- The G70 is the smallest sedan Genesis produces. On the outside you will discover new 19in wheels, standard Brembo brakes and dual-outlet exhaust. On the inside you will be greeted by a full leather interior. Under the hood is a 3.3L twin-turbo V6 that pumps out 365HP & is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Had a '22 G70 that I loved to death. Great performance and great quality for the price. On the East Coast I had no issues in New York or Florida with servicing the vehicle and they honored the valet pickup and everything. Moved to the PNW and had problems with the dealerships. 6 month wait for routine service, no valet opportunity, and just a bad attitude from everyone. Then got into an accident and couldn't get any parts to repair the vehicle (only dealership nearby wouldn't even send in the order and also they're splitting from Hyundai dealer network so they won't have parts for service). My insurance ended up totaling the car. Ruined the experience for me, I would consider it if I moved back to the East Coast again. Dealership experience is a big factor for many people and Genesis is still lacking in that part, but they make great cars.
How bad was your accident? Im currently in the same boat been two months waiting for parts on my 22 g70
Same dealership experience in CA, Bay area. The car itself is nice but the service, maintenance, dealerships is a joke
Shocked to hear this. That really sucks... I'm in Canada (also East) and service has never been anything other than exemplary.
Hello Joe from London. Love your reviews. You and The Topher from Michigan are the best car advisors in the world from thousands of reviewers.
There it is🥳
My daughter's been going straight to the inside to see when you would mention rubiks cubes again😂👍
I agree with you Joe. The instrument cluster should be either full digital, or the tachometer should be analog. That way it would be symmetrical.
Looks awesome Joe.
I am so glad that you are all about this one.
Amazing review Joe.
I've had three 2020 a 2022 and a 2024 now... I've been a customer of Genesis for about five years and I can honestly say I have zero complaints none!
I don't think I'll ever buy another vehicle that isn't a Genesis.
That is so fantastic to hear! Thank you for sharing that great ownership info.
Good zonk on the black roof had me and my wife nodding in agreement! Excellent zonk indeed‼️👍
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
You are the best brother man!
Ambient lighting Genesis, come on!!
i just saw genesis catching FIRE.
Agreed! Nice to see so many car manufacturers putting in ambient lighting. Makes the night drive way better. The ladies also love it!
@@dark6c159 where? I haven't heard anything and I'm on every genesis sub, Facebook page. Stop lying
@@i.d.6492why you replying that troll
For sure !!!!!!!
That color is off the chain
Hey Raiti's Rides Could You Review The 2024 Audi
A5 45 S line Premium Plus
Saw one at the recent auto show and agree it is a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L automobile and well built.
Great job on the video (and so many of your videos are spot on!) Had a 23 G70 AWD 2.0 and now have a 21 G70 3.3 RWD w/ Sport Prestige pkg. I much prefer the overall look of the 21, the headlights w/ the copper accents look just right and a bit sinister, The front lower bumper has more of a sport look w/ the sharp angles and smaller grill. The rear lower section of the bumper looks much better on the 19-21s than the large black plastic section that comes up the back of the trunk that looks cheap on the 22+ models, and the lower diffuser panel looks just right on the pre 22s IMO. Performance is the same through the years, so going by looks alone I like the previous version best. I do miss the larger touchscreen on the 23 but that's it :) And the black 5 spoke wheels on the 19-21 Sports are simple but a great looking wheel that goes well on a sport sedan. Those 24 wheels in the video are just too busy, like so many wheels these days, and prefer my Brembos to say Brembo, not Genesis on the caliper :)
At any rate, these are great cars for the price point and often overlooked, definitely worth a look and a drive if you're in the Sport sedan market, and the 3.3 is a great motor for this chassis for sure!
Maybe when my 21 is tired and old I can pony up for a used 25 G80 magma, now that's one sexy beast!
The Hyundai story on VHS made me genuinely lol
Thanks for letting me share the cars and the laughs with you!
100% agree about the instrument cluster!!! So awkward having it be half analog half digital lol. Definitely looked very KIA-ish 😂
Thanks for the coverage my friend Joe, I love the Genesis G70 and will be buying it soon ♥️😍
Underrated sedan for sure.
People should know this exist!
You are so very right about that!
Have they been keeping it a secret?
