I drove an Audi S5, BMW m340i and hesitantly - I decided to go with the G70. Having had it for a week now, I am in awe of everything from the build quality to performance. What started as a decision solely based on cost savings has turned into an affection for the brand. And having switched from a Tesla model 3, I am blown away by this vehicle’s performance. Its an absolute machine. Downfalls include the partly digital cluster, though you get used to it quickly. I think they could clean up the interior by getting rid of most of the chrome, but we’re splitting hairs at this point. I love the G70 and arguably will be a fan for life. Not to make sure they keep their promise on the service side and hopefully, this amazing warranty holds true too. Time will tell but I’m in love.

fits like a glove

I took a test drive on the highway and then around a few city turns, then looked again at the features on the window sticker and the drive-out price and asked my sales person where to sign so I could drive it home asap. The G70 got my attention back in 2020 but at the time we opted for the Accord 2.0, which is no slouch, because of price and practicality as the grocery getter. This time, for our 2nd car, the G70 with advanced package and RWD sat in the sweet spot. The exterior looks even better after the refresh as does the dash. This machine is beautiful in and out. I also had to make sure my golf bag fit in the smallish trunk and it did. I drove MB and Audi between '06 and '20 and while I loved them both, the price/performance ratio on this G70 can't be beat.

BMW to G70 - No Regrets, but Room for Improvement

I thought my BMW 330is was quick off the line and zippy enough to get me into trouble - but after test-driving the 2022 3.3L Genesis G70 Sport Prestige, I KNEW this car was fast enough to get me into trouble! Stunning sport-mode acceleration and a grip on the road as good or better than its sports sedan contemporaries made it easy to trade the Beemer in for this car. Really cool looking - especially in Havana Red. My BMW was good looking, but it never turned any heads. The G70, however, gets looks and questions - the most common: "What IS this?" G70 Sport Prestige PROS: Rocket ship acceleration; superb sports sedan handling but cushy in selectable comfort-mode; comfortable front seats; lots of cool technology; gets lots of attention (careful, that includes from the cops); massive Brembo brakes; smart cruise control with decent auto-pilot steering (not quite as good as Tesla); excellent climate control. CONS: Mediocre fuel economy; small fuel tank (short range); tight back seat; lacks some advanced features like automatic parking/unparking; driver profiles not stored in key fob like my BMW (a pain with a car shared with my short wife); someone's idea of "stereo" is a single main audio speaker in the dash. Excellent sound quality, but everything balanced to the center-front instead of left-to-right (can be "sort-of" adjusted with fader control to overcome this); trunk space is fair. That said, the G70 offers great bang-for-the buck high-end luxury and performance. Compared with BMW, MBZ, Acura, Infinity and Audi, I have no regrets spending my money on the Genesis.

Bought 2.0T AWD to replace muscle commuter

2022 Genesis G70 2.0T 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Riding in a friend's GV80 with Highway Driving Assist immediately convinced me to look at Genesis. I seriously do not like long drives and traffic so thought I'd replace an optioned out 2018 392 Challenger with something that could help make long trips and lines of traffic bearable. My initial concern was that I'd miss the 392's acceleration so I test drove both a 3.3T and a 2.0T, but to be honest, I didn't feel there was a huge "street legal" difference in performance between those two Genesis engines. In full disclosure, I also own an 1100 rwhp Camaro, so my yardstick pushed the 2.0T and 3.3T's performance well to the left of not simply the 392, but definitely that of the Camaro. Public streets being what they are, especially with rush hour traffic, I couldn't justify the extra $9k for a 3.3T AWD. Give me that Highway Driving Assist to deal with long trips, an AWD powertrain to deal with poor weather conditions, and the best factory sound system. Those 3 items can be found with the smaller engine, but I will say, the Lexicon sound system is not as good as the Harmon Kardon's found in any of the BMW/Dodge/Mercedes/RAM vehicles. And that's a shame, so one star off. I will say, in support of the 4 stars, that every day I drive the G70, I like it more and more. I was briefly considering a WRX, but the Genesis definitely feels more substantial, better built, comes with the best tech this side of Mercedes, and has more efficient powertrain. I do wish the 2.0T models had some of the features the 3.3T has, like HUD, buttonless trunk opener, digital key and...well, that's about it, and those aren't deal breakers for a car that does 12 miles (30 minutes) per day. This is a great 3 series type car, and that doesn't even consider the price point, so yes, great car!

Amazing Korean Luxury Rocket!

Well balanced and solid car. Smooth gliding about town and rip roaring fun on the highway. It can do it all. The heated steering wheel and seats are welcome in the cold. Sure footed AWD. Head turner yet buttoned down and well mannered. On par with German offerings yet the tech is pleasantly intuitive and few inputs are required to get what you want. Bank vault solid build quality and the 365HP and AWD get it going any speed you want in seconds. If you had any reservations about buying a luxury brand Hyundai, give this a drive and you’ll be the first one in your neighborhood with the nicest car no-one has seen before.
