Glad to see you addressing front plate integration as a design failure. Yes, they're lame, but it's the manufacturer's job to integrate them. (And most fail at that job.)
Not everywhere needs front plates though, so there's a fair argument to be made that design shouldn't be reduced to the lowest common denominator of local considerations, which can cripple the ability to make interesting designs.
Right, there are many places that don't require a front plate which leads you to believe that it's definitely pointless to have one (which it is). Therefore, the places that do require it needs to change their stupid laws.
I don't mind it, at least they're in the same axis of motion. What I absolutely hate is the button shifters. Those are the absolute worst. Unintuitive, clumsy, hard to quickly shift back and forth. Ugh!
This will be in my garage soon!!! I absolutely love it I’ve been waiting for it, it’s mine!!! Thanks guys for your excellent review. I own a RDX ASPEC. I’m keeping the RDX getting rid of the spa XC90
@@kfx3907 agree they're not rolling death traps like the 90s but compared to a Honda or Toyota, no contest. Those cars will last 250-300k no problem. This will disintegrate by 120k.
@@grahamstefaan And that story is about 20 years ago.. You should admit how Hyundai has improved their reliability to a whole new level these days. Only their problem is with their dealership experiences but their cars are superb. If they improve their dealership experiences to like Toyota level, they will sell more than before.
This car has definitely some quirky features.and all of them are useful too. The already needed features are refines like infotainment system and camera.the interior unique and simple and really beautiful exterior too except for that ridiculous exhaust.i prefer the exhaust in base model
If/when they refresh the gv80s exterior sheet metal, or update heavily… As it is right now, the gv80 looks incomplete and half finished visually on the exterior.
@@kevinc.5073 the x3 m40i also smokes it in terms of price, Jesus that thing is overpriced, also this is a family suv not a sports car, genesis is luxury first, sport later
In Australia there are zero servicing costs for the first 5 years plus they pick up your car and drop a loaner Genesis. Had my test drive on Friday and it's a real head turner. The Augmented Reality Navigation is something to see. Best feature ( which should be in all cars ) is the blind spot cameras which take the place of your speedo or tacho when you use an indicator.
A gem of a car! I love the blue and red interior color combo. To me a better looking dashboard than the GV80’s and certainly a much better looking steering wheel.
@@Don-pk2uyI get what you're saying, however most luxury cars are German so it sorta makes sense. Regardless, there are plenty of Jaguars and Lexus' on the road. I'm fairly certain Genesis will sell well here, let's not forget the huge price difference between them and the German rivals. Also, they look ultra expensive so people will surely be interested.
Hey Guys, great review as always. Get your hands on the 4 cylinder, it’s bound to be the top seller and since this version doesn’t really compete from an aggressive drive point of view I would think the 2.5 might be even more relevant vs the Germans and Volvo XC60.
soooo, why isn't it just considered texture on the back and sides that matches the front grille, as opposed to what you're calling "fake grille"... just a thought. I mean, look at the wheels, obviously part of the design theme is unusual textures on the exterior
I have a 2022 GV 70 with 3.5 T with premium package. Great car, beyond my expections. I put a licence plate with a black surrond on the lower front grill, and it looks great. Actually breaks up the big front grill. I did make a custom bracket to make the attachment, tight to the grill.
You guys should showcase more of the taillight functions like how you did it with the GV70. I'm always curious how the lighting works in the taillight with stuff like the brakes and turn signals
Not gonna be long winded but I drive a Caddy XT6, and I just bought the Gen GV70 (the one you are reviewing, same color) for...my...WIFE!! All I have to say is thank god she is my wife b'cus being the car guy that I am, I get to drive it too! *Evil Grin* Genesis has reached the mountain top IMO! Price for what you getting vs the competition vs Cadillac which I LOVE but doesn't put the same effort into their interiors with the exception of the new Escalade...***takes a breath*** this GV70 is Nawwwice!!!!!! Great job on the review!!
This is hands down the best review channel on RUclips. We get everyday consumer from Yuri, and then technical perspective from Jacob. And you guys know your shit. Keep it up boys, phenom work!
It's not just Canadian. Kids all over the states do it. It's the latest trend (maybe a couple of years now) for tween and teens. Especially the hoodie one to two sizes larger than your size to cover the shorts so it doesn't even look like shorts are on (mostly girls though).
