I agree. I think the front looked really generic on the pre-refresh G70. I really love the slightly outrageous grill on the new one, especially with no front plate on it. Prefer the refresh headlights also. The only thing I don't care for is the black plastic diffuser out back. I don't think it looks especially premium. But overall, I'm happy with the styling. One commenter said the pre-refresh looks like some generic sedan out of Grand Theft Auto.
It's strange the US doesn't get the full digital cluster. Other markets have had it since 2018. Also, you can see in the video, the V6 had the napa leather package. That pattern on the 2.5T was the one used for the regular leather. Just LOVE this car! Still a good value and a great driving car!
If they aren’t including the fully digital 3d dash from the other models then it’s way less of a value than it used to be. Total cop out move by Genesis.
I think the reason the new Genesis design language on this vehicle looks a bit "off" because it wasn't designed from the ground up with the new language. The side/main body is still the old design lines, so it doesn't look as cohesive as the other models.
@@bigden2755 Right but you can't get RWD on any model as far as I'm aware plus the base trim there is significantly better equipped than the one in the USDM.
Genuinely confused by the 0-60 time of this G70 2.5T. Caranddriver tested an AWD G80 2.5T and measured a 5.5 sec run. That vehicle weighs several hundred lbs more than the G70. Thoughts?
@@tommygeary1931 the rollout was before 2019.. they have omitted that since then which includes their G80 test. .. Go check it out you will see the note in the test data.
@ch6inre6ction11 .. it could be a myriad of things but these cars should be quicker in the RWD models and I don't know why these testers are always grabbing these AWD because it hinders acceleration for this brand and most others .. these don't have the ability of the German AWD systems which help with acceleration.
From 2019-2021, you could get a loaded base engine model, only things missing were the Brembo brakes and adaptive suspension (and power trunk for 20-21 models). Price was also fantastic, just above $40K fully loaded, but now $50K and under equipped, and even on the V6 no more heated rear seats and adaptive headlights, value isn’t what it used to be. I would have to agree, the 2019-21 models looked better on the outside too, though I can appreciate the full LED exterior lights.
didn’t he say they don’t have a claimed 0-60 for this one yet? They claim a 5.9 second 0-60 in the 2.0T so maybe he just didn’t update it since they didn’t claim one yet
@@chrisa9857 My 2.0t is right around the 6 second mark but i’m near sea level and he’s at altitude in this vid. Also with the engineering of these cars you can’t spoil up boost before launch like you can in audi’s or bmw’s. You can rev but there’s no boost until a second after you hit the pedal. If they fixed that it would quickly drop off a couple tenth of seconds off the 0-60 times
For some reason unknown to me, the design language for Genesis is off on the front end of this model. Just my opinion. I mean, its okay, but visually it just doesn't seem settled. I don't know what it is...
It's because it's not an all new model but rather a refresh using the newer design language on the front/rear while the side profile is still the old design language. It's incongruent.
@porfiriato84 That's not even a 4 door. How you going to "c'mon" me and throw me a car that's not even in the same segment as the g70 lol. Mildly luxury? It has lexicon audio which only can be found in Rolls Royce and no other brands.

I think the current design is spot on. It’s unique and modern without looking like it’s trying too hard or looking weird for the sake of attempting to be different. It’s distinctively genesis and communicates a familial design language. This car had few downsides tbh, i had one for teo weeks and i loved it! If they give it a full digital instrument cluster it would be 100%, but im expecting big upgrades for the next generation, They typically listen to what buyers want.
It still looks great Sorry to all the “Genesis is Hyundai junk” commenters who failed miserably as usual to convince us that they’re poorly made products when facts show otherwise
I have a buddy that had a 2.0t G70 and now a 2.5t GV80, and has had zero issues. Also, now that they now have dedicated Genesis dealerships with no Hyundai attachment dealer, the sales and service experience is now much better.
The engine is a bit underwhelming. 300hp/311lb-ft 0-60 5.9s. Competes directly with Cadillac CT4-V (non Blackwing) on price which gives you 325hp/380lb-ft 0-60 4.8s. But if you don't care about that, the Genesis does have a nicer interior.
