- The ALL NEW GV70 is here and Genesis is ready for the competition from BMW, Audi, and Mercedes Benz. Under the hood is a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 that is pumping out 365HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Getting power to the ground is an AWD system. On the outside you will notice the unique grill, and headlights, 21in wheels, and exhaust outlets. On the inside you will be greeted to an interior of high quality, and materials. Is the 2022 Genesis GV70 a BETTER sport SUV than a BMW X3 M40i?

What a beautiful vehicle! Love the red one you reviewed a couple weeks ago! So refreshing to see a different company besides the big 3 (I think we all know which 3 those are) killing it in the industry right now! Hope you and Lori have a wonderful weekend!
We hope you have a great weekend! I’m so glad that you like this GV70.
I seen a brand new white gv70 in the Walmart parking lot the other day and I could definitely say I would take one of these over the x3.
A GV70 in a Walmart?
What, did it get lost?
Maybe in a Sam's or Costco ..
Genesis and Walmart just don't go together!
Own one, thanks to you Joe! Melbourne Gray. The Melbourne Gray matte finish makes the body lines and the wheels stand out. I like the way the hood overlaps. It looks aggressive like a shark.
My mom was raving about how she test drove the GV70 Sport today! How ironic that this video is uploaded the same day haha. What an amazing car…I will always love the X3 M40i, but the GV70 brings something new and more progressive to the table, especially with the design inside and out.
Only issue is power train . For luxury it's a top pick
I have to agree, the design really works well on this GV70 & personally I think it's their best-looking model
They’ve been on a roll with these models!! Clearly amazing
You can say that again!
@@RaitisRides 👏🏽👍🏽
Move aside great great great grandad, there’s a new genesis in town!!! This car has such huge selling potential in the states! Wishing the best for genesis 🤞🏼
It is going to be interesting what vehicles they bring in the future!
@@RaitisRides I'm dreaming of a sports coupe! Do you have an inside scoop on that?
@@charbelh.boutros4971 that would be dreamy!
I actually really like the design of the rear lower plastic. It doesn’t look like they’re trying to fool us into thinking it’s a big ass vent, just a design that matches the wheels and the front grille
agreed all of raiti's zonks didn't bother me. I like waffle pattern rear end and don't mind the wiper. For some reason this reminds me of the jag fpace I always wanted without the reliability concerns.
@@aceofspades6667 How do you know there won’t be reliability concerns? Genuinely curious considering they’ve had issues in the past.
@@alh06 I don’t know anything about the future but it’s fair to say that Jaguar recently has had significantly more reliability issues particularly with electronics and infotainment compared to genesis.
@@aceofspades6667 That's true, but neither are the reliable choice, why Hyundai gives such a long warranty
@@alh06 "When it comes to individual brands, Genesis ranked highest with a PP100 of 89. Lexus, which typically ranks at the top, ranked second this year with a PP100 of 100. Third with a PP100 of 103 was Buick, representing the highest dependability among non-luxury brands.
At the other end of the spectrum, Land Rover came in last with a PP100 of 220. Jaguar and Chrysler also ranked near the bottom. A surprise was Fiat which last year was the lowest-ranked brand with a PP100 of 249; in 2020 its score was reduced to 160."
I had a BMW X6, never again. This looks amazing!
Just test drove a GV70 considering it as a backup while I wait for my Mach E GT (same exact price)... fell in love with it. Haven't purchased it, but it's the only car that's making me consider purchasing it before my Mach E GT gets delivered. I'd be going backwards on MPG a LOT from my current Ford Fusion Hybrid, especially since I'd be going to 20/25 MPG over a full EV. I'd also be losing a LOT of speed/acceleration compared to a Mach E GT and probably some handling since the batteries in the EV are down low. But everything else is amazing on this GV70. The tech, comfort, interior, etc. The exterior design is beautiful. It's really stuck in my mind right now.
