My buddy has the G90 now previously had a S-Class but got rid of it because it spent 80% of its time in the dealer. And he said to me a real luxury is not wasting your time in a dealer getting your car fixed. I can’t agree more. So if you want to throw away money get a German car or if you want something that last get a Lexus, Genesis etc. Can’t beat a ten year warranty 👍🏻.
The G70 infotainment is way better than Lexus. Just got rid of my GS 350 F sport. Going to pick up a G70 sport instead.
Gsf?
Trading my IS350 F sport , pick up my G70 next week
@Tristan Han funny bc people make it sound like Toyota/Lexus retains most of its value and Hyundai/Genesis depreciates like crazy. Probably going to be comparable moving forward.
Dealer experience...... Genesis delivers cars to your home in a see through box. Also when it comes to servicing they come pick up your car and drop off a courtesy vehicle.....
Wow!
Love this car! Looks and drives amazing. Tech is easy to understand and fully functional. I do not mind the user interface being shared with Hyundai because its one of the best. Guy reviewing has clearly not used the Lexus touchpad interface. Id take Hyundai over Lexus ,Acuras, or Jaguars interface all day. Your wife gets it. She likes it.
I do wish they would hve a manual for the 3.3L TT and that they would did the copper accented grill like they had on the G80 Sport. Small quibbles
I've said a great number of negative things about the Lexus systems. - Ryan
@@drivingsports sorry I know. Was being a bit salty. Just think it's a good medium between the elite of the Germans (like you said) and the horrors of Japan luxury systems. Really it's just the Lexus system is so bad it's hard to complain as long as it's not Lexus touchpad
Blake Swan I don't get it either. I'm not singling this journalist out because they all do it. But no one complains about a 200k Mercedes maybach s class sharing infotainment with a 30k CLA which is just as (if not more) egregious than 55k Genesis sharing infotainment with a 25k Hyundai.
Buying a 3.3T Sport AWD this Saturday cant wait to rip up a back road and I live in the sticks of MO so they are a plenty
Do you still have it?
I don't get the complaints about the infotainment. If you've never been in another Hyundai would you know otherwise?.. As long as it's functional who cares. What makes it worse than the German brand systems? If anything the G70's screen is better integrated than those, especially Audi and Mercedes' which just look like a cheap Chinese tablet glued to the top of the dash.
I totally agree. If these reviewers didn't mention that it's from a Hyundai vehicles, no one would care.
Dennis Blair People are so hooked up on labels.
Hyundai and kia infotainment works great Simple to use and very intutive not like the other cars he mentioned
Also if you want to waste your money go ahead and buy the bmw and mercedes money pit
Genesis are so nice! I wouldnt mind having 1
I just got done driving the Kia Stinger GT with the v6 and it was the best sedan for under 60k that I have ever driven. I am sure the Genesis G70 will be just as good!
Keep in mind the C43 starts around 53k. The G70 3.3 starts around 43k
Exactly! C43 starts at 53k. Get a fully loaded g70 for about 51-52k. Mercedes is overrated, they are very beautiful cars, but not worth the money and trash warranty. Genesis FTW plus 10 year 100,000 mile warranty you cannot beat that
I got a 2020 AWD Stinger GT 3.3TT for 36k--right at the height of coronavirus.Car was 43k and since I told them I was outright buying it with a trade i owned--KIA and the dealership gave me 6k in rebates total.3 from dealer and KIA corporate matched it.I paid 19k out the door--own the car--have 30k plus in the bank cause I had a 50k budget.I have an exhaust and geomet rotors cross drilled.The car is now a perfect reliable super fast GT Sedan.BTW people say suburus and type r hondas are great at the track.Those cars would not be able to keep up with just the light mods I have done and even stock the stinger would prob beat them..The stinger is a full second quicker to 60 and if you go through the computers--you can set the car up to be a track monster.Some of these reviewers get not so good track times with the stinger AWD--yet not once have I ever seen any of them go through them menu and set the car up for it.You can enter a corner flat with AWD and mid corner punch it and the computer will BOLT it our of the corner--I drove a Type r honda and it simply does not have the power of the stinger.The only other choice I even considered after the stinger was an GLA AMG 45--the little SUV--but it had a poor warranty--the turbo engine in US models have a lot of problems.The stinger has abig V6 and it develops torque early and even though the ANG had similiar--even slightly faster acceleration times--the stinger felt faster because you did not have to floor it to get power.bTW I was looking at a 2019 or 2018 AMG cause that was the only way they were under 45k was slightly used.
