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.
I really liked this video. Night reviews/in depth interior view of these luxury cars are well worth it. Genesis GV70 is too good a value for its price and features, it's about time they start selling more cars.
Genesis is becoming one of my top brands just under Lexus personally. It's so exciting to see the incredible advancement of the Korean brands in the past only 5 years!
I am not too sure about the depreciation. I do not think they will overtake Lexus there anytime soon. Plus there is some concern on my part about long term reliability. I know you can hear stories about any specific car or brand, but if you buy the GV 70 3.5 be aware that the limited slip MIGHT be problematic. I have also heard that Genesis dealers might not have a loaner for you if work needs to be done. I would personally have the dealer put it in writing that I am due a loaner! Yes, I do agree that it is supposed to be a nice little suv
Yes it does look like a porche... Audi designs the Gline BMW is responsible for G line engine performance and tune up And Lamborghini is also involved on the production. It got to be dope when you got the best of Europe working for you.
What everyone forgets or does not know is that all new Genesis vehicles come free maintence services for the life of the warranty and even better they pick up your genesis, leave you a genesis then return your genesis.. All for free btw.. Not sure If US has this amazing perk but all Canadian vehicles do.
I'd love to see a video comparing the three different Ambient Lighting setups. One of my pet peeves with the GV70 is the fact that you can't choose which of those you get - it's dictated by the trim. I want all the features of the top trim level EXCEPT I'm not a fan of carbon fiber and prefer the much cooler ambient lighting on the wave trim (shown here) or edge lighting trim. You lose that with the top trim carbon fiber models...
I have the Sport Advanced 3.5t in Uyuni White with Ultramarine blue interior with the edge lighting. I, too am not a big fan of the carbon fiber, but that's just my choice. . . . .No regrets with my decision.
@@ralphmeder7842 That sounds like a beautiful set up ext/int color scheme! I'm leaning towards the Melbourne Gray w/Red Interior. But I'd like to get the prestige package w/the full digital cluster and HUD IF I could get it with the edge lighting... I'm still about 5-6 months away from an actual purchase (saving up) so hoping they start allowing a little more customization. It's interesting - in the UK you completely build your GV70 and choose what features you want and pay for the upgrades - I like that better - let the customer customize what they want!
@@hollywoodfrodo your color choice is outstanding! Yes, I wish the US would have allowed customization here as well. I still love the vehicle and I know you will too! Congrats!
Correction for you. It does have Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFLS) as Genesis calls it. For it to work the headlights needs to be on Auto settings and it follows when the steering wheel turns.
I had it in auto headlights mode the whole drive and there was no adaptive function happening nor was there one listed in any specification or press material that I could find. Perhaps only on other Genesis models or in other markets but this car didn’t have them
@@deec9502 thanks for the vid, not sure where Genesis is hiding the information on adaptive lights, but none of their US market information mentions them at all…except that video. That model shown was the 3.5 model, and it didn’t specify which GV70s get adaptive lights. Even the IIHS shows all trims have no adaptive function with their testing. The Genesis specifications and brochure and media material is completely void of any adaptive lights so I don’t understand. If you find anything else that shows what has what please let me know so I can update
wish someone would review the base model 2.5 with the bottom package. Can't see what the difference is, especially the lighting. There is not one video. Its always the upgraded packages.
We test drove the package just below this one. No ambient lighting which was a disappointment considering they were charging $2500 above msrp. Strongly considering the Advanced package at another dealership. I also have a Lex ES 350 in mind. Already selected the package and colorway. Decisions decisions..
@@bluebell8557 I definitely wasn't planning on getting a BMW. I blame the car shortage. We couldnt fine any GV70s in our area that werent already spoken for. Dealerships started calling us at the end of April saying they had them in stock. We paid abt 46k for the X3. I love it but it wasn't my first choice.
@@S.Booker oh wow the price is not bad. Yea shortages are still going, I’ve been looking for a car since… I’d say … maybe April this year. Literally nothing is available. Perhaps the worst time to buy a car considering the prices have insanely surged but you gotta do what you gotta do I guess 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ anyway thanks for replying 🙏🏼🙏🏼
We’re you able to dim or turn off the floor lighting independent of the ambient lighting? It isn’t as nice as the other ambient lighting. :) Nice vehicle!
If you're considering a Genesis, you might want to think twice. Reports suggest their customer service leaves much to be desired, especially for a luxury car brand. Plus, if your car needs repairs, be prepared to wait at least three months for it to be fixed.
The screen placement on the dash is terrible. Too big and distracting as it's in your line of sight while driving. They should of had it a little lower.
I own one and the low beams are pretty bad and the lights aren’t adaptive. My last 3 cars were Audi’s w/ Matrix LED’s which were 10x better than the GV70 lights. .
Bad headlights are a dealbreaker. We're in the process of trading in our 2018 Highlander due to the poor headlights. Naturally, we didn't experience them during a test drive and have put up with them for 3 years--enough is enough. 2022 Acura MDX SH-AWD, here we come.
@@moeharri Wow, picky. Hardly are "bad" per the video author. I am not dissing the Audi, but good luck with maintenance and repair bills. Talk about a deal breaker and NO, I don't own a Genesis.
I don't know if the Genesis has poor enough headlights to be a dealbreaker, but it's disappointing that the NX was so much better (though I'd never buy an NX). Also, I'm not buying an Audi, I'm buying an Acura and expect better reliability than an Audi would have.
i wish you guys that did reviews on vehicles knew more than just basics. i don't feel like writing a story but come on. your just like salesmen, shows us in depth stuff, ex tailgate has 4 ways to open show us all of them, on the tailgate it also had a lock button. Which is to set the trunk to open at certain heights. that was missed just nobody seems to proper reviews they just want to drive and make the same vid. And technically the vehicle isnt even broken in yet, so when you put the peddle to the metal you wont get the best launch until its broken in.
Thats interesting. The headlamps on the GV would likely from SL, a Korean company whose technical affiliation is Stanley of Japan (not the hardware maker of US). Stanley is one of the largest automotive H/L makers, and perhaps the one from the NX is from Stanley. BTW, SL also provides H/L to Cadillacs and many other OEMs....
@@ledwinka Interesting facts but still the Genesis indeed has poor headlights compared to the NX even tho it “might” be come from the same company. The results are not lying you can compare it yourself.
As a whole it looks like no other car on the road so I guess a mashup is its own design language. I've also read where they did follow a design aesthetic that is based on an airplane wing which you can see and sometimes maybe it's a cross section of a wing shape. More so on the interior.
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.
What a great idea… doing a night review… different but still covering all the important bits. Plus you get to see the lights much better. Great stuff!
I REALLY wish they would bring all the interior lighting to their sedans. I'd love a G70 but I'd love the awesome ambient lighting
Yea theirs no reason the g70 doesnt have ambient lighting especially because a fully loaded one is at the base price of the gv70
Exactly. I would get the gv over g70. No reason the g shouldn’t have ambient lights
Damn, haven't seen a white SUV that looks so freaken nice... that's one hot SUV. That ambient lighting is killer too. Quad headlights are so dope.
Thanks for another great night review! Tons of "day" reviews out there, but always look forward to seeing how things look in the car at night.
Whoa! Didn't realize the door design elements also light up!

