the new interior of BMWs. I would go for the 2022 340i
Does the 2024 Genesis G70 3.3T outshine the BMW M2 G87?
No ambient light 😢
“ An spare wheel.”
4:30 Wow! I am really surprised the G70 doesn't get a temperature adjustment wheel for the back seat air vents. The Kia Stinger, it's sister car on the same platform, gets a temperature adjustment wheel for the vents. Considering the G70 is a luxury car, I would have thought this would carry over as well. I know the G70 has less backseat space than the Stinger, but that's not excuse for leaving out that feature especially when it's available in the German competitors.
I do wish the AWD Stinger had the LSD more readily available in the US. AWD Stingers only got the LSD on special/limited edition models. Canada had the LSD as a standard option on their AWD cars. 😕
wow youre lazy
@@TeamLuxzGamingthe car or the commenter?
@@TheUnreadableUser commenter. if you complain about something u still can do you are lazy
@@TeamLuxzGaming true lol
Does this Hyundai comes with lifetime mounting tape free of charge? It’s $60000+ right?
they need to put the DCT in genesis cars to make them better audi / BMW competitors
Hummm. Gs have very responsive trans .... FYI
Why don’t they just put the fully digital dash like it’s older siblings in the GV80
It didn’t really steal from the Germans, Albert Biermann came from bmw and took over the N division and that’s when Hyundai and Kia and Genesis became serious competitors due to better bmw driving dynamics
At 56k fully loaded its way to expensive given the m340x is 59k which is a way better engine, chassis & tech. On top of the perceived status of driving a BMW over a hyundai product. I respect what they're doing. Under 50k fully loaded would be a much more acceptable price point
I want Genesis to make a Mini inspired car. So I can get the quirks and character of a Mini buuut more reliable and more features for better value. I feel like BMW & Mini are lowkey entering their flop era
Edit: Basically take the Hyundai Venue but make it Genesis and better 😂
Genesis makes great cars hindered by the dealership experience. I love the G70 in theory, but the overall size of the vehicle is a bit too small for a sedan imo, which I think would be perfect as a coupe. Since many of the competitors are doing away with their coupes very soon, Genesis offering a coupe could place them in a unique position in the market.
G80
@@bigden2755 What about it?
@@SteremyJeele If the G70 is too small, then the G80 would be fine...
@@bigden2755 I like the size of the G70, just not as a sedan. Wish they’d make a coupe.
@@SteremyJeele Forget it .... not happening ...
Am I the only one who hates the mix of digital and analog gauge clusters? Just make it either fully digital or fully analog.
I think the old gauges with the screen in the middle looked perfect. They either should’ve kept that or gave it the Hyundai full digital display
If this car was reliable or this brand Hyundai i think of buying one
Better get down there then. I've had two of them and they are awesome

real
and same
Funny looking face (=▼=)
this is hilariously accurate
I really like the idea of these, but they are dangerously close to m340i / s4 territory at this price. With as poor of an experience as hyundai/genesis/kia dealers are its hard to justify
heard nightmare stories about hyundai/kia dealerships but my buying experience with genesis was amazing. salesman was super knowledgeable and there was no pressure to buy right away. they charged a $750 flat dealership fee and all of the packages were optional, which usually isnt the case as that’s where dealerships make their money. also my genesis dealership has a nice lounge with coffee/hot chocolate and an mini arcade with a couple of full size arcade machines. certainly not the case for everyone, but I love my dealership.
The interior is way nicer than them and it's more reliable than a BMW or Audi lol. Certainly cheaper to repair as well with better warranty.
Beautiful car. However, the rear leg room is way too small. It's almost useless for anyone over 5 feet tall.
Don't care... I don't use them ....
Vbox with real world 0-60.

BMW is dead for me until they bring physical buttons back. The worse thing about Genesis though is that their 3.3T gets the same gas mileage as BMWs twin turbo V8. It's pretty abysmal.
they’re not terribly well optimized, but if you don’t care as much about speed the 2.0 or 2.5 options are also pretty quick. I ended up with a G70 2.0T after test driving a lexus is300 with a V6, found that the 2.0L turbo was significantly more responsive at lower RPM, which I was very surprised by as I’ve only owned NA v6s in the past
They're gas guzzlers in the city and when pedaled to the metal, but pretty efficient in the highway. It's not uncommon to see the 3.3T get up to 32mpg on the highway. Car & Driver got exactly that on their last highway test.
