I purchased a new G70 sport prestige. I feel as if I am finally driving once again. The vehicle is responsive and nimble. Best features the rear wheel drive (if you don't have the AWD), smooth 8 speed transmission while using the comfort drive selection and the outstanding 15 speaker Lexicon system. The amount of standard technology in this car is mind-blowing. You need to read the owner's manual for certain!!!
After watching your review on this vehicle I decided to test drive this vehicle. OMG you were right on every topic. I pull the trigger and purchased a 2024 Genesis G70 3.3t Sport Prestige AWD. It puts a smile on my face every time I start it up. Thank you for all your in-depth reviews. Love your channel!!
2024 2.5 sport prestige in Makalu Grey owner here. 300 miles. Luv this car. But yes as with many sure wish the US got the same instrument screen other markets get.
It's amazing how they took apart the great Kia K900 and put It's features in ALL the new Genesis and other Kia models. The G80 and G90 are my cars! I like the G70. However, I need more room.
Without exception, every person I have spoken with who owns the G70 absolutely loves it. You couldn’t give me any German car. All of them are a nightmare to own. Great review as always Lauren. Thanks 😊
I tried the 2021 bmw m340l, in the end I chose the genesis g70 3.3t sport prestige, the reason is that you get much more for your money, plus with gb4 ecu tunes and lap 3 tcu tune, I only see German cars in the rearview mirror. genesis 🥇
I have a 2021 G70 Sport that the lease is about up on. Debating to buy it outright, swap for a 2024, or just turn it in and buy a BMW M240i. I've put 30k on the G70, no issues outside of he dark chrome around the windows getting an odd buildup on it from car washes. Been very reliable and fun to drive. Just really impressed with how much better all around the M240i feels.
I love the way this car drives! But after driving the new M340i and C43, this interior does feel outdated. While it’s still cheaper than the German rivals, it’s not THAT much cheaper anymore (closing in on $60K for a top of the line model). They needed to either have done the full analog gauges or the full digital gauges found in other markets, but not his half-and-half which looks very half baked. I’m surprised we didn’t get that this year when they refreshed the HVAC section to be touch controls. Plus, I do think the interior needs some ambient lighting. It doesn’t have to be as much as the Mercedes- just use what you already have in the GV70! Also, upgrading to that 3.5T engine would’ve made the performance in the top trim much more competitive vs. the competition. I know it sounds cheesy, but I’m looking to replace my 2019 Volvo with a more sporty competitor via lease. Yes, the Genesis comes out to be cheaper by like $80-$100/month, but you can see that extra $$$ in the German rivals with the better tech (and the B58 engine in the BMW’s case, I have zero idea how that car is decent MPG wise while the Genesis and the C43 are so thirsty with 18 MPG in the city). This is also one of the few cars in its class that offers ventilated seats and power trunk standard in the top trim! I also love the blind spot camera when changing lanes, but it’s very difficult for me to overlook those other areas if I’m already spending this kind of $$$. Not to mention the horror stories I’ve read about Genesis’ service department. I really wish they put 1000% effort into this car- it would be so good!
@@CarCoachReports That little 2 5T has a lot of GO power. I remember when the Z/28 wasn't going that fast. The 93 LT1 manual 6spd ran a 14 sec qtr at a flat 100 mph. This little engine has a lot of mo hair! Quickest time I've seen is a 13.8 qtr at 102mph. And still get about 30mpg! PLUS, it wouldn't hurt to be seen in this car. It is still very attractive. Genesis still has some refinement issues to work on. Hopefully that 70 can be had with real leather. Not that pleather that's a killer in disguise.
Even though this car has a wide muscular body, it's small but that's what it's supposed to be, so it succeeds there. But this is a well built car that makes the mature enthusiast feel youthful and exciting, with good looks. It's a comfortable mature ride with an upscale-ness to it that gives off a class above vibe. It fits my character and as I test drove both 3.3TT V6 and 2.5T I am on my way to buy one as I type this. I just wish manufacturer didn't do away with foglights. I feel as though foglights would compliment the headlights and overall aesthetics of the car itself.
Great review but not many are going to track this car. With its low resale value this will make for an excellent used car with way lower maintenance costs vs German.
I drive the M340i and I have a friend who has the 3.3T G70. My M340i is definitely faster but my friend’s G70 is still surprisingly well balanced in ride quality and comfy. My BMW is bigger in size but the G70 feels roomier inside don’t know why. And the 3.3T G70 is even slightly cheaper than a 330i.
@@CarCoachReports for those like myself who prefer to own a car. Not to lease one, which is basically a long term rental. Same for lease turn ins. A boon of profit for dealers, but an UP still gets robbed. This is keeping it real and your subscribers should all be informed by the Queen of cars, Lauren.
Leasing is horrible. You wind up throwing your car away. Just buy a bomb like I did, toss 6 grand into it over an 8 yr period, keep the fluids changed, maintain it right,and you can keep your old Camry XLE V6 running for another 2 or three years. And the new Camry AWD I bought has yet to be driven more than a few miles. But I definitely like this neo Hyundai. Car is just fab looking. And still, resale value takes a big hit in these cars. The only winner in this is the dealer, and their fraudulent certified pre owned lease turn ins. But for those who like the cars, go for it.
I like the G70, but I think the back end is hideous. And I hate the oval exhaust openings. Looks terrible on any vehicle. If the back end looked like the older G70, I'd consider it for my next vehicle.
They dupe you with clean lines and nice interiors. Mechanically, this will be at best a headache at worst a nightmare. Their warranties are what they are for a reason; cause no one would buy their crap without it.
That’s what the ignorant used to say about Lexus in the 90’s…it’s just a Toyota. The g70 and its siblings are built on bespoke RWD architecture. No Hyundai in the North American market is RWD. And the exterior design is totally different than any Hyundai. You can’t say that about the Lexus.
@@CarCoachReports We repair them at a Hyundai facility, Genesis Bombs when it comes to reliability. As does BMW. Benz too, for that matter. Lexus is still better, just a lot slower. Near your home town. Well, family does
@@kromahj Yup. With 441k miles, our 07 Tundra is running in tip top shape, and it's ALL original save for the brakes, rotors and radiator. When you can achieve THAT in a Hyundai, then you can boast. Ford is THE best Meduim duty rig out there.