I get the feeling that Genesis invests substantially more into the G80 than the G70. Which, duh, it’s a more expensive vehicle - but some of the cost cutting (or outdatedness) of this car is a bit surprising.
Spot on review. Bought a 24 2.5T sport prestige in Makalu grey - black seat & red stitching. Stg wheel just perfect, yes flat bottom would be nice. Feels solid and well built. Some nice touches like the passenger seat control in easy reach of the driver. So glad Genesis still making sport sedans. Stinger would have been my first choice if still around last month. One perk. Comes with concierge service - they pick up the car at your home/work and leave a loaner. Then afterwards return the car and pick up the loaner. Yes the back seat tight, so is the Lexus IS. This could have been a sharp coupe if Genesis ever made one. I prefer coupes as it’s just me & the misses. Oh and bought a AAwireless from Amazon which I stuck (dbl sided tape) off on the side and recommend.
I’d buy one of these, if I were in the market. Only sat in one in dealership, but really liked it. Love the exterior styling. Regarding quality, our experience with our Hyundai Palisade has been top notch (41k miles, 3.5 years), so not at all concerned. People dismissing Hyundai/Genesis quality haven’t owned one in recent years. Now the dealership experience… it’s not yet at the level of a Honda dealership experience (I’m being a little polite here).
I own one and love it but you’re not wrong about the dealership experience fortunately I haven’t had to go back since buying it and I have 40k miles on it.
Agreed. Everyone dismissing Hyundai has never bought one and just says they are junk whenever they get a chance. It's like a your mom joke at this point. A silly and dated response
The same is true with my Telluride. I love it and the quality is fantastic. But, like Hyundai, the dealer experience is lacking, especially at the price point of the SX Telluride.
Loaded 2024 G70 3.3T AWD with white exterior and black interior is $57,700 including destination. Loaded 2024 M340i AWD with white exterior and black interior is $70,620 including destination. Base model 2024 M340i RWD with NO options is $58,595 with destination. Still a great deal. Comes with the long warranty and will be much less expensive to own long term
For my money. I’d take this. The m340i is off the table because it’s rwd for that price. You’ll get no where in the winter with that. And 13g more for the awd bmw is a no because I wouldn’t have 13g more. Lol
Same question I have. I test drove both. The TLX looks and feels bigger but versatile meaning very comfy and sporty. The g70 driving dynamics are a bit sportier than the TLX and comfy as well. It also now has more HP than the TLX if that matters to you. Dealership experience? I’ll go Acura/Honda all the way.
3 series?? Lol who drives a 3 series unless it's an M line. M320i is garbage compared to their 2.5t g70. M340i isn't necessarily a bargain buy also, it's $60k for base and upwards $70k with full packages.
I’ve always liked these I like the pre face lift version better I’m not to crazy about the headlights a full digital display would be nice but I think there kinda getting out of hand with these big ass screens just stuck on the dash but that’s what all the carmakers are doing
The shifter looks cheap and dated amd and are you kidding me about the dated odometer cluster!?!?! I can't believe they didn't go full digital when cars half the price are. That's like putting a 60 HZ display in a flagship cell phone
My 9 year old Luxury sedan has much better performance specs than this car. WTF, when will manufactures Stop pushing these outdated powertrains?!! Beautiful car with an Outdated powertrain. Why are they holding back on modern technology?
I very slightly prefer the new generation over the pre-refresh. Both look awesome, but I'm a sucker for the the split headlight design and love that they took the license place holder off the the trunk area and put it lower near the bumper.
They've been selling Genesis cars since 2008, not 2017. Hyundai didn't make it a "stand alone" brand until 2017 because of the recession that was going on in the late 2000's. The Genesis coupe, sedan and a crossover (Veracruz) were very good at launch.