I appreciate the night review. Not many do night reviews
Good review overall. Kept your video precise and short. Thanks 👏
Fantastic review. Nobody ever thinks about doing a Night Review, excellent !! And it really counts with this great car. Thanks 👍
what trim is this? Select or Advanced ?
That Genesis looks soo…good Hyundai definitely did a good job with this one
They’re completely separated from Hyundai now. They hired designers from Audi with totally separate platforms and production lines than Hyundai.
@@sahmadi6659 still made by hyundai though

Waiting for hybrid version
You need to do a night review for the Hyundai Tucson Limited, Santa Fe Calligraphy, & Santa Fe Hybrid Limited
I wished the sport prestige on the 3.5 l model had some lights inside the carbon fibers, that looks so cool 😔
Is ambient lighting standard in all GV70s?
Wow really beautiful interior
really good idea doing evening review. cheers
Nice! But they removed the custom color option for the ambient lighting with the latest update...no idea why?
for 2022? cuz my 2023 still has custom colors

Does gv60 have the same ambient light?!
Which model is this advance plus?
Does the right stalk illuminate?
is the ambient only available on the advanced trim?
Are the headlight throw patterns adjustable to height as most cars are?
a lot of high premium for the money.
heyy. night review bmw x3 now
I have the 2023 gv70 sport prestige. Should I have the wave line backlight in the front doors? Thanks to anyone who might be able to help!
Got an NX350h. What I wish it had was better interior lighting like this, DAMN!

Nice night drive review. I like the ambient lighting options. Can you please do the new Infiniti QX60 night drive/ ambient lights review?
Love your videos as always. Very few videos on night reviews. Can you please make a video on Alfa Romeo Giulia Base or Ti or Ti Sport please?
Great video as always. Thanks man🙏
why did you say genesis GV80 if this is a GV70? confused..
Excellent video!!! Thanks
High beams are not far enough imo
Hello Nolan how aré you.
I love this vehicle more than the telluride
Most excellent.
I would def get the xc60 or this
Please try and get your hands on the BMW X3
whats the default audio system like? the advanced plus has the 18 speaker one and idk if its worth upgrading toi that
I have tested Audio on Advanced model. Would never go below that. The speaker system in Advanced is just mind blowing
.. This a gv70 not a gv80 as you stated at start of your video..😶
I love the you videos so much can you do a Tesla Model Y night drive
