@Nicholas Comaromi Yes, but getting ceramic coating makes it easier. I am not sure I would have gotten the matte if I had the choice again, but the car is still amazing.
@@gilly1577 If you get the $1500 Brunswick green on a 2.5T with Advanced package you can add pine grove green leather interior. For some reason it's not an option with the $500 Cardiff green.
Just ordered mine. Black with black interior. My observation on the test drive was how well the sound laminated glass kept the noise down for a small SUV on bigger rims. I found that generally adding the same equipment (HUD, limited-slip differential, adaptive driving features, Nappa leather, monoblock brakes, 360 camera, etc) the GV70 was 10-15% less expensive. The blind spot camera is great, the adaptive cruise was one of the best I test drove. The downside is that 375 HP isn't as powerful as it sounds, this is a balance between a smooth luxury ride and performance. The M40 or AMG GLC may be quicker but when you don't want to race this is a smoother ride, cheaper, better warranty. It's easy to see how the Genesis designers had previously been Bentley designers. Like all cars design preferences are personal, I personally loved the look, loved the ride, and it'll be nice to not be another X3, GLC, Q5 on the road.
Congrats,I have ordered one as well in Sydney. 3.5V6 with the sports and luxury package, mine is matte grey with red Nappa leather interior. It arrives in about 6 weeks, currently on a boat somewhere!!
This would 100% be my choice over any of its competitors within +/- $35k CAD once there are no longer any V8 super SUVs available that I’m currently enjoying while it lasts.
Brian - another FANTASTIC detailed review - Luv your reviews. Why you don't have more subs ... I just SMH. Hey all - I'm a guy who loves cars and puts a little effort to research and drive a handful of new ones/yr here in Vancouver, Canada. I know what's available for me in the Western Canada market. This GV70 is by far ... the BEST Value out there in this price pt. This Sport Plus trim level w/ the 3.5 L TT is so far superior to others in this segment at this price. Sure the GLC 63S & X3M 4.0 are much quicker, faster (if it didn't have a limiter) and the glorious sound from the engine & exhaust are the BEST in the biz but also are about $25-$35K more expensive. This GV70 will do 0-60 in about 4.9 seconds, sounds pretty good but really has knocked it out of the park with its looks, tech and luxury features and at that price pt. Excellent design Exterior & Interior choices. For the review it would've been cool to see some night shots/video. My wish list would be for cooled rear seats, a control button to raise the rear seats (from a down position) from the back, massaging front passenger seat, heated & cooled front cup holders, rubber strips in the rear cargo with the carpet (like the X6M has) and the 4.0 AMG TT engine like the GLC 63S has. Also, I don't know if it has an app but would love the option to cool down the car in summer & heat it up in winter before entering it.. PLUS a hybrid system (30 kms real world mileage) like the GLE top models has so I won't have to idle in park to work systems as the battery system would handle all that. Overall, its a FANTASTIC option in this segment and remember that the maintenance is included for 5 yrs:-) No... I'm not President of Genesis Canada just appreciate value. What I don't like about Genesis in the no haggle price on New vehicles. I can't even get floor mats at a discount. oh well... HAGO:-)
Love the colour, hate the black waffle patterned plastic and wish they could offer a carbon fiber finish option on the outside. Don't care much for the black chrome on the sport model. The steering wheel is gorgeous and personally would of wished that the infotaintment screen could retract out of sight for it is an eyesore with the stunning retro design of the dashboard. Also would of preferred a silver finish for the wheels instead of black.
We call it Medium SUV which is also what we call Audi Q5, Volvo XC-60 and BMW X3. Compact SUV are Audi Q3 and BMW X1 while sub-compact would be the Hyundai Kona, the Mazda CX-30 and so on. Genesis have a compact SUV releasing this year, but it's electric and called GV60 which is to compete with XC-40. I really hope Genesis release a mild hybrid version of the GV70 next year to improve the mileage. It's electric GV-70 competing with Model Y is not for everyone.
@@nickolastiguan They all have it but it's smaller and more subdued, and the regular vertical exhausts look a lot better than the round ones. www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Finf.news%2Fen%2Fauto%2F36cc394141c03d92bfa9831729516bdc.html&psig=AOvVaw3ZS4jnl5i5nndLCJp6NrCQ&ust=1625620056891000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAoQjRxqFwoTCND4peOgzfECFQAAAAAdAAAAABAM
Personally, for the sake of security, I prefer that only the driver's door unlocks with the proximity key. This is especially helpful for women living in big cities, and shopping in the evening at stores with large, poorly lit parking lots, or on dark residential streets.
