The 2024 Genesis GV70 blew me away with its luxury and refinement. Now stronger than ever, is it a better pick than the #LexusNX #AcuraRDX #BMWx3 ?
GV70 offers an optimal fun-to-drive experience with its powerful performance fit for a rear-wheel drive-based SUV.
GV70 will be offered in the United States with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, as well as an optional 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 power plant.
GV70 will offer a total of four drive modes including eco, comfort, sport, and custom modes for dynamic driving in various road conditions. The Sport Package is also equipped with an additional Sport Plus mode.
GV70’s fun-to-drive nature is enabled by an enhanced body frame structure accomplished by increasing the ultrahigh tensile steel plates and expanding hot stamping steel plates. GV70’s performance is enhanced by reducing weight with lightweight technologies such as application of aluminum materials to the hood and tailgate.
Enhancing the Emotion of Driving through the GV70 Sport Package
The optional Sport Package offers an eye-catching and differentiated design that further enhances the dynamic nature of GV70.
The exterior design of the GV70 Sport Package presents a sporty and dynamic image with a strong blackout bezel, three-dimensional pattern of dark chrome garnished grille mesh design, exclusive bumper design, large circular exhaust tips, a body-colored diffuser and exclusive wheels. The interior design of the GV70 Sport Package also emphasizes dynamic elements with unique interior colors, a bespoke steering wheel, and carbon fiber details on the console and door as options.
Genesis announced that its lineup of GV70 SUV models will begin assembly in the United States joining the Electrified GV70 which started production earlier this year. A significant investment of over $300 million has been made to enhance the production facility to accommodate future growth which includes GV70. Warehouse space has been added and modifications to the stamping and weld shops will allow for the creation of the vehicle bodies.
“We are pleased to bring further assembly of Genesis vehicles to the United States, bolstering availability of our products and investing in our communities,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America.
GV70 is currently the best-selling model in the Genesis lineup and the localization of its assembly in the United States is a significant step forward in delivering the highly desired model to American consumers. Starting with the 2024 model year, all GV70 vehicles for the U.S. market will be assembled in Montgomery, Ala.

Good review. I bought one of the very first local 2022 GV70 3.5 Sport Prestiges back in 2021. Love it, almost 3 years in I would buy it again, former BMW and Jaguar owner, Genesis is earning its place with the established brands.
In December of 2022 I purchased a 2023 2.5T Select (to add the pano roof and ventilated seats) in Cardiff Green with Black Interior. Paid $48k w/ tax/title etc. Hands down the best car I have ever owned; even over the BMWs and Lexus I have previously driven. Smooth, quiet, quick, comfortable. I could not ask for more. It's still the unicorn here in California. Not many on the road. In the 1.5 years of ownership, I have never seen another green one. People compliment me weekly on how it looks. I would highly recommend and would buy one again in a heartbeat.
I’m looking @ the same vehicle in the Cardiff Green…it’s different and nobody has it! I’ve owned Caddy’s & BMWs so now time to try something new. Going for a test drive soon of the 2.5 sports prestige package.😊
As someone who works for Lexus but also a Genesis owner of the Gv80 and g70 sedan.
Someone who's bought multiple cars from different luxury brands Genesis It's by far my favorite so far It even comes with the most benefits. Genesis has came up very strong to the point there's a lot of things that they do way better even quality in certain vehicles than Lexus by a huge margin. Not only that there's a few co-workers that work with me at Lexus to have got rid of their Lexus models and went for Genesis. So now our manager gets on us about not trying to own a Lexus 🤣🤣. And on top of that I've even lost customers to Genesis because they found it much better and actually easier to use in some cases due to the certain models than the Lexus.
I love the GV70s design and it was between that and the NX but trying to reach the infotainment screen and controls was so much better in the Lexus. With out any dealers I went to one of the Genesis events at which I was just left to my own with the catering staff serving drinks gave me little confidence to buy it. Add to that no hybrid system..
