The 2024 Genesis G70 Gets More Power Standard, But Otherwise The Changes Are Minor | 2024 G70 Review 

I do like the G70. I wish Genesis would have offered this with the size and liftback style of its former platform mate, the Stinger. The added room would make this vehicle more appealing….

I have the 2023 3.3T RWD and am LOVING it. I'm coming from a 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia which I LOVED, but it proved unreliable from the getgo (I bought it new). I don't have the patience to deal with Euro cars and their electrical gremlins so I traded it in for the G70. I have driven this car cross country a few times and have put A LOT of miles on it in the past year, and it has been BULLETPROOF on top of being a joy to drive. The only small complaint I have is that the gas mileage while driving in the city is abysmal. But I rectified this by keeping it in Eco mode when I'm running errands and then putting it in Sport when I need to get on the freeway. I also get as many compliments on this car as I did the Alfa; they nailed the styling when they did the '22 refresh.

One of the top choice for sedan/coupe in this price range. No doubt. Still looking good!

Great review! I love my 2023 3.3 - for the money, the best choice. However, the seats are much firmer than I realized at first, and don't support my back as well as the Audi A5 or BMW. The G80 has better seats (still too firm - but less so). Also - regarding the dealer - I am next to a dedicated dealership. I am extremely impressed. As good or better than Audi and BMW.

Nice review. I was actually looking at the Lexus IS (but no power folding mirrors, no trunk release button on the trunk and no sunglass compartment up by the dome lites). Now proud owner of a 2.5 sport prestige in the Makalu grey. It has the red stitching but not the quilted pattern the 3.3 has.

It's so odd they don't offer the full digital cockpit in the US. We've had it in other markets since 2018.

Beautiful car inside and out. I really love everything they did with this car. The 3.5TT would have been nice but I didn’t expect them to do it since they only care about EVs now at Genesis. I would definitely buy this over the competition for its great price and rwd dynamics. I also love the concierge service Genesis provides where you never have to go to the dealership unlike other luxury cars.

Amazing video Alex.

BMW's twin turbo V8, with 155 more hp, in the much larger and heavier M550i gets the same mpg than Hyundai's G70 3.3t V6 AWD. Both get 17 city and 25 highway. Hyundai's abysmal gas mileage blows my mind.

I am shocked how much more roomier is a Honda civic type r or an Acura type s is in comparison. If Honda was to make a rwd sedan with Civic dimensions it would be a winner!

Thank You for supporting Electric Vehicles and for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤

Looking to get one.

I hope the rumors of the G70's demise are exaggerated!

My local Hyundai dealer has been selling Genesis cars since 2008 and they have just opened a Genesis dedicated dealership about 8.5 miles away in Fairfield County, CT.

If only they’d offer a full digital gauge and some ambient lighting. Styling has aged well both inside and out.

I hear a lot of mixed reviews on the G70. Some say it's a modern day E46 from the Gods, other say it leans and is too soft and overhyped. Curious to drive one myself to see what's what.

8:38 not quite. The base engine will do 0 to 60 in just under six seconds, not just under five seconds. In the V6 will do 0 to 60 in about 4.5

Love how much Genesis gives you compare to competition. I've been looking at prices of IS350 f sport and brand new its like $60K same as G70 3.3T. But lexus has much smaller trunk and rear leg room, no brembos, much less hp, smaller sunroof, no heated rear seats etc. Crazy

Alex you mentioned 11 Genesis dealerships in North America, needs correction, Google Maps shows 10 Genesis dealerships in Toronto and 30 in Canada.

Isn’t the Canyon Lake area beautiful to drive? enjoy your time here.

Ty

Dealer experience. Get it sorted, Genesis.

the 2.5 engine is a huge improvement, their 2.0 was subpar

I traded my 4 year old Stinger for the 2.5 AWD and it’s smoother and quieter inside. I do miss my hatch and don’t understand why in hell they can’t keep the hatchback an option. So far I’m very pleased with my Genesis G70 sport’s prestige

Have a 2020 2.0t damn this new model would be perfect 2.5t or a used 2022 3.3t

So cool. I would take this over pretty much everything in the competition. I wonder if I would take a Subaru WRX over this for the better AWD. What is the AWD system like in this?

Great review. I always value your opinion. I have one of those Lexus IS cars (2021) that I need to return soon and this car is on my list to check out. Just worried about the reliability that I don’t have to think about with my Lexus….I did hear a rumor the this car may be discontinued…Have you heard anything about that?

