Genesis has become everything Infiniti WAS in the early 2000’s. A true and desirable competitor to the Germans. They deserve all the kudos in the world for this. Hats off!
@@Alex.AL_26Hyundai, they learn and change things so fast in a good way so I'm not worried about Genesis. Plus, Hyundai is one of a leading company of electric cars too so..
@@alh06 Are you still living in a past? Infinity and Nissan don't even make profits thesedays lol. They are just falling stars dude. Time is chaning after all.
@@alh06 Plus, have you ever drove genesis g70? I don't think u have. People who didn't even try driving cars say blah blah blah. Genesis g70 is sooo much fun to drive dude. Look at the reality man lol
@@stereopony9421 I think you should read better. He or she was referring to Infiniti in the 2000s. I am completely correct in my above comment. Regarding your second ignorant and annoying reply, yes I have, your point is dismissed.
Great Review, Please review Mercedes C43, between this g70 and m340i, idk which is best but im stuck on the c43 because of that sweet exhaust note especially cars optioned with amg performance exhaust, would love a pov review of the benz
😂 😂 I love how Topher like Hahaha not today! Cars have become so mundane and safe it's refreshing when a car company can bring back proper driving cars. Lol
I live in Vancouver, Canada and just had the GV70 w/ 3.5TT overnight and totally fell in luv with it. Luxury features, new updated interior, that ext styling and enuf power (less than 5 seconds 0-60) to have tons of fun with. Its exceptionally quiet in the cabin and in Comfort mode it really is a smooth ride. If ur comparing the GV70 to the Germans you will be blown away with all the luxury standard features (Drivers side massaging seats, front heated & cooled seats, that massive center screen, the move forward & back option on the key fob, massive sunroof & moon roof, AWESOME sound system, all the safety features, etc...) It really does offer an AWESOME VALUE vs the Germans. PLUS the scheduled maintenance for 5 yrs is INCLUDED!!! the price in Canada for a full load with the interior CF trim, 360 camera, quilted leather, etc is $75,500 including F&PDI. Just pay taxes and doc fee. I'm VERY Very impressed:-) Now, do I choose the non latest interior and refreshed exterior G70 sedan which is a little quicker but the rear leg & head room is tighter or opt for the roomier, up to date & latest interior GV70 that soaks up speed bumps & road imperfections that is also much more quieter, but about $10K more cost? Fantastic VALUE options either way. Cheers from Vancouver.
Take it from a G70 owner, the tires that come with the AWD (Primacy Tourings) seriously hold it back. Put PS4S tires on it (or buy the RWD model, which has PS4s), and you get the steering feel back and then some.
Can't get it in RWD in Canada. Can't even get the M340i or M440i in RWD here. IS500 is the one and only option in the segment for RWD. IDK about the Caddy but I wouldn't consider it personally.
I own a 2019 G70 3.3T AWD Dynamic edition and mine came with a PS4 set (as they’re supposed to form the factory). Not sure why yours came with something else? Did you buy used? Which package did you get? Also in the US if that matters.
Ya, the tires are pretty bad.. its a shame they don't at least give buyer's the option to choose between All season and summer tires... or at least put a 'high performance' all season tire on.
After four Infiniti’s, I cross-shopped this with everything. It’s awesome - luxe, fast, and a great value. Also, the Concierge service for maintenance is amazing.
I fell in love with the G70 when I saw it. Plan to get it as my first car within 1-2 years (in college rn). I love how Genesis is competing with the germans. My only problem is I wish (like said germans), besides the safety features, you didn't have to pay the extra 5-10k for the max trim to get some features like surround camera that would be nice to have. Due to my budget, I'll probably be getting the 2.0 RWD with the Prestige Package, but that engine still packs a punch and the car still looks stunning regardless. Great video!
I rented a g70 that the 2.0 t engine rear wheel drive and trust me it's still punched way better than most cars I've driven Yes the 3.3 t is more of a more really exciting and it sucks more on gas cuz it's always thirsty but even the 2.0 t is no slouch in will be plenty enough horsepower for you
This is a legitimate competitor in the lux sport sedan class. There's a Genesis dealer near me. The G70, IS500, and TYPE S will take a few European cross shoppers
I almost traded in my m240i for a Type S and let me tell you that type s was beyond numb in regards to dynamics. The IS500 would be my pick of those three. Looking to unload this bmw because the reliability is starting to become an issue at 46k miles.
