New 2022 Genesis GV70 3.5T SUV Road Test "The Best-Looking Premium SUV"

Hello guys and welcome back to the world motorcycle channel. My name is Mari and as you can see today we have the 3.5 liter

gv70

turbo engine so let's take a look. The first thing that caught my attention was this little gap on the hood. I mentioned it when we saw it in the showroom, it comes up here, on top of the lights, so there's a natural gap from what you normally see on cars, so it could, I don't know, go into the eyes of those people who are a little more particular, I personally like the non-sport package in this color, maybe it looks a little better in white, but with the silver or dark silver I think the chrome looks a little bit better, so now Looking back at the side profile, I really like the side profile of this car.

First you have the parabolic line that goes to the end of the car, so it gives you an aerodynamic, refined and pleasant line at all times. and I like the fact that it's very simple on the side, it doesn't have a lot of character lines, it doesn't have a lot of volume changes, it's pretty flat and simple, which is what I like, it also has the 21 inch. I like the heels that are attached a lot better than the ones in the sport package because I remember the kind of waffle patterns that were on the sport wheels and that scared me a little but I like this one and it's nice and big so I'm hoping a Many of our viewers also like this one.

Another thing I would like to point out is the roof line. Its curvature is very elegant. I really like it, but I think there is a problem because of the cup-like design. the rear may give you less space in the trunk, depends on what you like, but I think it may not have as much room at the top, so that could be a limitation. I also found one thing here: a sticker. I'm not sure if this applies to all markets, but Hyundai used to have a sticker with the towing version and before that they had the Santa Fe, but now they've changed it to, I think, which is the gv80.

They have pasted the sticker with the gv80. on the

gv70

, but it's still a small change for the entire company. I really like this design. I think it's very aesthetically pleasing. If you were to ask me what my pick is among all the

genesis

models, it would definitely be the gb70. There is a lot of debate about whether it looks a lot like the macan or not, but I personally think it has its own character, but the rear looks a bit like the makan, I have to admit, but I still think it's very nice too once again.

The taillights are divided into four different pieces, which gives it the Genesis identity and the family look, and you also have the wipers down here. One thing I noticed on the streets with the gv70 when I saw them was that they have a really nice brake light. So there's a fine line that runs all the way around the back and when you hit the brakes it lights up and gives it a nice touch so I thought it looked good on the

road

s too with the crest grille. Like a pattern here on the bumper, but again, this is plastic, so take note of that, so now let's open the trunk like I mentioned before.

This is a coupe line, so you see this angle is quite steep, it may not be able to fit. a lot compared to the larger trunk models, let's do the mari trunk

test

, there is the widest part of the trunk and then because of the wheel there is the tigh

test

part, but then if you look at the overall length, I think It's quite spacious, but in terms of the height of the trunk, you maybe reach up to my nose or my eyes, in terms of the overall height, so because of this angle and the slope in the crown line, it is possible that You may not be able to fit as much luggage, but then again you can fold these seats and make more space for your luggage, so if you have a lot of stuff to store try folding the second row seats.

I'm sitting very comfortably in my C position and it's pretty high up, so where am I? I'm sitting right now, I see a little bit of the hood or the hood that's going up, it doesn't mean it's too narrow and it's uncomfortable, but compared to others, you might not have as much visibility in terms of height and now with the seats um I've adjusted my seat to the position I'm comfortable with in terms of comfort and the cushion isn't hard but it's not too soft either, it's right in the middle so I think a lot of people will find that. it's quite comfortable, you don't have as much lumbar support in the back or at the bottom here, I guess it's adjustable and as for the lumbar support and side bolsters, of course if you activate sport mode it will automatically adjust to the driver le It provides a bit more support in the driver's seating position, so that's a nice plus in terms of the materials used.

I feel that it is of higher quality, it is thin and very soft leather. Personally, it's a preference that I personally don't. Like these padding, I'm not really getting into it too much or the perforated seats, I just like my seats to be simple and soft and now on the digital dashboard, it's very digital, so everything is digitized. There were some comments from the reviews. That's a little hard to see because it's not timed correctly, I don't have any problems with it but maybe at night it can look a little out of focus as for the materials used, I mentioned it's very soft leather.

Also for these parts here they have covered it with leather. I really love this line that goes all the way and you can see the hidden air vents, so I like that it's not really out there and that it's very discreet and now for the digital screen it's a very long horizontal screen that you see, I like it because it doesn't pop up too much and doesn't really hinder your line of sight, but there's also a downside: you don't have many different options. things happen or you don't have a big screen for the sat nav but for me if I had to choose between the two I would definitely choose this horizontal type and now in here you also have the control panels for the HVAC in the middle.

You have the touch screen and on the sides as well as the bottom is the analog button or dials. I like the fact that I can press the buttons or some of the buttons and then some of them are left for the touch screen, um The middle part is touch, it's very simple and it's intuitive, however the details of these buttons don't They are so good because there are no uniform spaces between them, of course this again is very demanding, but the spaces between the different buttons are not. Even some of them are closer together, some of them are further apart, so those are just the final details and now for the water bottles, I have two cup holders right here on the center console.

You also have one on each of the door trims and I think you can fit more water bottles in here. Oh, the interior is quite deep, so you'll be able to fit comfortably. I think four of these water bottles if you put them down and now for the glove box, the glove box is not like that. It's big, it only has a small opening, but I guess you wouldn't use it as much as for water bottles. You'll be able to fit about two, maybe not three, just about two water bottles. You have an area where you can charge your phone wirelessly.

