For those concerned about the lack of dealer network, I've got a dealer bringing one to my house for a 24 hour test drive this week from over an hour away. The concierge service was easy to get on the phone as well. Not a bad way to do things if it saves them cost and gets me better service. Looking forward to the test trial. 😀
It’s the “after the sale” network and responsiveness that is the question, and the concern. Go on Genesis forums and read the numerous complaints. Anyone is happy to sell you something, and it’s a clever sales tactic to bring it to you so you can imagine owning it and see it sitting inside your garage.
@@yesmikedanger 3.5 Prestige. Ended up buying it. I like it much better than the base Macans I usually get as a loaner from Porsche. The value is impressive.
Just got my 2023 GV70 Prestige 2.5t last Thursday. Coming from a long time Lexus owner, I was immediately impressed and left in awe of how much more bang for the buck you get from a GV70 compared to a Lexus NX or even a RX. I believe the 2.5t gives you just about the right balance of power and fuel mileage. It drives so smooth and quiet, it's crazy how well built it is. Love it!
Just received my 2,5T Sport Prestige on Friday, Love it, Love it, Love it. It drives so nice and the 2.5T has more than enough power for 90% of people.
@@saulbachiller-smith8382 I ordered mine in July so I think yours will be on time. As a matter of fact, when I ordered it in July they said it wouldn't come til December so they were way ahead of schedule.
They brought the car to my house and I was absolutely blown away. I’m a hot hatch guy but this car really drives so much better than expected, like Muzio says it feels more like a wagon. The steering is miles better than any other ones in class I’ve tried, thanks to Biermann and his team. And the styling outside and in is so unique, lovely and put together with care. If you’re wondering if Genesis has an identity or not, wonder no more.
I've had my GV70 3.5T for a few months now and it's easily one of the best decisions I've made. You get everything and more with this SUV... Not to mention, I've had dozens of people stop me to ask about my car; so be prepared for a lot of attention Biggest downside is fuel economy, a full tank of gas in an urban setting won't get you as far as you'd hope. But outside of that, if you can, GET THIS CAR!
Great review Micah and Mike! I agree wholeheartedly with you both the GV 70 is a supermodel and makes the other competitors look like bucktooth cousins.. it's got the right blend of looks , quality and performance. Personally I think it looks amazing in and out!
I still think this is the most impressive vehicle to come out in the last year! Genesis's design language just works perfectly for their SUVs, and I'm really excited to test this one out in the future. Thanks for the review Micah! :)
Best car in the segment period! I bought it and it's just amazing! Anyone thinking to buy just go for it blindly you won't be disappointed! Quality at its best in this segment!
I've had a matte gray V6 sports/prestige with black interior for almost a month and love it. No, I did not pay over MSRP (for the inevitable question) I will say that when I went back to the dealer about a week ago to get my license plates they had a few GV70 and GV80s that had different glossy black wheels and other items blacked out so I'm sure there's a mark up on those. None of the 3 or 4 on the lot a month ago had any of that. I basically bought it off the truck. I got a call that it had arrived and I live about 10 minutes away and they'd just taken it off the truck and it was in the dealership's back lot when I arrived. Oh, yes, the V6 probably is a little too much power for what I need....and I love that too!
Mike Danger is a class act all on his own, such a lovely guy. The drone footage of this car is amazing, I wouldn't be surprised if Genesis themselves phoned up to borrow it.
@@yesmikedanger You're welcome. Just clicked on your name and discovered you have your very own channel, so I subscribed. Dam, I thought you were the Drone Pilot, can't imagine how good it would have/could have been had you done it. 😃
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.