I'm TURO a 2023 Blue G70 for my birthday weekend this weekend, and I've only had for a few hours and am already blown away. NOW I KNOW what the talk is all about with The Genesis G70 quite simply WOW.
The 3.3t is so much more potent then the type S 3.0t. And even in AWD form the g70 still slides around like a RWD car. The type s can’t get sideways at all it’s more prone to understeer. Bottom line the g70 is 98% m340i for 10-15k less. G70/stinger are the true value proposition in this segment.
I'm really liking the infotainment paradigm in the new Kia's and Hyundais where the screen is very wide but short. I cant stand tablet interfaces, but I want it wide enough where I can read the directions when navigating. Also this thing looks gorgeous on the inside!
@@onlinealias622 it’s a very insulted cabin and the build quality really keeps road/wind noise to a minimum. The engine sound really just depends how you drive it. If I need it to be quieter, it’s nearly silent in Eco mode. Really pushing it in sport feels and sounds completely different.
The video doesn't do justice to this car. The way it looks in person is absolutely insane. I can make this car out in thousand car highway. This is that cross over of all 3 brands audi, jag, and mercedes into one sexy affordable package.
@@fzr1000981 yeah 340 is a great car i actually own an x3 m40, going to test drive one of these this weekend. would not be surprised if i trade. i see way too many 340's and the longer ive owned a bmw the less i love it. raw power stock 340 wins all day. originality, comfort, warranty - im assuming the g70 wins all day.
What a gorgeous car! Always impressed with your knowledge Topher :) Genesis continues to amaze with their exterior and interior design. Can't wait to review one of these one day!
One of the most enjoyable pov car video I've seen in awhile. Absolutely fantastic car, hyundai/genesis have nailed it lately especially with the N lineup
Old video now but just wanted to say this video provides the best context of driving the car without driving it. Well done. Will be replacing my b8.5 S4 with one of these shortly.
@@nobody-nq9mn Then why are BMW's so unreliable after the warranty runs out? And then they are so expensive to maintain and fix. That's why their depreciation is so terrible, because they are almost worthless once the warranty runs out. They are only great for the first couple of years. The Korean's, have proven to be better built and more reliable, and back it up with a much better warranty. Euro cars are pure trash after the first few years. Once the warranty runs out, they are nothing but an expensive headache.
@@nobody-nq9mn Have you actually sat in and driven the 2022 G70? Because if you think your 2014 3-series (Let alone even the new beamers) is "way further in almost everything" I'll have to ask you to put down the crack pipe and seek help.
I own a 2022 3.3T AWD Sports Prestige and my only complaint is the rotor and pads they used for this Brembo Brake setup. They suck! After 6k to 7k miles you will think that your rotors are warped…they are not! Break dust build up. Best fix is to suck it up and buy new pads and slotted and drilled rotors. I did that and now it’s perfect!
okay so I love ur videos, ur my current favourite youtuber, but please start showcasing the sunroof of cars that have one, open and close it, thats all im asking for!
Genesis are releasing this here in the UK soon for the first time. I'm still not sure if I would choose it over an M340i as BMW give you a big discount here.
Hi peter. I'm Korean and I know a lot about Genesis G70 3.3T. As you know, M340i is just a perfect V6 compact sport sedan which is better than C43 AMG(not a full-changed one) and S4. If you have a chance to drive g70 3.3T later in UK, you would be so suprised that it's so good too. And it would be much cheaper than M340i even if you get a big discount on it. I believe G70 3.3T would be priced almost same as BMW 330e model in UK. G70 3.3T is a good alternative of M340i but it's obviously not better than it. M340i is slightly better than G70 3.3T in every way such as speed, transmission, handling, engine&exhaust sounds, interior&exterior, brand and space. But I'm sure that it's not a big difference considering their price gap. G70 3.3T is also sooo much fun and comfortable to drive and its' built quality is awesome. However, if price is not a big deal for you and if g70 3.3T is almost expensive as M340i in UK, just buy M340i. Moreover, at this point in time of 2021, I believe it's too late to buy g70 since it's a face-lifted model and interior looks too old since it's almost same as 2017's g70. It doesn't even have ambient lights at all. Genesis G80,GV70,GV80 have updated genesis interior since they are new models but not G70. Plus, a full-changed model of g70 will be coming before 2023. If you could wait, I recommend the full-changed one of g70. Otherwise, M340i is just the best.
