gv70

, so okay guys, my daughter has a driving test this week, but I gave her the keys to my

genesis

gv70

that I just bought. It's beautiful, look. the back of this thing, I want to show you guys how nice the front is and okay, honey, back up, back up, she's been pretty nervous driving, so I just tried to give her the best car we have and look. This thing is beautiful, good job, you're doing great, baby, keep backing up, yeah, good job, good job, you're doing great, you're doing great, don't worry, daddy's got

your

back, look the front of this thing, man.

It's beautiful, wow, beautiful Genesis did a great job and I hope my daughter does too for a driving test. We've got

your

back, baby, don't worry, we've got your back, so I got these straight facts straight from Wikipedia because you know they're facts now. Friends, when you leave out your last name just to keep it short, you gave this vehicle a hit, now look at this, I have to write it down. Luke was head of design for Bentley and Lambo Mark and Marcus was vice president and president of Audi and Benz. yes, he was the chief designer of bentley, yes, bentley felipe was the chief designer of lambeau, peter schreiger designed the audi tt albert was the head of the bmw m performance division, yes, and lastly, fayez was the leader of architecture development now look at this this is basically the brooklyn networks genesis brooklyn networks stole all these guys brought it to genesis and said hey we won in championships man kd kyrie hardin kobe when I make car videos I see the best i see the throttle house i look at straight pipes i look at doug tamora meets kevin graham stefan and when genesis builds cars they look at the best too, every manufacturer does it, they take their competitors, they separate them all and build something similar because every manufacturer wants to be better than the other, so it's a normal competition, that's how the world works.

Now it works, what they have done different is yes the styling, there are parts from other cars that may or may not look like this one but what they have done is they have come with a new approach and that approach is the service that they have basically taken . Lexus and they've used it on steroids and the difference is they have this whole new approach to how to sell cars. Yes like Tesla you can buy it online but they also have the crazy thing of having people come to your house and pick up your car for service every genesis this is not like you are buying an s class or an a8 and you are a special customer , everyone gets this treatment, so that's the first push, they also give you an all-inclusive. price, I'm not trying to sell it, I'm just saying they're doing something a little different than the rest, so Genesis has been a brand since 2015.

That's only six years old, yeah, they obviously have Hyundai behind them and they have some Hyundai fundamentals. , but this is a totally different car and they are smart like the Germans. They released the most expensive Halo car. First they released the expensive car and now they are starting to get more affordable things. again in 2015, it's crazy to have such a successful brand in such a short period of time, very much like us, you know, because we launched since 2020 and we really need you to subscribe and hit the like button, it really helps. us with the YouTube algorithm and it really helps where our channel goes.

You see, without your love, we simply won't get Genesis cars and it's because of your love. Genesis came to us and said, here's the car review for us for your people now. without you, we need you to hit the like button one more time so we can get them on two different engines. The first engine is a four-cylinder that generates 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque that is available in four different versions. First. It's called select next it's called advanced advanced plus and of course prestige almost every high end vehicle in the world is premium for some reason it's called prestige and this is what this car is not because this is a sports.

Plus when you get the six-cylinder that makes 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque, you have the option of a sport and a sport, plus now this is a sport plus it has all the toys available and tops out Of about 75,000 Canadians, the base model, which is the one selected on the four-cylinder, starts at 49. So that's your 49 to 75 layout and I'm excited to review the 75,000 car for you. You see, growing up, I always wanted to know why manufacturers could not only give us what we wanted, like we wanted a three-and-a-half-liter or three-liter engine to make 400 horsepower, but we never got it, we got like 280. horsepower, we thought we needed more power than we wanted, like cars that looked alike. this is like a bentley front end and the guy that made this car is from bentley, he made bentleys, he made cars that looked like this so he's giving us something for this price.

As you see, they always want to spend so much money to get something good. really have the status and not spend the money someone told me the other day that this looks like a poor man's Bentley to which I say, if someone told me that I looked like a poor man's Jimmy Kibble, I would accept it, I'm not going to say No, Genesis is super happy. This looks like a poor man's Bentley because you already know what's good for them, and so do I. I'll be Jimmy Cable all day. See you. This is a sport model, so it has all the things crossed out.