I love it! Now the big question is would you buy one now or wait until next year and get the ev version? I feel like if you buy an ICE car today it’s just dated technology.
I've been looking into EVs, not to replace, but to supplement my fleet since no EV will able to tow 10k of tractor or do long trips without adding hours of time waiting for en route recharges any time soon. My conclusion is for an EV to serve the purpose of an only car it needs a stated range of 500 miles since you aren't supposed to charge to 100 or run too low, so should only use 80% of that and studies have shown AC reduces EV range by up to 17% and 35% for heating. Being generous and assuming only a 15% lose in range 500x.8x.85 =340 miles of real world actual range. 340 miles is the average useable range for most ICE vehicles. At the rate range has been increasing we probably won't get to the 500 mile mark for at least a decade and by then you will have already gotten rid of any ICE you buy today.
Was looking at & drove the Audi SQ5, BMW X3 40i and X3M comp. The Audi is solid & performance similar to the Genesis 3.5 (perhaps Genesis slightly more dynamic) BMW’s both models are more sporty and obviously the X3M is a beast. I have no intention of tracking these vehicles and the interior quality, infotainment and amenities are far superior in the Genesis.
@@EverydayReviews2022 that is fine, you are entitled to your opinion. However the fact remains the same that people who buy luxury vehicles do care about the brand name and prestige that is associated with European cars. A fancy dressed Hyundai is STILL a Hyundai and nobody considers it as a luxury vehicle. Check the used market and you see how terribly they depreciate compared to BMW and Mercs.A Casio watch will never ever be a Rolex or Omega replacement for a reason
I understand your point. I’ve owned 3 brand new BMWs so I know German premium brands quite well and believe it or not, I own a Korean car now and it offers more performance, features, and value over any of my Bimmers. Not saying I don’t enjoy them but the fit, finish and materials used on the Genesis car is without a doubt equal if not better than any others in the same price range.
Is the rear seat alarm going to go off every time I leave a box or grocery bag on the rear seat? Because that would drive me bonkers. Or can it be shut off? Which seems to be a common theme with today's cars- "features" that are dumb and/or annoying and have to be shut off, but you had to pay for them anyway.
You misunderstood. Do your boxes or groceries move? He asked the girls to try not to move. The point is that even when they try to stay still the motion detector senses them.
Tried it several times actually. Worked flawlessly everyone. The car has to be locked though but that’s a pretty normal thing to lock your car after leaving it.
But no one talks about the biggest issue with Genesis. You buy a "luxury" vehicle but have to deal with a Hyundai dealer. I LOVE my G80 but when I take it in for service it is far from a luxury experience. Will never buy another Genesis again unless something changes with the dealers.
Dealership experience is the least important of this vehicle. Because remember that you ll be DRIVING the vehicle. Not paying to see it showcased a dealer like Jaguar or Land Rover. If that’s what you’re doing, then yes dealership experience is important. But if the whole vehicle is better than brands with better owner experience like Lexus, then the dealership experience can be overlooked. And genesis offers the best warranty and concierge service where they will pick you your car from your place and drop a loaner off
@@naveenthemachine I was mainly talking about the experience when getting it serviced. Both the dealers in my area have dirty old waiting rooms, no snacks or drinks offered beyond old coffee and water, Genesis offers the concierge service but when you try to use it then it is not available in the area, despite both dealers being less than 20 miles away. They do not guarantee a Genesis loaner for service even though that is a Genesis policy. Hell, they don't wash or even offer to wash the car after service. Luxury car, far from luxury dealer experience. Great care but the Hyundai experience is what you get with service. Still love my G80 Sport.
This easily destroys the 2022 nx. I knew it would and yup it does This is the Lexus nx we deserve. Not the overbloated rav4 with a Gucci watch Keep going genesis. Keep working hard and soon you’ll be able to eradicate Lexus off the face of the earth for good 💪👍👏
Man if this came in a hybrid or plug-in, oooof it'd be a great choice for my dad who's looking to get rid of our 06 Odyssey soon. The sting of paying for premium fuel is not something he wants.
Im new to the Genesis Brand. Our house has always had a GLE or GLS and C63. We gave up the GLE for a GV80. We could not be happier. The ride, fit and finish and overall quality is impressive. Genesis may not have the badge recognition of its German competitors but don't be fooled, these SUVs are true contenders in their segment. No they don't have the punch or sporty ride that Audi S line or Mercedes AMG lines have but thats ok...The ride quality in these SUVs for a daily driver is plush, quiet and luxurious. I liked our GV80 so much I just ordered my GV70 3.5T!
