Very balanced and fair review. I made a conscious, objective decision NOT to buy a Merc, Lexus or BMW and bought the GV70. The best decision ever, and the FREE servicing, concierge pick up and drop off, loan cars and free premium roadside assist, simply makes it a value proposition you can't go past. As a new owner you will have to get comfortable with being noticed and having total strangers coming up to you to view and enquire about your car!! (My previous cars were Audi, BMW, Lexus and Merc).. the GV70 is hands down the best of the bunch.

I bought my GV70 without even considering glc, x3 or q5 as alternatives. Value for money is incomparable and I love the original design.

I still think you’re the best presenter on YouTube Paul. Always concise, genuine and the way you go through every gadget and discuss how well they all work is first class. You appreciate what buyers actually want rather than just numbers. Very nice vehicle as well. I’m definitely looking at one of these. Genesis deserve to do well.

I took delivery a month ago, matte white with red nappa leather, 3.5v6 sport and luxury pack. I’ve kitted it out with 22” rims, black wrap on roof and spoiler / mirrors. I LOVE the car, only problem is, every time I park it means I have a conversation with someone who’s fascinated by it! I’ve had BMW’s, Audis but this is on another level, drives fantastic and the sound system is surreal. Total drive away was $101k (through a business), I highly recommend people drive one.

Only niggle is the fingerprint reader is temperamental, rear leg room not amazing.

Great review too by the way.

The GV70 outside dimensions is soft on the eye which blends in beautiful for not being an over the top design. The inside is simply spectacular, functional and solid. Overall, a knockout in the motoring world 🥂.

I bought a red exterior and interior GV70. I took a punt researching online, didn't drive it until it was delivered.
Very impressed, fast, fun and fabulous.
Great Value!

As a South African I really enjoy watching your videos because all the specifications are the ones we use 😎

[johnh]

Genesis is amazing!

I would definitely purchase one over a bmw, mercedes or audi! Cheaper and just looks more high-end. Good review paul!

[carswith-k]

The GV70 looks better than the GV80, just like how the new G70 Sedan looks better than the G80, but at the end of the day these recent Genesis cars are really impressive. One could choose them over the competition with ease!

[DiHandley]

Based solely on the cost of servicing and parts for the other competitors, it has to be a winner! 😉
I’d definitely buy it over any of the others if I was in the market because you just know you’re getting value for money.

[joshuanedelkovski]

I work at a Hyundai dealership with these and seeing them in person and especially the sedans, just wow. They look great and interiors are awesome plus bang for buck and very good warranty, euros have to watch out

[juliav]

Once I was walking in the park near my home few months back and it's bigger sister stopped by the park.

I literally had to walk to the owner of the vehicle to tell him how beautiful his SUV looks. This is insanely good looking and owner deserved to get compliment. Needless to say, he was very happy.

[swanblake]

Easily the best looking SUV out inside and out. Love what Genesis did and the colors avalible. Very bespoke and elegant. No piano black plastic and physical buttons/knobs is refreshing in in this segment. I would definitely take it over the stale Germans and the rebadged fwd based Toyota products Lexus offers.

[randyfine]

driven one and bought the 2.5T Sport Prestige in Canada. LOVE IT

[maxverstomppen]

I feel like in the future if there are matte colours available or you test a matte car, I just think it’s a good idea to point out the fact maintaining matte paint is a nightmare in day to day life even though I agree with Paul on how matte paints look great. Apart from that I’ve loved how you guys have actively taken feedback on board from viewers and continuously altered your content to suit. Love your work lads and hope you keep it up.

I recently purchased the Genesis GV70, and I must say it's an awesome car, surpassing popular German brands in terms of driving experience, comfort, and value for money. Its impeccable road presence has left me quite impressed. However, I noticed that for the Australia market, some features available in the US, like Genesis connected service (all online service), seat posture analysis, HDA, Lane Change Assist, ISG etc were removed. I'm hopeful that Genesis will soon announce an option to upgrade the existing car with online service to rectify this.

[MoAnwar]

I really hope they don't keep redesigning this like their other vehicles. I think they have nailed the design that can last long...like the BMW, Audi etc. If they keep the look like this for a while with small refinements, I think these will hold value. I am uber excited to pickup mine in a month.

[OffroadTV]

*This has to be best all rounded, gorgeous midsize cross over period.* 👍

[yasserh]

I picked up my GV70 V6 Sports premium model last June. Was going to but an X5M, but changed my mind going to the dealer. Am i questioning my decision? Not a chance. Value is outstanding at HALF the MSRP. Great job Genesis. Fantastic vehicle.

[snoopy]

I find the Hyundai lane keeping assist one of the best around. I drive from Brisbane to the Gold Coast daily and use it all the way, just touching the steering wheel every now and then.
