2019 Genesis G70 3.3T SPORT // A Sharper Stinger...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2018
- Seriously you guys, I love this car. Genesis has created a fantastic AWD sport sedan with the G70. Also, even just KNOWING that you can get this car in a manual with RWD and an LSD gives me the tingles... Enjoy the V6 in this video and Subscribe!!
( A note on the bolster function that I was complaining about: They return to the 'default' (whatever you saved as your seat setting) setting after releasing sport mode, but only after opening up all the way first. So if you like a tight bolster feel all the time, just disable the sport bolster function in the menu. )

I honestly trust the quality of this car more than a Mercedes. Times have really changed. This is my pic over the euros.
@trstnhn My heart shouts Mercedes, but my head says Genesis, but it has to do with prejudice I suppose.
I heard its because the Korean car companies have recruited some quality European engineers and designers to collaborate on their new models. they been making some juicy vehicles putting their minds together.
There is 5 year warranty for a reason
@trstnhn so many people are late or stand haven't a Clue. Have owned nothing but Hyundai vehicles since 2003. And the reliability has been stellar for me. I now own a 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan which I got for a great price. My cousin has a 2015 Impala which he paid a little more for, and his wife a 2016 Cadillac SRX. I can tell you now the quality in materials and comforts blows away that of the Impala and SRX. The ride quality and cabin noise isn't even fair as a comparison. My cousin does agree the Genesis is nice but he is stuck in buying American even though I told him most of there vehicles aren't made in America
You said it brother!
This car is $57K CA. I just went to BMW Canada's site and comparably equipped a 340i X drive. Price was$74 580 CA. No question which car I'd buy! G70 is awesome!
That Badge excites me that it doesn't say BMW, Lexus, or Mercedes. I love the fact you can own something as beautiful and luxurious as this Genesis G70 and not see somebody driving the same car as you every 2 minutes. I'm that guy who loves having something that can do everything just as good as your almighty named brand item, then getting to show you that I paid a lot less.
Johnny Dwyer that’s a good point. There’s a 3 Series every 20 cars. They lease em cheap and it makes them lose their appeal when everyone drives one. Genesis is more rare so it’s more special and turns more heads
@@alexsosna7180 Just FYI, BMW is not alone in "leasing them cheap" as you put it. There is a massive secondary market for cars like BMW and Audi, so locking in a supply of off-lease cars to sell as used cars is a sound business strategy. People buy shittons of used BMWs, probably more people than buy new BMWs.
All that said, if you think this is comparable quality to BMW or Mercedes, watch the review again. He definitely points out a few places where the Germans are still making better cars (like the transmission). Not that that makes this trash or anything, just that it's not quite the best ever.
@@redlion145 a tcu tune solves that and gives you under 4 second 0-60 with a couple of bolt ons soooooo... : )
Just got my Nürburg Green 3.3 yesterday ... wow, blown away. And FYI you can turn off the side bolster adjustments in Sport mode!
got mine in carbon grey 3.3t htrac....yes u can turn off the side bolsters!

RAGEINYOUTH 님..저기 혹시 저 기억나세요??
너굴맨 could you translate
RAGEINYOUTH ً He said, "Hey do you remember me by any chance?"
Jinseop Lee then nope i rlly dont
RAGEINYOUTH Sorry I mistake you with somebody else. Same picture similar name.
I bought a Mallorca Blue 3.3T Sport and it is the best car I have ever owned!! I traded an Evo MR for it and have not looked back! Driving it for 6 days now
And the grin has not left my face!!!!
Paul Larman how's your fuel economy? Pretty bad for me.. About 11/100km is the best I've been able to achieve
i am averaging about 9.8, but mostly highway - about what i expected
You bought the best color in my opinion. Striking.
After hearing about how awesome the Stinger is, it got me hyped about the G70. I love sport sedan competition. It amazes me that they managed to make the G70 better than the Stinger in some ways without it being a complete reskin.