@@mckylecfc I haven't noticed it. My critiques of the car is the driver assist....specifically when going in corners. Will break in some corners. And, mapping from e-tainment system wheel loses it with Sirius radio. No problems with the drive performance. It does have a long shift from 2nd-3rd gear when in sport mode
@@CpZ-Z-Z Thanks for sharing! We likes this long shifts in sport+ mode of the 3.5T from my test drives. How many miles you get out of a tank full of normal driving?
Overpriced by about 5-10 grand. At $75k you can buy the SQ5 Sportsback. Only thing I really dislike, are the turning signals in the back of the car. They're at wheel level, just like the Tucson. So low, they'll become invisible in certain situations. Also not a fan of the wagon profile look, but thats just me. Others love it.
Okay I watch a LOT of car channels. Jacob and Yuri are by far the best when it comes to back and forth between each other. I feel like they talk like my friends do, and their light banter isn't like some channels where they beat the dead horse. The only other channel I think is up there is Mighty Car Mods, and even then I think StraightPipes is the winner. Love the talks just in the cars driving. Keep up the good work, fellas, hope to be able to watch you for many years to come!
@@TheStraightPipes Ya know it kinda hurt saying it and maybe I will change my mind tomorrow, but for right now you guys are tops. Savage Geese...sorry but he needs to bring back Turbowski...
My wife just picked-up a 3.5T GV70 w/sport prestige package. Note from her personal mechanic (me), no German cars in our garages. That swayed things a bit.
Hyundai is killing it right now. Their vehicles are looking great and are packed with options. Best bang for your dollar. Not sure about the reliability though.
Worst case scenario, if the vehicle does end up being unreliable, you do get that 100,000 mile warranty, free of charge. Some Kia/Hyundai dealerships in the US now give out free 200,000 mile powertrain warranties...they wouldn't do that if they weren't confident about their products.
@@FreewayBrent Yeah, props to Hyundai. My 2013 Sonata started having an engine issue and it's well past the 100,000 mile warranty and they swapped the entire engine for free. Granted, it was something that was from a recall, but after 8 years of owning the car, they could've gave me a hard time about it.
The grill shape is very similar to some Mazdas which I'm convinced copied the Focus ST grill and flipped it upside down, looks so clean without the logo on it
@@Nimasis Watching the Korean models feature videos had me buying this the moment it arrived in the US. Then when it finally did I was so disappointed at how many things were stripped from it. Forced into suede interior with top sports package, no automatic self parking assist and finally no augmented reality. Such a shame because it's a beautiful car but I'm holding off on purchasing it now.
Truly, the successor to the Infiniti EX that they could never. I'm really confused by the hanger post on the B-pillar though, and really wish everyone would adopt the headrest integrated coat hanger that the EX had.
@@PaulHo Mom has a 2005 FX with 250k trouble free miles. She’s been waiting for Infiniti to drop a reason to upgrade. I guess I’ll send her off to the Genesis dealership when she’s ready. GV70 is about as close to the FX as she’ll ever get
I don’t see how you could forget your kid unless you don’t love and care about them. I have 2 kids 3 and 4 yr old, never forgot one of em. We don’t do daycare. One of us is always with them and they are always supervised and we just adore our babies!
Very beautiful vehicle and definitely not slow and has lots of torque. Also I really believe the nitpickings are more personal preferences. After a test drive on Friday, I placed my order right away. I originally thought of a 2.5T but the 3.5TT had features I really liked and I went for this model instead.
Just test drive one. Looking at the g70/stinger, and sat in the gv70. I was blown away by the interior. I mean jeezus. The “air mover” for long drives. They didn’t mention the fact that you can put your height, “weight range” and your inseam and the seat will AUTOMATICALLY position you in the best driving position!!! I mean, wtf??? Some skynet shit…
there's a safety concern to change a seat while driving, especially memory seat. Modern cars have a great range of adjustability, to a point where one may lose access to brakes/gas/steering wheel. You don't want that to happen while moving.
@@AvocadoAtrocity You Korean haters tends to say.. if they praise on Japanese cars, you guys just agrees with them and if they praise Korean cars, you guys say "They get paid by South Korea".. I mean.. are you guys just jealous of the Korean cars that are getting better and better or what lol
One of the best part is they show choosing base price on automakers site and best value package. Loved their video of them making fun of automakers charging monthly subscriptions for features. Someone has to speak up or tell buyers to stop falling for it. It may even make automakers to quit this silliness. Loving this channel and clicking Like on all their videos. Look forward to more Acura reviews. Best from Texas
Good review and excellent vehicle. The germans are great as well in terms of performance and styling. I think Genesis was looking for balance here. The styling, tech and interior quality rule the day here. Performance is good here but not ground breaking in the segment. Torque is excellent and turn-in is good, but still a bit more body roll then I would like. A 1/4" drop and summer tires would do wonders here.