Amen on German repair costs those drove me away from the brands IMO they’re lease only brands designed to spend time in their high priced commission-based service shops. (Which I understand most dealerships are) I had one Audi service tech recommend brakes and told me the light would be coming on soon for a brake replacement. Fast forward 8 months still no light…
agree about the dealerships. it is the worst part of the car. buying from hyundai and spending luxury money feels terrible. I want offered even a drink let alone anything close to luxury white glove treatment
Just got a 3.5T Sport Prestige. I have never driven a better PERFORMANCE SUV than this. Genesis has absolutely out done themselves on this one. If "love at first sight" is a real thing, I experienced it with this GV 70. Just typing this comment is making me want to go out and just appreciate this beauty.
@@yesmikedanger I live in the city so 375 HP for me would go completely to waste. I find the 2.5 gives you all you need, supposed 0-60 of 6.1 which ain't bad. And you save $10K
I love my GV70 with the 2.5T 4-cylinder engine. I got the Sport Prestige package and its a very enjoyable vehicle. I wish for a tad bit more cargo room and I'm not sold on the GV80. The steering wheel turns me off and it's too mature for me. The GV70 is perfect for me.
@@espedale Yeah we also hate it, it's so strange looking, doesn't fit the flow of the vehicle at all. That being said, we all think the 80 models are ugly anyway.
Only reason people are missing out on this awesome SUV is because they think, "Oh its a Hyundai"....if you could take our head out of the bottom and went for a test drive, you would see what you are missing out on. I did...not disappointed so far...
Seriously. A few years ago I admit that I was one of those people. But when a car company starts to deliver and back it up… i mean hey what can you say? 🤷🏾♂️ Genesis has been killin it. Hyundai & Kia, too!
@@yesmikedanger They've been killing it alright, with thousands and thousands and thousands of recalls for engine fires. And it's still happening. Their engines are crap and always have been. The fact someone is not 'disappointed' in a brand-new vehicle is ridiculous.
No doubt, Genesis has nailed it with a new line class of SUVs.. I was planning for lexus, but for around 1 week of research on Genesis, I've changed my mind.. I'll definitely go for Genesis GV70 or GV80 for sure..
@@jayden56858 Lexus? Lexus who? I thought genesis has objectively ended and murdered Lexus altogether. The big question is why does Lexus still even exist?
I really enjoyed the drone footage. Also, Mike Danger's input helps since he is taller and his 3 boxes were checked. Most of us want our cars to look as good as our "kicks." :o) #bluebooklife
@@gengstar09 sure mock me. I drive a 2020 Toyota Camry XSE v6. But jokes on you. My Camry feels more refined than any nx. Driving my Camry makes me think that im in a Lexus not a Toyota. The v6 is so quiet, so smooth, sounds great, feels isolated, and it’s way faster than any nx. Sure the nx has a 14in screen. No arguing that. It’s a showstopper. But unfortunately it lacks hard buttons not to mention that the navigation is no longer built in. You have to pay a monthly fee just to even have the convenience of navigation. Even now with CarPlay and android auto, i like my integrated nav 😉. Plus the Camrys styling is very Lexus like. Even you have to admit that it’s come a long way lately in style, tech, luxury and refinement to the point where there’s almost no compelling reason to upgrade to a Lexus. Also what real compelling reason is there to choose the NX? The interior is no better than a Camry for instance. Heck even the venza has a nicer interior. Back then, you could argue that going from a Toyota to Lexus got you the next level in luxury, style, refinement and tech. But that’s no longer the case these days. In fact, Toyota these days is even outdoing Lexus at their own game, offering more tech and powertrains that Lexus should be getting first. Take the tundra for example. The tundra is offering a hybrid system that is unlike any other Toyota or Lexus hybrid in existence, albeit similar to the f150 hybrid and the Korean and German hybrids. Its the first Toyota ever to get a 12.3 inch lcd instrument cluster. The venza for instance is very luxurious inside and it has that star gaze roof. And the way the venza is styled it’s obvious that this was meant at the core to be a Lexus. Sure the nx is reliable that’s why it’ll sell, but the gv70 has a longer warranty and literally every other category the gv70 is just better. Who cares about fuel efficiency? Its a luxury car… if you can afford the high cost then You can afford the gas mileage I expected the nx to really leapfrog the rav4 or venza in interior design, materials quality and luxury, and I mean really leapfrog to the point where it’s comparable to the gv70. But that’s not the case. Every reviewer themselves have said that the interior of the nx is too much like a Toyota not like a Lexus. Not a single one said “the nx outclasses the gv70”. In fact it’s the other way around. I would argue that going from a Toyota to genesis really gets you the next level in luxury and tech than going from Toyota to Lexus
@@naveenthemachine everything you stated was purely subjective. You’re also obsessed. Can you go a day without mentioning the NX in any review? No. It’s cringeworthy. Like you dont like the NX? Okay good for you? Why bring it up every time you can? It’s annoying.