It also has these different wide front air intakes. You see, these front air intakes are actually different that if you get the two and a half liter one, you actually get a slightly different front bumper. Also, on the side you have a different aesthetic and on the rear bumper, which is different. We'll go over that in a minute, but as far as the front goes, it's got what Genesis calls the G-matrix design, which is basically side triangles on this crested girl and these quad lights, the signature design is really the split headlight, that It's really what stands out. car when you see it behind you nothing on the market looks like that yeah the front of this thing is really where the money is now this hood extends too far it has kind of an overbite look which I thought when I saw it by First time, I thought the hood was actually open, but it's not, it's just a design sign that they have a different kind of masculine appearance, but interestingly Genesis believes that many of the customers who will now see this vehicle will be women, so that's what they really want. to push, they want to push the female dominance of this gv70, they want to get away from all the guys that buy it, so under the hood we have a 3.5 liter v6 that makes 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque, but looking at it it's probably not that important because you're covered for the entire service, they'll pick it up from your house and you know, they'll pick it up from your house and they'll take care of it, but the important part to really know is the fact that this system has traction rear-wheel drive, it's actually the was built to be rear-wheel drive, see, let's take Audi as an example, they actually have a similar system, but it's backwards, you see it when you're driving on the road and you're not actually turning the steering wheel and you're just sitting on the road it is actually completely front wheel drive in your q5, in this specific case it is the exact opposite it is rear wheel drive and being rear wheel drive it has something called e-lsd which is an electronic system . slsd that can transfer up to 100 of all the power to the rear and to the side so in theory you can have a hundred percent of the power going to that rear wheel which is pretty crazy so on the side , because this is a sport version, it has the front bumper extension, that's why they call it g matrix design and it follows the front bumper as we go down here.

It has insulated fender liners, which is important to me. They are carpeted front and back, which usually tells me it's obvious. The luxury product and it has a silent ride inside it is not plastic when it comes to the wheels, pass this g matrix design for the wheels now these are 20, you can get them in 18, 19 and 21, they skip the 20 , but it also has this design now in terms of appearance, ah, not my favorite appearance, but hey, everyone has a preference and the beauty is the ib support. Now it looks pretty good in white if you haven't seen this car in white, well here it is. some extra stuff for you, but behind the wheel they have four piston brakes in the front and a single piston in the rear, they are quite large and have a good amount of stopping power as far as everything else goes, sport has this. little black valence piece on the bottom here on the side and the nice thing is you can choose not to have it if you get the four cylinder because on that version it's actually called sleek design and that one doesn't have that. piece now this version has folding mirrors it has that amazing hologram that appears on the ground it also has insulated double pane windows in the rear and the front sometimes it's a luxury piece that people will add but this one has in the rear obviously It also has sun visors, but we'll talk about that on the interior as far as appearance goes, this part is the only thing for me that is kind of Porsche 928 because I see it, the older Porsche guys will know all this.

Look, here's a Porsche 928 inside and out, in my opinion, probably not the most attractive part to me, but they had to do something to make this car stylistically feel a little smaller than it actually is visually, so that it widens. actually between the b-pillar and the c-pillar back and it widens, you can see it right here and you can see when you drive with the rear side mirrors there, now it's got kind of a black top rail on the roof, but it's cool. Part of this is actually in the front as far as the visuals go, because the suspension, when you see it here on the side, is actually electronically controlled and can detect what's coming down the road because there's a camera. up there looking at the road. and bumps are coming, the suspension knows it and then adapts, that's great, so there aren't many midsize SUVs that look good at the front and also at the rear.

You can probably count them on one hand and most of them. They are more expensive than this, but it also has a cool feature that most of them don't have, almost all of them don't have and I'm going to show you the key to do this, so I'm going to lock the car here, I'm going to start it, hold the button, it starts. and then I will bring it towards me as I walk she will follow me and while following me I will stand behind it and wait until it hits me and yes she doesn't hit me yes it has a summon function that can take you out and take you to places of parking lot.

I can go to the front and I can return. This is great. I have to be about four meters away and I leave it. it goes and it stops that's amazing I love the fact that it has that feature and if I want to turn it off I just press the button and it turns off so back here yeah it's awesome it's beautiful I love the way this The rear looks especially with the sport model, now the sport plus model and the sport model, but in the rear here you have to look at these huge, monstrous air thrusters coming out of the rear, they are huge, so when You see this exhaust, you will know it is the three liter sport model or the sport plus model when you see the circular exhaust.

Now as far as the finish goes, it continues this G-matrix design all the way and widens, it's not flat in shape. it just shines like little cannonballs now it also has a black lower rear valance here kind of a sports car of a car this is definitely from a car not a suv and it has these two rear reverse lights now they are very low and they are a little out of the way and I really like that some people don't like the fact that the reverse lights are low, but that was because I was in the Kia Sportage and it was right here and it was ugly, this thing is hidden. and tidy, but if we move up here, if you want to open the trunk, it is by pressing this button, it is not below here.