I own 2021 model year and it's been best a bang for buck, quick reliable, fun to drive and you get lots of goodies. With tune and meth you're easily at 430whp. Btw I have forward facing camera for 360, that's strange that it doesn't, perhaps it's not sport prestige
Beautiful design!
Hey Joe! Great job once again! Would you go for this or the Lexus IS 500 you just reviewed?
Gorgeous interior design!!😮😮🎉🎉🎉
I am so glad that you like this one Angel!
Yeah, I want the full digital dash with right/left blind spot cameras - not just showing on the right.
I think it would make one heck of a differece!
2 Einstein bangles & a bottle a yoohoo in the door is a win in my book
I was comparing these exact two cars and although I liked the M340 better I found a 2023 CPO G70 Prestige w/ the 3.3 Twin Turbo for nearly 20K in savings and I couldn’t pass it up. The Prestige level addresses the camera issues, but you’re still stuck with that 1/2 digital dash unfortunately.
The m340i also has a turbo engine, and it is an inline 6.
What did you mean by the turbo on the Genesis will give you a quicker boost?
Thanks.
love my 22 G70
I am so glad that you like it!
I just bought a 2019 3.3T advanced paid slightly below regional average a couple months back and it still lost 5-6 grand depreciation lmao.
i bought a 2022 Q8 last June lost 10k+ already but hey
I have a '21 3.3t and its pretty disappointing. Lost so much value already... Much worse than its German counterparts.
😂 sorry for your loss, but this is kinda good news for those of us who are wanting to buy used
@@jaker6037how come?
@@josephomole6404really? What about having to worry about negative equity , since it’ll keep losing value🤔
All black top would look better, agree with you on the zonk Joe!
I love the black and red on the inside 😍 ❤🖤
13:49 Looks like we gotta get the Twinkies ready for that movie!
I think you are so very right about that!
Love this car, looks fantastic but I think I'd go for a TLX.
You may not care but the Genesis drives much better
@@shinedownfly the TLX Type S beat the G70's time at MotorTrend's Figure-8 and Car & Driver's Lightning Lap. The Acura is clearly the better handler.
@@shinedownflyyou haven’t driven either lmao stop talking.
TLX type S or IS 500 ?
Spouting out track times and Nurburgring records when someone mentions handling is really smooth brain activities.
Man that's 4 zonks before you even stepped inside the car. Probably the most zonks I ever seen you hand out. Anyways I have a 2022 in Siberian Ice and absolutely love the way this car drives & handles. I do prefer a little bit bigger of a car, but the G80 with this engine was just a bit out of my budget. But i can promise, this car is Fast! Go out and test drive this car yourself and I promise you will fall in love with it. Very luxurious inside, with a great sporty driver experience
Car looks great. I am thinking that they tried all black on the roof, and it just looked like one big window, so they made it blend with the body instead of the front and rear windows.
I drove the old Hyundai Genesis RSpec and it was one of the best cars I ever drove. That thing could shovel with the 430 hp. Drive a Kia Stinger now. Another great car. The South Koreans know the score.
This is the ‘sport advance’ (middle tier) package - top tier is called ‘sport prestige’, and has alot of the features missing here (e.g. 360 camera, electric powered trunk, blindspot camera, and more)
Should've reviewed the sport prestige trim. Interior looks totally different
isnt this the prestige? i thought the prestige only came with brembos.. i have a 23 sport advanced
@@cloudkvng6520 sport prestige trim gives you the diamond quilted seats and a leather wrapped horn cover. You also get a heads up display, limited slip for RWD, nappa leather, and abunch of other stuff
If it had more back seat leg room, i would have purchased one last month...
Your my guy! Love how you crack joke and tell the truth with them zunks 😂
Lol I’m listening to some of the zonks, and going, “Hey, he’s got a point” especially with the sunroof part. Just paint the whole thing black! Or give it a panoramic sunroof
Yeah of course Joe and this car is my daily.
Quit lying.
@@ivanlowjones lol
@@Sergesedd22
This jabroni claims to own every car that's reviewed.
Previously owned a 2020 Stinger GT1. Would return to this ride before choosing a Genesis G70.
Still loving mine. I agree 💯
your analysis is spot on comparing g70 to m340i in performance
I really appreciate you taking the time to say that!
Good overall review, Joe. Can't understand why they didn't do the whole top in black.