We just purchased the GV70 AWD in red with the red/black seats- it’s really a hot looking SUV. Paid $5000 over sticker, because that’s what the dealers are getting in FL and there is very limited inventory. We would never have done this, but we needed a car. That said…the seemingly misaligned hood is just awful. What were they thinking when they designed the hood that overlaps and doesn’t seem to line up smoothly with the front quarter panels? The gap is enough to put a pencil between. It looks like the front hood was put on and misaligned in assembly. I feel much better now that I know it’s not just our car, but really that’s the only bad body design in our opinion. Regarding the functionality of some of the dashboard and console features: The position of the two knobs on the console that control PDNR and media are too close together. I am constantly turning the media knob when I’m supposed to be turning the PDNR knob. Bad placement. The reach to the media touch screen is too far from the driver’s position to make it a practical touch screen…too dangerous a reach when driving and using the knob requires your attention to the screen as you click thru to the function you need- super distracting. Lots of unnecessary features. I do like the massage seats. I’d driven about 45 mins and it decided I needed a massage…honestly it didn’t wake me up, but definitely relaxed me. Hmmmm…. The set up feature for the driver profile is great. Setting up your profile, it asks for your height and weight, then adjusts your seat driving position and your mirrors to reflect your height and weight. It then asks for your finger print. The car is amazing as you can press a button on your remote and literally let it drive itself into your garage without you in the car. It will self adjust until it’s in the right position- if there’s an object that gets in front or the car, it stops and makes an alarm noise. Once the object or person moves out of the way, it proceeds. Watching it do this will blow your mind as it self parks itself in your garage and stops at just the right distance. The driving assist is persistent and the cameras are as good as our 45’ RV. The best visibility I have had in any SUV or van we have owned. We are coming out of a Porsche Macan S and this car has it all over the Porsche for features and ride. It’s a crazy little SUV and it carries a lot. I am still learning all the things it can do.
Congrats Linda! Thanks for sharing that great input!
That overhang hood lip makes it look armored and adds toughness to the design in my eyes it only adds to the esthetic
That is definitely one way to look at it!
Totally agree.
Finally got to meet you this morning at the Garage One Car show in Tampa. It was great to get your personal spin on the car’s and trucks that you review. it is good for us in the Tampa Bay Area to have you as a local guy on You Tube. Keep up the great video’s.
It was great to met you as well my friend! I am sure that I will be seeing you again soon! Thank you for your awesome support!
Great review but you made a bit of an error with the price. You said this starts at 53k, and while you can get a gv70 for 53k, it won’t be this one. This sport prestige model goes for around 64k.
Negotiating the price for a car at this moment is a very difficult proposition for someone who is in need of a car, manufacturers have the upper hand. Used cars prices have gone thru the roof as well
@@danielmelendez9943 if you can get anything at MSRP, consider it a victory.
For that money, I can get the X3 M40i, with the options I want (incl. M-diff). It's half a second faster to 60 than the gv70.
@@dre32pitt yeah am not a fan of BMW. But you are correct thats an option.
@@dre32pitt yeah i will never buy another brand new car, got screwed by the insurance company when i was involved in a 5 car accident. I think i got about 85% pay out of what my car was worth. There after i buy cars with 25k to 30k miles used, saving a ton of money
Another day, another beautiful Genesis automobile!!! I am 100% digging this GV70!!! Thanks much for bringing us these epic reviews Joe and Lori!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #Genesis #GV70
Joe. After coming out of the closet, thinking about SUVs, holding my Twinkie, I had to send you this from my iPhone 78. This GV70 is a SUV of the year candidate.
Love your enthusiasm and passion you give us on these reviews.
This is one of my ideal color combinations for the GV70 😍🤩🥵🙌🏽! This is so sexy! I think it looks so much more distinct than so many of the vehicles in this segment!
I've had this car for the past month and a bit and it hasn't disappointed. When you're just driving this around town it coddles you with its luxurious appointments and when you need speed, it's got plenty on tap. This car is definitely a head turner... I've had many people come up to me asking about it. Styling is fantastic. The only zonk from my end is the fact it's a bit thirsty, but it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
Does it have passenger massaging seat or just driver like the GV80?
@@Anth2ny unfortunately it’s driver side only, I guess it’s one way for them to keep costs down :)
After having for a little bit. How do you feel about the overall quality, fit and finish?
Gas mileage should get better over time. I have had mine about 3 months and I am getting on average about 25.5 combined. (22 city/ 28 hwy) It was pretty thirsty at first it loosens up with some break in miles.
@@lewisfisk It's pretty decent. everything is well aligned, no major blemishes and panel gaps. The feel of all the materials is very high end. My only complaint is there's a small and random squeak coming from the left back door. if it gets more pronounced and repetitive I'll bring it in for a look. I seem to always find these squeaks in cars I've owned :P
This is where I’ve spent my money Joe! Thanks for the review & can’t wait for my 2023 GV70
This is wonderful Nisal! Congrats!
0:31 They've actually been around since 2017 as an independent brand. I don't know why car reviewers say they became an independent brand in 2015 when the second generation Genesis sedan was sold through 2016 as the Genesis sedan from Hyundai. Then it switched over to being called the Genesis G80 in 2017 when the brand introduced the G90
Not to sure about that.
Great review. Exterior of this Genesis def stands out more. But overall, the X3m40 is an amazing machine. Hard to beat that B58 engine and handling of the X3.
