The 2023 Genesis GV70 Electrified Is A Near Perfect Blend Of Luxury, Speed, & Tech
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- When the excellent #GenesisGV70 came to market about two years ago, it was one of the best compact luxury SUV's in the segment and #Genesis has made it even better by going electric, with the 2023 #GV70Electrified! Despite the confusing name, the company has made this completely #Electric and it uses the same electric motors and battery from the #GV60Performance, which means up to 483 HP in Boost mode and slightly more range at 236 miles. Although the #ElectricGV70 could use more range, it does have the ability to charge from 10-80% in just 18 mins, making it one the quickest charging EV's on the market today.

And there are people who still claim Tesla is a luxury brand. What a joke.
I owned Genesis G70 before I sold it at about 4000 miles due to poor gas miles and inconsistent acceleration. Test drove ioniq 5. I did not feel like seat in an electric car, and too expensive, IMO.
I went for Tesla 3! The acceleration is mind-blowing. One-pedal driving is an excellent idea. Software updates over the air and charging network are great and convenient.
Material quality might not be compared to GV70 E for sure, but I think the reason for Tesla getting popular is the driving experience. It is not only fun to drive, but it also makes you feel like you are actually in an electric vehicle!
@@chrisnguyen11182He's just a hater and a scum man.
Well they’re certainly priced like it!
I bought one back in early April. It wasn't out on the dealership lot. I asked when they were arriving and they said they had one somewhere in the back. There was no markup but there were a couple of unnecessary dealer added options. They knocked a couple hundred off those because I complained. I got the Advanced trim. Same car with fewer bells and whistles but certainly nice enough and about $10k less than the top spec. Overall, love the car. Smooth, comfortable, fast. Complaints are few: understeer, cramped rear seating, and only boring colors available. I have yet to see another one on the road.
Was this your first EV and were you worried about finding charging stations? I am really thinking about a EV next but there aren’t many public chargers in my city, and with road trips I would have to map it out based on chargers. 🙄
@@WD.909I live in a big city with lots of chargers. I have one at home, and free charging at work. I have others cars as a backup. For me it's not an issue.
@@WD.909 how often do you take road trips? I only go far out a few times per year. I can take my older gasoline car when I decide to go far out, but as a daily driver EV works great.
@@00_UU A few times a year but would like it to be more frequent
If that 0-60 time is correct, it’s crazy how that much weight can reach 60 so quickly
I agree with you about the outlet covers, they also collect water while dangling, if you have it charging and it's raining out.
Thanks for the review, can't wait to receive mine this Thursday!
Genesis as always never fails to impress us, both in performance and luxury
@Aced It has been an uphill battle to shed the “it is still Hyundai” moniker in the luxury world. That said, I keep seeing more and more on the roads. So, they are slowing growing in the market, despite being priced slightly above Lexus, Acura and Infiniti.
Say what you will, Genesis’ interiors a definitely on par with the Europeans.
@@sammyg4806 agreed 100 percent.
They never fail to impress me with how many cars they can recall in a given period of time.
@@Mr21scott to be fair, I own Lexus 2011 IS, it was recalled because of dubious interior quality their soft touch injection model plastic. The dash was eating itself out after a few years.
Many manufacturers have issues with recalls .
@@sammyg4806 That's ridiculous. Your problem with your dash is not the same thing as recalling literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands of cars for possible engine fires.
The problem with common sense is that it is not common enough anymore.
I wonder what range you can really squeeze out. I have a G80 EV which is rated for 284mi and in good weather I've achieved 322mi of range
I get 200 to 260 depending on how I'm driving my GV70. I have a G80 loaner today and it's showing 230 miles with 70% charge
New record 345
345. Yeah ok. 😅😅😅😅
@@wazgoodjj yes, 345. What's so funny?
Same here, wonder how much range it will lose in the winter (I’ve only had it for 2 months)
Hyundai and Genesis is popular all over. That's why in few years they're going to outsell Lexus and Toyotas.