However, it is quite deep and narrow, so for people who have big hands I think it might be a little difficult if you have something stuck in there to get it out, for example if you have your car keys in here, it will be a little difficult. Taking that out because you know I have small hands and I can fit it comfortably, but for men or those with larger hands it can be a little awkward as far as legroom, considering this is one of the smallest cars in the Genesis line. I think it gives you enough leg room for me, maybe it's the position of my seat which is up, but you still have plenty of room between your knees and the back of the driver's seat and even with your feet and with your feet . having enough room to move around so that's a big positive factor and in terms of the seating position, the backrest is fully tilted and now let's raise it if you're the type of person who wants to sit properly.

In the back seat you still have the adjustments, it works all the way because you can also fold them down and in terms of materials it is the same type of soft leather that was used for the driver's seat. I really like it. I would have preferred them to not have the perforated seats and not have the padding and just the simple type of leather seats like you can see here, but that's my preference too. You also have the air vents and controls for the climate system. In the second row, that's an advantage, you have two USB compartments and a socket for 220 volts, so this is also a positive factor if you want to have children in the back seat with their iPads or tablets and they run out. of batteries, you can simply plug it in and you can also lower the armrest.

It's very simple and it doesn't wobble as much, so I like it in a lot of cars, you feel like it's very flimsy and wobbly for the armrest, but it's very sturdy, it's good, you also have two cup holders in the armrest here, if you don't need them, if you want the center seat, you can fold it back down and now the center tunnel for this car, the center tunnel is quite big. In fact, it reaches almost to my ankles and if you want to change from one seat to another it will be a big obstacle, but if you are sitting in this middle seat I think it is a little uncomfortable because it is very difficult for this part. um for your backrest and because the armrest sticks out a little bit, you also have sunshades that you can lift up and put on these hinges.

I would never use this, even if it were. sitting in the back seat, but there are some people who really look for them for sunshades, so if you don't want to tint the windows, this is also a good option, so now we're going to take the car out for a test drive and automatically after From using the satnav I see the augmented reality camera or the accompanying satnav, it's a bit confusing because it's a bit late so when you're driving on the

road

s and you need to be agile I think this might even be a hindrance for smooth driving, so try not to focus too much on the aerial view.

I also have the head up display adjusted to my height. I can see it well now and it's pretty clear he doesn't have it. As much as you just look at the speed you're going and the destination I've set, it's pretty quiet in the car and it's a smooth ride as well. It's the 3.5 liter turbo, but it's not very harsh or resistant, it's pretty smooth and quiet driving and even the suspension too, I think it's pretty smooth. A note about the suspension. This has preview suspension capabilities or functions, so it has the variable damper that has been applied, it will pre-read the speed bump and try to smooth it out. suspension so you have a more comfortable ride when changing lanes.

You also have the camera on each side. If you try to move left, you'll get a camera that appears to your left so that when you're making a U-turn. Oh, it's not that bad. I looked at how wide the steering angle is for this car, considering it has a slightly longer wheelbase, but it's actually better than the car I drive which has a wide angle, but this one wasn't too bad. The bigger the car and the longer the wheelbase, sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get that perfect U-turn, but I did it with just one option, so in terms of acceleration it picks up speed.

It lifts up very smoothly and doesn't have any kind of difficulty getting up to a certain level, it's very smooth, as with all the other Genesis models, you don't really get that harsh ruggedness of a sports SUV, it's more like what you would expect , maybe. from a glc rather than a x3 so it's in the same segment and i think some of you might be comparing the bmw . and our tester found that zero to 100 kilometers per hour or zero to 62 miles per hour was 5.5 seconds, so it's not that bad, but it's an off-roader, so you wouldn't expect it to be in the 4 second range, it's also pretty It's a heavy car so this is the sport mode and I think you'll be able to hear the difference in the sound of the engine, there's a little more oomph, especially when you're going uphill and the car slows down. feels a little heavier in sport mode.

Mode I don't know if it's just me or the steering wheel also feels a little tighter and heavier. I'm usually not a big fan of the lightness of the steering wheel on Hyundai and Kia models, but it seems like the

genesis

is going in a slightly different direction with the steering wheel, hopefully, so you get that little kick with sport mode when you accelerate , but I think maybe because it is an SUV, I feel that it is a little unstable in the corners, it is not about whether the car can accelerate to a certain level, it is about that oscillation that occurs when rolling from left to right, it is a bit older compared to other SUVs we've tested recently, so our tester also feels like they're getting motion sickness, um, completely.

I agree because suspension is generally administered electronically and thereforeSo it's not as stiff as I would like, especially in sport mode, the positive side is probably that it is an easy and comfortable ride, the disadvantage is that for those who want the plus mode and who are investing in the 3.5t it is They may not be able to get the excitement and driving dynamics they wanted, so right now I'm

looking

at the mileage of the car and we've done 33 kilometers and of course it was a city trip. a city trip, but still the mileage is 5.3 kilometers per liter, which is equivalent to around 12.4 or 12.5 miles per gallon, which is very surprising and disappointing at the same time because it is comparable such maybe a lamborghini or a rolls.

Royce, if you're thinking about efficiency, this might not be the

best