Completely agree. Korea seems to have taken the sports sedan market by the horns with their amazing, affordable cars. I personally prefer the stinger, as $10k . matters and I'm a sucker for that hatch, but having driven both AND the new S7, I just can't justify the brand or price when what you end up getting is close to the same.
I have this car and cant praise it highly enough. I haven’t seen a negative review yet; it’s winning a shit ton of awards, and everyone who drives one is amazed. Yet some people continue to bash it without driving it. It’s kinda weird. But whatever. If you want a BMW quality car, with M series like performance, and extra money in your pocket, seriously consider this car. The car itself is amazing, but so is the warranty and concierge service. You wont regret it.
This is an excellent format and you have a great review style, can't wait to see this channel take off more.
I just got mine today and it's amazing. Chose it over C43 AMG / Audi S4.
Wow. Good to hear. Hope you enjoy it!
mxc2007 idk about all of that but it is a good car
the dragon beileve it. The stinger was better to me than those cars, so this is just that much better. Just my opinion
G70 is my dream car.. I will buy G70 when they come out
Wedow I respect it
Can’t wait for this to be released in the U.S.
Glad I ran across your channel. Nice review.
awesome! So no S5 Sportsback, then.
I am shopping for one right now but I can say I love Throttle House reviews. The way you are telling your driving impressions makes me understand the dynamics of the cars. Great works guys...
Bought the G70 3.3T AWD here in korea and drove 4000km till now. Performance wise I am 99 percent satisfied especially with the durability of the power train. Even I drive at the mountain winding roads in summer the power train is very stable. I think the power train cooling is very good 👍
Love the car. My only little gripe is that the rear turn signals aren't L.E.D. They should be, especially since the Stinger has L.E.D. turn signals. At the very least, it should be an option.
chigasaki06 replace it
easiest fix ever
Watched your review and dougs back to back. I honestly think you did the car better justice :) this channel has become my new fav!
I have the sports set up Himalayan gray... your review is 100% accurate. The G70 is amazing for the price. Thank you for your honest review.
Hey TH,
Another AWESOME Video- TY TY TY !!!!
I just had the 3.3TT version for 2.5 days and the sun was shining with ZERO rain. I live in Vancouver & am a car guy.
Here are the 3 negatives: (a) The back seat doesn't accommodate anyone over 5'9" for a journey lasting over 30 minutes. (b) The long term reliability and trade-in value is a HUGE question mark (c) the vectoring is brake applied to the inside wheel- Lots of grabbing going on during spirited driving.
Now, onto the Positives - EVERYTHING ELSE!!
This handles like a go cart (it is a Compact car) the steering wheel feels right, the turning radius is one of the best, It has 5 ride selections, the tech is in abundance, the seats can be sporty or comfy, that engine - torque & HP is ample (4.7 seconds from 0-60), the sight-lines are excellent, HUD displays whats needed, the adaptive cruise works really well, the 15 speaker Lexicon sound system is very good.
I can go on and on.
The summary is this- If you want a Value filled 4 door vehicle that looks great, has an AWESOME interior, is quick & fast when u want it to be, has the latest tech and your mother-in-law will like it too b/c in comfort mode it drives very smoothly then this is a big contender vs the Germans, Japanese and maybe Cadillac.
Its an all in price for the 3.3TT V-6 of $57,500 Cdn.
Book a test drive and see for yourself. Excellent compact 4 door sedan and if u enjoy assertive driving try the 3.3TT. Too much fun!!
Also, the personal touch and customer service is a huge marketing advantage for them.
Cheers from Vancouver, Canada!!
Just found your channel. I love how you reviewed this car! Looking forward to more reviews!!
I think the new gen Hyundai and the Genesis cars look leagues better then older Korean cars.. As long as these cars show themselves to be somewhat reliable then id consider buying one!
Lots more coming. Subscribe!
