Possibly the best review I’ve seen for this car. Pointing out exactly what matters. No rambling. Video shot with very high resolution when shooting the tech part which is critical. Thank you.
I can relate. I feed six deer every evening. I call them my evening Six Pack. Two are currently pregnant . They're wild but someday I hope they'll trust me enough to approach me.
Hey Steven, Thx for the review - Well done!! The GV70 offers a wide variety of modes for the driver to enjoy. As I approach 60 yrs old (and I'm a bit of a car guy) I totally love the luxury & comfort side of vehicles BUT also what to turn it up when I can. This GV70 3.5TT should really be about $20-$50K higher priced. It simply does everything really well and is 2nd to none is this segment when it comes to ride quality, comfortness, quietness all while surrounding the occupants with massive luxury features. It is called the baby Bentayga for many reasons. It is so quiet & refined when you want it to be - When you're stuck in traffic or going no where fast. My wife asked me if it was an EV as it was so quiet. Those double paned windows really make a huge difference. Plus the massaging seat is nice!! When you want to drive spiritedly switch it into Sports + mode and you easily hear the roar of the engine and the sweet exhaust notes while enjoying the rear wheel driving bias sporty experience. In comparison, the RDX A Spec it an excellent top rated vehicle but that engine is super noisy vs the GV70 and its a much more stiffer ride. Plus I wasn't impressed with the 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds to the GV 70's of 5.7 (4.9 seconds in the V-6). And the RDX weighs 450 lbs less. Its the luxury components/options, higher tech, standard features & options, the ride quality (can be extremely quiet & smooth AND aggressive and sweet exhaust notes) that makes this GV 70 THE clear winner in segment. Overall the CLEAR winner for me the is the GV70 3.5TT in Sport trim level. I'll take it in that Gorgeous Mauna Red exterior colour with 2 tone interior combination please:-) In Canada that full load price is $76,500 plus taxes. The F&PDI is included in that price. No discounts from that at all. The electrified version is coming out in 2023 but in Canada the top trim level will be about $25K-$35K higher cost to the ICE version. Besides its NO Gas requirement the EV version is a littler quicker with 0-60 times 4.3 to 4.6 seconds. For me I'd put down my deposit yesterday if the EV version had a time in the 3.5 second range. It will have a 500 kms range on a full charge. PS - Lots of dealer problems with Genesis in the States. Here in Vancouver No problems at all. I have 3 dealers within 40 minutes and the nearest is 15 mins away. Cheers all!!
Nice review. I just had my one year concierge service on my 2022 GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige (Uyuni white over red/charcoal). I would buy it again in a heartbeat. At any trim level the GV70 offers a great value, beautiful styling inside and out, great warranty and concierge service.
Great job! I just bought an Advanced in Red/Black yesterday. I was going to get the beige interior as I think it looks really nice, but I have several friends who have had it in various cars and ALL of them say: “Never again! It get’s dirty on its own somehow and your new car can look old, fast unless you are regularly cleaning it!” That isn’t me! 😅 I definitely think the Advanced offers the most for the money and I didn’t really need/want what the Prestige offered as the Advanced is so well appointed and equipped! Right at that perfect intersect of quality and value where I would have to spend significantly more for a small gain. I wish it had a heads up display too but I only want it because mine doesn’t have it! 😅 In truth, I would rarely use it. I’m questing it’s my hearing but I can’t quite make out what you said just around 25-…”of having a Genesis.” Thanks again! Can’t wait to pick mine up next week! I did better than MSRP in that my dealer offered me 3K more for my trade in than another dealer who wouldn’t budge and I was already paying what was on the sticker. Oh! I was desperate to get a 2023! The 2024 Advanced models drop several great features including the great stereo system!
Would be nice to mention and give some love to Android auto... This car has both apple car play and Android Auto not just apple CarPlay as portrayed but good video overall