Glad they changed the engine but seriously ill comment on every video the same way lol. But come on $50k and you can't even get a big ass infotainment screen or even a fully digital dash??? Come on what happened to luxury brands? Like this is literally the LUXURY brand of Hyundai. Actual Hyundais look better inside than this lol xD
The G70 is a handsome car. As far as reliability goes, that's a totally other story, and it's not with a nice ending. If you doubters don't believe me about its poor reliability, check out Consumer Reports ratings....pretty bad. Like Chrysler / Mercedes bad, so forget it!
I own a 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T which I purchased April 2019. Currently over 127k. Other than replacing two sets of tires and replace rear brakes, no issues. I don't Baby My Baby! One thing that I find funny, are people and their wish list. I wish this car had this, I wish it had that! Most wish list people are not even in the market to purchase a new vehicle 😂😂😂
not everyone (and by everyone I mean easily 90% of your viewers) cares about sports features of the car. We want to hear more about the comfort levels while driving, wheel and tire noises while driving, wind noises, cabin noises, quietness levels.
Seriously, still no fully digital dash for the refresh in NA? That's unacceptable for a luxury car. Guess I'll keep my current Hyundai and wait for an Ioniq 6N or a fully electric G70.
I'm hoping the actual 0-60 is around 5 seconds flat. I say that because the Sonata Nline and K5 GT can do 0-60 in 5 seconds flat with a 290hp and 311lb ft version of this engine along with a DCT. They also weigh about 3500-3600lbs. I imagine the G70 2.5T weighs around 200-300lbs more, but I assume the AWD/RWD traction would help it launch harder. I'll be a bit disappointed if the car does anything more than 5.5 seconds when caranddriver or motortrend tests it. I know not everything is numbers, but this engine always impresses in any car its put in. Everything from a 3500lb FWD sedan to a 4900lb AWD luxury SUV, the engine provides a good amount of power and decent MPG close to the European cars, unlike the larger V6 engines. It's also port and direct injection which is nice. Caranddriver got 0-60 in 5.6 sec and 1/4-Mile in 14.1 sec @ 99mph for the GV80 that weighs 500lbs more than a G70 AWD. I expect good numbers from the G70 2.5T
Does the 2.5t actually get the LSD? The new engine would be compelling if it did because @savagegeese showed the open diff rwd just spin the inside wheel. Neither the prior 2.0 G70 or 2.5 stinger got the LSD. Stunning design imho.
Not sure why they didn't do 12-inch display for odometer as an optional package. To me that's the deal breaker as our other Hyundai vehicle has full digital version, and this makes the driving experience not consistent across the family.
I had been waiting a long time for reviews on this, considering purchase. Why it took Genesis until Feb. to get this minimal refresh on the road is hard to fathom. Glad I ran out of patience long ago and bought an AWD Ionic 5 as this car's acceleration seems not significantly better than with old 2 liter. Too thirsty as well compared to this engine in the Stinger and K5 GT probably due to the big wheels.
I’m probably in the minority that think this is the best looking of all of the Genesis vehicles. The curves of the design work better than the sharper lines on the other models. Also a bit disappointed that Genesis didn’t also swap the 3.3T V6 for the 3.5T V6
Perfect sub 50/60k car depending on engine choice. It looks great, there’s tech but not too much and it appears to drive well. A similar 4cyl Audi or BMW is gonna be over $50k. Even an equivalent Lexus ES is gonna be at or above $50k. Car prices aren’t what they used to be.
This is discontinued car after this model year I think. Therefore there should be no hard plastic on the door. It should be velvet and the price should be 12k off to reflect its a lame duck. It’s a pretty car but i think its finished.
I have a 2021 Genesis G70 Sport AWD. Fully loaded it was 51. Coming to the end of the lease in the coming months and debating if I go for a 2024 G70, or swap for the BMW M240i. I have 30k on my Genesis and it's been pretty decent. Only issues is the dark trim has a weird buildup on it from car washes and looks bad. I agree I like the exterior of the predesign as well, but the screen really dates the interior.
Still no full digital display (old analog gauges were better than this new half one) and now it’s $50,000 for a 4 cylinder and nearly $60,000 usd for a 3.3. That is insane! The entire point of genesis was value and now they don’t offer that anymore. I’d get a BMW for that price.