One detail that does bother me on the exterior of the GV70 is where the front-most points of the hood in between the top headlight housing and the top left corner of the grille don't exactly sit flush into the overall "face" of the car and it looks like there's a gap right above the headlights from a visual perspective.
Granted, I know that it's a detail that's difficult to work with given the fact that the upper headlight housing on the GV70 is so high up. As a result, there's not enough space between the hood and the housing. Despite this little nitpick, it wouldn't deter me from getting a Genesis GV70 over the likes of a Mercedes Benz GLC or BMW X3. Regardless of what you may think about Korean automakers' reputation in terms of reliability, they have created some very eye-catching vehicles and it has done wonders for them.
Actually, believe it or not it, it was 100% done intentionally. The reason they did it was to helps frame the headlights better. Hard to explain, but basically if they did not do that, you would have a traditional body cut through there that would draw more attention. A couple additional benefits is should allow air to flow better around that section. Also their likely are benefits to better quality control by designing the hood/front section like that.
Even though it sounds counterintuitive, this design choice allows the connection between the hood and front end to be more seamless when viewing from more than 5-10ft. Up close it bothers me to but I believe it was the right decision overall
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 I suppose that does make sense. Although something tells me that they could've done something else. Especially when you consider that the GV70 is the only vehicle in the lineup that has this design cue.
Thank you for covering the engine stop start. It is a very big deal, and no RUclipsrs ever mention it. I would have returned a 2023 immediately
Nice shade of blue. Good ride. The interior (mostly the dash) looks like a 60s Chrysler.
No smart access on the back? That burns me up! Same problem on the Mazda CX-90.
He didn’t cover it. You stand behind the vehicle for 3 seconds and the lift opens
Genesis feels like when Infiniti was at its height with the G, EX, FX, etc, except with even better tasteful interiors and the necessary modern electrified versions, and actual large flagship models.
Hopefully Genesis keeps the excellence going for a long time coming.
Actually, Infiniti was and still is more prestigious than Genesis because Infiniti engine options are much better specced. The only problem with Infiniti is their CVTs. But mechanically, Infiniti, Lexus, and Acura has much better technology than Genesis.
@@mrgurulittle7000I AGREE.. I don’t even like those brands that much, but at least they have HISTORY😅 they all have contributed to their titles and popularity. Hyundai wants to play with the big dogs all of the sudden but it’s not gonna happen. Copycats, they are..
@@christianbryant5617You bring up a good point. Genesis has no history and the best they can do is to cover up their cheap garbage power train with a knockoff Bentley designed body, and a wanna be luxurious interior. I’m surprised though, at how many people Genesis managed to sway. People swear their life on Genesis when only 5yrs ago they didn’t exist.😂🤷♂️
@@mrgurulittle7000 Exactly. Finally a person who appreciates the car industry and understands what it means to be a true luxury brand!
@@mrgurulittle7000 never underestimate the premium that people will pay for shiny stuff that's actually cra.p
I do like the door sunshade
Did you find these seats more comfortable and not as stiff as Genesis' standard seats and doesn't the larger engine really provide a better driving experience than the 4 cylinder ?
Someone let me know when you turn in you lease on one.
This in the blue interior interior is 🔥🔥🔥.
$70K is too much tho. $60K would be more reasonable as it's a compact size. I ended up getting the EV6 GT for $50K which has everything that I need. I'm in love with that GV80 Coupe tho. 😍
Tried to get my wife to buy one of these, I have a G70, so I wanted us to have a His and Hers... She ended up buying a 2023 Santa Fe instead 😂😂😂.... I'm very upset. Although, the santa Fe was much better on the budget coming at $40k for the Calligraphy trim which has the exact same tech and features as in this $70k GV70. Not to mention you have alot better rear passenger room and trunk space in the Santa Fe.
I’ll buy it in a heart beat if I can afford it
Nice.
Ha! Funny title. The only thing the NX excels in over the GV70 is resale value and reliability. When it comes to everything else they aren’t even in the same league.