Not happening. Hyundai and Genesis have been superior to Toyota and Lexus counterparts for years (I have a 2009 Genesis that still runs like a dream at 315,000 miles / 500,000 km), but people who buy Toyota/Lexus do NOT cross-shop, they just match their budget and needs to whatever Toyota makes and that's it. There is a reason why the Lexus RX, which is no more than a jacked-up Camry wagon at double the price, is the best-selling luxury SUV.
And yes, both companies have made their share of lemons - whether the tinderbox Theta II engines from Hyundai or the gasket-eating V6's in the Lexus GS. And before low-end Hyundai/Kia models were known for being easy to steal with a few TikTok challenges, Toyota products had runaway acceleration issues.
And then there are products from other companies that either blow any equivalent from Toyota and Hyundai out of the water (i.e. Honda Accord) or do not have a Toyota or Hyundai equivalent (i.e. Mazda Miata). But then neither Honda nor Mazda make luxury models...
@@AllyMcLesbian In Australia if you look at the new car sales, Hyundai & Kia are growing nearly every month while Toyota is shrinking. Genesis is still a long way behind Lexus but we also don't get much supply here. I can definitely see Hyundai/Kia overtaking Toyota in the electric age and Genesis growing decently too if they can build more cars
kia and hyundai are garbage
I agree, Toyota really needs to up their game in the tech and style department to stay ahead
@c3vzn Agreed with the short supply in Australia. The wait is 14 months for my GV70 3.5T. Eventually forgot the thing was ever ordered
It would be interesting to see the 0-60 times in all three modes. _"Eco", "normal"_ and _"sport"_ and would the boost button actually work in _"eco"_ mode?
But as an SUV, it's damn well stylish and very well equipped.
Fine review of a terrific mini ute. I remain baffled that Teslas, with their bland styling, spartan interiors, and quality issues, are placed in the luxury category.
Outstanding EV offering from Genesis. I would absolutely get this over a Tesla or MB. Sure, I'd like more range, but that is about the only shortcoming that I can see with this.
Nice review, Sofyan! Mine should be arriving this week! Yuyuni White with black interior. Prestige trim. Will be trading in my GV70 3.5T.
When my G80 EV lease is up, this will be my next, UNLESS the G90 EV is out by then which it should be by 2026.
how do you even charge these things on road trips?
Looks great……….needs more color choices
Beautiful car!!!
**Side Note: Can everyone stop portraying the EV tax credit as a discount off the total cost of the car. Dealerships are “tricking” buyers into thinking they will get this money back. Anyone who has read the actual details of the tax credits, knows that it specifically states that the tax credit is a credit toward any owed taxes at the end of the year, and the difference will not be reimbursed to the individual.
If you owe $1000 at the end of the year, you will owe $0 but will not get the difference as a refund.
Disclaimer: the new EV tax credit will be able to be taken off directly from MSRP starting January 1, 2024.
*** if you pay over $7500 in taxes every year get an EV now.
If you get a refund every year or pay less than $1000 each year wait until January to buy an EV
Great point. It is only worth it to people who will be expecting a refund of over 7,500 dollars next year. It is much better to wait until 2024, considering it is just 6 months left.
I don’t think it’s that easy next year. You will end up owing more in taxes if you’re not paying atleast 7500 in taxes.
Bro if he starts another video saying “When it comes to” then Im personally gonna show him a compilation of the worst door noises known to man
it's nice, but them charging 20k more than the base gv70 is insane
Overpriced and unreliable
@@DABardx genesis is one of most reliable brands out there. pricing is in line with german competitors.