I have a stinger GT.The entertainment system is easy to use.This was my first car in 10 years and i learned the tech by myself within about 7 to 10 minutes.BTW put your music on a USB port--you can use a free converter and it sounds fantastic.BTW i rented an Audi A6--I loved that 3d map and for a while wish my Stinger had it--then as i got close to nasheville it glitched/failed and never worked again till i brought the car back and it had to go into service to get it up and running.A6 was almost 70k--it had 2k miles on it and one of the major electronics failed/glitched and had to goto service to get it to work again.Mine is a 2020 AWD GT 3.3TT and nothing under 45k can compete.I got mine for 36k.--19k after my 10 year old trade I owned.I was about to get a Type r then i test drove a stinger--BTW I am no fanboy--I get niche cars every 5 to 10 years and a you tube suggestion came up.I was blown away by the performance--handling--warranty.Also coming from a honda crosstour--the Stinger interior was on par with a Honda--which to me is a compliment because all the buttons are tight--no gaps--and everything works and is tight.I never even knew this G70 existed until about a month after i owned my car and got on the forums.BTW KIA--Genesis--use that 3.3 TT in a lot of cars and it has excellent reliability.It also has the str8 line performance of a V8 muscle car or low end AMG--M cars which are 60k plus. Stats from KIA--2020 AWD Gt is 4.5 to 60 and 12.8 in the quarter--which does not surprise me.Car is so fast i just kep it in comfort because there is hardly ever a car in daily driving that can beat it--especially off the line with AWD.
The big turnoff for me for the German brands was warranty and they all look alike. You can buy a g70 and get a free 10 year/100k mile warranty without paying $5k+ extra. You also can’t tell the difference between an a4 and s4
It's a very impressive vehicle. Not as versatile but somewhat more upscale than the Stinger. Have to say, though, that Hyundai/Genesis seems to believe that diamond quilted leather spells "L-U-X-U-R-Y." Both in the Genesis brand and in the new Hyundai Palisade. For me, though, it recalls the sofa in my grandmother's living room half a century ago. :)
I agree with the overkill in the quilted pattern. A bit garrish, but I suppose it may be nice depending on the lighting and up close in person.
For infotainment system, g70 in korea has 3D cluster included for 2019 version, I'm sure that genesis will update this in NA market pretty soon.
No 3D cluster for NA. Canada already has the 2020 model. Only new feature is auto close trunk and blank button delete for 3.3T
@@Kaiju007 oh come on Genesis
Elisha Jesudason plus in Korea they have a halo light where the reading lights are too.
@@D_Space2024 they also have HDA, Rear View Monitor, and advanced seating control since their first model year.
Elisha Jesudason I don’t understand why they didn’t just give those options from the beginning in the states. However, I understand there are particular rules the U.S. puts in place for manufacturers. That 2020 Model in Korea would really change the game.
6MT is 255hp not 252hp. The Sport Exhaust in the 6MT adds 3hp more that the 8AT.
Elisha Jesudason won’t be able to tell the 3hp difference
He’s talking about Genesis is more advance than Hyundai. Um duh, of course
it would be more advance than Hyundai, because it’s luxury. Just like Infiniti is more advance than Nissan same with Lexus and Toyota, Acura and Honda.
Buying a car based upon how nice the dealership is when you’re there to get it repaired has to be the silliest thing I’ve ever seen in a RUclips car review.
Yeah a C-class might be slightly more premium and advanced, but I'm not spending 60k on a car that doesn't even have ventilated seats.
Also, there is nothing wrong with a basic infotainment. It gives you every necessary feature in a package that's familiar to everyone. The German systems are complicated and not user friendly for the average person.
NICE KOREAN LUXURY CAR
Now, Genesis please give us a RWD version of the 3.3T at a reduced cost.
Exactly! Rightly said: 12:30. :-) It’s not just the car itself; it’s the dealer experience.
Experience in the dealership is something an individual either values or doesnt. I have lots of things I'd rather do than sit in a dealer...the car is fixed? Great...see ya! If want a starbucks experience....go to Starbucks for coffee. Just saying
Ah shit. Get outta of here with the badge snobbery. Did you see that C-class interior?! Not even real leather.. MBTEX. Wow. So luxurious that you can ride to the dealer on cheap vinyl. Not to mention the plethora of standard safety features that the Genesis has. Even a C63 doesnt come standard with all of those.
Warranty, Durability,etc, are Top Notch..
if i dont get the c8 mid engine corvette, i'll prob get a genesis. mercedes and bmw are jokes compared to genesis for the money
No, you're not nitpicking. But it's ok for the price of that car. The comparable Audi, BMW or Mercedes would cost nearly twice as much. It's a "value" luxury you could call it. LOL
It reminds me of a bmw in looks quite a bit,
Especially the rear
so beautiful!
What’s the recommendation for a entry-level rwd sedan? Thanks
Stinger or G70 !!...if you want to have a $0.00 credit card balance !
These look great on the road, entry level luxury but needs to be in the $48-50k price range.
All modern infotainment technology ages like milk anyway. If that's where the cost cutting has to come, bring it.
Why does ever reviewer typically fail to mention this trim has A BLACK HEADLINER!!!!!