@@gengstar09The very existence of the NX is far more annoying imho! Kinda embarrassing that Hyundai can build a product as good as the GV70, eclipsing the much lauded FX45/FX50, yet Toyota can't come up with anything better than the mediocre NX/RX line. That goes to show just how greedy and blasé Toyota has become! At least their new IS500 is rather interesting and unexpected.
@@philhenderson3516 I also find it more embarrassing that even a Toyota can build a high end product that beats Lexus at their own game. Good example is the venza and tundra
I think the premium comes from the car down to the dealership network in which genesis is being sold at Hyundai dealerships, which if you step in an audi, jag, bmw, or Mercedes dealership they just don’t compare but when they do I think it’ll help push the brand further
That’s one of the draws of Tesla sure they have price increases but the direct sales model is a refreshing change to those who don’t want to haggle and play the dealership sales game and always wonder how bad of a deal you got.
I have the gv70 2.5T, and Im very frugal. I was making good money, and when I test drived it, it was stunning and I had to buy it. I originally thought I would regret the purchase because im so frugal, but im honestly really satisfied. I sometimes regret, but whenever I drive a mediocre car, I realized how spoiled I become.
For real the squirrel hasn't been around in forever.... Micah he needs to make an appearance every week, or at least the times you do the review. Anyways you can see why it's the motortrend suv of the year, good job Genesis, it's a gorgeous ride
Good Review, Entertaining! Liked the showcasing shots of the 2022 Genesis GV70. What a car! Photogenic! Hey, Kelly Blue Book: want to park one of these in my driveway, with the keys? I'd say Yes!
Everyone seems to miss addressing the elephant in the room .... service after the purchase ... I went to purchase one to only find out the Genesis GV80 can ONLY be serviced by a Genesis dealer wether in warranty or out of warranty. I was told if you break down and there is no dealer near where you are the GV80 MUST be towed to the nearest dealer (too few servicing dealers to make this a viable choice)... at your expense. After the warranty you still have to go a Genesis dealer as they are the only ones that have the diagnostic tools ... I was told point blank .... no Hyundai dealer can service the GV80. So if you buy one from a dealer don't even think about traveling any distance, unless your destination has a Genesis dealer, with it as you could get stuck with no way to get service.
@@naveenthemachine People still think of Lexus as more of a luxury brand compared to Genesis I think. Hyundai made a very poor decision to launch 1st genesis vehicles with Hyundai batch on them, people still haven't forget that.
@@Mr21scott sure the Camry and Highlander outsell both. I chose the Camry over an accord because of its silky smooth 3.5L v6. If the Camry had a turbo I would have gotten an accord or the k5 or sonata if shopping brand new; used however, I’d get a v6 accord or used v6 Camry The telluride has beaten the Highlander in comparison over and over and it’s harder to get a telluride or palisade than it is a Highlander even though Highlander outsells the telluride palisade just like how it’s hard to find a gv80 over an RX since gv80 demand is super high
Oozes luxury. Inside and out. I love that Genesis uses a dedicated rear wheel drive platform to better compete with BMW and Mercedes-Benz instead of sharing a front wheel drive platform from Hyundai.
No one, not even sales person at a dealership know that the Genesis has a nice feature. If you press and hold the button at the door handel you can close the opened sunroof and all opened windows of the car. Great if kids leave windows open or partially open.