Excellent review as usual. Quick question. When I looked to build my own with the prestige package it only comes with nappa leather with suede inserts which I am not a fan of. The model you were testing was with the quilted seating. Is this a special order model or was this an additional option you could request with the sport prestige package.
Absolute scam of a car relying on people making poor financial decisions because they won't notice the added cost on your 84 month no money down payment. On the BMW you click the key three times and it remotely starts and preconditions the cabin to what you set up in the menu, not your last set temperature: $300 when you buy the car. On the Genesis you pay $100 a year or $10 a month to have that access. On the Genesis you have to pay $8150 to get the trim with the heated steering wheel. On the BMW it is a $150 option. Any car company that follows Tesla's trend of charging a subscription for features deserves to be spit on. I already pay $35 a month for phone service with internet access. Put a head unit in the car that has carplay and have completely independent climate control and stop making navigation a feature. No one in their right mind wants a car that is always connected to the internet because a cell phone already does that. If you can't afford the I6 BMW buy a FWD economy car with a turbo 4 cylinder and not a "luxury car" that collects your data and uses you as a product.
I test drove it top trim great car beautiful interior doesn’t feel as fast as the x3 m40 which I ended up getting primarily because of performance but styling and comfort and everything else on this car was top notch.
You mention yours is the top trim with nappa quilted but in my own attempt at building a top trim with quilted it isn't offered. Seems that changed from the pre-release to official customer release or perhaps was a pre-order only thing. Unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of the suede inserts in the top trim offer but like the features not offered in the advanced.
It's definitely a luxury car but unfortunately they don't have the luxury dealerships to sell them. We tried - what a horrible low rate experience. Infinity blows them out of the water.
How you have only have 78K followers is beyond me. So many annoying channels with poor content doing well makes no sense. Great video. Think the vehicle is very nice my only concern would be the pricing. In my opinion getting in German pricing but I guess test drive them both
It's kinda close, yes. But the X3 comparably equipped is still 9k more in Canada. And the GV70 is more luxurious, more reliable, and has better service. It's getting harder and harder to justify German premiums, imo.
@@johnholst 75k gets you a nicely equipped X3 M40i, and I can find quite a few on dealer lots near me in Vancouver for less than that. Plus you can negotiate with BMW dealers whereas Genesis is no-haggle. Having test driven both my pick is the X3. Have to say the Genesis interior is hands down better though!
Seems like just yesterday everyone was hollering and howling for Hyundai to create an offshoot brand. The pivot was inevitable but my mind is on a roller coaster when I hear Brian say they’re 5 years old already. If I was in the market I would get this over the German analog. You’re definitely going to get more for your money and I’m too old to let social influence affect my buying decisions.
The whole idea is to be loud so either you or someone will notice and save whatever is on the back seat. It only comes on if you leave something living in there abs lock the door.
Saw my first one on the road and it looked like a Subaru. Pretty unremarkable. And I really dislike the interior. It looks gimmicky like old American luxury interiors
This is an alert to anyone considering buying a Genesis. Hyundai by any name is a car with a faulty engine. So, don't forget to buy a big bucket to catch spewing oil in. Take it from an owner of a previous "top of the line" Hyundai. They were fundamentally flawed cars with flawed engines. And when your engine seizes up they will blame everything else-the weather, the music you listen to, lol anything. The engines spew oil. If they spew it at such a rate you end up on the road with no oil, they deny the oil leak has anything to do with the problem. Hyundai=faulty engines that spew oil. It might take a couple of years or it might happen immediately. But eventually, and soon, it will spew oil all over the place.
They were flawed 10 years ago, new cars they make are really reliable much more reliable than majority of other brands besides Toyota/Lexus and most importantly they are more reliable than Germans which they compete with
On parking assist you mentioned that's a feature on higher trim models, is this not the top sports package of a GV70 being shown? I know in the US the top sports package forces you into suede interior which I hate but this is the exterior color I want and same with the all leather black interior but I was lead to believe I couldn't get that. I assumed this was the top sports package because you have the 12 inch digital cluster which is only on the top trim, perhaps in Canada you get more options compared to the US? I need to call Genesis again and get more clarification I suppose
Yes this is the top trim. The packages may differ between Canada and the US. This does have the remote park assist, I just didn’t have time to demo it. Only had just over a day with the car.