@@joec.5009 we still don't know how they hold up long term such as 100k miles
@@joec.5009 kia and hyundai are garbage
@@joec.5009 how would you know if you’ve never owned one? You can’t simply go by shit you read or watch on UA-cam! I owned a GV80 Prestige for a year and it was the worst vehicle and dealership experience we have ever had. An engine that ran poorly in frigid temps, an hvac system that stopped working in the dead of winter, a transmission that would intermittently decide when it would go into gear and an overcrowded Hyundai dealership that gave dreadful service. You could say maybe my Genesis was a one-off for the problems…. but the dealership had 8 other cars with the same problems sitting in their shop! After a month and a half of no heat in the dead of winter, I told them they could have their garbage back.
Great on paper (and I am a big fan of the Genesis brand and a longtime owner), but I am not sure if I want to take a risk with the atrocious quality control at Hyundai's Alabama plant.
Anything made in Ametica is questionable. I owned a 2009 Tacoma that didn't last 4 years, without getting the frame replaced.
Too many damn red necks in Alabama!
@@doubledown8229 No Tacoma ever had its "frame" replaced within 4 years, unless its owner trashed it.
@@Mr21scott You are wrong. Toyota had a $3B (That's Billion with a capital B) recall/settlement over premature rust-out of 2005-2010 Tacoma frames.
@@ackattacker I had an early 2000’s Tacoma that I drove for 250k miles. It was still going strong when I sold it; I couldn’t bear the rusting paint job so got rid of it. Haven’t bought a Toyota since because of that lousy paint job, which Toyota never recalled or admitted to.
i wish there is abit more ride,NVH,Refinement nd handling segment rather than too much focus on 0-100...
I hope they will improve the EV range when they refresh the Electrified GV70 to match the recently unveiled refreshed gas version of the GV70
As always, “a nice solid sounding Thunk.” 🤣😆😂
Pretty pricey for that range
Nah you can do so much worse than this
and what is not pricey nowadays? there isn't much on the market that you can say " oh wow , that's such a good deal"...those days are looong over
@@nabillarif Chevrolet Equinox EV is going to be "wow, such a good deal" considering 7,500 tax rebate and over 300 miles of range.
Another great review! Thanks!
Nice car but very optimistic pricing.
Looks amazing, I went to review the details and this has about everything I want...and then I see that it doesn't support Apple Carplay. I honestly can't tell you how frustrating this is. Cadillac did the same thing with the Lyriq. I can't believe I'm making a decision that will cost me $80,000 and I'm saying no because of Carplay. Why.
I am wondering if you have the Canadian model. I have the US model and it came with USB-C ports, not USB-A ports. Also, in the Canadian model, the door behind the metal inlay also has ambient lighting. My American one does not,,,
I am not sure I would consider the Model Y "premium" if they made and Electric Highlander or Pathfinder it would barely compete with those for interior quality and features.
My understanding is that this car does NOT qualify for any part of the tax credit as of March 2023. So, you may want to make a correction on that in your video.
Genesis is the only Asian brand that got luxury and reliability right. Congrats to them.
Lexus.
@@CrossCuntyRic lexus uses leftover toyota parts nowdays. quality is horrible. it's not the same lexus from the past. shame.
@@joec.5009 do you have experience with these new models?
Alabama doesn't sound very asian
kia and hyundai are garbage
I honestly dk why they made the screen a touch display when it's mounted so far away
Every reviewer like the "Boost" button.
It appears to be a phenomenal car with subpar electric range
284mi is fine, but mostb other european brands have more, i get were youre coming from with the range,
Does it not come to a complete stop with one pedal driving? It would be a non starter for me.
Tesla Y does, but I hate it’s looks.
I prefer the look of the RZ and from some of the reviews the RZ is a "smoother" BEV, but this beats the RZ in every other aspects.
Every ev is smooth lol
Only good looking Lexus is the LC500, actually the most beautiful car. Everything else Lexus is ugly.