@@MikeJohnson-ej4ocI’d usually say the same thing but it’s a little different in this case. First of all, the non digital dash already looks crappy. Secondly, the digital display has been available in Korea since, idk, before the refresh.
@@MikeJohnson-ej4oc the gauges in the first gen were perfect. The ones in the new one are hideous and that’s all you can get. I would even take Hyundais display copy and pasted in there over this one.
bruh... this thing has less horsepower than a lawnmower. Lets not go throwing around words like "sports car" on everything that has an engine and 4 tires.
I think the refresh on the G70 looks worlds better than the older one.
nahh
I would have to disagree, the taillights are the best angle on the 22+ refresh, but front is more cohesive on the 2019-2021 models.
the older model just look gorgeous
Agree. The old one looks like a car from the 2010s. The new one looks like a 2020s car, which they are.
I agree. I think the front looked really generic on the pre-refresh G70. I really love the slightly outrageous grill on the new one, especially with no front plate on it. Prefer the refresh headlights also. The only thing I don't care for is the black plastic diffuser out back. I don't think it looks especially premium. But overall, I'm happy with the styling. One commenter said the pre-refresh looks like some generic sedan out of Grand Theft Auto.
It's strange the US doesn't get the full digital cluster. Other markets have had it since 2018. Also, you can see in the video, the V6 had the napa leather package. That pattern on the 2.5T was the one used for the regular leather. Just LOVE this car! Still a good value and a great driving car!
Dont want digital.
If they aren’t including the fully digital 3d dash from the other models then it’s way less of a value than it used to be. Total cop out move by Genesis.
Glad it surpassed the track test, but I am satisfied with the 4-cylinder to make it to the store and back. I really like my genesis

Different segment... Sonata is FWD vs G70 RWD or AWD that is different in terms of driving dynamics. And materials of each are way more different
Nice colour but looks like a bubble, pre refreshed looks better
This or the Acura TLX ?🤔
Same question I have. I test drove both. The TLX looks and feels bigger but versatile meaning very comfy and sporty.
The g70 driving dynamics are a bit sportier than the TLX and comfy as well. It also now has more HP than the TLX if that matters to you.
Dealership experience? I’ll go Acura/Honda all the way.
TLX
A spec vs 2.5? Acura . Type S or top trim V6 G70 ? Genesis
Why tf would anyone pick this over a 3 series
I am 😄
The warranty might be a selling point
3 series?? Lol who drives a 3 series unless it's an M line. M320i is garbage compared to their 2.5t g70. M340i isn't necessarily a bargain buy also, it's $60k for base and upwards $70k with full packages.
I’ve always liked these I like the pre face lift version better I’m not to crazy about the headlights a full digital display would be nice but I think there kinda getting out of hand with these big ass screens just stuck on the dash but that’s what all the carmakers are doing
M340 it is lol
3:02 Kawaahahaha!!! Sounds like the song down with the sickness by rock band Disturbed
The shifter looks cheap and dated amd and are you kidding me about the dated odometer cluster!?!?! I can't believe they didn't go full digital when cars half the price are. That's like putting a 60 HZ display in a flagship cell phone
My 9 year old Luxury sedan has much better performance specs than this car. WTF, when will manufactures Stop pushing these outdated powertrains?!! Beautiful car with an Outdated powertrain. Why are they holding back on modern technology?
My 2011 Infiniti G37 non turbo can do 0-60 in 5.3 sec. It was $35k new loaded.
.... and ??
@@bigden2755 genesis sucks.
@@bigden2755 genesis is POS.
Refreshed front and rear look way better
Dear Genesis,
Please give us the G70 Shooting Brake.
Sincerely, the US Market
It's not coming here dude.
@@porfiriato84 obviously.
Bentley inspired blue 😂
I very slightly prefer the new generation over the pre-refresh. Both look awesome, but I'm a sucker for the the split headlight design and love that they took the license place holder off the the trunk area and put it lower near the bumper.
