A couple opinions about this “review”:

1. That Genesis as built is $70, 125.
2. That Tesla as built is $43, 990 and qualifies for a $7500 tax credit in the states where the Genesis does not, bringing it to $36, 490 (or roughly half the price of that Genesis).
3. Tesla has a Performance version as well which would have been a more fair comparison and can still be bought for $44, 990 if you quality for tax incentives or $52, 490 without.
4. You can now get a Model X for $72, 490 which is a class above both of these vehicles and almost the same price as the Genesis.
5. This was pretty clearly a Genesis commercial, not a “Showdown”.

I don’t own an EV but why wasn’t the Model Y Performance compared against the Genesis Performance?

[NicksLime]

Nothing says "This is a paid advertisement" more than two paragraphs of disclaimer displayed on the screen.

[NawfalHasan]

Did you do a full review without mentioning the price once? This looks like cars from two different segments!

[JoshuaRAnderson]

I guess Hyundai Motor Group has not only partnered with Amazon but also Motor Trend. Solid Commercial, just very very odd.

[Albrn-]

This feels more like an ad for Hyundai rather than an editorial. Motor Trend is becoming the LinkedIn of auto journalism. :D

[mikemcg]

Is this an ad/sponsored content? It seems so exceptionally biased.

[coloradoan]

Motor Trend lost its credibility through once single advertisement disguised as a head-to-head comparison.

Genesis GV60’s Winning Edge over the Tesla Model Y.

I like how he threw his phone away when they said the model y didn't have carplay Lmao

[plpwheeler]

Talk about comparing apples to oranges! 🙄

[stefanek]

When I switch from the Tesla to the Genesis.
I feel like I'm in a different world.
No desire to go back :)

Gv60 was the best ev I tested I still got the ionic 5 due to all the incentives but I will visit genesis again in 2 years

[telliesmith]

I just watched a Genesis commercial smh

[TheToastedChannel]

No mention of range or charging speed. And frankly as a Tesla driver I don’t need Apple CarPlay.

[divelasterlaster]

There’s nothing in this video about range, battery manufacturing location, tax incentives, storage capacity…etc.

No question at this stage this comparison is moot given the Model Y’s far lower price. Two years ago it would have been a reasonable comparison. But without a question in my experience, having owned a Model Y, and a Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited, a causing of the Genesis GV60’s, the Genesis kills the Tesla unless you’re in it only for the software. But again, it’s moot given the price difference.

Gripping comparison video? Felt a bit more like a rushed, poorly researched add for boomers. Literally missed all the luxury tech and benefits of the Tesla Model Y. One example...one of these cars car drive itself with minimal supervision virtually anywhere in the US and Canada. The other is the Genesis.

Having had a Model Y and now the GV60…you guys are spot on. No comparison. The GV60 has a much better build quality..Beautiful and more comfortable interior, and the face recognition and finger print reader are awesome!! And it even has a crystal ball…

Update: GV60 Wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay was pushed out via OTA update in the U.S.!
