      @@hasepahljevici2120 It's stupid on the Genesis, I don't like how they implement it with that black box in the console with two red dots looking back at you. They still haven't figured out how to hide it or at least make it flush and flow with the console. I'm actually glad the G70 doesn't have it and this is a rare opinion as it seems like most people haven't actually looked at the gauge in person or driven models that have it (GV70), lots of people complain about it and they all seem like potential buyers or simply people who don't know better.

    I prefer when dashes are designed around the driver, especially the ever-more intrusive touch screens. Tilt them towards the driver as that's the individual that matters. It's not a driver-centric vehicle otherwise. Even my wife's Tuscon has a dash that is molded in towards the driver. Love it.

It literally could decimate if it got a Magma trim and a updated Guage cluster, the half digital really kills it for me but outside of that the 3 series would have no chance... Definitely working on getting a G70 or GV70, this spec is perfect.

    The quilted leather throughout the doors and seats is beautiful craftsmanship that sets this brand a step further from their Hyundai roots. The base engine is also impressive considering its Hyundai’s strongest engine that goes in their sonata n-line models. Despite the cool interior and standard sporty drive, I do have a few concerns.
    For the price, is it really a better deal than a sonata N-line or the sonata limited? For sub 40k you can get that sporty drive in a tech heavy cabin or a more fancy refined experience in the limited. I am not saying that genesis doesn’t have its value on its own but I’m not sure I’d go with the G70 over a sonata. Med size cabin, much better gas mileage, great value, same warranty, and you save around 5k from the base g70. The 365hp AWD is amazing but with that fuel economy and how small the back is; I wonder what the daily livability is like.
    TLDR: personally I’d pick the sonata over the g70. Better value, more livable for daily use, better size. (Or id go for the G80)

    • @KevinSmith-qi5yn
      @KevinSmith-qi5yn 15 днів тому

      The reliability will probably be better with the G70 since it's a longitudinal drive train. It's much easier to service the inline 4. The primary reason for poor reliability is a lack of maintenance, and things that are hard to reach probably won't be maintained. The G70 has a RWD option in the US. It also may have a better dealer experience since Genesis is trying to make their experience equivalent to Lexus. But that... depends on the dealer.

    I much prefer the original design, which had some nice creases to the exterior. The refresh looks like a blob with a Superman grill. Tacky. I usually root for the underdog, but I'm not sure I'd choose this over a BMW 3-series. I say that as someone who isn't a huge fan of BMW. You're paying a BMW price for a vehicle with a Hyundai dealership experience and no clout. I do love the interior design though and that engine sounds fantastic.

    Hyundai/Kia/Genesis was burning white hot a couple of years ago - it seems like I barely see them any more. Perhaps between the engine/reliability issues, the dealer network not really expanding, styling that hasn't really aged well - and their early lead on EV's in that market which has also seriously cooled... It'll be interesting to see what happens to Genesis. Still, this G70 is a lovely car.

BMW is much better overall in technology, we’ve seen it but these are gonna be more special I think because from what i’ve been hearing, the G70 is being called off within the next year or 2. My biggest issue with this is the lack of space. I myself sat in this backseat and its just not it. Its not really good whatsoever minus the nice materials. And at 58 no heated seats 🤨?

    Imho, the BMW 3-Series and the Audi A4 are basically untouchable in this class. The quality of those is head and shoulders above all competitors, the Benz C-Class is actually quite soundly beaten in quality by the BMW/Audi at this level, Benz isn't competitive until you get to E-Class or higher. A Genesis simply isn't even in the same ballpark from an engineering or build or material quality; even the Alfa Romeo Giulia has a vastly superior Ferrari-designed platform architecture to the G70.

      You're ignorant. I've owned several different cars, all with turbochargers: from Nissan, (2) Subarus, (2) VWs, and (3) BMWs. Not one of them had any problems with the turbochargers. The turbos on all these models are probably the single most robust, best engineered, and tested components. I don't think Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, and Bentley would allow turbochargers or superchargers on their engines if there was any chance they would fail prematurely or over stress the engine. Alternatively, virtually every diesel engine sold in North America is turbocharged.

    Guys... I have always enjoyed your reviews. Please consider not getting so technical with the graphs/data. I suspect many of us simply prefer BLUF and KISS (Bottom Line Up Front and Keep It Simple S**).

    Although the G70 Genisis is a good looking car, runs strong, etc., they are not known for long-term reliability. I would go with a Camry XSE or a Lexus IS350 instead.

      2025 Is a new model. How can you have an opinion on reliability when the car is completely new? All cars can reach up to 8 years old before any major problems and even 10 if you maintain them on time.

    I sold my 2022 G70 3.3t awd a week ago after owning it for less than 2 years, the car is quick but it burns a lot of gas and it is not reliable, if you put it in sport+ and drive it hard the car will go in limp mode while you are driving it which can be very dangerous! There are several recalls on the car check it out before you buy it, and the resale on the car is very bad too. I will ever buy a Hyundai vehicle again.

      Burns gas, yes. Limp mode is rare and hardly dangerous..