C&D got 5.8 seconds 0-60 in the old 2.0T. No way is that 300 hp/311 ft lb 2.5 that slow. I would think it would be hitting in lower 5 seconds.
K5 can whipped that G70 for less money.
I like the older look better
When I was younger 0 to 60 seemed important. Now that I am 82 I am more concerned with 60 to100.
Every screen looks small when it’s not 32 inches of distraction 😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Marvelous content with my favorite vehicle.
What is the point of a car having a wireless phone charger if it requires a wired connection to use CarPlay or Android Auto? 🤦🏽♂️
They've been selling Genesis cars since 2008, not 2017. Hyundai didn't make it a "stand alone" brand until 2017 because of the recession that was going on in the late 2000's. The Genesis coupe, sedan and a crossover (Veracruz) were very good at launch.
I previously preferred the pre-refresh model, but when i saw a new one in person i decided i liked the update, especially the interior
Glad they changed the engine but seriously ill comment on every video the same way lol. But come on $50k and you can't even get a big ass infotainment screen or even a fully digital dash??? Come on what happened to luxury brands? Like this is literally the LUXURY brand of Hyundai. Actual Hyundais look better inside than this lol xD
Maybe soon, I will buy this as my daily sedan.
Dude you say that about every car on every car reviews video LMAO
How many cars will you buy?? 😂😂
@@porfiriato84A lot, Just dreaming too
The G70 is a handsome car. As far as reliability goes, that's a totally other story, and it's not with a nice ending. If you doubters don't believe me about its poor reliability, check out Consumer Reports ratings....pretty bad. Like Chrysler / Mercedes bad, so forget it!
Copy paste bot
I love this car because i own the the V6 AWD SP version. I wish handling were like an BMW. The back seat room is totally cramped.
I own a 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T which I purchased April 2019.
Currently over 127k. Other than replacing two sets of tires and replace rear brakes, no issues.
I don't Baby My Baby!
One thing that I find funny, are people and their wish list.
I wish this car had this, I wish it had that!
Most wish list people are not even in the market to purchase a new vehicle 😂😂😂
Do you always put premium fuel in it and if not Any issues
I agree with your last sentence! It's those exact people with wish lists or whining about anything that can't even afford said car.
For the price, its simply a smarter decision to get a slightly used V6 model for around 42K or even less.
not everyone (and by everyone I mean easily 90% of your viewers) cares about sports features of the car. We want to hear more about the comfort levels while driving, wheel and tire noises while driving, wind noises, cabin noises, quietness levels.
Okay Nostradamus
Seriously, still no fully digital dash for the refresh in NA? That's unacceptable for a luxury car. Guess I'll keep my current Hyundai and wait for an Ioniq 6N or a fully electric G70.
whats unacceptable is digital displays being shoved into every car.
$50k for a four banger that'll be burning oil before it reaches 100k miles.
It's interesting that a base Jetta 1.5t is one second slower that this . Not bad eh ?
Dam should I get the 2.5 or 3.3? I don’t think the 0-60 will be much of a difference.
Definitely love the look of this model with the big superman grille
And slower than a Subaru outback wilderness to 60.
I'm hoping the actual 0-60 is around 5 seconds flat.
I say that because the Sonata Nline and K5 GT can do 0-60 in 5 seconds flat with a 290hp and 311lb ft version of this engine along with a DCT. They also weigh about 3500-3600lbs. I imagine the G70 2.5T weighs around 200-300lbs more, but I assume the AWD/RWD traction would help it launch harder.
I'll be a bit disappointed if the car does anything more than 5.5 seconds when caranddriver or motortrend tests it. I know not everything is numbers, but this engine always impresses in any car its put in. Everything from a 3500lb FWD sedan to a 4900lb AWD luxury SUV, the engine provides a good amount of power and decent MPG close to the European cars, unlike the larger V6 engines. It's also port and direct injection which is nice.
Caranddriver got 0-60 in 5.6 sec and 1/4-Mile in 14.1 sec @ 99mph for the GV80 that weighs 500lbs more than a G70 AWD. I expect good numbers from the G70 2.5T
I would definitely buy 2-3 years used and let someone else take the depreciation hit.