Nope. Mechanically, the NX is more luxurious. It uses a platform that all the most luxurious Toyotas and Lexus’s use, and the power train is the most efficient engine options or hybrid and plug in hybrid options. Your GV70 only has two mediocre engine options that aren’t known for reliability or performance, and the diesel option is just an engine pulled out of a Hyundai Accent. The GV70 is not a luxury car by all means except design and brand purpose. The Lexus on the other hand is a true luxury vehicle that is more refined and a better deal in every aspect. GV70 is a glowed up turd.
The NX 450h+ technology destroys this.
@@mrgurulittle7000the NX is literally a RAV4. It doesn’t even offer a unique engine as a “Lexus.”
@@DexLewis-rb9sbActually, you got it backwards. The “just a RAV4” is based on the luxury platform that bases the Crown series, numerous other Lexus, Toyota Century, Toyota Alphard, and Toyota Venza. The RAV4 is based on this luxury Lexus platform. That’s how it is.
The NX also offered a hybrid, which you Genesis fanboys can only dream about. And the GV70 has a diesel engine from a Hyundai Accent. How’s that luxury to you?
@@mrgurulittle7000 😂😂😂 give it up bro. You sound completely obsessed with Toyota. He’s absolutely right, the NX is heavily based off of a RAV4. Any source says this. Also there’s plenty of articles that says you should skip the NX plug in hybrid and just buy the RAV4 plug in hybrid instead.
The tachometer is backwards... That's crazy annoying...
And did you say that the dashboard caused you to be.....
NAUSEOUS?????😮😮😮😮
You can turn the 3d effect off
I disable any start stop or cylinder deactivation in AMY vehicle, any vehicle. The side effect is not worth.
Same
Are they coming out with the coupe or not?
No need for GV70.
@@KirkKreifels I've been waiting for the GV80 coupe to come out for a minute now. Still crickets since the auto show revealed the car. Would've thought it would be released for journalists to test drive by now
@@0LLy796There are people test driving them but not in the U.S.
@@0LLy796 Check out reviews from the other countries. Basically gonna be the same car as the GV80 normal body style.
Love this GV70, although a PHEV version will be perfect for guilt free driving pleasure. The electrified version is a bit low in range
They need to find a way to hybridize their 2.5t
Genesis recently revised their EV transition. They will still come out with a lot of EVs, but they also will do phevs soon. Let's hope!
I absolutely love this vehicle ❤ what spectacular design 😊 love the lights
Really nice but the interior is starting to look dated especially with the infotainment center compared to the new GV80 coupe. That car is perfection.
Nice but I just can’t get past the AMC Gremlin side styling
Gremlins a freaking legend! I'll fight anyone who disagrees
@@ggusta1I’ll fight with you as well. Because calling this glazed Hyundai crap a Gremlin is a huge insult to the American icon.🇺🇸💪
70k..... that's rx territory... WTH.
And you can get the GV70 in a a diesel option with the exact same engine used in a Hyundai Accent. 😂 WTH is right.
Do we get a spare tire with this?
Did you watch?
I doesn't appear he did lol
Absolutely beautiful. Love love love the Korean auto giants. They're really pushing the industry forward.
It'll be in dealership shops every other week. HyunDie-Kia boys dream upgrade.
Price and luxury is there but is the reliability?
Genesis is reliable over all
Kirk,
Some of the interior refinement you gushed about with the six cylinder are sadly absent from the four banger. 3D (which I like - you don’t-fair enough), nicer seats, ventilated front seats, upgrade sound system, massage, etc. Genesis eliminated that package for 2024 which is a shame. Still a nice car, but not a luxury vehicle any longer.
Yes but those lesser GV70 also have a $50k price tag
The 2.5t sport prestige still have everything this one has besides HUD and some other stuff I don't remember (definetely have the ventilated seats). What you are referring to is the advanced trim which got a lot of features cut off.
Imo still little pricey for $60k when the Q5 and Rdx at that price are both fully kitted out with the similar engine. Then again those two look ancient nowadays.