I just want to know what I'm doing wrong. I had mine charged to 100% when I left Orlando to get home ~180 miles. I was watching the expected range and even though there was about a 5 mile difference between my distance left and expected range. However, I still felt more comfortable to stop for 10 minutes to make sure I had enough charge to get home. I was driving in ECO mode, it was in the 90's outside I had the a/c set on auto and circulating at 71 degrees, and I was cruising at about 79 MPH on the highway. What can I do to extend the range and at least be able to make it home "comfortably" from 180 miles away?
slow down some, speed above 65 kills range. raise AC temp to 74 on recirculate
Naveeen Alert!!! 😂😂 Think this car and its brand is good, but I don't buy wow factors. I buy investments. Great to lease and that's about it.
Great review Redline!! You made Naveen proud 😂
Hate to burst your bubble. No car is an investment unless your talking about very select view super cars and vintage cars.
@@JohnLee-db9zt 😂 ok
not the model Y but EQB if that makes sense
We bought one 5-10-23, drove it for 4 days and in the morning car would not start. Could not reverse, drive, or but on neutral to get out of our driveway to get our other non EV out if garage. Still in the shop no news on what's wrong with it, "corporate engineering" working on it. The car is beautiful but concerned with it being 1st generation EV.
Sorry to hear that. I've had zero issues with mine.
What's the reliability track record on these?
It’s called go research!
It's called stop trolling like a sick dog.
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 kia and hyundai are garbage
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 hit a nerve did I? I don't have anything against Kia. Just curious
@@bradIeyscarreviews i reported your fake page slow bus.
It needs to be more competitive otherwise it’s sales will be low
it has the best fit and finish, interior design, and the best ride quality. so it does have a merit.
@@joec.5009 kia and hyundai are garbage
I don't care about the 0 to 60, and just want a solid car with good reliability and simplicity. No EVs.
Does he have a script? How does he just talk non-stop like that without any pauses
English is natural to him and he really studies the cars he drives. That’s why i like his reviews alot
It qualify for the $7,500 tax credit, or only $3,750?
why people from the USA compares all the time Genesis with Lexus? they are not in the same luxury and price class, why Americans don´t understand this?
Genesis is a direct competitor to Lexus in the US. Who do you think Genesis competes with here? BMW?
@@00_UU Lexus is mostly a fancy Toyota, with FWD Toyota chassis and engine´s, Genesis has RWD based chassis like the other luxury brands and they have their own engine´s and they have more luxury inside and a higher price like the European luxury brands. I think that normal people can see it.
Great car never EVER EV. How fast does the gas model go from 0 to 60 ! 😊
😂- “I don’t like these covers, they’re inelegant…”. Wtf 🤔🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️😂🤣😆. No One Sees Them!!
I do not like to see yet another Carplay screen with the low res icons. Please see the car screen We would be paying for.
i don't get why you put a grille in the front for EV's...companies have a chance to do something different with the front bumper but they just go back to add fake grilles...
Because it’s literally just the gas version bolted to a battery instead of an engine.
Gv70 wish it was plugin hybrid instead
The genesis gv70 ev is nice and I do like it. But the Tesla model Y gets better range. If the Genesis gv70 ev got the equivalency mileage range.
of a Tesla model Y I would buy one
Well hopefully it’s better than the other Hyundai’s & Genesis models with their horrible transmission issues!!😡.
and overall ugly look.
Good lucky finding fast charging. That is why Tesla is the Ev leader
First 'made in USA' Genesis.
Dream car
kia and hyundai are garbage
What happens when all these electric cars need new parts or service, im sorry but im not rich enough to shed 10’s and thousands to service a car. The future is here and i cant afford it😂
Ever think of redoing your intro? Seems too intense tbh
You're wrong on the 7500 tax credit. It does not qualify, please update your video
I got the 7500 credit when I bought it
@none1232 it's changed since a few months ago
Any interior but black is going to show stains
Y all luxury suvs comes with low range capabilities
EV are supposed to be for gas saving what to do with extra torque or power when one can’t drive fast any ways
Like to see a sun roof.