As always super fun to watch review. It would have been awesome with you guys being new dad's (congrats btw) to show what an infant child seat looks like in there with front passenger legroom when installed. There are a lot of us new dad's out there that need a family friendly car that's also fun to drive and how car seats fit would just be a very useful information to have.
I want to get the Canadian Sport Prestige package bc it has the blue quilted leather seats w/ red seat belts! Is it possibly to get a Canadian Genesis in the US?... The sport prestige in the US has the Alcantara seats which I don't want bc the quilted leather makes it look so much nicer. Also heard in Korean reviews that the quilted leather was more comfortable.
I don't want to be that guy, but how the black magic hell does this suv doesn't fit more boxes compared to the honda civic hatchback? Honda magic? Love you guys

We agree on styling for once! Definitely the best looking SUV out there. I'd have one and I don't like SUVs.
Same I don't like SUVs and it's good they have Sedan versions. This is bigger, but the Sedan version is superior.
I hate the rotary dial for gear shifting. Other than that, the car is great inside and out
I don't mind it, at least they're in the same axis of motion.
What I absolutely hate is the button shifters. Those are the absolute worst. Unintuitive, clumsy, hard to quickly shift back and forth. Ugh!
@@sonydominates I feel the same way about Acura
Damn this looks unique.
Big grille, 4 doors, wheels, ....in other words, just like every single other crossover made...how unique!
@@mrsj1417 you have to be joking
@@mrsj1417 so you’re saying all cars look the same because they all have big grilles, 4 doors, and wheels? ok
@@mrsj1417 I know right! how can it be unique if it has four tires and a gas tank like all other cars...
I am from Denmark, so we don't see any other cars looking like this except maybe the Bentley Bentayga
I'll be the first one to say I don't love the SUV trend lately, but damnit all I would be more than happy to own a GV70 as my first SUV
Good to see Korean luxury cars making it big in the west competing against BMW, Benz and Audi and is more high end then Infiniti, Lexus and Acura
This will be in my garage soon!!! I absolutely love it I’ve been waiting for it, it’s mine!!! Thanks guys for your excellent review. I own a RDX ASPEC. I’m keeping the RDX getting rid of the spa XC90
Poor choice. Hyundai is garbage.
@@grahamstefaan stfu hyundai is amazing you probably drive a base bmw😂😂😂
@@grahamstefaan No, i think Hyundai is doing a great job these days. They are not like their 90s now.
@@kfx3907 agree they're not rolling death traps like the 90s but compared to a Honda or Toyota, no contest. Those cars will last 250-300k no problem. This will disintegrate by 120k.
@@grahamstefaan And that story is about 20 years ago.. You should admit how Hyundai has improved their reliability to a whole new level these days. Only their problem is with their dealership experiences but their cars are superb. If they improve their dealership experiences to like Toyota level, they will sell more than before.
This car has definitely some quirky features.and all of them are useful too.
The already needed features are refines like infotainment system and camera.the interior unique and simple and really beautiful exterior too except for that ridiculous exhaust.i prefer the exhaust in base model
Doug?
I've seen at least two dozen of these on the road already and they are awesome!!
This is one of the best looking SUVs to come out in quite a long time.
And just think... the GV80 is even BETTER... 🤯
If/when they refresh the gv80s exterior sheet metal, or update heavily… As it is right now, the gv80 looks incomplete and half finished visually on the exterior.
Compared with the competition this thing kills everything, feature wise and price wise, German cars like the glc, q5 and x3 have no chance
X3 M40i would smoke this thing
@@kevinc.5073 the x3 m40i also smokes it in terms of price, Jesus that thing is overpriced, also this is a family suv not a sports car, genesis is luxury first, sport later
no aftermarket, and reputation.... id rather an x3 m40i
@@kevinc.5073 yeah but it looks so ugly standing beside this genesis. The interior is just a straight win for the genegis too
@@kristians2704 they are also far more expensive than anything genesis has to offer in class, literally
It's a pity we don't get the Genesis brand in South Africa, it's a beautiful car
And in India! The brand is just plain good for comfort and that's honestly what people should want
I've never had a dream car but if i had to say i have one, i'd be the gv70 or gv80, beautiful cars
Wtf out of all cars in this world ur dream is to buy a broke mans Benz. Lmfao a fancy Kia.