However, what I would like to see is I would have liked to see this rear wiper hidden under here and the reason is because it's beautiful here, this third brake light is money, so let's open the trunk here, I press the button and ready, it opens, it's height

adjust

able, you can set the height by pressing the typical unlock and lock button here or open and close the button on this lock. button here is when I press it I can walk away from the vehicle and the car will lock now as I do that I can push it up and I can set it and I can hold this button down and hopefully we'll hear a beep here we go. set up now, the first thing I notice is that this cargo floor is actually very flat, no it's not sunken, it's not higher and that's because this vehicle is actually lower than most SUVs you see on the market, it is a sporty SUV, that is why it isLike Look at this, I can basically stay here and sit like this isn't happening.

I usually try to get up or it has a high rear threshold to try to get in, but yeah, easy, easy, easy, lemon squeezer, as far as it goes. The depth is 37 and a half and in terms of entry point we have 42 inches and the height is 30 inches high. Now those rear seats fold down just by pulling this handle here, you can pull it that folds down on this side. and this folds down on this side now it feels very solid and strong it doesn't feel cheap I don't feel like I'm going to break this handle doing it and it actually has a little convenience feature underneath here now get this mat but when I pick it up I have the first hinge here.

I have the tonneau cover so I'm on the back of the gv70 and this is stylish so you can get five different leather versions on the gv7. synthetic leather, you can get genuine leather, you can get genuine leather with mesh, you can get nappa leather and fancy quilted nappa leather, so yeah, this is a quilted blue nappa leather and it's very, very stylish, now on to the part rear you've got heated seats, obviously you've got all the fixings for the luxury suede headliner, you know, the rear sun visors, you get this trim that basically follows the vents, so from the front they're completely vented and They actually went through it to the back seats, so let's see how.

This closes, it's solid, yeah, it's solid, this is money now again. I'm a huge fan so this is a little biased because I love the product. In fact, I love the underdog story of just being new and fresh and something different. so i will give the big three germans a run for their money because they have been a bit complacent, let's put this in perspective, the q7 q5 was launched in 2016 as a 2017 model, they made no

adjust

ments to the interior, they copied some of the a6a7 stuff, as far as you know, the mmi interior goes, but it's pretty much the same, it's kind of a new generation and that's why I like it, it's new, it's fresh and that excites me, so when I look up , it has a panoramic sunroof and the actual connecting rod is very thin, it's much thinner than most other German cars I reviewed, yes, it tilts back and forth, it doesn't slide back and forth, It leans forward and backward which is quite normal in the luxury segment.

It has USB, two of them and it has a full plug. You can plug in 150 watts of physical socket. Everything else looks pretty good. It has ambient lighting on the front. There is ambient lighting but no. over here it's actually in the door pocket here where you would put a bottle or something like that. It has back pockets in the back and it has something that the Kia Carnival does have and you can move it from the back you can move the passenger seat forward so if you need more space you can press this button or if you don't like the person that is in front you can hit it, but that's not just from the back, yes it has the red seat belts, these are pretty much the same seat belts we had in the gt stinger, like the top of the line stinger with suede, blah blah, but The good thing is that it has the world's first radar, as they say, in the back for There are people in the back, so the rear occupant alert is not based on weight, but on the radar, so if you have a kid sleeping here or a pet in the back that's breathing, it will actually alert you up front on the front driver's screen and if you ignore that and get out of the car, it will actually honk and text you which is cool like technology is getting better and better if you think that's good wait until it gets to the front so I'm into the gb70 on the front and Genesis loves to use big words and I understand they love the word opulence and exquisite and elegant and yes, that's how I feel when I'm in this if I close my eyes and open them. it's up there and i didn't know there's a genesis badge here.

I would think I'm at least in a hundred thousand dollar car because the interior has leather everywhere there's no plastic it's all leather it's leather everywhere leather on the dashboard now this Obviously, one has nappa leather on the seats, but it has leather stitched on all sides, it has blue stitching on the top and then it has red stitching on the bottom, but all of these door cards are wrapped in leather. it's got this carbon fiber on this door trim and it's huge carbon fiber now if you get the model below this you actually get kind of a backlit trim that actually changes color pretty well but as far as everything goes Else, the steering wheel has a three spoke steering wheel, not oval and I really like it, I'm not a big fan of the oval, it's very sporty but the fit and finish is amazing, it has a full suede headliner, it has these amazing seats, like they were really comfortable. really comfortable oh man this is really nice here so it has leg extensions finally it has an armrest that covers me from elbow to wrist not easy to find although I respect the Germans because they have an armrest that goes slides back and forth to To accommodate it in this specific case, they actually made a very thin center console and managed to fit a very wide armrest and two cup holders in it, usually when they do that they lose it somewhere, but this one in In particular it has a kind of beautiful ledge where all the controls are here and you're ready to go.