I bought mine in July. I got the matte Barossa Burgundy and I am STILL in love with this car. Worth every penny.
is taking care of the matte paint a pain in the ass?
@Nicholas Comaromi Yes, but getting ceramic coating makes it easier. I am not sure I would have gotten the matte if I had the choice again, but the car is still amazing.

Im new to the Genesis Brand. Our house has always had a GLE or GLS and C63. We gave up the GLE for a GV80. We could not be happier. The ride, fit and finish and overall quality is impressive. Genesis may not have the badge recognition of its German competitors but don't be fooled, these SUVs are true contenders in their segment. No they don't have the punch or sporty ride that Audi S line or Mercedes AMG lines have but thats ok...The ride quality in these SUVs for a daily driver is plush, quiet and luxurious. I liked our GV80 so much I just ordered my GV70 3.5T!
Excellent review as usual. Quick question. When I looked to build my own with the prestige package it only comes with nappa leather with suede inserts which I am not a fan of. The model you were testing was with the quilted seating. Is this a special order model or was this an additional option you could request with the sport prestige package.
He sounds Canadian. Hyundai/Kia offer different options/packages in Canada than they do in the US.
@@mavfan1 you’re correct - this review was done in Ontario, Canada.
The interior kills that of the GV80. Was going to get the GV80 then heard the GV70 was coming. Will get the top spec 2.5T.
Great video as always. Is that a Wyze camera mounted above your garage door? Wyze are great camera and at a very affordable price.
The Wyze V3 is 👌
No it’s a Ring Spotlight. It’s ok. Slow to activate though. Was on sale when I bought it. Will look into the Wyze though. Thanks
@@EverydayReviews2022 You can do a review on it on your channel as well. You can get the Wyze V3 for $35.00 US
Ordered the Burgundy as well. With a brown interior. Looking forward to it!
Absolute scam of a car relying on people making poor financial decisions because they won't notice the added cost on your 84 month no money down payment. On the BMW you click the key three times and it remotely starts and preconditions the cabin to what you set up in the menu, not your last set temperature: $300 when you buy the car. On the Genesis you pay $100 a year or $10 a month to have that access. On the Genesis you have to pay $8150 to get the trim with the heated steering wheel. On the BMW it is a $150 option. Any car company that follows Tesla's trend of charging a subscription for features deserves to be spit on. I already pay $35 a month for phone service with internet access. Put a head unit in the car that has carplay and have completely independent climate control and stop making navigation a feature. No one in their right mind wants a car that is always connected to the internet because a cell phone already does that. If you can't afford the I6 BMW buy a FWD economy car with a turbo 4 cylinder and not a "luxury car" that collects your data and uses you as a product.
Wonderful vehicle and wonderful review. I wish it had wireless Apple Car-play!
Your precious girls
Just earned you a sub
Be sure to share this with them
What well behaved children!
Bravo mom
And dad
how does a car seat fit in the rear? enough space for the front passengers with it installed?
More than enough.
I'm not crazy about all those elliptical shapes in the interior. Looks dated.
Kinda a retro- modern take. But agree not for everyone. Much more stylish than what you see in the competition.
I’m blown away by the interior tbh I have almost decided 10 times on what I want then this came up and I dunno man it’s nice
I test drove it top trim great car beautiful interior doesn’t feel as fast as the x3 m40 which I ended up getting primarily because of performance but styling and comfort and everything else on this car was top notch.
Agreed. Having owned two X3’s
Also measurably more expensive. I loved the m40i as well, but I’m all set with a $700+ lease w/$6000 down.
You mention yours is the top trim with nappa quilted but in my own attempt at building a top trim with quilted it isn't offered. Seems that changed from the pre-release to official customer release or perhaps was a pre-order only thing. Unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of the suede inserts in the top trim offer but like the features not offered in the advanced.
It's definitely a luxury car but unfortunately they don't have the luxury dealerships to sell them. We tried - what a horrible low rate experience. Infinity blows them out of the water.
How you have only have 78K followers is beyond me. So many annoying channels with poor content doing well makes no sense. Great video. Think the vehicle is very nice my only concern would be the pricing. In my opinion getting in German pricing but I guess test drive them both
Thanks! I have no idea why it’s so hard to grow as well. Guess it’s up to the algorithm. Thanks again for the kind comment 🙏
Simply a fanbloodytastic car..top notch tech and price..
Just wish the pricing on the 3.5T Sport Plus is better - it's too close to the BMW X3 M40i so I'd rather get that.