@@janathanyoganathan6945 It's ridiculous lol, that guy is definitely Hyundai/KIA/Genesis salesman.

@@CM-le4yh so becuase i like something that u dont i must be just a sales person for it? U must be a fun guy to be around
1:29 you would rather this than any of its competitors?
In Australia there are zero servicing costs for the first 5 years plus they pick up your car and drop a loaner Genesis. Had my test drive on Friday and it's a real head turner. The Augmented Reality Navigation is something to see. Best feature ( which should be in all cars ) is the blind spot cameras which take the place of your speedo or tacho when you use an indicator.
A gem of a car! I love the blue and red interior color combo. To me a better looking dashboard than the GV80’s and certainly a much better looking steering wheel.
I only wish Genesis were available in South Africa...
and lincoln
You guys don't get those brands down there? Interesting.
@@snakeeyes9246 Yeah, unfortunately not. On top of that we don't get the new Elantra, Sonata or Azera 😖
They'll never sell it here. South Africans only buy German
@@Don-pk2uyI get what you're saying, however most luxury cars are German so it sorta makes sense. Regardless, there are plenty of Jaguars and Lexus' on the road.
I'm fairly certain Genesis will sell well here, let's not forget the huge price difference between them and the German rivals. Also, they look ultra expensive so people will surely be interested.
Hey Guys, great review as always. Get your hands on the 4 cylinder, it’s bound to be the top seller and since this version doesn’t really compete from an aggressive drive point of view I would think the 2.5 might be even more relevant vs the Germans and Volvo XC60.
I think this has the best exterior out of their lineup with the new Genesis design.
YES FINALLY, I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS REVIEW!!
soooo, why isn't it just considered texture on the back and sides that matches the front grille, as opposed to what you're calling "fake grille"... just a thought. I mean, look at the wheels, obviously part of the design theme is unusual textures on the exterior
Consumer Reports is not a fan of Genesis SUV’s.
I have a 2022 GV 70 with 3.5 T with premium package. Great car, beyond my expections. I put a licence plate with a black surrond on the lower front grill, and it looks great. Actually breaks up the big front grill. I did make a custom bracket to make the attachment, tight to the grill.
You guys should showcase more of the taillight functions like how you did it with the GV70. I'm always curious how the lighting works in the taillight with stuff like the brakes and turn signals
Not gonna be long winded but I drive a Caddy XT6, and I just bought the Gen GV70 (the one you are reviewing, same color) for...my...WIFE!! All I have to say is thank god she is my wife b'cus being the car guy that I am, I get to drive it too! *Evil Grin* Genesis has reached the mountain top IMO! Price for what you getting vs the competition vs Cadillac which I LOVE but doesn't put the same effort into their interiors with the exception of the new Escalade...***takes a breath*** this GV70 is Nawwwice!!!!!! Great job on the review!!
Lol I saw you guys on the 401 as I was getting onto the 410, I was like “damn genesis is popping off”
This is hands down the best review channel on RUclips. We get everyday consumer from Yuri, and then technical perspective from Jacob. And you guys know your shit.
Keep it up boys, phenom work!
🙏
I love wearing hoodies + shorts but everyone makes fun of me, so thank you to Yuri for normalizing this.
Such a solid mix
It’s like the modern Canadian Tuxedo.
@@KevinStudent I do this all the time, but now I'm second guessing whether or not I'm allowed to do it because I'm not Canadian...
@@riverboat7981 Canada is all about sharing and accepting culture. Feel free to go for it!
It's not just Canadian. Kids all over the states do it. It's the latest trend (maybe a couple of years now) for tween and teens. Especially the hoodie one to two sizes larger than your size to cover the shorts so it doesn't even look like shorts are on (mostly girls though).
Korea is the new king!
I've never wanted a Hyundai so much in my life. WoW, what a great looking vehicle.
I met the love of my life while test driving this car and I think her best has a crush on me too. Trust me the Genesis GV70 is gold
Dude, that's too cool? Can you expound on what happened?
What a beauty...