Yeah I just ordered my x3 M40i last week! I chose that over this one! I like the GV70 styling but overall as you stated…the BMW was a better choice for me!
The genesis is not messing around anymore and being serious to the competitors !
Perfect SUV!!
GV70 for me, even though I am not a fan of the fence-like grille. I am sold on the dashboard of this SUV. It’s a beautiful sight!
Man......that rear end is incredible 🙌
Okay niece and nephew, the conversions are here:
Torque: 530Nm
Top speed: 240km
Weight: 2090kg
Fuel consumptions: 12.5l/100km in city, 9.43l/100km on highway
Maximum towing capacity: 1590kg

Thanks for always bringing the data!
@@RaitisRides It’s my pleasure nephew Joe.
Joe you make me wanna buy a new car every time you post! Nice 👍🏽
Love your reviews! When will you be reviewing the 2022 BMW X3 40i for a real comparison?
Viva: RAITI"S RIDES! Viva: the Auto de ndustry! Viva: Hyundai Motors! Viva: Venís! Viva: Morí RAITI! Viva UA-cam! Viva UA-cam! Viva UA-cam! For everything I habe mentioned, everybody Will Say, 'Viva!: SO everybody can shout it amo! Love the GV70!
Just got mine and love it! And yes I think its sexier than the BMW and I happen to love how they did the hood!
I have never driven a Genesis but have always been interested in the brand. I do however own a BMW X3 M40i and from the video review I notice a few differences. The Genesis seems more refined and polite like a Lexus, the BMW is not polite. It is aggressive it growls and pops and turns heads. Anyone buying one of these should drive them all, they are all fun but have their own personalities. To me the BMW seemed like the pit bull of the Euro sport SUVs
I recommend GV70 2.5T over X3 30i. If you want performance, I highly suggest if you could test 3.5T with other German Brand's performance SUVs (SQ5, M40i, GLC43) back to back and see how you like them. I test drove the top trim in Toronto with X3 m40i back to back when 2.5T was not available yet, and this car felt so good to me in almost every way(interior, options, sound system, etc), but I just could not put the deposit down for it because the performance still lacked... In my opinion, I see no point in buying 3.5T if 2.5T is an available option. For 2.5T's money, you get almost everything except the badge better than German brands with no option.
Performance wise the M40i with that b58 and handling is much better than gv70.
I am not a BMW fan and I was not expecting to buy the BMW but, we test drove both m40i and GV70 3.5t. The BMW is so much better to drive and the LCI does not look bad. The GV70 is much nicer, but at least to our taste something was missing that we were not quite able to explain, it was just a feeling. Genesis is relatively new brand. Maybe next time.
@@rtnolli Ya for sporty tuning Genesis is just not there yet, and GV80 is nicer if someone wants a pure luxury experience (I believe the top trim of GV70 already hits the price point of GV80)
Thanks!
Definitely a attractive suv. Going to be stiff competition in this segment
Things are heating up nicely!
The hood gaps for car like that is a deal breaker
This is really giving BMW a run for the money idk why but I love the rims 😍😍😍
genesis gv70 is the most sexiest one without any doubt, love it
Looks very nice especially in this combination of colors (dark blue + white interior)
You have very good taste my friend!
The screen seems to be narrow so it will have unpleasant view for the GPS, you won’t see the road view ahead of you on the map which is very helpful. That’s why vertical screen is better and always a good idea!
The GPS doesn’t use the whole screen
@@vanceforrest4085 that means more worst for this screen, vertical screen is ways better
@@Tom-pp4iv Hmmm…been using it for a month I haven’t noticed an issue. But didn’t notice a problem either in the BMW 2021 430ix or the 2020 Palisade Limited. They all work similar or maybe I’m just not seeing it
@@vanceforrest4085 no you don’t understand what I’m saying. I didn’t say there an issue but with vertical screen you will see more streets on map view ahead of your roads. Larger area view. See screen on 2021 Volvo CX60 or CX90 will know what I’m saying.
@@vanceforrest4085 yes it does take whole screen, take a look at 2021 Volvo CX60, or even cheap on 2017 Toyota Prius Prime premium they have vertical whole screen for map
Is this another "spare tire free" design? Thanks Joe
No, they come with a spare
I've been watching these (GV70's)! What's scary is that it seems you're in my head. Lots of talking to myself about which SUV to get! The cupholders look really small, like soda can size vs larger Yeti. The rear armrest looks a big saggy, like it would dump your drink. And not thrilled about the net on the back of the front seats either. But I LOVE the rest of it! The wheels look better in motion. I can always tell when you really like a car by your excitement during the review and test drive. You put a lot of thought into your reviews and I appreciate it! Genesis is building a beautiful car, but as a company, they can't seem to answer any questions about their cars and then refer you to dealers who only have one in stock and can't answer questions either. Things that make you go "hmmmm???!!!". Thanks for test driving in a beautiful area. Props to Lori (Lorrie, Laurie?)!!! Keep those reviews coming! "ON THROTTLE!"!!!