Hey all.. The GV70 should be considered based on actual reliability over time, That said i really like the Audi as I have always said, but I am not sure of the long term aspects?

I would LOVE to buy one of these GV70s base without some crazy dealership markup..
That’s one of the draws of Tesla sure they have price increases but the direct sales model is a refreshing change to those who don’t want to haggle and play the dealership sales game and always wonder how bad of a deal you got.
that might be the best interior i have ever seen, ever
See the nose left when Micah plants it. Nice.
Definitely the best looking in the class.
Great review guys and even greater car Genesis GV70 😍
The editing is smooth. Nice...
I dig the wheels. Would definitely get this if in the market for a compact SUV.
It looks a lot nicer than a Mercedes
I have the gv70 2.5T, and Im very frugal. I was making good money, and when I test drived it, it was stunning and I had to buy it. I originally thought I would regret the purchase because im so frugal, but im honestly really satisfied. I sometimes regret, but whenever I drive a mediocre car, I realized how spoiled I become.
Don't forget the 100k mile warranty 🙌🏽
The squirrel is BACK! My day is complete now!
Those drone shots and exterior beauty shots were magnificent! Sell them to Genesis for their ad b-roll!
Hey Thanks Paul! Glad you noticed!!!
Make Mike Danger a regular reviewer!! 😀
It’s in the works, stay tuned! A surprise is coming in the next couple weeks 🤗
@@yesmikedanger Danger, Mike Danger. Are you the next James Bond?
@@barrydunn682 🤣🤣🤣
Great demonstration. Thank-you!
Micah's review is so much nicer to watch
Looking forward to seeing it in person at the next car show I attend.
Simply Gorgeous! Nothing more needed to be said!
gv60 will have a face unlock, cant wait for it.
I think I’ve died and gone to Heaven. I plan on getting this in the summer of 2022 for my second vehicle.
Great review….and LOVE the soundtrack used here….
Doesn’t it just make you wanna film stuff?!?
@@yesmikedanger Hell yes. Micah's music is a vibe.
@micah awesome video as always.
whats the music you chose to play in this video i really like it a lot.
The drone footages are great! Where were they shot?
No painted bumper to scratch up getting stuff in and out of the back! Now that I like.
A little Porsche 928 in the rear, looks cool
Ready to order mine!!
Did you already ? Which engine size ?
They not lieing
Gv70 is a top tier vehicle it's beautiful
Not a big fan of Genesis brand but gv70 at least I can say it's the best in the segment.
For real the squirrel hasn't been around in forever.... Micah he needs to make an appearance every week, or at least the times you do the review.
Anyways you can see why it's the motortrend suv of the year, good job Genesis, it's a gorgeous ride
Amazing looking vehicle 👍
Selling my genesis coupe in to upgrade to this beautiful thing 🔥
Good Review, Entertaining! Liked the showcasing shots of the 2022 Genesis GV70. What a car! Photogenic! Hey, Kelly Blue Book: want to park one of these in my driveway, with the keys? I'd say Yes!
Everyone seems to miss addressing the elephant in the room .... service after the purchase ... I went to purchase one to only find out the Genesis GV80 can ONLY be serviced by a Genesis dealer wether in warranty or out of warranty. I was told if you break down and there is no dealer near where you are the GV80 MUST be towed to the nearest dealer (too few servicing dealers to make this a viable choice)... at your expense. After the warranty you still have to go a Genesis dealer as they are the only ones that have the diagnostic tools ... I was told point blank .... no Hyundai dealer can service the GV80. So if you buy one from a dealer don't even think about traveling any distance, unless your destination has a Genesis dealer, with it as you could get stuck with no way to get service.
I have just bought a GV70 2.2 Diesel.
My Hyundai dealer is able to service it.
Sadly the Diesel engine is not offered in North America.
