What a fun ride

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

2022 2.0T Advanced AWD. Aesthetically beautiful inside and out. Base engine has plenty of pep for me, with a nice purr. A drivers car so you’re riding low in the seat, which adds to the fun. Takes corners like a dream. Driving assist for long stretches of highway driving makes for a more pleasant experience. Trunk is small given spare tire and battery placement (fits a golf bag diagonally). Nice and tight overall with a firm ride but not harsh. Gets lots of looks!

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.

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.

Great car, but good luck with dealer maintenance!!

Despite the extravagant promises of concierge service, complementary maintenance, and bumper-to-bumper warranty, dealer support is almost none-existent. Service Dept at the dealer I bought my G70 from became non-responsive, and the one I have to use is a 2-hour drive each way. "Complementary" routine maintenance is a 2-3 month wait. And the "Concierge Service" they brag on is "geographically limited;" i.e., you pretty much have to live next to the dealership. Because they totally separated from Hyundai, there's really no dealer network to rely on. Love the car - better than a C-Class, if you ask me - but buy a Genesis, and you are on your own.

Vehicle itself is Beyond Expectations until 25000

Flawless vehicle. Unbelievable ride and quality finish. Don’t buy this car based on its price. It’s barely $3500 less than similarly equipped Audi A4. Absolutely no complaints. It exceeds my expectations of what a sport sedan should be in every way. The only downside is that you will be buying this car from a Hyundai dealership. So, expect the salesman to treat you as if you are buying a $15,000 accent with poor credit. If you can get over that, then you’ll be very satisfied with the car itself. 8/2022 Update: Again, great car, but the service department at Hyundai refuses to look into a problem with alignment. I had them fix it twice and paid for it, but the alignment was still the same. They told me on the third try that I should replace The tires before they try again. Instead, I went to a private mechanic in Roswell Georgia called five brothers, and they fixed the alignment to perfection in about half an hour. Until Genesis gets its own dealerships and service departments, I do not recommend buying this car. 11/4/22 Update: Engine misfiring at 25,000 miles - the engine started shaking at idle and power would get cut off to the engine. By 27,000 miles, this became a common occurrence. Yes, the car is still under warranty but you need the time to take it to the dealership and then hope that they will actually fix the problem. I lost faith that a car this new could have engine problems. I traded it in for a 22 Camry V6. After owning between 12 to 15 different cars, this is the first time I have ever had an engine failure, let alone at such low mileage.