This guy is a total clown. Yes, its made by Hyundai. But its a Genesis. When he reviews a Lexus does he call it a Toyota all the time? The infotainment systems in BMW don't work very well because they try yo be so fancy they're hard to use. I'll take one that just works. And he'd take a slower Mercedes Benz? Also the average running cost of a C class or 3 series is approx $3500 a year. Genesis has the first 5 years of maintenance included in the price so you have no service charges. And it can walk away from a 340i any day of the week. The C class isn't even worth mentioning. Nor are this guys reviews.
Also the lexus infotainment is the worst in the luxury class...how can he miss that glaring defect....cmon. Man you need to improve how to handle your reviews
Scott Thomson for real this guy needs to get his shit together and call the car what it REALLY is not other shit. I’m a proud owner of a 19 G70 and I have had no issues and just love everything about it.
I don't like these tack on infotainment screens..
All looks good, not sure about depreciation.
Depreciation only matters if you plan on getting rid of the vehicle . If you plan on getting rid of it, just lease, it is cheaper
Dennis Blair Genesis leases do not seem to be very good value, more of a finance special.
coathooks on the b pillar. now won't your clothess get stuck between the pillar and the closed door? doesn't sound so great ...
rather have an infiniti q50 hybrid.
15 inches smaller than a stinger lol.
Some people dont care about the gadgetry and funky displays that detract from driving. C class in base version and the sea of shiny piano black and high gloss fake? wood look cheap. Upper versions of benz bmw and audi will smoke it performance wise and with the finishes but at what cost? 10 15 k more?
That birds eye view is a joke it does not even show the sunroof on the car!!!!For 50k 90% of people would opt for Mercedes or BMW they usually dont start having issues after 3 years.Lease them for 3 and get rid of them after that
Wow! Your answer to the unreliability of German cars is to lease them for three years, then dump them?
Here is a weird idea, just buy reliable car!
Way off on the 0 to 60 time....not sure how you got a whole second slower.
Magazines don’t test from 0. They use rollout. And not all of them use the same methodologies. We test from pedal down, which adds about a second - just like you see demonstrated in the video.
@@drivingsports I saw a similar 0 to 60mph time with yours. Car and Driver is notorious for grenading transmissions to get there times with a rollout like you stated. I appreciate these more accurate times you show
@@swanblake Genesis themselves state 4.7 with people getting under that in the heavier stinger. Elevation is a huge factor too
You will buy something quicker at this price point... Tesla model 3 dual motor performance 55k will do it at 3.2sec... even regular long range model that costs 49k will do 4.4sec...
@Tristan Han then why do you need g70 for? Just get Toyota Camry :) Sometimes it's good to have the maneuverability that actually might help you to skip the next light. I have a regular long range model and i enjoy the torque i get. Always so much fun!
I own a Genesis G70. Love it!. As far as Tesla goes, they make great cars. But I need more than an iPad on the dash to get me excited.
Tesla just seems like a kid's battery operated toy.
Dennis Blair well to each his own. I was here to potentially replacing my c300 with g70, while my wife enjoys her long range 4.4sec 0 to 60 model 3. Trust me you get used to Tesla pretty quickly and won’t miss anything from conventional cars. I drive her cars when we go somewhere far. I am planning on leasing my next car, since I don’t drive as much as my wife, and it’s not worth the insurance and down payment to get another Tesla.
Tesla ? Oh the great company that make batteries explode and catch of fire? LOL
Biofreak12 I don’t trust a car that can be controlled from the other end or get hacked I prefer g70
I'd take that over the KIA😏👍
dude you are picky this is the best car i have ever owned and by the way i have owned 7 genesis's
Would buy this over an Audi BMW Infiniti Merc and Lexus
This is gorgeous and everyone want have one like a piece of shit Mercedes and BMW
11:00 Well yes. My Chevy SS is faster, has more room and cost $19,000 less NEW (2017). And the SS does not need piped-in engine sound as the 6.2 liter LS3 V8 is wonderful sounding. Plus has been problem free.
Chester different segment
Never know Chevrolet to be that reliable. Plus the SS looks like a beefy Malibu with a hideous outdated interior. Actually this car has been rated 4.5 0-60 which is .3 seconds faster than your SS. With a lot more modern features.
The 2017 Chevy SS listed for $49,000 and hit $50,000 when the gas guzzler tax was added on as it gets a pathetic 17 mpg. Where are you coming up with $19,000 less?
And they couldn't sell them.
Cycle Rider,that is true because General Motors did no advertising at all and most people have never heard of the car. Nonetheless, now it is kind of a cult car, and I could sell my 2017 SS for more than I paid for it. Very few cars have held their value so well., and those with the 6-speed manual (which I have) are the most sought after. I also have the only two options offered - a sun roof and full size alloy wheel spare.