It is smaller then I though or remember when I saw it
Would pick up a second hand Gv80 if I have to chose but then why not a new Gv80 if u can?
I chosed Jaguar F pace myself but if they a immersive screen setup I will change vechicle
To be honest, i had the chance of sitting in few models at our recent auto show. i thought i was going to be more impressed with elegant interior. I was not impressed by the opulent interiors, however i was extremely impressed by the restraint shown in the interior's design. They show much more gaudy on screen/print.
I've been a loyal Toyota/Lexus owner but if Genesis can show long term reliability, I'll give a them a very good look when i buy again.
Kirk, I hope reports of the NX's demise are being exaggerated. We Canadians gifted Toyota hundreds of millions 🤑to get NX production moved to Ontario.
It is being exaggerated by the anti Toyota following. Lexus NX is in huge demand and one of the best selling luxury crossovers in the US. Besides, the little secret weapon Lexus uses to compete with competition, is called reliability. Genesis ranks at the bottom next to Lincoln and Jaguar, whereas Lexus rules the luxury market in reliability. This is why Lexus has been undefeatable by the Germans, Americans, and now the Koreans. You Canadians made a smart move.👍
Lexus is always targeted but if you want to own a car and not lease it then buy lexus/toyota
@@campacorentinestation8526That’s exactly the reason why Lexus is targeted. 💯
That drive selector prndl is the same thing as a jag xjl. It's azzzz.... Very non intuitive.
Love it, but can’t justify that 70k. You can be in a X5 or GLE450 for that kind of $$. The value propostion that Genesis had is sadly lost.
For $50k, it's a solid buy. Not $70
I hate when people like you make apple to orange comparisons. A base GV70 costs ~59K and is loaded at 69K. A 2024 X5 Xdrive40i with ZERO options cost ~68.5K and a 2024 Mercedes GLE450 with ZERO options cost ~71K. Add all the features of the GV70 and you are looking at AT LEAST 80K-85K. Completely different price bracket.
And even at that price, the GV70 STILL has a higher quality interior with better materials (leather/leatherette on the seats/dashboard/door panels, real metal trim, switchgear quality, etc). Hell the GV70 has a higher quality and luxury interior than a brand new 100K+ Porsche Macan GTS with all its fancy 5K leather package that I was checking out. For under 100K, the Genesis, bar none, have the highest quality interior of any "premium" sedan/SUV brand. Only other vehicle of such high quality I can think of checking out is a LC500. BMW, Benz, Audi, etc still use more plastic/soft touch plastic, etc. I've checked out all the German brands recently and all disappointed when it came to interiors compared to the latest Genesis.
On the flip side, some of the other premium companies offer better powertrains, efficiency, and driving dynamics. Specifically the Benz/BMW I6 48v is so damn nice and Toyota's hybrid system is nice even if not super refined. Porsche easily still have the best driving crossovers. But at the end of the day, I expect all that for the higher prices they charge... I also expect them to have a Genesis rivaling interior for those higher prices compared to Genesis.
At the end of the day, the SQ5, X3 M40i, GLC43, etc all cost 70K+ loaded and have significantly worse interior quality/luxury. They may drive better but they all feel about as expensive inside as a mainstream brand higher end models. Sure it is fine but not very special and substantial. Furthermore none of them come with a 10 year/100K mile warranty. Given Genesis has had a solid reliability track record since its inception, it's one of the few performanc-ish premium brands you can buy and keep for 10 years without having to worry about incurring heavy maintenance costs.
@@KirkKreifels 1000% agree
These are very beautiful, but like every new vehicle based on an entirely new platform it'll come with its share of issues. Stay away from the e-lsd equipped in the Prestige models, it has been very problematic. Same with the 4 cylinder engines, random misfires reported on those. Find a V6 with the regular AWD (not e-lsd) and you're golden! Those seem to have little to no issues. And Hyundai V6 engines have a pretty good record of reliability, same with their discontinued V8. Some going past 200,000 miles with only regular maintenance. Every brand has issues these days, including Toyota and Lexus. Look up all of the engine failures on the forums for the new Tundra (same engine as on the LS500) and the differential issues with the newly released Tacoma (it even happened to one reviewer, TFL Car, it was all recorded) the Tacoma broke down on them while testing, quite hilarious actually but very concerning!