I did exactly that, went from a 2016 Lexus IS 350 fsport to a 2021 3.3t Genesis G70 and it puts a smile on my face every drive. You won't regret it! Note, the wheelbase and staggered tire set up is almost identical, but driving feel is quite different.
@@gregwiens35 question, i was thinking of getting the 2021 is350. Does your IS feel slow? Im coming from a brz so to me the IS will feel so much faster already. I was debating on the IS or the G70. Im definitely lexus biased
DysphoriaRL I had the IS 350 and was a Lexus fan, but they haven't kept up in features or luxury, but especially power. I'm much happier with the G70 as it's even more comfortable (my wife hated sitting in the IS on long drives) with Nappa leather, extended thigh support. Don't worry about reliability. Genesis is bumper to bumper 5 years, and included all oil changes
@@DysphoriaRL dont let anyone deceive you with their comments, follow your gut.. a lot of genesis fanboys that cant afford the vehicle will push you into getting something they dont actually own. Lexus or Genesis. watch reviews. check your boxes. and decide 💪🏾
Genesis needs to add the 3D gauge cluster, power trunk lid, heated rear seats to this refresh. Like someone else mentioned, the AWD model should have the option of the Michelin PS4S tires! These 4 things will make the G70 even more competitive!
In Canada the AWD top trim comes on PS4s. Also has a power trunk. Heated rears would be nice, but the rear seats aren’t that useable. Cluster is a no brainer
My dad owns a 2019 rwd G70 with this engine. It of course came with the same tires. But no matter what, this car loves to slide around and it will take you by surprise just like it did in this video. It's a lot of fun if you know how to handle it.
The RWD 2019 3.3T came with Michelin Pilot Sport 4, not the primacy tires. Only got 21,000 out of mine (rated for 20k), replaced with Continental DWS06+ High Performance All Season, rated for 45k. For a casual commuter these are a much better offering in cost per mile.
Please review a Genesis Coupe 3.8L NA V6 The engine and transmission are in the same family as the G70 you just drove. I am very curious to hear your thoughts!
Topher you're the best!!! Another stellar review... Hyundai has been totally dominating lately!! I really hope they come out with a balls to wall sports Coupe.... HYUNDAI if you're reading this please V8 Twin Turbo
@@MJT-DA They won't be developing another engine for a poor-selling halo car that will likely be in its final generation, or soon to be replaced by an EV
I fell in love with this car when I found it in gran tourismo 7 I knew about genesis but didn’t realize how much I’d love this car I mean it’s a luxury car but has a good amount of power with all the fun modes can have awd which is great for snow and if with some mods it can make 400hp easily
That camera that appears on the dash when you hit the blinker ???? BROOOOO I HAVE A 2021 g70 awd 2.0t prestige elite and that is a lovely feature I wish I had good shit genesis that’s kinda dope
Tried to buy a new 2023 BMW M240i with my 2020 Mustang GT Premium convertible trade (14,600 miles) but they wanted my car and $18,000 plus the car wouldn't arrive for 3 months. Visited a Genesis dealer and considered a 3.3 AWD Sport Advanced ($650 more than the M240i) and was quoted $9,983 delivered with my trade. Not a real difficult choice.
Great review- it's nice to see a car reviewer actually push the car, your on ramp romp was epic. Love it. the music track you choose could have been much better. classic rock or something familiar . Then viewers know what the track is supposed to sound like.
The top of the door panels in my Honda Civic touring are soft with leather in the middle and arm rest at 30k Canadian so shouldn’t have genesis at least made the front pieces soft touch?
I have a 2019 g70 and the trunk is as good as it's going to get. its a sports sedan it's not made to haul cargo lol I've taken mine camping a few times and it does fine on dirt roads and carry's plenty