Throttle House already done! Haha
First off great review! Watched a few of yours already and appreciate your productions.
Second, thanks you for the insights on the car. Wanted to get a BMW drivers perspective as it’s a great benchmark. I know this is the big dog review but am also interested in the 2.0 sport manual. I feel like that’s going to sway a lot of hot hatch drivers away if it’s priced right.
Thanks for following along! And yes. There are a few advantages to an equivalent BMW but this is a fantastic car. A manual review will hopefully be in the near future.
Wow very nice review. I have mine for 1 month and I love my g70! I agree with your review
Michael Vachon what trim and colour did you get?
SamZ ASAP siberian gray 3.3 sport
Nice same... Well Siberian Ice.. I think it's the same..
Almost bought an A4 this week. Thank god I didn’t. Patiently waiting for the US release to test drive this. Great review.
before watching this video i would never have guessed one can listen to the sound of torque. learn something new everyday.
Tom, I really enjoy your reviews - honest and compelling. As to this car, not here yet (Australia) but hopefully due soon
Great editing, subbed.
Good review! I'll be watching more of your vids. Side note: I can't help but think this is a lighthearted Ron Swanson doing car reviews. Internet gold.
Haha. I’ve been called a few things but that’s a new one. Love it. Thanks for watching! Lots more coming
I just got a 2021 g70 3.3T sport and I’m in love! It matches and beats a lot of things in my 335i
I got the chance to drive a 2020 with the 3.3T yesterday for my job and absolutely loved driving it!
Thomas, great review! Good job, thanks! Very cool car.
OMG ! I love this car! Fell in love at first sight .
Awesome review and channel. I hit subscribe. I like that you’re driving most of the review.
Really enjoyed your content.
I'm in the US and not sure when it'll be out, but I got to see a bunch of G70/80/90 and more luxury models of G90s while visiting Korea.
I'm really proud of what Hyundai/Genesis have accomplished and look forward to what they'll bring in the future.
As per the guy who was talking about the "N" model, I'd really love to see a REAL sport sedan.
Yea, the 3.3T version is pushing good numbers, but i start to drool thinking about track ready versions of G70 or G80.
Just waiting patiently to trade in my Audi :p
P.S. you got yourself another subscriber!
Another excellent vid. Informative and entertaining. Keep the the awesome work
It’s a great time to be a car enthusiast! So many good cars!
thanks for the great review. I am about to buy a 2023 3.3T, and your review is, of course, confirming my decision to skip the lease-only German sedans. Thanks for the descriptions. Excellent overview.
Another great review! The first review I watch was your WRX: new vs old, and then came across a few more since. Great work, Subscribed. Hyundai and Kia are making some serious competition these days.
They really are. Thanks for watching!
Test drove this last week and honestly I would have bought it on the spot had I not been emigrating soon.
Shankovich where you emigrating to?
Shankovich Russia lol jk
Excellent review. For the record, in the US, the Kia Stinger in either GT or GT2 trim (strangely not in GT1) does have the LSD.
To go off your first point, the Infiniti Q50 Resdsport does not have any LSD option for it. Even the RWD version with 400hp has no LSD option. Meanwhile Genesis does. Important atrrention to details and no corners cut by Genesis like Infiniti
lnfiniti has lost their focus. The Q50 has a better motor (in my opinion), but everything else in the G70 surpasses the Q50. I would get the G70 over every Asian competitor and some German offerings as well. It's near the top of my list for my next vehicle.
as long as one does not turn off stability control, what difference does not having LSD make?
I own a q50 but with the 3.7 and in 2-3 years The g70 is a definite option as much as i love infiniti and i enjoy mine I feel like the G70 would make me feel more whole as a drivers car
"as long as one does not turn off stability control, what difference does not having LSD make?"