Review of 300 hp simgle turbo?
The armrest is saggy if you recline the seats
As always wonderful review! I was considering a 4 cyl Sport Prestige version of the Genesis but I ordered a 2022 BMW X3 instead as soon as I got in it I felt at home! How bout an X3 review next? I'm curious as to how many zonks you give it lol!
The light interior is perfect. Much brighter and more open. Great looking design all around.
These models at Korea have ventilated rear seats why we don’t have them here!!! That’s a MAJOR SUNK!!!
We have it in Canada. why not in the US?
Great review, love the vehicle as a whole but those Eggo Waffle wheels are a no go for me. I like rims that compliment the style not take all the attention. When I look at the side view my eyes are drawn directly to the rims and that's all I see. I want to be drawn to strong body lines or the overall design, but that's just my opinion. I like diamond stitched seats not diamond stitched rims and rear bumper inserts lol
The Spiderman wheels look nice.
Dang the hood gap kinda reminds me of my old 1998 honda accord, but instead my hood is actually broken and not part of the design.
Had the X3 M40i now GV70 3.5 yes it's a step up for less money Extremely happy My 3rd Genesis and others Have my favorite now
No it’s not. But it’s more bang for your buck.
thanks LORI BEST VIDEO ALWAYS
Genesis has superb designs to their cars. No one beats them today. The GV70 is a beauty. I would buy this over the X3 M40 i or any other SUV. It just looks the business this car.
Exact color combo and version I want. Thank you for making this vid👍🏻
Raiti Rocks 😀
That is so awesome of you to say!
@@RaitisRides thanks Raiti !
Rims look amazing 👏
Add me to the list, 3.5 Sport Prestige Uyuni white on red/charcoal (former BMW and Jaguar owner). The 340i and GLC43 are a tad quicker, but IMHO the GV70 kills them in looks and interior quality and tech. Comfort mode is luxurious, sport+ is rowdy and holds gears, but it is "thirsty" and I don't care, knew that going in. Watch out Deutschland, Genesis is serious stuff...........
This is so very true!
@@RaitisRides Keep up the great reviews !!
I can't wait for the gv60
Nice review keep up the good work Raitis
If the Genesis emblem placed in the middle of the front grille, the car would look 100% better.
how are the repair costs / service cost for the GV70 compared to BMW and Benz?
The GV70 reminds more of a Audi Q5/Porsche Macan than a BMW X3. I would buy one over a BMW. Maintenance on the German brands is a nightmare as well.
I’d get a GLC over all of em
It looks like a Polostar or Volvo face and where is the backup lights????
here on 4/12/23 and the prices on these are ridiculous. Probably going with an Acura b/c the GV70 in this package is going for 68K right now
That color is really nice gv70 def making noise in the compact suv market
You better believe it Matt!
funny because the G70 is competing directly with the bmw M340i but imo it loses quite easily. The GV70 on the other hand is far far more competitive with the X3 M40i. To be honest I was originally interested in waiting for the Rdx type S as I'm a "honda guy" but this I think has be sold. I really need to test drive one of these with the 3.5TT.
Front facia looks 👌 🔥 😍
Love my GV70 one month old. Brunswick matte green and same as Joe’s, vanilla beige. Lots of people want to talk to me about it. But I wonder if Genesis marketing needs to take a hit here. They want to know what it is so I tell them Genesis GV70. Then they say who’s Genesis?
dream car
the rims killed. performance isn't the same, test drove one and it wasn't as aggressive driving as an x3 m40i I will stick with the bmw lol
The rims are fucking disgusting I don’t know what people are seeing, but I can’t get down with them.
I test drove 4 cylinder one. You can't even compare it with BMW X3 30i. It's just comfy and luxurious. I need sporty feeling. My next would be either Alfa Romeo Stelvio or X3
@@superweeb6969 it looks like Spider-Man made those rims lol
@@hameedahmed6124 I agree even a 30i drives better then this
@@superweeb6969 imagine this, people have different tastes. I’m sure you like something that lots of people think is disgusting.
Hey, Joe, you can fit a lot of Oreos in the grill slots if needed. You making your way to 1M subs, wow!
I saw one on the road in white. Gorgeous vehicle.