I will say that if you're probably about six feet tall, your right leg could hit the center console. This is something to keep in mind, so I'd sit on one if you did. You're tall to feel it, I don't know, it depends on how you sit and how your leg or knee feels, but I think if you leave it straight you're fine, I think if you like to tilt it. quite difficult, you may see that this is a little high, but again, that's how you sit, there is something to catch your attention and yes, these seats also get massages, not just a back massage, it's a back massage. the butt, but just like the back. there's a lot of headroom, there's so much headroom in the back that it doesn't get cramped even though it looks like a coupe from the outside, inside, in the back you have a lot of headroom and that's the same thing in the front and you have four handles of the ocean for them and when I see that I already know that this thing is going to fly two more things on these seats this headdress actually goes down, which is important that it fits perfectly, I could never find a headdress, always They're too tall and they're always pushing my neck forward, but this is perfect, it fits right here and I have this weird hump here from sitting forward all the time, you know, on your cell phone like this, yeah, this is perfect and I last one to do this.

What I have is that it has side bolsters that squeeze you in, so even though it is a luxurious looking seat and feels very luxurious, it secures you when you need it, so while I was driving this seat from Toronto, it has a great sound system. It's got 18 speakers, it's really good quality, it's got two subs under each seat, which is crazy, and it also has a biometric finger, which means I can set up a driver profile where I can put my finger right on this little one. biometric tag here, on the right. First in the world I put my finger there and boom, I actually start the car with my finger, uh, cell phones.

Now I want to talk about everything in the car that's not really technology-specific because I'm going to get into that and there's a lot, but come on. speaking of the windows the actual fit and finish of these switches are metal coated something the bmw m3 did which is really interesting its not tacky it looks metallic but its not metal the start stop button has an illumination like a heartbeat. it opens and closes it has all these cool little nuggets this center console has a drive and train mode so it has different modes so it has eco spor eco comfort sport sport plus and custom and when I push down it gives me different terrains but not only does it give me different images on this 3D board it actually has cameras that look into your eyes to see where you're looking so the 3D effect can come into play and that's crazy some people probably they will hate. on this piano black button here, but I understand if you used it if you didn't use piano black it just wouldn't look as good you need to use piano black it's made very, very well and these paddle shifters just hold up well Enough that they don't It's in my way and I can see through the steering wheel, although it's like a nice sports steering wheel with this red stitching, it's a nice piece and it's obviously an automatic, not a manual at this price which is obviously normal. but sometimes you never know, now it has two USBs in the front, it has an SS that is super fast or a USB 3 that is 10 times faster than a USB 2 and it has wireless charging right here, so you grab your phone and slide it right now.

I'm not a big fan of wireless chargers that slide out of your face because when you hear a beep or a buzz you always have to pick it up and you know you're not looking at it and because it's our first genesis, I actually didn't know this media controller is like a beautiful piece, you have to see how neat it looks like a piece of crystal embedded and it's regular anyway, it's enough, but it has a touch, so In fact, you can swipe right on this controller, you can write to hand on it, you can swipe up, swipe down, you can press, you can move it left and right, it's like a multipurpose right here that has come so far, man, technology has come so far talking about technology.

Let's dive in, so let's start with the head-up display. This is a 12-inch head-up display. Now if we take the big three, then we take the big three domestically, they offer a 10-inch screen which is the largest head-up display. The screen they have is 12 inches, so it gives an example that that is the starting point. Then you look at this 3D controller screen. This is a 3D unit display so when I move my eyes quickly it can get blurry because these cameras look at my eye and then I turn the 3D movement towards my eyes. Now you can't see it on the camera, but with your eyes it's a completely different experience, like wearing 3D glasses without glasses and for everyone else there's this 14 and a half inch wide screen on its side.