A lot, if performance matters to you. Stability control without a LSD is basically braking the faster wheel and/or cutting overall power until traction equalizes, making for a lower-performing car, in some cases dramatically so. An LSD will shift power to the slower wheel without the need to brake or cut engine power, making the car faster AND more predictable. And a helluva lot more fun.
so in your opinion, is a LSD with a MacPherson Strut setup superior to a Double Wishbone w/o LSD?
good review as always.
Feels good to see Canadian dollars in a review...
Very nice channel that I just discovered!
Glad to have you! Don’t forget to sub!
Just subb'd man, nice vid and down to the bone awesome review without the unneccesary bullcrap coming from other so called motor journalist. I'm no fan of Genesis, but I like how far they've come, and I like their design language!
Good to have you! Glad you enjoyed. Lots more coming.
Love your channel, great videos
Thanks for subbing!
Awesome car. Good show
I am turning in my lease this fall (Infiniti Q50-300HP), and will definitely test drive the G70 soon. Infiniti is trying to get me to lease another Infiniti but I just think Infiniti has fallen quite a bit since its "G" days. Your video has me very interested, thank you.
I just recently discovered the Kia Stinger and fell in love and now by extension this car the G70 3.3. I've pretty much decided 1 of these 2 cars will be replacing my 300C in a year or two. Being more of a blue collar guy I love that these cars have Kia and Genesis logos as opposed to BMW or Audi whatever. There is a certain upscale image to those cars but it's bot necessarily a positive image to many people. Having an upscale looking car and being able to avoid the snide jibes like "did you win the lottery or something" is a good thing to me.
Awesome vid, makes me wanna upgrade my tuned 2012 Genesis RSpec 5.0L V8!
This or the stinger.... this or the stinger... God I wish I could test drive this but no dealers and no service via Hyundai anymore means I'll never see one in NL. But so nice.
I love this car 😍😍
I was planning on buying the new Kia Stinger this fall, in part to numerous terrific video reviews that I have watched here on UA-cam. But now after having seen what this new G70 looks like, along with the fantastic video reviews that have recently started popping for this car, I am going to opt for the Genesis instead! And I cannot wait to have it personally delivered to me in one of those glass outfitted trailers!!! I work for a huge company and I am going to have it delivered right out front of the building!! It's going to be Awesome!!!! (and going to go with the Nurburg Green exterior color)
D* W* that delivery service is only available in Canada.
Yes indeed!! I love being a Canadian!!
And I do not know if this is only a Canadian thing as well.....this car also comes with first 5 years of scheduled maintenance included!!
I have not found a negative review of the g70 as of yet... Got my 3.3t sport last week and I love it.. Only negatives.. Gas mileage has been really bad, but I'm testing this further by using eco mode more. I have used sport quite a bit.. Otherwise.. It's just amazing!
Just rented a g70. Holy shit it's amazing. I love it. I can't get bored looking at it. I've seen every type of Mercedes, Audi, and BMW sedans and they're boring to me. But the g70 looks so sexy. I call it the poor man's Aston Martin as it looks that good and everyone's jaws drop seeing it as you they don't realize it is a Hyundai.
I thoroughly enjoyed this review.
Thanks! Subscribe! Doing a similar one of the stinger in a few weeks
I will definitely be getting this car next. My Audi has been a complete nightmare and I’ve spent over 6k in one year on maintenance. It’s so not worth it when you have genesis putting out things like this!!!
Excellent review, very informative.
G70 looks fierce angry and classic. Thats why i like that vibe
Your review makes me want to buy that car or at least to do test drive. I am a big fan of BMW and owner BMW 5 GT now.
How more people are not getting this vehicle is beyond me! Picking my new Havana Red Dynamic G70 up on Wednesday!!
Excellent real review. Kudos.
Stinger GT2 is coming bro...3.3L Turbo V6 engine, 8 speed auto with AWD...G70 SPORTS. Nice looking car too
Hands down best car reviewer on UA-cam.
shmee would like a word with you as he gives stark details why down to the comparison reviews of each model, including the history of the cars and actual numbers instead of using a subjective term to relay info to fans and potential buyers.