I just put my deposit down today on a 2023 white GV70 Advanced. I wanted the cool digital cluster and HUD in the sports prestige, but couldn't stomach the mesh seats. That ruined it for me. The Advanced model seats are just more luxurious looking. Just wishing I could have the digital cluster.
Congrats! Exact same issue here - we really wanted the HUD and digital gauge cluster but didn’t need the sport prestige features, so went with the advanced. You’ll still love it!
Thanks for watching Danny! That’s awesome to hear :D The white really is stunning. And wow I didn’t realize that about the exhaust shape - that’s an awesome find!
Nobody talks about long term reliability. I want to buy this used and hopefully own past warranty. From what I've learnt on Genesis fan forum, there are issues to be concerned about.
Thanks for watching! Yep, the car buying world is pretty crazy right now. The person who owns this car was able to get the car at MSRP about 6 months ago, so it’s definitely possible still to get it at MSRP!
I got mine in Jan ‘23 here in Florida. The first dealership wanted $5k over MSRP and I seriously thought dude was crazy. Next one wanted $4k over, and the third (which was the lowest) wanted $2k over. Realizing central FL is probably a hot market, I decided to look outside my state in smaller/less demanding cities with the thought of having the car shipped to me. I figured if I could get it at a descent price, the overall cost (with shipping) would still be less than paying thousands over MSRP. I eventually found one at MSRP but the deal fell through as another buyer had the car reserved. Bummed but determined I continued looking in other neighboring states and eventually called another dealership 165 miles away from me. It was there i was blessed to get it at $800 BELOW. It’s crazy, just a few years ago paying MSRP for a vehicle was like committing the unforgivable sin, but nowadays we’d gladly accept it without negotiation. You definitely have to keep looking because most dealers will use the same excuse (although true) to their advantage…low inventory, supply chain issues, chip shortage, etc. In all honesty, inventory on the GV70 is pretty scarce, and it was a bit more challenging for me since I wanted a specific color combo (Uyuni White/Black) along with the Advanced trim. All in all, I was very fortunate and it worked out. I highly suggest shopping around, even outside your hometown and don’t settle for the first offer if you don’t feel 100% comfortable.
Good choices! If you’re getting a sporty trim like the 3.5T sport prestige, the red interior really pops! I’m not the biggest fan of the blue interior, but it is very unique.
My local dealer has two in blue with red interior and they remain unsold even in this tight market. I checked them out yesterday. That combo, IMHO, looks really loud colored and a bit “pimp-ish”. The two colors together clash. Sales guy called it the “clown car” combo. Be sure you actually see one and don’t just decide from online photos.
@@atomicrancher3745 Yet they don't allow the Cardiff Green with Havana Brown combo which would be my choice. You would have to get the matte Brunswick Green to get the Havana Brown. But they allow the Adriatic Blue with Havana Brown. Can't figure that out. Seems you could at least special order any combo.
The MSRP of my 2023 2.5T Advanced with three accessories was $53,550. The dealer marked it up $7000 but accepted $2000 over MSRP (less than Edmunds True Market Value). An outstanding car!
I was able to buy a 2.5 Sport Prestige for MSRP plus &995 (down from $1,995 ask from the dealer) that include a front windows tint, clear protection for doors edges and handles, and a dash camera. Not that I ordered those extra items, but for $995 seems fair to me. This is in the DFW area, but I think now dealers are starting to be willing to negotiate
@@Clockwork2004 I think interest rates going up are pricing people out of the new car market so the dealers are starting to have to come down on price.
Thanks for watching Michael! :) that’s a very good question…there are so many out there, and all of them have a few flaws. I would say that Audi’s is probably my favorite in the luxury department. BMW and MB are fine but have a bit of a learning curve too.
Just test drove one (3.5T) but I found the suspension too firm...it is definitely a performance SUV but not what I'm looking for. Also found it strange that only the top of the line has blind spot cameras. Even Hyundai and Kia SUVs have that feature...for $20K less.