Braces are rad support. Cutouts behind the arches in the front are to release pressure in the wheel well.
Just wish Genesis’ corporate mainstream cousin Kia maintained the Stinger.
The Stinger was odd looking, but went like stink. Great post!
Agreed

it up, front looks 'ok', the back-end
is a train wreck, right down to

@@bikersoncallI would benefit from a Stinger GT because it goes like stink. Issue is, I'm too tall to fit into one. Great post response.

Great review. Thank you
13:08 The G70 does not have remote park assist. Its the GV70 that has the feature. Not sure why its excluded. Its actually kind of handy.
How about the Cadillac ct4 .nobody ever puts it the same class as the g70 or the German cars .
Which ct4 does this match. The sport or the v.

3.3 liter Twin-turbo V6 model.
There should be an additional brake light on the edge of the tailgate. 🤔
Why ??
@@bigden2755 -It would look better. 😉
Really hate the red sticking. Should be optional especially on a blue car

This car has ALWAYS been PHAT!
Mid pack in the class..
They make some interesting looking cars but it still needs more time to see about their longterm reliability.
Great review but not many are going to track this car. With its low resale value this will make for an excellent used car with way lower maintenance costs vs German.
Nice review nice car
Reminds me of a Toyota soarer
My olds aurora had more rear seat room. Its problem was gm cars are designed to age with more problems so your forced to get rid of it.
LMAO..... really ???
Good review, but I don't think the 3.3T model outperforms an m340i.
Definitely not but it's still great
I drive the M340i and I have a friend who has the 3.3T G70. My M340i is definitely faster but my friend’s G70 is still surprisingly well balanced in ride quality and comfy.

Lauren, check the trade value of a G vs a Bimmer 3 after 3 or 4 years. Seriously, the Genesis Bombs in resale value
leasing is the answer to that

Good😊
M340i out performs this but is 20k more expensive and much less reliable. Mercedes as well.
Germans should be very concerned.
I agree and there is more powerful cars coming
@@CarCoachReports I am wishing that I could sit in one.
Amazing car and is not a ford or chevy pile of junk
Ever notice how all the reviewers title their videos 'is it the best?', doesn't matter what car... spineless *yawn*
Way too many recalls for my taste. These don't have the reliability of a Lexus.
WHAT IS UP WITH YOUR HAIR ?

Bet you bought big 3 junk and got stuck with repairs due to short warranty and cheapo engineering....💯🤣🙄
Couldn't be more wrong... Lots of G70s with 200k and running strong.
You’re totally correct about BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. I’ve owned all three and they’re all junk even before the warranty expires.
2020 3 series needed a new struct😂. 2k repair
My only issue with this car is that is still a Hyundai.
not so much as it used to be

Who wants to buy an overpriced Kia. And good luck with that warranty... they will probably find any reason not to cover you. 😂

Says the numb nut who’s never owned a Genesis or Kia. 😂
Every other brand will also find any reason not to cover you.
Hyundai and KIA infamous about that. 10 year warranty, for what?