Bought one 2 months ago and love the car. Have the 4T cyl with the prestige package. For me, perfect combination of comfort, luxury and performance.
Does the 2.5T have sport+ and go sideways like the 3.5T ?
@@mckylecfc I haven't noticed it. My critiques of the car is the driver assist....specifically when going in corners. Will break in some corners. And, mapping from e-tainment system wheel loses it with Sirius radio. No problems with the drive performance. It does have a long shift from 2nd-3rd gear when in sport mode
@@CpZ-Z-Z Thanks for sharing! We likes this long shifts in sport+ mode of the 3.5T from my test drives. How many miles you get out of a tank full of normal driving?
“Skynet prefers that you subscribe.” That’s hilarious!!!
Overpriced by about 5-10 grand. At $75k you can buy the SQ5 Sportsback.
Only thing I really dislike, are the turning signals in the back of the car. They're at wheel level, just like the Tucson. So low, they'll become invisible in certain situations.
Also not a fan of the wagon profile look, but thats just me. Others love it.
This thing is so good looking inside and out
Okay I watch a LOT of car channels. Jacob and Yuri are by far the best when it comes to back and forth between each other. I feel like they talk like my friends do, and their light banter isn't like some channels where they beat the dead horse. The only other channel I think is up there is Mighty Car Mods, and even then I think StraightPipes is the winner. Love the talks just in the cars driving. Keep up the good work, fellas, hope to be able to watch you for many years to come!
Thanks but you're wrong. Mighty car mods are the best 😉
@@TheStraightPipes Ya know it kinda hurt saying it and maybe I will change my mind tomorrow, but for right now you guys are tops. Savage Geese...sorry but he needs to bring back Turbowski...
Another fantastic review guys! Love the excitement on your faces when pushing the drive performance! Keep up the great reviews.
My wife just picked-up a 3.5T GV70 w/sport prestige package. Note from her personal mechanic (me), no German cars in our garages. That swayed things a bit.
That was an awesome looking car and I loved the tech stuff. Might even try to convince my parents to go with it and
Hyundai is killing it right now. Their vehicles are looking great and are packed with options. Best bang for your dollar. Not sure about the reliability though.
Worst case scenario, if the vehicle does end up being unreliable, you do get that 100,000 mile warranty, free of charge. Some Kia/Hyundai dealerships in the US now give out free 200,000 mile powertrain warranties...they wouldn't do that if they weren't confident about their products.
@@FreewayBrent Yeah, props to Hyundai. My 2013 Sonata started having an engine issue and it's well past the 100,000 mile warranty and they swapped the entire engine for free. Granted, it was something that was from a recall, but after 8 years of owning the car, they could've gave me a hard time about it.
lets talk about german reliability...
@@gr3vis So you'd rather have an unreliable Hyundai than an unreliable Mercedes...great logic.
@@mrsj1417 for 30% of the price? Hell yes.
Definitely reminds me of the stelvio exhaust look 🥵👌
The grill shape is very similar to some Mazdas which I'm convinced copied the Focus ST grill and flipped it upside down, looks so clean without the logo on it
17:49 Hyundai has built in dash cam recorders on its Sonatas in the Korean market. It's amazing. Wish they. Ring it over to the Genesis lineup.
GV70s actually have that feature in the Korean market
@@Nimasis Watching the Korean models feature videos had me buying this the moment it arrived in the US. Then when it finally did I was so disappointed at how many things were stripped from it. Forced into suede interior with top sports package, no automatic self parking assist and finally no augmented reality. Such a shame because it's a beautiful car but I'm holding off on purchasing it now.
@@masterchief9005 they have the park feature and i think you can order the blonde nappa leather. Not sure on augmented reality
Your review popped up as I’m on my way to pickup my own GV70 3.5T sports prestige, Uyuni white w red/blk interior. It’s a work of art😎 You guys rock !
Ooooo
Truly, the successor to the Infiniti EX that they could never. I'm really confused by the hanger post on the B-pillar though, and really wish everyone would adopt the headrest integrated coat hanger that the EX had.
The fact that the QX50/55 are successors to the EX/FX depresses me. 😔 Great looking awful cars
@@gengstar09 long live the FX, pinnacle of their status quo defying Japanese design.