It's kinda close, yes. But the X3 comparably equipped is still 9k more in Canada. And the GV70 is more luxurious, more reliable, and has better service. It's getting harder and harder to justify German premiums, imo.
@@johnholst 75k gets you a nicely equipped X3 M40i, and I can find quite a few on dealer lots near me in Vancouver for less than that. Plus you can negotiate with BMW dealers whereas Genesis is no-haggle. Having test driven both my pick is the X3. Have to say the Genesis interior is hands down better though!
@@roastpuff Yes, both great options!
How is the bulid quality?
Excellent!
Genesis is all made in my town, Ulsan. Korea. Their fit and finish are the top notch.
@@mahaloaloha6819 I've toured the factory in Ulsan many years ago. It's like a small city itself. Very impressive!
@@johnholst wow glad to hear you visited my town.
Yes Ulsan is known as Hyundai city. We also have Hyundai Ship Building in Ulsan.
@@mahaloaloha6819 Yes right. Some people call Ulsan "Hyundai City ". I think so!
Seems like just yesterday everyone was hollering and howling for Hyundai to create an offshoot brand. The pivot was inevitable but my mind is on a roller coaster when I hear Brian say they’re 5 years old already.
If I was in the market I would get this over the German analog. You’re definitely going to get more for your money and I’m too old to let social influence affect my buying decisions.
The rearseat reminder system is a little ridiculous with the car horn alarm. Way too loud.
The whole idea is to be loud so either you or someone will notice and save whatever is on the back seat. It only comes on if you leave something living in there abs lock the door.
@@EverydayReviews2022 Oh that makes more sense.
Little worried about the brands recalls and general Hyundai/genesis quality. But it looks so good!!
Great looking vehicle Brian 👍🏻. BUT it’s a NO from me. I’ll wait for their total EV version. I’m done forever with petrol vehicles. 🤨
Don't want to read any more about obsolete gas powered cars.........Paul
Funny thing is, local Genesis dealer stopped trying to call me after 1 day to schedule my requested gv70 test drive. 🤔
That’s odd.
@@EverydayReviews2022 i took it as, they’ve got too much demand
Like the Genesis and Hyundai brand in general, but hate station wagons. Childhood memories, UGH. I grew up to get away from these things.
Good thing this looks nothing like a station wagon.
USB type A? Lame.
Hybrid and PHEV are not worth it. Most owners of PHEV go back to full ICE cars. EV gv70 coming out next year.
"Most" owners of PHEVs do NOT go back to ICE cars. Around 80% stay with it. So you're entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.
I like it but it looks so wagony to me. That bothers me. A little more ground clearance would be nice.
wagons are awesome.
Ya too bad North America is not getting the G70 shooting break (wagon).
lose the sunglasses for presentations
I like em 😎
Saw my first one on the road and it looked like a Subaru. Pretty unremarkable. And I really dislike the interior. It looks gimmicky like old American luxury interiors
This is an alert to anyone considering buying a Genesis. Hyundai by any name is a car with a faulty engine. So, don't forget to buy a big bucket to catch spewing oil in. Take it from an owner of a previous "top of the line" Hyundai. They were fundamentally flawed cars with flawed engines. And when your engine seizes up they will blame everything else-the weather, the music you listen to, lol anything. The engines spew oil. If they spew it at such a rate you end up on the road with no oil, they deny the oil leak has anything to do with the problem. Hyundai=faulty engines that spew oil. It might take a couple of years or it might happen immediately. But eventually, and soon, it will spew oil all over the place.
They were flawed 10 years ago, new cars they make are really reliable much more reliable than majority of other brands besides Toyota/Lexus and most importantly they are more reliable than Germans which they compete with
Same as my Mercedes that spewed oil as well. I’ll never own another Mercedes after that and the dealer experience that followed.
My 2007 Santa Fe is still running perfectly. I gave it to my mom when I bought myself a new car. Not a single major repair to this day.
This isn't a Hyundai engine...made by Genesis from the ground up.
On parking assist you mentioned that's a feature on higher trim models, is this not the top sports package of a GV70 being shown? I know in the US the top sports package forces you into suede interior which I hate but this is the exterior color I want and same with the all leather black interior but I was lead to believe I couldn't get that. I assumed this was the top sports package because you have the 12 inch digital cluster which is only on the top trim, perhaps in Canada you get more options compared to the US? I need to call Genesis again and get more clarification I suppose
Yes this is the top trim. The packages may differ between Canada and the US. This does have the remote park assist, I just didn’t have time to demo it. Only had just over a day with the car.