I love the G70 but when will it be available in USA
Great and positive review. Thank you.
Incredible, but I still bought a Stinger GT2 and have zero regrets. Had a Hyundai Elantra before, which is size-comparable to the g70, but I just love the big sloping back and bulk of the Stinger.
Looks way better than the stinger, but I wish it had just as much interior space as the stinger and the hatchback trunk.
Great review. I just subscribed! I currently drive a BMW Gran Coupe and was curious about the G70.
Thanks! And hey, you made a good choice. I’m a massive bmw fan.
I subscribed because your content is awesome and because you're a bimmer fan
Nice review, thanks!
Very good review. Subbed.
Hey Thomas. Good overview, I love your videos. Now when Genesis decided to start inching forward I thought about getting back to this video for potential europeans looking at Genesis. First of all, if they come to my country, that'd be no.1 car (not sedan, vehicle) I'd buy next. However, I must raise some concerns that prove to be challenging for automakers (like Infiniti exiting EU) nowadays. First of all, it is unacceptable(not for you, but for EU market) to base how good a car is on how it sounds, how quick it is etc.. for 1 engine. In EU we pay more for gas so around 180-200 hp diesel/petrols are much, much more common(and those create sales). Hyundai/Kia have only 1 EU 2.2d engine for these cars and engine is rough, trans not as good as premium germans and theres no awd variant considered for now. Then, infotainment/digital dash is miles behind merc and audi. G70 is 'good' but its old gen BMW (F30). Knobs and switches, but that Kia Ceed screen does not sell a car. Then, G70 is cramped in back and has average-ish boot compared to G20 3 series. And as I noticed, theres bare metal on B pillar around your head. Could mean A4 and 3 series are quieter. Only potential entry penetration for Genesis in EU is superb amount of equipment compared to basic spec Germans. It has to be a better 'car' overall then them. Jag XE and Alfa Giulia (nor Q50 and Lexus IS) are, and hence they sell like shit. That Jag rides sublime, but no go as a competitor.
I hope Genesis makes a case for itself in EU. Best of luck there 🤝✌
Genesis has maden a big stuff this time, G70.
I personally prefer the Stinger because it is slightly longer, has more cargo room, and has a hatchback. It feels more unique to me, and has more of an Audi look to it while this has the Mercedes/BMW styling. I also got a great deal since it's been out longer and snagged a clean, low-mileage CPO model. Can't go wrong with either.
Great review
I want the deep growl from the car. Everything else is coming just well.
I recently purchased this cars baby brother the Cerato GT. Not sure what name they give it in the US but it has a 1.6t engine. This is my first Kia and I took a bit of a gamble. I have since found out that it is UNBELIEVABLE! Very very impressed with its power, handling and features. My next car will be a .........Kia of course.
Cue the brand snobs in 3, 2, 1...
I’m sitting here waiting, but nothing yet! Haha
So true lol. Pure haters saying "how's that Hyundai?" when I've shown them mine but yet they can't stop staring lol
You can afford you buy, you can't you kia
@@04tsxpower kia's are pretty nice nowadays. Get out of the dinosaur ages
@Joshua Moore 😘
Got mine today. 3.3 htrac. Cant wait for the engine breakin 600 miles to get over.....btw u can turn the exit/entry music off but u gotta put the car in park first otherwise the sub menus for it would not be active. All the controls are very intuitive overwhelming at first but within 5 mins everything is crystal clear
i like this guy already the car amazing by the way and anyone complains
nice looking car. test drove 1 of them. the back seat super tight. if u are a tall person, no1 can seat behind u.
The only thing I would like to see on this pretty much perfect car is that I'd like to see the sports exhaust found on the 2.0T but quad exhaust instead of dual. I'd also like to see a full red leather interior. I'm an absolute sucker for white cars with red interiors. Then the G70 would become the ultimate sports sedan.