You have I are thinking alike for sure!
how come everywhere except the us genesis has a full digital gauge cluster? i’ve even seen 2021 ones with them in europe
Tough one Raiti. That straight 6 TT in the m340i is very impressive. And so we'll balanced.
Hey, Joe! There is a 3.3T sport trim above this one that does give you a front camera, the leather stitched horn cover on the steering wheel, and quilted Nappa leather seats. And, you get nicer alloy wheels and other extras (at least in Canada). Is that the top trim in the US?
Yeah but for the price tis should has it all.
2024 sonata dash and infotainment in here would go crazy 🐝
Was saying the 25 k5 dash would look great too lol
Forward facing camera with multiple angles is standard on the 3.3 Prestige Sport (along with 360 degree camera)
I have a front camera on my 2019 2.0 dynamic. I’m kinda surprised there is. 3.3 that doesn’t have one
"Standard" aka click the options box for another 4k to get it.
@@neemanon This isn't a Merc or a BMW... Comes as is. That is why a similarly equipped Merc is 15K more and BMW 10K more. I have a 3.3 Sport and I would have had to add a whole bunch of packages on both to get what came stock with the G70. Drove all 3 and neither the Merc or the BMW were worth the extra $$$ IMO.
@@antoinenosotti2548 pretty sure it has an options box to click.
Still didn't update that ancient transmission stick?
Nice car 🔥
I have the 2020 3.3T Sport and I prefer the exterior style of that model vs. the 2024. But the inside is definitely much nicer in the 2024. That shade of red I love. The exterior color I love too but would want some different style rims. And I 100% agree with you pain the entire roof the same color please. Good review mate.
Cubes while you are chilling lmaooo.
The m340i is still my preferred choice
Blows my mind that you still can't get ventilated seats in an M340i though!
@@mattcrowell3851I’m trying to plan what to upgrade my 2018 Accord EX to, and by all means an M340i is the frontrunner, but the lack of vent seats is such a mood killer, especially for these AZ summers
@@ffac789 I hear that. Texas here! Ventilated seats are a must! Ventilated > heated - 100%!
@@mattcrowell3851 right? I mean yeah a cold seat is kind of annoying but that warms up eventually anyway. The AC can never get to my back and ass comfortably.
No rear vent seats and you pay how much for that?🤡
Joe, there are forward cameras somewhere, even if not in the grill. Don't think I'd want the roof painted black. The black paint would absorb way more heat in the summer, than any light colored paint. Would make the car hotter inside, and slower to cool with AC. the black glass does not absorb heat the way black painted metal would.
No ambient lighting ?
All I want to know from Joe is, are sedans not going to be a thing for the future ? Is it really going to be all about SUV’s and SUV’s only?? Something that has been on my mind for months especially after I purchased my TLX Type S.
i dont agree with the roof zonk only because i think it depends on the color. mine is the gunmetal lookin silver and i think its fine as is
Nope, love my 2024 M340ii! Test drove everything in between and it was such a drastic difference.
Good Car! Looks very nice.
Although there is a move toward a digital instrument cluster; there is something to be said for an analog speedometer and tachometer. Keep the digital more to the infotainment area.
My '23 G70 sport prestige 3.3t RWD has a forward-facing camer...it's right above the sensor unit in the grill. I wonder if they got rid of it for 2024?
no. he reviewed a base model
It's still there.
I love em. Gorgeous machine. Raiti will you go s209 subby is the question
Oh I would all day long!
I am going S209 all day long Korey!
@RaitisRides so rare and timeless. When you do, you have my first like good sir.
This is what happens when Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, and Jaguar have a baby.
truer words have never been spoken
Jaguar LMAO? Nah like Mercedes, Bentley and Aston Martin
Wait are you saying the car is good or no
Putting stabby things in the back of my seats is a priority for me, thank you Raiti's Rides for the warning!
But does the G70 leak oil from every plastic engine component? If it keeps all oil then it can’t be compared to the BMW.
That is a great question! I guess it depends on who you ask.
My stinger doesn't
@@kyoakland The Stinger has the same engine as the G70 so that's expected.
Great looking car! Wish has KIA Stinger sport hatch!
You should review the 3.3 Sport model. Different beast... Comes with the front camera, Michelin PS4S's (255-35-19 rears, 225-40-19 fronts), panoramic sunroof and other things you mentioned were lacking. IMO, best bang for the buck in the performance luxury sedan category.