Infiniti Q50 had base V6 .... Might not have a big LCD tv in the dashboard and ridiculous touch controls ... Still front mid engine and amazing to drive

I like the RWD for its agility and purity, but there seem much rare to find. What do you guys think of RWD vs AWD 2.5T? Handling? Fun? Maintenance cost?

I have a Kia cadenza that I am absolutely in love with. Unfortunately Kia doesn't have them in the US anymore and I am going to have to look at a new car in the near future. So far I have been very disappointed in most cars. The genesis is the only one that holds a candle to my car BUT all the models I have seen don't have apple car play or heads up display. Those two things are a must have for me.

Warranty wasn’t talked about.. Genesis easily beats the competition!

With many manufacturers moving to a small handful of motors across all models, I wonder if Genesis/Hyundai has plans to discontinue the 3.3L after boosting power in the base motor? Make the base motor better/more powerful, get people excited about it, axe the 3.3L and make it the one motor model in the segment.

Doesn’t Lexus offer the IS, ES and LS? Small, medium and Large?. Although the ES is targeting a different buyer compared to the G80

2024 Genesis G70 RWD and AWD. Is (power-weight-fuel consumption) at the same good level (competitive) compared to BMW 3 or 4 series and Mercedes-Benz C series models of the same level?. 🤔

It’s definitely tops alongside the 3 series

Not keen on the new AC controls. If we had a local dealer, I would go for a Giulia.

If they are so dedicated to this sedan, why didn't they bother to put the 3.5TT under the hood? And a full LCD MID... I guess it's like you said, sedans aren't very popular. I sure wish that Kia hadn't killed the Stinger 😞

Redline reviews got 5.9 to 60 in the 2.5 base model.

I disagree w your view on the impact of the Tesla model 3. Ever since the model 3 came out, it has annihilated this segment. I see this in my own town. It used to be filled w 3 series, c class and a4s. But now, I rarely see any of them on the road, just teslas everywhere. Most ppl buy these cars bc of cheap leases, not for performance. And this segment has become so overpriced.

What about the Alfa Romeo Julia? Better drive?

It's not refreshed, ok? It is enhanced

still keeping 2 turbo sixes...

You forgot about the New Sonata N, 2024.

From Florida!!! LOL

The Acura will probably last longer and have better resale value

Alex....you have the qualities to become a sought after male model. Please give it some serious consideration . Take the first step and see where it leads ya.....why not?

I have a 2022 and absolutely love this car....i ended up getting the 4 banger because i bought a used 2018 Lincoln MKZ about 18 months before the G70. The MKZ has 400/400...so i already have the power crave taken care of. They were literally giving those Lincolns and Fusions away before Biden killed the economy. The Lincoln only had 31k miles, was in near perfect shape and even had new car smell. I know the MKZ is more in comparison to yhe G80, but just to compare i would say my MKZ has the edge over driving dynamics. Steering is slightly more precise, gives you a better sense of cornering, and the power is crazy for a luxury car. I get people all the time with this car, could have won a lot of money. The cabin is superior in the G70...except for the sound system. But the materials in yhe G70 feel much more premium, its quieter in the G70 and just feels like a better built vehicle. I love both vehicles and as i said, to get that Lincoln for 20k for the low miles and what it offers, makes it that much better. Tech is far superior in the G70 as well. Overall, the Genesis is the better car....but im definitely keeping the MKZ.

Na I prefer the Acura Type S

Genesis > Germans

No, I don’t think the design has aged well. The design was meh when it arrived and it is at best meh now. I used to see a fair number of them when it first arrived, but I rarely see them lately.

The average American wants one of these in their garage like they want a plate of bacon in their microwave; very much so, apparently.

It looks lame. Audi A4 looks way better.

No way this car is 4.2 seconds 0-60; I had a 2019 3.3 and it was more like 4.7 or 4.8 give or take. Not really that fast (against it's 6 cyl competition). Having owned one for 3 years, my advice would be to get the 2.5 liter, 300 hp, it is a cracking engine, the 3.3 is not really worth it; plus - and nobody mentions this - the 3.3 requires spark plugs every 60 + you'll need to get the heads walnut blasted since it's just DI. That is $$$ on this car. The 2.5 is BOTH port and direct-injected, and ergo proctor hoc, they entire cylinder stays clean, no nasty buildup like DI. Eg, if you use top tier gas and run cleaners like seafoam every once in a while, you should be good to go. Not so with the 3.3. Service and cleaning on the 3.3 is money. IKFE.
