  • The 2022 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport AWD ($68,500 CAD, $52,600 USD) is the newest addition to the Genesis lineup. With 380 horsepower coming out of a 3.5 L turbo-six and a claimed fuel economy of 11.6 L/100 km (with 19 inch wheels), the new GV70 looks to carve out its own place in the midsize SUV category.

    “The beauty of white space” is Korean traditional metaphor meaning empty or plain space is beautiful. It is better to call “beauty of empty space” The reason why white is old Korean painters did’t filled colours in background of their paintings . Rather, just left it white making it simple, humble and comfy. Think about iPhone white.

    Bought a GV70 3.5T in early November 2021. It's an excellent vehicle - very happy with it. My first foray in to luxury SUVs, and so far I'm not disappointed. A couple things to note: If considering the smaller 2.5T four cylinder engine, don't worry about any meaningful difference in performance from the 3.5T. I test drove both, and I really couldn't tell the difference in driving power. The smaller 2.5T makes more noise, but is no less athletic. And, it costs much less, and gets better gas mileage. The reason I went with the larger, more expensive 3.5T is because I wanted the option package with the electronically controlled suspension, as well as the option package that included the matte green finish (which looks awesome). I value quiet and smooth, so wanted the less noisy engine and the smoother suspension. All in all, really pleased. I don't like the German vehicles, purely because of the nasty repair costs. One thing to beware of: you're buying this luxury Genesis in a most-decidedly un-luxury Hyundai dealership. If you demand a white-glove dealership experience like Lexus, Mercedes, Cadillac, etc., you will NOT get that at the Hyundai dealership.

      @@blade4306 still loving it, and I would highly recommend the GV70. There isn’t anything I’d change about it. I love how quiet and smooth it is. And the technology isn’t too hard to master (I’m 59, and pretty old school when it comes to my vehicle’s knobs and buttons - I like them to be simple.). Gas mileage is just what was advertised. Plenty of power for me. I get a ton of compliments on it, especially the matte green color. As I mentioned in my original review, you’re buying this from a Hyundai dealership. If your used to white-glove treatment from luxury brand dealerships (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, et al), brace yourself - you won’t be getting that from a Hyundai dealership. In fairness, some are better than others - we winter in Scottsdale Arizona, where the Hyundai dealership is quite professional. Northern Chicago suburbs is a different story. All things considered, very pleased with the GV70.

      Florida law firm launches class-action suit against the Genesis GV80
      The lawsuit alleges the luxury SUV has "dangerous defects" in its steering
      A Florida law firm specializing in consumer advocacy has filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Hyundai, claiming that the Genesis GV80 sport-utility is unsafe.
      Corwin Law, based in Boca Raton, filed the lawsuit on behalf of owners and lessees of the GV80, which launched as an all-new model for 2021. The lawsuit claims the automaker is “promoting the GV80 luxury SUV, despite being aware of dangerous defects affecting the vehicle’s driveability that are documented in Korean news media and current customer message boards.”

Personally, I think there's too much emphasis on horsepower and how quick or fast a lot of these vehicles are nowadays. The average purchaser of a sport ute, luxury sedan or truck will NEVER push their vehicles to their full potential. Hell, it takes the average driver close to freakin' 30 seconds or more just to get to 45 MPH from a stop at a traffic light.

      Florida law firm launches class-action suit against the Genesis GV80
      The lawsuit alleges the luxury SUV has "dangerous defects" in its steering
      A Florida law firm specializing in consumer advocacy has filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Hyundai, claiming that the Genesis GV80 sport-utility is unsafe.
      Corwin Law, based in Boca Raton, filed the lawsuit on behalf of owners and lessees of the GV80, which launched as an all-new model for 2021. The lawsuit claims the automaker is “promoting the GV80 luxury SUV, despite being aware of dangerous defects affecting the vehicle’s driveability that are documented in Korean news media and current customer message boards.”

    First of all....love your channel. Second, thanks for doing the review. I'm six months into my decked out GV70. I drove five hours to get exactly what I wanted in Silver/Aquamarine blue. I traded up from a '19 G70 3.3T dynamic (too tall for it). Genesis definitely hit a home run with the GV70. I agree with the turbo lag and it could have just a bit better gas mileage. But a phenomenal SUV that looks better than a Macan for much less money. The biggest challenge for Genesis is brand recognition. Last year, they sold 1/20th of what Tesla did because Tesla has a cult following. Nobody knows Genesis after six years as a separate brand. Those that have heard of it still think it's that big sedan made by Hyundai. Their best publicity, unfortunately, is Tiger Woods rolling down a cliff in one.

    As per the GV70 itself. I don't understand why people would want to buy an SUV and expect it to be fun to drive. For those who actually NEED the practicality of an SUV, fun to drive isn't really something on their mind because they can't drive enthusiastically if they're actually hauling people and cargo around anyhow. I guess this fits the bill for people who don't actually need SUV but just want it because...GOTTA HAVE SUV!!11!ONE!!

Otherwise I’d have bought a palisade or a telluride cus they are amazing vehicles just not sporty at all whether on road or off, that’s why. When you buy a 70k spot utility vehicle, you want it to do all the things.