Does anyone know what model iPhones the new wireless charging systems with Toyota it will work? I have an 8 Plus iPhone.
That is a great quetsioj!
Beautiful car and the more you look at it, one can identify that Hyundai's using the main cues from Mercede's!
Ngl, a forward facing camera can be handy. Even if it's not to some people, a luxury model should have it equipped regardless.
Yes! Paint it black……Rolling Stones 😃😎
Great song Tom!
I can't wait to buy one of these with the 10k depreciation premium in a year or so.
I'm a little hurt the stinger got discontinued but the G70 stays they have the same driving platform
Genesis website shows the trunk is unchanged in size - still only 10.5 cu. ft., NOT 13. The small trunk and cramped back seat were deal breakers for me when I was cross-shopping the G70. I like the styling and the new wheels seem nice. Hard pass on the red interior, would choose the blue exterior over the bland white. Nice price compared to BMW and Acura, but depreciation could be pretty steep (at least according to Edmunds).
I feel like genesis is not giving the G70 the features it deserves to shine- we get the half analog/digital instrument cluster, the thick integrated turn signal lamps in the mirrors, no ambient lighting, and no park assist options whatsoever (even basic fwd and reverse). The prestige variants of the G70 at minimum should be special enough to command those basic features that genesis gives its other models. Not to mention the lack of wireless smartphone projection which hopefully will come soon via an OTA update.
4 doors for more….fun. I remember a different version of that saying 😂
Well I wonder if this is based on a Kia Stinger but I like the design.
It is I like the stinger more but probably because I have 1
Isn’t that also the same or similar engine in the Kia Stinger??
Still wish it was full digital cluster like Korean versions
same engine as kia stinger gt?
Yup!
Great review! I would Zonk those mud guards. They kinda look out of place on a sports sedan.
Good call on that one.
So, this or the TLX Type S?
no twisty bits?
Beautiful
I am so glad that you are digging this G70 Ryan.
It seems to be quite heavy, which is comparable to the tlx type s. I wonder how much the 340i weighs.
That is a great question!
Looking at this or the lexus is350 f sport. Used of course. Similar prices but big differences on both.
That is so true!
10:16 Good call on that! I might try that out if I were to own the Genesis 😎
10:21 He can?! Wow! That guy should go for the championship, he’d easily win! Tell him I said that
Very cool!
I sure will!
@@RaitisRides Sounds good!
Love the G70!! Only wishing more horse power and a bit more aerodynamics would help this beast!, great review Joe!!
How much horsepower would you like to see? Thanks man!
@RaitisRides it has the same HP since 2022, 365hp. I would hope to get at least 375 or 380hp
@@Angelbonilla1982 They claim 368hp in Sport mode. How that makes any difference is beyond me.
The 340M makes 382hp
@@Angelbonilla1982 And that's why it's faster.
Not even a comparison between the 2! M340i is on another level…
Nice one ! Genesis has some great styling……very classy……just like you and I Joe 😁……as well as Lori and all the Raiti’s rides subs. Not sure about Steven Flood yet 😂
Thought they were meant to update the dash to a digital one for the 2024
That is what I thought so as well.
Climate control went digital. They probably stopped there since it's being discontinued for 2025.
my last two vehicles were white with gun metal gray wheels. I powder coated the wheels black and wrapped the roof in black. Too bad Infiniti and Acura and Genesis make me do this after market
That is really nice Josh!
Own a 22 model 3.3t torque is good. But damn you feel the weight on the curbs. Sure the competition does too. Traded my Type R for this. Might get the FL5. Something about lighter cars feel more alive.
I would go FL5! Thanks for sharing that view from your experience Adrian!
Is it worth getting even though they’re phasing out the g70?
They’re not phasing it out
Weird how the 3.8 NA motor that came out in 2013 said to have 348 Horse power . weird how adding twin turbos they say 365. might be under cut ?
This is true!
Smaller displacement but considerably more torque, better drivability, and better mpg.
For the price absolutely.
11:29 The steering wheel looks a lot like it’s from a Dodge, Chrysler, or other Stellantis product but slightly changed. Probably just me who says that.
I think you may be right!
Isn’t this a rebadged Kia Stinger with a little more sound insulation?
Not quite like that.
prestige trim?
no. base trim