Read the Genesis forums and you will see the many issues this vehicle has been having. Removed from Consumer Reports recommended due to very low reliability score.
Forums are sample sets of one. I’ve seen forums of Toyotas where they have issues with technology and in some the sunroof has to already be replaced within a couple years of ownership.
@@naveenthemachineThose are the facts bruh. Genesis ranks ridiculously low in reliability with the cheap Hyundai power trains they use. Comparable to Lincoln and Jaguar quality.
@@naveenthemachine forums are a sample sets of...however many people are in that forum lol.
if 1 forum is complaining about the issues and that forum has 1 million users...wouldn't that be a big deal you'd think
@@naveenthemachineyou are a troll though. Consumer reports took the results from thousands of owners and determined it’s an unreliable vehicle.
@@sammydavis991 2023 Consumer report ranking put Genesis at 18, higher than Audi, volvo, ford, VW, Mercedes to name a few.
Hyundai and Kia are both 10th and 11th and the ones on top of them are Honda, Toyota, Mazda, BMW, Porcshe, and Subara which are all very reliable cars.
I really don't get this hate for Hyundai/Kia/Genesis. it seems like every time a reviewe come out everyone just dog pile on them.
I miss the FX...
Nice interior. Wouldn't want a red interior with kids.
Infiniti FX’s true successor
how so when the V8 FX is still faster than this
Not off of a dig, this has more torque.
Plus barely anyone ordered their FX with the 4.5 and 5.0. Most were 3.7 and 3.5 anyway.
@@LouAntonioGiordano it does sub-5 seconds easy and it would pull away on the highway not to mention the FX has proven reliable over the years
@@SuperSaqer Well the FX does not exist anymore and the new QX55 is a 4 cylinder.
So this is your best option
@@LouAntonioGiordano no the CX-60 is. I prefer the 3.3T inline-6.
Needs larger exhaust tips. A LOT larger.
I took a look at the GV60 as a replacement for the UX. I was disappointed with the interior. The gimmicky rotating crystal ball (how fast will that break?) put me off. Too much media (All the screens) and the "quilted" seats (shades of BMW) just screamed "I'm trying really hard to be different". Polestar (RIP) does it all better.
Say what you like (@naveen) about Lexus being a jumped up Toyota- their sales, quality build and satisfied customers are compelling arguments for the brand.
Such a nice car!
Nice job Kirk!
dead battery if no driving for 5 days?
Lexus design is more unique and consistent, interiors far better.... . Build quality and fit and finish of a Lexus also best of the best. Genesis is not Lexus, ...
Yet. That said, both Lexus and Genesis are lightyears better than Bmw, Mercedes and Audi when it comes to build quality.
Lexus interiors take a back seat to Genesis now. LC500 besides.
Not anymore. Lexus now has the worst interiors in the class
Even Infiniti has nicer cabins than Lexus.
@@KirkKreifels don't agree...... . Autovisie, major car authority in the Netherlands and one of the oldest carmagazines of Eurooe compares Lexus, RX, LS, LC with Bentley and RR.... . Genesis is a very nice car but interior design is old fashioned, dates very quickly. Like Lexus/Infinity in the days....Infinity didn't make it...
@@naveenthemachine Ehh they are kind of tied. Lexus has a bit better tech, but I do think Infiniti sometimes has better materials here and there. either way both are behind the top competitors IMO
Genesis is by Lincoln in drive quality and reliability, and I feel bad for saying that because I love Lincoln. Lexus is Lexus and a whole newer level in driving dynamics and power train technology.
I so can't freaking wait for the GV80 coupe!!