Couldn’t agree more with the hood comments!
If I had the money, I would choose this over their German competitors. This has such a good styling and appealing look that those cars lack.
You are so very right!
I've been a pretty big BMW fan for much of my life and test drove the Genny GV70 (4 cyl) last week. Was really impressed with the goldilocks ride, tech, styling, warranty etc. Sure I'm a bit of a brand snob, but call me crazy as I might even take the GV70 over the X3..
Nothing wrong with that!
The color of the display "Model" on the dash, can be changed to represent the color of your own vehicle..FYI
This or Hyundai Santa Fe
Acura RDX with Honda CRV
Infiniti QX55 with Nissan Murano
Lexus NX with Toyota Venza
What do those suvs have to do with this suv?
@@mattmekhaeil both Hyundai,Nissan,Toyota,Honda
In my opinion I think the exterior on the bmw’s are better but I haven’t seen the interior yet I might like that more then the bmw’s still think it looks good though. Edit: the interior is very well designed/good looking all these “small brands” I don’t know if that’s the right wording but brands like genesis and Kia they are really stepping up there game.
I still can’t get over the exterior designs of the Genesis models. Their design language is an amalgamation of elements found within more recognizable luxury brands. Like a car you’d find in a video game…designed to be recognizable as a luxury SUV, but distant enough that you don’t get sued by Bentley (front) or Porsche (rear).
It’s literally the same shape as a Bentley beytaga and it was designed by the same guy
Also, I wish I could trade off all those "safety features" that are standard with every trim for the top engine with the top trim body style for the lowest trim price, but this isnt burger king I guess.
I dont care about a sun roof or heated seats, leather interior, just gimme the nice body style and engine that comes with the top trim at low end costs, unfortunately this comes with a logistics nightmare? , so make everyone pay by order? Perhaps have very few mass production cars on the lots?
Genesis have just launched their GV70 in the UK, Premium Line, Sports and Luxuary priced in that order but you get a basic car with all three just some bigger wheels and different crome exterior things, big extra for the comfort or tech or lex audio or rear seats confort packages, even the finger print is an extra... adding over 20% just the tech package is 10% addon.... Korean nah more like Audi pricing and do worry if that is the same service level too.. And your at GV80 prices almost..
Anything looks better then oversized Bimmer nostrils, BMW powertrain is smoother and more refined, but Genesis has a time to iron details out.
This is definitely a nice car, for sure a challenger for the German brands. However, despite being a sporty edition, I do not hear the sound that much special. It might be just the video, but it's nowhere near the M40i's engine sound, with its pops and crackles. Still, there are lots to like in this car (I love the rims for example!).
I can't wait to see the review of the all new redesigned Lexus RX 350
That's a good looking suv. I'd rock it.
I totally agree with you!
Take notes Acura,Lexus and Germans to your looking at motor trend SVU of the year!!
Man... What a sweet looking car! Should I have gotten this I stead of the RDX aspec?!
Joe and Lori...always bringing their A-game to their fans! Thank you both!
Do you see that skull in the wheel at 7:13
Those wheels are a trip!
“…. Or choking on a Twinkie…” Lol
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you Chris!
The rev hang is insane. Gonna need an aftermarket exhaust
Agree. I have it and it drives me nuts
Its more of a luxury Small SUV than sport. There are more sporty Small SUV's.
I lexus’s spindle grille way more. Not a fan of a plaque or shield shaped grille.
"Don't make me pull over, you will be choking on a Twinkie"
I'd have this with a x4m on the side...
Gorgeous, luv it!
53k for an all white interior? Clearly this was meant for people that don't have kids who wish they could have kids who then realized this interior isn't meant for people that have kids but take their neighbor to church instead
Even if you don't have kids , that shit will get dirty , the driver seat will
Well that's freaking awesome
Test drove both the gv70 price was higher than x3m40 definitely the gv70 overall package was better but they weren’t dealing and was higher in price than bmw equipment packages higher than bmw , but as to driving performance the bmw was better at handling and exhaust was better.
I would take this anyday over bmw...it just looks fresh
I love the design, in and out, but I wish car designer would find a way to put a front license plate without it looking so awkward. But what I'm really looking forward to is the EV version of this.
This is the best suv for the money
Wireless CarPlay ish a miss for me. I'm the driver but a tad more rear legroom would be nice. However, the G70 is even worse.
Best ventilated seats since my 2004 Lincoln Aviator. Kudos.
Seven months later, I ended up with a carbon black X3 M40I. Amazing ride. Fast, sounds great and has wireless CarPlay
@10:07 this suv is CLEARLY put to shame by a nearby cricket.