@@philhenderson3516 - I don't put a lot of weight on anecdotal evidence - anyone can say they get anything. That's why there are testing standards and ratings set by the government. The EPA rates the AWD G70 V6 at 17 city, 25 highway, and 20 combined. The 2023 M550i AWD twin turbo V8, which is a much larger car, and has WAY more hp rated at 17 city, 25 highway, and 20 combined, as well.
@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow I completely understand get your point and am not disputing the official EPA ratings. I'm just saying from first hand experience that it is possible and reviewers have seen similar results. In the same manner, it is very possible that the M550I gets better mpg on the highway than the advertised 25mpg. But yes, I agree that it's as lot more impressive to see a turbo V8 get those numbers than a turbo V6.
@@philhenderson3516 - Gotcha. Thanks for the thoughtful response.
I sold this for a Elantra N , it was very comfortable and such a good cruiser but not focused enough.
We did get rear wheel drive version of this car in Australia though so definitely more fun than the awd
Do you think the switch and upgrade is worth it and are there any things you miss with the N? I have an N but would love a G70 because of the AWD and V6
@@devn3813 yep , the N is way more fun. They're different cars completely though. The N is comfortable enough and more fun , more economical and track ready whilst saving coin.
The v6 isn't a reason to buy this. It's ok but not that refined compared to Germans
@@mharro88 I'd have to disagree. The only thing N does better is exhaust note and stiffer suspension and steering that's all. It's not more fun to drive. V6 has way more potential. And I'm saying this coming from Fully modded tuned Veloster N with upgraded turbo. I'd actually prefer VN over EN because of how ugly that thing is. Plus G70 is a luxury vehicle but can easily be turned into a beast, little tune coil overs and exhaust and she's ready to go
@@i.d.6492 you serious you think a genesis g70 which is a sports luxury sedan is more fun than a track ready chassis like the Elantra N? You've obviously never driven it because that's a absurd statement.
Sorry you're clueless. I've owned both. The EN is way more precise on track , the chassis is considerably lighter ,better cooling , you're more connected to the road, better steering, better suspension setup and the DCT transmission first and foremost is more refined and tuned for competitive track sessions and you can get a N in a manual? The g70 transmission auto up shifts lol it's not made for the track.
Hilarious to even compare. For fun and performance/track ready out of the box get a N , for comfort and luxury , GT driving get a g70. Period.
The g70 is a beast in a straight line with that v6 but it's not going to beat a EN around any corners. A Kia stinger gt is more of a track weapon than the g70 to be honest. We only get the RWD variants here in Australia and they're more fun than AWD
The Veloster N is fun but sits on a older inferior platform to a EN , I used to own a i30n hatch , same car at the bones . The EN is still more refined and quicker. Looks are subjective, whocares and cool you can tune a g70 , you can also tune a Elantra N 👍🏽
@@mharro88 I'm well aware they are different, but it's not difficult at all to get g70 there and it's already faster and has more potential. I know what elantra N is capable I've literally had Veloster N which is basically the same apart from bigger turbo on EN and few small changes. If it wasn't for exhaust note EN would have been boring af to drive, it's much slower than G70 and I doubt you'd ever took to the track it's just something you use to jastify thinking it's better 🤡
The size of the G70 is nice - except for the rear. As a Lexus IS owner, the rear seat room was not a priority for me, but at the same time, I felt the rear of the G70 was even smaller than in the Lexus.
It is funny how those two models share a lot of attributes but are actually quite different to drive.
What were the biggest driving experience differences between the two?
...thats a fucking lexus rx interior
On a premium car having hard plastic door panels is such a downer. Sometimes people people keep their elbows there while driving and that's not nice to have at all.
Hyundai started a whole new brand out of a Genesis Coupe and then they killed the car.
The Genesis Sedan came out first in 2007. Unlike the Sedan, the Genesis coupe wasn't meant as a luxury product, it was more of a Tuscany/Tiburon replacement but much larger in size and with superior RWD dynamics, with its sights set to battle the Infiniti G37 for half the cost. Since the Genesis name had already garnered so much traction with the Sedan, it only made sense for them to call it the Genesis coupe.
I don't like the sound of the engine.
first! pin pls
Just a glorified Kia.
troll alert .....
The worst model from the Genesis
and it's amazing
The interior is by far the worst part about this car. Doesn't compete well with BMW, Mercedes, or Audi well.
It's fantastic
I´ve realized that there is no motorcycles on the highway, maybe due to high speed.