So sad, the NX has been nothing but a huge hit in the market. Beating it's own records... Kirk the fact you keep constantly insisting Lexus mimic this glittered 💩 cone, tells me you are easily impressed. Say what you will the NX is doing extremely well and all owners are loving it (Myself included). This brand has stranded many but hey... By all means. Buy your attention grabber. I value many other important factors when purchasing a vehicle.
NX hybrids are great. The GV70 gas models are more impressive than NX 350.
@KirkKreifels the 3.5 v6T is going to be better than the Lexus 2.4t. More displacement.
At that price, I will just get X5 with more interior space.
CX-60 better
Yes but only in Europe
Very important deal breaker question:
Are the cup holders deep enough to handle a full Stanley cup without a lot of tip over risk?
Asking for a friend
Good looking I love it too but not reliable like Lexus
A four cylinder for luxury buyers commanding that money? No thanks. And agree with the people here. If I buy a Genesis give me the flagship V6 engines.
The car has a built in launch mode, USE IT.
To me genesis design feels so European, Lexus on the other hand is so unique
great to have options!
Lexus in a good way?
Second row is very compromised if the driver is 6’ or taller. Not a reason not to purchase/lease but just a note.
BTW- the four cylinder option has plenty of punch for a smaller vehicle but unfortunately many of the interior niceties are eliminated with the four banger.
No it’s not. Lexus is in a horrible position like Infiniti
In fact they’re worse than Infiniti now in most ways
@@naveenthemachine horrible position in like sales? the only time Lexus has been where Infiniti is now is when they first arrived in the states back in the late 80s / early 90s lol
Genesis styling is definitely intriguing…they are very good at eye candy, visually giving customers what they want…but they have a long way to go to match Lexus’ quality…a long way to go. Once they get close tho, watch out Lexus!
Agree. People are wooed by the design. But underneath, the GV70 has an engine from a diesel Hyundai Accent. The gasoline options are pretty mediocre and unreliable too. On the other hand, Lexus builds their car on the TNGA GA-K platform which bases some of the top notch luxury vehicles in the world, like the Century SUV, Toyota Alphard, Toyota Venza, and a whole bunch of other premium cars. The NX also has the most efficient hybrid and plug in hybrid systems in the world, whereas Genesis is lagging in electrification.
Starfish rims
For $4K more , I’ll GLADLY take the MDX TYPE-S Advance !
MDX type S is about as fast as the base 2.5T GV70. Base GV70 can be had for under $50k...but if you need 3 rows of seats, MDX type S is hard to beat for mid 70k
acura mdx has too many issues
@@user-bd9lw9jp9tGV70 has too many issues. Acura MDX runs circle around the GV70 in reliability, customer loyalty, and resale value. These are FACTS.
Two different segments imo. Type-S is a mid size 3 row SUV vs this being a compact 2 row. I would say if you have a large family get the MDX. If not the GV70 in pretty sweet. The sweet spot for the GV70 is the 2.5T Sport tho.
They both have too many issues.
Sincerely
Lexus
I was deciding this or the X3. Chose BMW. This is a Hyundai
Lexus is reliable, Hyundai/kia/genesis reliably…breaks, often.
😂👍Good one!
More reliable than Bentley and you get the knockoff Bentley grill at a 3rd of the price!!😂😂😂😂
Reliable and Boring as F
@@PeteBanfield😂As if Genesis isn’t boring. Nobody’s gonna take anyone serious driving a Genesis.
@@mrgurulittle7000 I test drove both cars last year and the genesis felt better to me in every way plus it also looks better inside and out, I didn’t buy any of them but if I had to it would be the GV70.
No smart access on the back … bad for the 70 price
Gotta have a 3rd row seat for $70K. All props for overall premium quality. Reminds me of LX 570 seat quality ie Napa leather
X3 M40i and RX500 are both over $70k when set up like this. I think it is right in line.
This is better than x3
These must be paid sponsors by Hyundai. All the reviews have been Hyundai Kia or Genesis lately.