It has a full sunroof that that - unlike other EVs - you can cover up AND open!
Tesla Model Y Performance beat the GV 70 in so many categories. Price, weight, range and 0-60 time.
But they won't last longer than the Genesis that i know for a fact.
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 how long should it last? Model Y will easily last 200k miles on its original battery.
Gv70 over tesla for me
I agree. Better on paper. The G70 looks better and has a nicer interior though, imho. I got it instead of the Y because it has switches and knobs and gauges in front of you. You don't have to do everything through menus in a screen that's off to the side. Also in my area, everyone has a Tesla. So I wanted something different and special.
@@mattd1201 just can’t get past terrible range figure.
How do they sell these cars with such bad names.
Rip rz450e. Genesis is the real deal
Soon lexus won’t even be a thing anymore because of how good genesis simply is and that’s a fact
😂😂 You got issues man, your proof lexus is doing good. You wouldn't hate this much on Nissan. Stop driving toyota products and maybe someone might actually believe you. Good grief
I hate Lexus but Lexus Is a massive company. They will never go under
Genesis is doing well. They have a great future ahead of them.
I disagree. If car buyers did their homework and actually knew what they were buying, then Lexus wouldn't stand a chance. But people who buy Lexus and Toyota products do NOT function that way - they will not even cross-shop, they will simply pick whatever model from the Toyota umbrella that fits their needs and budget, and simply buy that. There is a reason why the Lexus ES and RX continue to be the best-selling luxury sedan and SUV respectively, even though they are nothing more than glorified Camrys at double the price. For my money, give me two normal Camrys any day - or better yet, give me two Sonatas or two Accords.
I agree about the RZ450e but I strongly disagree about Lexus not being a thing in the future
Car & Driver just posted 75 MPH range test... 190 miles.
For some, a non-starter.
236 Mike range? Genesis should be ashamed of themselves
Nah you want bad range? Look at the Lexus rz and all of a sudden the genesis looks better
@@naveenthemachine look at Cadillac Lyriq and all of a sudden Genesis is terrible.
The range is garbage, who really cares how fast it is.
95% of my driving is daily commute and errands. If I need a long range car for road trips, I own 3 other cars.
@@mattd1201 98% of people can't afford extra cars.
@@edf10000perhaps. But I'd wager that most people also don't drive more than 200 miles a day.
Genesis needs to make GV20 that's around $20k. These EVs are getting ridiculous with prices..
Hopefully it doesn't catch fire
Sofy, will you marry me ❤😍
Good review, but you go too fast.
Lame. Not the presenter, but Chinese made batteries. No need in the US. Scam.
Horrible pricing, insane dealer markup, terrible 236 mile range. It is much cheaper to buy Cadillac Lyriq that will also provide a much better battery with over 300 miles of range. People over-paying for this GV70 instead of getting a new Lyriq are literally having brain issues.
I bought one with no markup and the range is 270, not 230. Even if it was, I mostly drive to work where we have free charging. Drove it to Disneyland a couple times, they have free charging there too. It looks better than the weird looking Caddy, imho.
@@mattd1201 besides arguably weird looks, Caddy is better at everything, including 7,500 tax credit. I have free charging at work as well.
But I have owned 2 Caddy SUVs and they were both a reliability nightmare. Buying another would show brain damage.
@@cyclonesfan9169 but were they EVs built on Ultium platform? Probably not. I have a newer GM car and I love it bigly, no issues.
Do you have a 2024 lyriq? My pre order is still in pre production and others have been alerted there car is built but have no clue on delivery. I can go to a dealership tomorrow and pick up one of these and the real world tests by car and driver seems to indicated only about a 20 mile difference in range.

Sadly this channel has become very boring lately with all those soulless electric vehicles test. The majority are not interested in those vehicles but youtubers keep insisting in testing them and not traditional vehicles for the average consumer.
