Genesis GV70 - Instead Of AMG - Test Drive | Everyday Driver

I love everything about it but I can’t spend this much on a car.

I have been really eyeing this car as I am transitioning to a SUV. I have had my eyes on the Porsche Macan & Alfa Stelvio but this seems to tick every box & looks like the best bang for the buck in the segment.

What good is the review if you don't tell us the trim you're driving?

I've been interested in the GV trim line for a while but the steering wheel is hard no for me.

I love it!

What model year is this?

That Ultramarine Blue with red stitching looks amazing! It would look way nicer with a lighter exterior color

I wish I could afford a GV70 2.5T Advanced or Sport Prestige but it’s so much more than a comparable Santa Fe Limited or Calligraphy with the same engine with the same amount of torque as the 2.5T in the GV70. The Calligraphy trim interior with the Coquina Beige Nappa leather & ambient lighting looks as nice as a comparable GV70

Lipstick on a pig

Nice SUV except that info sitting on top of dash instead of being built in looks tacky.i don't why Genesis doesn't update and put into dash and get rid of this horizontal info instead square.

I test drove this in top spec and it was excellent. One nitpick…the rear wiper needs to be tucked from under the spoiler. If they can do it on the Tucson, they can do it on this.

Now that Genesis exist WHY WOULD I PAY 20K more for the other luxury brands?

what is limited differential?

I had a 2021 Macan GTS speacial ordered. It was $93,000. I drove one of these and preferred it. My Macan was TBoned by a red light runner second month I owned it.

Your reviews always make me laugh and smile. This looks like an amazing SUV, and a lot of fun. I went with the G70 3.3, but this thing also looks prime.

Great video guys. My wife bought a GV70 and it's amazing. She was looking at Mercedes and I talked her into at least test driving the GV70. After the test drive she made the purchase lol. And everyday she drives it she falls more in love. I love borrowing it lol so much that I had to buy myself a G70 3.3 sport prestige lol. Genesis killing it

Bmw seat controls show you on the screen what seat control you are touching...same concept

Your banter is spot on, love the format. Car is also pretty nice.

if 0-60, quarter mile dont matter to you then you wont mind being smoked by the german equivalents and if you are not in your teens it shouldnt.

i loved everything about the gv70 and placed a few orders so that when the right trim/color came in, I could go in and buy it on the spot. three hyundai dealers were so bad with customer service I ended up just giving on up the gv70. as a korean, it's sad hyundai dealership experience is so awful. there' no genesis standalone around me. I ended up getting an amg about a year ago and enjoying it but I agree with everything in the video, it's a great value all things considered. just sad that it's such a bad experience shopping for it.

Definitely, my next purchase will be a Genesis car. This mix btw German and Japanese and original Korean taste.. it's one of the best in the market today for me. Great cars

We need a comparison with the GV70 EV.

Really appreciate your review and thank you for making me laugh out loud! I am with you on the interiors to exterior colors. I caught the Porsche resemblance the first time I looked at it. Can do without the chrome. Love all the knobs and whozits! I'm not crazy about the plastic area that wraps around the rear plate and exhaust. Looks janky and cheap on an otherwise beautifully detailed car. I looked at the GV70 first, before looking at others in this class and walked away. You're making me rethink it! Good job!😉

Any thoughts about the seats? How do they stack up against Volvo seats? Would you be happy sitting in it for hours? Thanks!

Before I pay 62 k for a GV 70 I will buy a Macan S I really want a Macan GTS but I am under capitalized .Haha, remember after taxes, dealer mark ups 10% if the car is stolen or totaled all you get is msrp from the insurance co.

I have NEVER wanted an SUV before, but damn I want one of these.

Was leaning towards an X3 or GLC, but test drove the base GV70 and BLOWN AWAY. I'm an admitted BMW snob too. Question is will I go for the Petrol or the GV70 Electrified EV that's due out this year.. Great review gentlemen!

Guys, great review….you are making a convincing argument to move brands. Really enjoy your knowledge and the way you deliver the message.

Awesome job….

Just ordered our 2023 GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige black on red today. Coming in 2 weeks!

The thing that irritates me most about Genesis/Hyundai is the obviously copied design elements. Copy paste the shape of the grille from Mazda. Rear from Lincoln. Hood from Chrysler. It's like the Johnny Cash song "One Piece At A Time".

I love almost everything about this car. My gripe is the cladding on the rear bumper and huge exhaust pipes positioned where they are. It's ugly and tacky. And the overall exterior design is about a 7 / 10 IMO. It's distinctive though so I do like that. The drive was excellent when I test drove it. And the seat comfort and materials were top notch. I really want to purchase but it just doesn't have the mature road presence I'm looking for. I wish it looked like the EV version in the rear. That would be enough to make me purchase it.

The wife doesn't know it yet, but by the end of the year we will trade out of the Q3 for this. It is awesome. Great review guys!!!

Don’t like the wheels. Other than that, looks good

Where was this video filmed at? Great job.

Anyone picking Benz, Audi, or BMW over this are only going for the logo and nothing else.

I've been driving mostly Japanese vehicles and a big fan of German vehicles, and test drove the GV70 (Base 4 cyl) and came away super impressed. I think 300hp is sufficient for my needs. Tech, fit and finish, ride, warranty were amazing but it's the ride that was 'goldilocks' - sporty but still a very lux ride. It's probably my next SUV (tho the GV70 Electrified due out next year is on the short list too)

Mercedes Benz is so yesterday. Clearly.
Hyundai you're the real best.

Really love the exterior design and what it offers. I'm warming up to the interior a little.

is this the larger engine?

It is not a “bargain” It has a Hyundai/transmission engine not a Honda or Toyota engine!

Bought my GV70 in Jan. 2022....having owned many wonderful cars/SUV's over the years this one is the best handling, most beautiful yet. Mine is the same Mauna Red as your test vehicle and it's simply fantastic! You did a great job with the video and it sums up what I already know.....this thing is amazing!!!

This is one of the best offered by Genesis

This adorable couple make some good points on this GV70

Thanks for making me pull the trigger on this engineering marvel haha! Definitely following you guys here on in, thanks for the chill and honest review

Dam I’m a fan of the channel now because this review

Genesis has become my favorite auto brand. The way their vehicles drive, performs and their style, features, especially for the price their vehicles deserve to sell more. They have struck the bullseye with balance. I should absolutely be seing more of their vehicles out on the road but then I wouldn't standout as much or feel rare or special. My favorite auto segment is sport luxury, which is why I own a 2020 G70. If I was an SUV head I would absolutely own a GV70 just because I'm a fan of sport with a touch of class looking vehicles. And did I mention that Gensis is my favorite auto brand?

Have you guys driven the 2.5T? I think I will get this SUV but dont know if the V6 is worth the power bump

Thanks for the great review - interesting to have two "Porsche guys" positively comparing the dynamics of the 3.5 to the Macan. As the owner of a 2019 G70 3.3 Sport which I really enjoy, a move to a GV70 should be a no-brainer when the time comes. It's a beautiful looking vehicle. Hopefully Genesis will stick with this design language for a while (my G70 is already yesterday's news styling wise) and not fall victim to Hyundai's proclivity to constantly fiddle with / change designs. On the downside, "trying to adult" is an apt description of the dealership experience - some work is definitely needed based on my dealings.

I hate the blue interior...but I also hate red vehicles.