Good looking front-end.
Flat bottom rim, LED turn signals, and MAYBE a bigger display and this legit would be the perfect car for my personal preferences. I usually like a panoramic sun roof but I feel like I wouldn't care because of how compact this vehicle is.
I have that model in Himalaya Gray. Amazing car.
Nice car
This is the only Kia/Hyundai/Genesis car I would ever consider. So good.
And yes, it reminds me of Alfa with some hints of Infiniti.
Just drive a ford, dude
What????
You'd skip the G80?
g70 does look better, but I wish it had the hatch of the Stinger for better storage
I'm thrilled that they are going to offer that manual in their 2.0T with a LSD and rear wheel drive. Just awesome. This car is going to be so much more reliable than a BMW.
Yea Pretty much. Time will tell if the rwd can compete with BMWs balance. Can’t wait to compare them.
I actually saw this car. it was a really nice car.
I got that exact genesis parked outside lmao best car you can buy there is a costume mode as well!
Awesome review. I'm a bmw guy as well. If you had $60,000 to splurge on a car would you choose a bmw 440i Gran Coupe at approx $15,000 more or the G70 3.3T?
Lol he said Aboot ! Good job 👍🏼
The depreciation on the Genesis brand is stupid. No doubt in my mind I’d get one of these as a used car in 3-4 years. Literally a no-brainer.
I bought a new 2023 3.3T AWD Sport (Canada) in the fall, and love it so far. I was originally looking at the Cadillac CT5-V, BMW M340i, MB C43AMG, and Audi S4/S5 SB, but I found that I actually preferred the G70 on balance as a car. The fact that it undercut the others, similarly equipped, in price by $20K (CT5-V) to $30K (I'm looking at you, C43AMG) was complete icing on the cake that made the choice the smart one as well!
The C43 got ruled out quick, as for my ~$90K I'd go to an E450 for a much better quality interior and better lux features. Coming out of a Cadillac CTS, I was horribly disappointed with the dealer experience, ran into issues as the car hit 7 years (only 70K kms, though), so it was handicapped... although the car was fantastic to drive and be in (both my CTS and the CT5-V). The Audi had a little more of a budget look and feel, and I don't love the front-heavy design. I've had a number of BMWs, and the M340i was a natural choice... but I didn't like the angular, spaceship-ey look of the interior or exterior.
From a performance perspective, the CT5-V and M340i were both beasts - a little more power than the G70, a little sharper handling... but harsher ride and not as comfortable. I found that the G70 had a great balance of interior and exterior design, quality, comfort and handling - in fact, I'd say it's more of a spiritual successor to the e46 and e90 BMWs than the M340i is!
With a ~$3500 exclusionary 8yr/160K kms Genesis warranty added on, I've purchased many years of worry-free driving.
Yes the gt2 all-wheel dive doesn't have lsd but the gt2 rear-wheel drive version does in the U.S not sure about the Canadian or European version tho but he is right it doesn't have a manual sadly.
A modern 4 door Skyline R34 GTR? I think that if I had to buy an automatic AWD car for under R35 GTR money I’d buy this right now.
It's perfect
Just a few years ago, I laughed at Hyundai or Genesis which they prefer to use, but both Hyundai and Kia have grown more than perhaps any other competition over the years.
Same price as a Subaru WRX STI. I was totally going for an STI but I've always driven manuals and I'd like a auto but I love so much the STIs. So, Genesis has even more power than an STI, move features inside, and auto. I test drive the STI and a C43 AMG (wich if u pick additionals to make it lose to G70 3.3t it goes CAD13k over) and tomorrow I'm going to test one of these little beats.
This better be one of the cars genesis brings to the UK when they make their big return
Was he driving and testing this car's performance and handling with those tyre pressures all over the place, and are the recommended pressures really that high? Two of the tyres were 10 psi apart.