This is a great looking SUV, only suggestion would be to tuck that rear wiper blade at the top of the windo so the design looks a little more cohesive
The Hyundai Research Institute staff said it interferes with the view of the window.
This is one sexy looking vehicle. Sad that majority would still go for Lexus NX.
And Micah does the review a justice as usual.
Yeah. Idk why the nx should even exist now that the gv70 is there. The gv70 has ended the new nx
Nah, I'd rather get the KIA Stinger GT2.
@@naveenthemachine People still think of Lexus as more of a luxury brand compared to Genesis I think. Hyundai made a very poor decision to launch 1st genesis vehicles with Hyundai batch on them, people still haven't forget that.
@@naveenthemachine The way the Telluride has "ended" the new Highlander, and the way the Accord has "ended" the Camry...oh wait...
@@Mr21scott sure the Camry and Highlander outsell both. I chose the Camry over an accord because of its silky smooth 3.5L v6. If the Camry had a turbo I would have gotten an accord or the k5 or sonata if shopping brand new; used however, I’d get a v6 accord or used v6 Camry
The telluride has beaten the Highlander in comparison over and over and it’s harder to get a telluride or palisade than it is a Highlander even though Highlander outsells the telluride palisade just like how it’s hard to find a gv80 over an RX since gv80 demand is super high
Great car reviewed by two cool guys!
Oozes luxury. Inside and out. I love that Genesis uses a dedicated rear wheel drive platform to better compete with BMW and Mercedes-Benz instead of sharing a front wheel drive platform from Hyundai.
I'm driving in a class lower. 2017 Rav4. Man, I am so tempted.
Great review!😸
Thanks Ryan!
Did y'all think we'd be picking Hyundai over Audi some day? Good job Hyundai!
Genesis* over Audi. Or say Hyundai vs VW. Compare apples to apples.
@@geepark9075 potato, potatoe. 🤷 The thing is.. Hyundai built that. And it's great 👍
As an owner of previous Audi’s I wouldn’t own one outside of warranty they’re pricey to repair I think they’re meant to be leased.
Luvs it 💜
Great job, guys!
Mike danger getting some camera sunshine no longer just the camera guy
Mike is super talented. We're happy to let him shine.
🤗
Hey Micah! Thank you for the Bonus Seconds of views.
The rear quarter window is growing on me! Saw A white one irl. Very sporty. Love those wheels too.
Right on Mike Danger! Great segment and outstanding videography. The drone shots and soundtrack for this piece are stellar.
Hey hey!!! Thanks so much, yo! Glad you enjoyed it. We enjoyed shootin it!
Gv70 is a good car. Well done Genesis.
Overall it's a great looker but somewhere a Mazda wants its grille back
I'm torn between the Adriatic Blue exterior with the Sevilla Red interior or the Mauna Red exterior with the Ultramarine Blue interior.
Woooow this is so beautiful inside out
No one, not even sales person at a dealership know that the Genesis has a nice feature. If you press and hold the button at the door handel you can close the opened sunroof and all opened windows of the car. Great if kids leave windows open or partially open.
Is the vehicle available at dealership, what with all the chip shortage and additional dealer markup?!
Which color is shown in this review? Is it Savile Silver or Himalayan Gray?
The Audi virtual cockpit is a win for me. What's the GV70 got?
…PIZZAZZ!!!
@@yesmikedanger PIZZAZZ is hard to argue with. ;)
Price.
@@hectornadal715 If price were the determining factor, I'd get an Escort.
Power.
Great Review
I love that background music.
Want this car so much!
How about adding golf clubs to help measure storage/trunk space? 😅
Hey all.. The GV70 should be considered based on actual reliability over time, That said i really like the Audi as I have always said, but I am not sure of the long term aspects?
As a jaded Audi/Porsche owner who fell for the looks, but felt the crushing pain of maintenance and repairs I won’t be returning.
10 years warranty?
I wish you could get it in the Siberian Ice color. Saw a G70 yesterday in Siberian Ice and it was beautiful.
It’s fucking beautiful.