@@PaulHo Mom has a 2005 FX with 250k trouble free miles. She’s been waiting for Infiniti to drop a reason to upgrade. I guess I’ll send her off to the Genesis dealership when she’s ready. GV70 is about as close to the FX as she’ll ever get

I don’t see how you could forget your kid unless you don’t love and care about them. I have 2 kids 3 and 4 yr old, never forgot one of em. We don’t do daycare. One of us is always with them and they are always supervised and we just adore our babies!
The styling is so wicked, bruh snapped 😉 i think i’m a Genesis fan now haha
damn this thing is a looker! love the looks
This car looks absolutely gorgeous
Test drove one yesterday. In a word, awesome!
I've have finally in all my history have made it to a video first 😁.
Big doodleee doodle doo
Lexus would wish their vehicles were so exciting to look at
Very beautiful vehicle and definitely not slow and has lots of torque. Also I really believe the nitpickings are more personal preferences. After a test drive on Friday, I placed my order right away. I originally thought of a 2.5T but the 3.5TT had features I really liked and I went for this model instead.
I just bought mine today 🤩
Gorgeous car!
Just test drive one. Looking at the g70/stinger, and sat in the gv70. I was blown away by the interior. I mean jeezus. The “air mover” for long drives. They didn’t mention the fact that you can put your height, “weight range” and your inseam and the seat will AUTOMATICALLY position you in the best driving position!!! I mean, wtf??? Some skynet shit…
I think this looks great and I LOVE the interior color palette and carbon fiber. Looks super unique. Great review guys!
Gents, when doing the box test, please compare the number to other comparable vehicles. Thank you.
Have been waiting for u guys to review it. Finally!
The interior is just amazing! Love it! No Touch nonsense as in the current German Companys like Mercedes, Audi und VW..
Exhaust looks like an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce. The rear sort of looks like a mix of a Porsche Macan and the Alfa
there's a safety concern to change a seat while driving, especially memory seat. Modern cars have a great range of adjustability, to a point where one may lose access to brakes/gas/steering wheel. You don't want that to happen while moving.
coming from throttle house's video, these two have COMPLETELY different opinions
Because these guys love Kia/Hyundai/Genesis on first impressions ONLY. I swear it's like they get paid by South Korea itself. 🤣

Look at the thumbnail. Totally Bentayga. But can't complain, looks great.
That Korean designer that designed the Bentayga def had influence on this and the GV80.
@@ajtam05 very true
@@ajtam05 Lee Sang Yup also designed the Camaro. Which was fantastic.
One of the best part is they show choosing base price on automakers site and best value package. Loved their video of them making fun of automakers charging monthly subscriptions for features. Someone has to speak up or tell buyers to stop falling for it. It may even make automakers to quit this silliness. Loving this channel and clicking Like on all their videos. Look forward to more Acura reviews. Best from Texas
GV70 is the kid who is fancy but not as fancy as his dad(Bentyaga)... XD
I think this looks BETTER than the Benteyaga
honestly...... japanese and korean luxury cars are soo underrated....infact if reliability was taken into account....they are far far better.
exactly~~~
Good review and excellent vehicle. The germans are great as well in terms of performance and styling. I think Genesis was looking for balance here. The styling, tech and interior quality rule the day here. Performance is good here but not ground breaking in the segment. Torque is excellent and turn-in is good, but still a bit more body roll then I would like. A 1/4" drop and summer tires would do wonders here.
I never thought this day would come
As always super fun to watch review. It would have been awesome with you guys being new dad's (congrats btw) to show what an infant child seat looks like in there with front passenger legroom when installed. There are a lot of us new dad's out there that need a family friendly car that's also fun to drive and how car seats fit would just be a very useful information to have.
These guy are dad's now owesome I can see the beards
Maybe I'm just cheap, but at 63k USD. I'm not sure if I see Hyundai value anymore. I know the competition is more but not so much more.
This is genesis though - it's meant to undercut the germans but not by a mile
Yo this is one of the best looking SUV and I really don't like SUV's, this is sick!
NOPE
@@dark6c159 Ofc badge snobs gonna disagree

I want to get the Canadian Sport Prestige package bc it has the blue quilted leather seats w/ red seat belts! Is it possibly to get a Canadian Genesis in the US?... The sport prestige in the US has the Alcantara seats which I don't want bc the quilted leather makes it look so much nicer. Also heard in Korean reviews that the quilted leather was more comfortable.
I don't want to be that guy, but how the black magic hell does this suv doesn't fit more boxes compared to the honda civic hatchback?