It's huge now, obviously it's not as big as the Tesla, but there's a whole rest of the dashboard, there's physical gauges, this isn't the only thing that controls the car, it's just the visuals and the clarity is incredible, now you guys can see it. with yours. Eyes, the clarity clouds are great, but this is the interesting part: it does other things and still keeps that screen, so if I want to turn up the volume, I can simply turn up this volume at the bottom and it shows me the volume that doesn't No I have to go and I want to press the button, it's right at the bottom and it's clean and again it gives me like other Kia Hyundai products, it gives me this whole spectrum here on the right side which is really nice to have.

I love it, but this is a whole new dimension, there is no other product that gives you so much technology, let's try it, and so does an 8-speed transmission, 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque and this. everything goes, but it's smooth, it's smooth, it's quiet, like ultra quiet, so this has something called roadside driver assistance, part two. Now what it essentially does is when you have the cruise control on and everything is set up so you don't have your hands on the wheel. next to you, if you start to drift in your lane it actually notices and will shift the car to the right so it doesn't just focus on the lane and if a car is coming it brakes automatically, it can actually detect the car behind you. your side is also turning into your lane, so what I'm going to do is activate my cruise control and make sure it's on.

I'm sitting at 60 miles an hour, now take your hands off the wheel and everything. What I'm going to do is signal to go left, so I signal to go left and it basically senses who's behind me and changes lanes and boom, I don't do anything, the indicator goes off and yeah, that's it. , now let's go back to the right again. and this is super cool it actually detects who's next to me just keep your hands on the steering wheel okay let's pretend I'm touching the steering wheel and we go to the right again and I mean I stopped to look you know , I'm not that crazy and here we go. keep your hands on the steering wheel so it has to detect some kind of hand movement on the steering wheel, but that's amazing since the head-up display is full color, obviously, it has green, it tells you the green of the lines, it has this kind of blue star.

Wars looks at the sword in front of me to tell me that he is detecting the car in front of me and he tells me that it's not like Tesla has the cars. If you look at Tesla's screen, he has the cars that you can see in gray of the same type. ByOf course, it shows me the cars in front of me and around me, so yes, it has full radar all the way around and here we go, and the best part is that this headrest fits my neck perfectly. Here I am sailing on the g70.

It's a pretty crazy system, the fact that they can do all these things automatically, it's crazy, this specific one because it's a complete problem, it basically has some additional options, one of which basically means that with the key you can move the car to forward and backward as you saw. in the intro video it has a sort of 360 degree surround view monitor and it also has a blind spot view monitor which are basically the cameras I told you about so you can see the cars in your blind spot visually at through the center here and you have attention forward.

Warning, everything is an addition, but this one has it because it is a complete problem when it comes to the driving modes, there are five driving modes essentially eco comfort sport sport plus and custom. I don't really use anything except eco, I'm just going to save fuel. and sport plus because sport plus the difference between sport and sport plus basically means it turns off especially so if you want to start it just put it on sport plus basically the way launch control works is you hit the brakes and you hit the gas it will say launch control readyand then when you obviously take your foot off the brake it will say launch control active and then obviously you're launching and the 8 gear just changes faster in launch mode it basically doesn't have a delay and that's practically in all the It is included in all performance cars with the m3 8 speed transmission, it just shifts very quickly.

Torque converters have come a long way from the past. They just change very quickly. Now he is no longer the old man. You must buy a 7-speed DSG. or sequential gearbox this 8 speed transmission is sufficient it is fast and matches the revs very well it downshifts for you when I release the accelerator it is matching the revs up we will lower the gears here with the accelerator how is it? the suspension and how it drives and the response is mixed because it has active suspension it's electronically controlled electric you can make it rigid you can make it firm but in the city it's really good it doesn't have too many potholes it's smooth it's like the car takes the potholes it really doesn't. you endure and again these seats are money.

I love these seats now. The only Audi car that has massaging seats is the A6a7 and obviously eight, but it's the same seat and this is a better seat. I just like this seat, better than that seat and again it's a great mule, but from an SUV perspective I would say the escalade just because the escalade has all the technology in terms of the dash, the design, but the seat it's not as good as this one so for me I prefer this one this is probably one of my favorite seats in the car business when it comes to massage seats now obviously in terms of full sport support it has a bit of give , you can tighten the booster, but that's my opinion on the seat and how it feels and things like that from the suspension as far as sitting in the car, what some people feel when you buy from us, if you're sitting in the car, I don't I feel like that because the car is quite low as I showed you with the trunk, as far as putting things in and out of the back, you will see that the car is quite low or the SUV is quite low and the visibility, obviously, there is enough technology here to tell you what's around. so no big deal and yeah that's it so if you like this video and want to see more of our content please hit the like button it helps us tremendously.