Think he just reviews what brands are willing to send him, in the order he gets them. If he gets some genesis, hyundai and kia's all in a row then that's what we'll probably see
@@chibbyylolI think Hyundai paid him to pick those Lexus provocative titles. That’s a very Hyundai thing to do. Also, i bet you saw Naveen go crazy here.😂
@@mrgurulittle7000 eh I think having these kind of titles really rile up the comment section which probably boost the video for the algorithm in some way
@@chibbyylolIt shows who’s dominant though. When Kirk makes a Lexus video, people talk about their love or hate of Lexus. But when Kirk makes a Hyundai Genesis video, people still talk about their love or hate of Lexus. 😂Everyone mentally knows who’s dominant and that’s Lexus. Genesis isn’t even a luxury brand in my book.
Based on your logic, David Chao, a Toyota engineer, from Automotive Press is being paid off as well by the Koreans to give a positive feedback? 🤣🤣🤣 I imagine that the quality checks David performs on his videos are rigged too?
Nothing can be a Lexus regardless. GV70 is very good but Lexus is Lexus. Consumers just have choices which is a good thing.
Gas NX can't hold a candle to this. Lexus strength is in their hybrids.
No Lexus is just a fancy Toyota. Genesis is a Genesis. Because they don’t remind you of cheap Hyundai products unlike Lexus constantly remind you that you’re just driving a Toyota with lipstick. The UX NX RX TX ES are perfect examples of that as they share platforms with the Camry and corolla, two economy cars. Genesis doesn’t do any of that. They have their own EXCLUSIVE RWD platform
@@KirkKreifels no they aren’t. Who in their right mind buys a luxury car for fuel economy? They can get a Prius if they want that. They can Aleta get a rav4 which is literally the exact same car
So clearly the nx in a vacuum is a bad car. Because there’s no recommendable power train to choose from as is typical with any lexus
Agree. Genesis is too cheaply made, costs too much, and their power train technology is dinosaur. They ride like crap too. There no Lexus refinement in the ride quality.
Obviously nothing can be a Lexus because they're 9/10 times a Toyota :) Well said, thank you for pointing out the obvious.
Not a fan of this oversized grill with no bumper , than too much cheesy bling just looks corny .
Than comes Hyundai build quality and design that requires more recalls than any other brand . No thanks .
This Hyundai Genesis brand would make sense if was priced 10K less across the models .
soft close doors are a waste....glad the g70 doesn't bother
LoL. Pulling away.... Into a service bay.
They pick your car up for you lol
Never
Some look sharp. However, at the end of the day, they are still a Hyundai. Resale is atrocious. Why would you want a vehicle that looks like a Bentley?
Interior actually looks great, but low grade Hyundai guts are still low grade Hyundai guts.
What in God's name is that wheel design?
Why would anyone pay Lexus money for a Korean junk…
Naveen going crazy in the comments section.😂Looks like Hyundai gave him a raise to go bazaar in promoting Hyundai. Behind every prestigious Lexus is a wanna be better Genesis who’s led by a wanna be different and stick out Naveen.😂
Truly, he's a virus 🦠
Nah I’ll stick with a car with heritage and its own design language like Lexus, BMW, Mazda, Audi, Mercedes, Cadillac, Jaguar, Tesla, Buick, Porsche, and probably Acura and INFINITI too..
Lmao 22:18
Genesis is what Lexus used to be, providing great value and arguably more luxury then its competitors.
Lexus is now becoming what Infiniti used to be, which is to say on the verge of going out of business and not surviving. They’re pursuing ultimate mediocrity
Lexus thoroughly outclassed the S Class and undercut it by about half. Genesis is nowhere even remotely close to achieving anything like that.
@@SuperSaqer that was in the 90s…
This is 2024 not 1990
Now literally anything outclasses Lexus. Literally anything
@@naveenthemachine my guy naveen I thought you were ducking me how are you
@@SuperSaqer Yes but they were selling it at a loss so I don’t see how that’s a big accomplishment, while the Genesis products sell for a small profit.