Thank you for the kind words, that means a lot to me! :)
I’ve had good cars, Audi, cadillac, Acura, - this is the finest one yet. It’s a sleeper people will discover.

This is the exact trim I want! Base engine with advanced. Ahhhhhhhh
A+ interior review. I have this trim on order & I learned a lot. A+ overall. Many thanks

I like so much your channel, nice review!
The beige interior looks beautiful!
I agree! Definitely hard to keep clean though 😂
Great review. This car is stunning.
Thanks Inda! Completely agree, definitely one of my all time favorite new cars.
Just put down the deposit for the exact color combination and trim. BTW I think the exhaust pipe shape is the front grill sideways.
Thanks for watching Danny! That’s awesome to hear :D The white really is stunning. And wow I didn’t realize that about the exhaust shape - that’s an awesome find!
The background mansions are cool
Great Coverage 🙏
Enjoy ur review!! Why the landscape looks like in Sugarland.... sure enough it is 🤣🤣
Haha yes it is! Good eye :) thanks for watching!

It’s a shame most dealers are adding 17-20% mark up to the cost. 😡

I'm torn between the Adriatic Blue exterior with the Sevilla Red interior or the Mauna Red exterior with the Ultramarine Blue interior.
Good choices! If you’re getting a sporty trim like the 3.5T sport prestige, the red interior really pops! I’m not the biggest fan of the blue interior, but it is very unique.
Same here. Got to see it to make final choice

Very nice SUV, excellent review
I AM OBSESSED! ❤
Heads up if you are buying a 2023 expect to pay 10k over the msrp. Just bought the 2.5 advanced for 60k
The MSRP of my 2023 2.5T Advanced with three accessories was $53,550. The dealer marked it up $7000 but accepted $2000 over MSRP (less than Edmunds True Market Value). An outstanding car!
got lucky here in AZ. Getting Base with AWD Select Package for MSRP $48,225 and tax, signing this afternoon.
Things change pretty fast. I paid MSRP (actually a $365 discount from MSRP) for a vik black 2023 2.5T Sport Prestige two weeks ago.
I was able to buy a 2.5 Sport Prestige for MSRP plus &995 (down from $1,995 ask from the dealer) that include a front windows tint, clear protection for doors edges and handles, and a dash camera. Not that I ordered those extra items, but for $995 seems fair to me. This is in the DFW area, but I think now dealers are starting to be willing to negotiate

it looks like a baby from Porsche Cayenne and mercedes Glc
Super nice but I'm not getting just cus of the overlap hoop it haves no purpose at all.
What type fuel does the 2.5 gv70 use?
Premium
Zero-60 mid 5 sec - 5.9
Hey! Does this have HUD? Please lmk. Thanks!
This one does not unfortunately :( You can only get the HUD on the 3.5T Sport Prestige trim I believe!
What is HUD?
Heads up display! It’s a projection on your windshield with some key information (speed, audio, gear, etc.).
@@StevensCarReviews The 2.5T Advanced Plus and the 2.5T Prestige come with HUD. In Canada at least.
Is this base trim with select model or higher ?
This is the 2.5T with Advanced package!
@@StevensCarReviews that is nice car, i think i’ll change my car to buy genesis select
@@StevensCarReviews how much you pay for insurance and monthly payment ?
Just test drove one (3.5T) but I found the suspension too firm...it is definitely a performance SUV but not what I'm looking for. Also found it strange that only the top of the line has blind spot cameras. Even Hyundai and Kia SUVs have that feature...for $20K less.
The advanced trim level also has blind spot cameras
The Advanced package has the Blind Spot View Monitor feature
Not in Canada
@@dalehuhtala9285 yeah but you’ve got that “free” medical care, lmao
@@dalehuhtala9285 advanced trim does have it in canada
He's cute
They don’t have cars they can’t supply the demand numbers. It’s not going to be good