Why do you say metallic fleck? It’s a FLAKE
The new Camry is a much better looking sedan than G70.
Very much interested in the option for the G70 Hybrid. Not fully electric.
Love my G7022, ready for a G70 Hybrid
Does the 2.5t actually get the LSD? The new engine would be compelling if it did because @savagegeese showed the open diff rwd just spin the inside wheel. Neither the prior 2.0 G70 or 2.5 stinger got the LSD. Stunning design imho.
From the side, it looks identical to a 2019 Buick Regal
Not sure why they didn't do 12-inch display for odometer as an optional package. To me that's the deal breaker as our other Hyundai vehicle has full digital version, and this makes the driving experience not consistent across the family.
No comparison the new body style is beautiful.
I had been waiting a long time for reviews on this, considering purchase. Why it took Genesis until Feb. to get this minimal refresh on the road is hard to fathom.
Glad I ran out of patience long ago and bought an AWD Ionic 5 as this car's acceleration seems not significantly better than with old 2 liter. Too thirsty as well compared to this engine in the Stinger and K5 GT probably due to the big wheels.
I’m probably in the minority that think this is the best looking of all of the Genesis vehicles. The curves of the design work better than the sharper lines on the other models. Also a bit disappointed that Genesis didn’t also swap the 3.3T V6 for the 3.5T V6
Perfect sub 50/60k car depending on engine choice. It looks great, there’s tech but not too much and it appears to drive well.
A similar 4cyl Audi or BMW is gonna be over $50k. Even an equivalent Lexus ES is gonna be at or above $50k. Car prices aren’t what they used to be.
Hmmmm. I think I like the previous generation's styling more.
This is discontinued car after this model year I think. Therefore there should be no hard plastic on the door. It should be velvet and the price should be 12k off to reflect its a lame duck. It’s a pretty car but i think its finished.
Stop thinking. It doesn't work .... SMH
I have a 2021 Genesis G70 Sport AWD. Fully loaded it was 51. Coming to the end of the lease in the coming months and debating if I go for a 2024 G70, or swap for the BMW M240i. I have 30k on my Genesis and it's been pretty decent. Only issues is the dark trim has a weird buildup on it from car washes and looks bad. I agree I like the exterior of the predesign as well, but the screen really dates the interior.
You can turn the stability control and traction control all the way off, though you probably won't want to very often.
doesn't the Integra Type-S have more HP? feels like the same segment
Still no full digital display (old analog gauges were better than this new half one) and now it’s $50,000 for a 4 cylinder and nearly $60,000 usd for a 3.3. That is insane! The entire point of genesis was value and now they don’t offer that anymore. I’d get a BMW for that price.
Not everyone wants a digital display with a shitty bezel that will looks outdated a few years down the line.
@@MikeJohnson-ej4ocI’d usually say the same thing but it’s a little different in this case. First of all, the non digital dash already looks crappy. Secondly, the digital display has been available in Korea since, idk, before the refresh.
It is a value for this package on a bmw will be close to 60k. No power steering and no ventilated seats.
@@MikeJohnson-ej4oc the gauges in the first gen were perfect. The ones in the new one are hideous and that’s all you can get. I would even take Hyundais display copy and pasted in there over this one.
@@kennethsmith6899 $2,000 more for a BMW with a B58 and zf 8 speed? I’d definitely take that instead then.
Just makes me happy I still have my stinger 2.5T fully loaded.. it was around 35k. The price of this is crazy.
Pretty sure Genesis does offer a digital Camaro mirror, just not the G70
I still like sedans! 👍🏽
People gonna complain that it doesn't have digital dash, to having great value for money outweighs any little screen
Your camera doesn’t do well with cars with dark interiors
bruh... this thing has less horsepower than a lawnmower. Lets not go throwing around words like "sports car" on everything that has an engine and 4 tires.
So, your lawnmower has 300 HP ???? How's the gas mileage ??