We had a 2023 GV70 that was around $61k. Beautiful car but the build quality was terrible. Visible panel gaps, paint mismatched on some panels, and needed to be brought in to replace fuel injectors around 15K miles. Traded in for a 2024 Lexus NX and could tell right away the NX is a better choice.
There're many aspects to consider when you buy a car.
Lexus? It tops only 1 aspect among all. Reliability.
The rest? Mediocre.
lexus appeals to senior people, genesis to younger buyers who want more dynamic and tech
@@uludak8468Genesis appeals to younger people who’ve never experienced an unreliable car. In other words, stupid people buy Genesis.
Butt ugly wheels. Hope the engines and transmissions are more reliable than the others in the Hyundai line.
This car looks nice, but Genesis/Huyndai/Kia are junk cars, and even $40k is way too much for this. I have no idea would pay so much money on a Genesis.
Lexicon sound system.... Hmmmm .... That sounds a little like the name of a competitor's sound system.... Amirite
It’s still a Hyundai. The power train is dinosaur technology, and it’s not as refined to drive as any Lexus. Maybe it’s comparable to Lincoln or something like that, but not Lexus. They have a long way to go in terms of engineering to get Hyundai to be as luxurious as a Lexus. Design is subjective, and personally, it doesn’t look that great. Genesis isn’t a luxury brand at all.
I don’t understand the Genesis hype. Like if Lincoln made this, no one would give a crap. Why are people so obsessed with a mediocre crossover, calling it a Lexus killer when by sales and actual driving experience it proves to fall short of being a real competitor to anyone? Tesla and Genesis/Hyundai/Kia have got to be THE most overrated shit brands in the world. Any person with common sense would agree.
still enough to eat any V8 lexus on the straight line😅
@@uludak8468Kirk himself said that the GV70 has mediocre acceleration. So you’re not only dumb, but deaf.😂
😂 completely agree 💯💯
@@uludak8468 That’s the most bullshit off the top of your head statement you said.😂Kirk himself said the acceleration was mediocre.
@@omendarklight1526😂🤷♂️Genesis fanboys are unreasonable.😂
Let’s take a moment of silence for people with only two brain cells out there who have the balls to compare this old rough Mitsubishi technology dependent Hyundai engine, mediocre power train technology, with knockoff Bentley design, and poor reliability, as actually in the same ballpark as a base level Lexus.
You win the comment of the day
GV70 looking strong against Lexus but a Model Y Perf? not a fan of Teslas, but objectively id go MYP
Subjectively.
I can’t get beyond the Spider-Man web wheels. Too much. Too busy. Looks cheap.
You need a new eye glasses
@@papaagidi2838 You must be paid by Hyundai to post comments.
This car says: I'm desperate for attention.
Soon it’ll be time to say rest in peace Lexus because the brand is objectively nonexistent. Lexus has been objectively terminated by other brands like genesis and now Infiniti Mazda Hyundai kia as well
but Lexus sells more
:D
@@chibbyylol dear god 😂🙄
You still can’t grasp the very basic concept of “best selling ≠ best in class” !?
Based on your logic a rav4 must be better than a cx5 or gv70 because it outsells each of them. But again that’s just not how anything works
@@naveenthemachine no explain to me how the 'best in class' isn't also the 'best seller'. why would anyone pick the other options if it's the best?
@@chibbyylol because those other options are superior and better executed. Thats why.
Best in class isn’t the best seller. That’s generally not the case. A rav4 outsells a Porsche macan so it must be better than a macan.
facts show its just not.
@@naveenthemachinethough I doubt the rav4 is cross-shopped with the macan, but if one was cross-shopping the two and ended up with the rav4...they must've thought to be better no?
genesis all the way. lexus is outdated and cheaply made
Yeah, ok buddy!😂
You got the names switched. 😂
Lol😂😂😂😂😂
