2022 Genesis G70 Consumer Reviews

Bought this car about two weeks ago, choose over Nissan Maxima, or another Toyota Camry. So glad I picked this vehicle

I bought a 2022 Genesis G70 Sport Prestige 3.3t RWD at the end of November. I was shopping for a car to replace my 2018 Audi S3, which was fun but lacking in comfort and features. I was downselecting between an Audi S4, Audi S5 Sportback, Acura TLX Type S, BMW M340i. The BMW was holding the top spot pretty easily with it's handling, power, interior and looks but the price was higher for a comparable model year with low miles ($10-20k more than a G70). I loved the looks of the Acura TLX Type S but the car was lacking personality. The S4 felt too much like my S3. The S5 Sportback, like the BMW, is great in every aspect but the cost for the '22 with low miles was impossible to find. The first G70 that I drove wowed me. I drove it back to back with a 2020 BMW M340i and it's clear that the G70 was created to go after that car. The handling is very similar, as is the power, with the M340i being quicker off the line and a better transmission (quicker shifts). I do feel like the G70 edges out the BMW when it comes to features and comfort. The cabin of the G70 is excellent and I love the seats and the adjustability. The car is very intuitive and easy to learn the features. The drive is exactly what I was looking for - night and day personalities. In comfort mode, it rides like a fine luxury car soaking up road noise and bumps but still with some fun and excitement. Sport Mode changes the car while Sport + is almost scary...LOL! The car takes on curves confidently and is sneaky fast - you will be at 100+ effortlessly. The car pulls like crazy in all modes from 60 MPH as if it is pulling from 20 MPH. NOTE: The power and torque are higher than one would think - when the tires are cold, the rear end does/will slide out in a controllable manner in a slight drift. Once the tires are warm, this behavior does self-correct. My list of gripes: =Proximity lock - would be nice to have with a luxury car =No way to default to a drive mode other than comfort =Window Trim on the Sport Prestige oxidizes quickly =Brake pads and rotors - not suitable for a car this fast =Why does the app cost $10 per month? Ridiculous!!!! =Trunk space is very shallow =Not a gripe but something that potential buyers should know is that the backseat is small. Not a huge issue for me since I can't remember the last time someone rode in my backseat. Overall, I am very happy with my G70. I typically get upgrade fever shortly after getting a car but not with this one. I will add some wheel spacers for better stance/fitment, color correct, and ceramic coat. I'm a cyclist so a roof rack will be installed since cycling is part of my lifestyle. Outside of those items, I will continue to love driving it.

Beautiful, comfortable, fast, good price, reliable, great service., excellent performance. I love it

Bought a '21 2.0T Elite package just off lease with 22,000 miles on it. This is a fantastic Sports-Sedan. A good value new compared to the competition (BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, Mercedes C Class), it's an even better value CPO or lightly used. Since it doesn't have the brand cachet the German do, it's depreciated a bit more (don't expect that to continue). Power and handling easily match or exceed the Germans, and maintenance costs will be significantly less in the long run. The only complain I hear is that the infotainment is straight out of a Hyundai/Kia from that year... so what? It has CarPlay and Android Auto, HD Radio and Satellite radio (if you really want to subscribe). The infotainment is simple and straightforward, unlike my wife's 2024 Kona with the massive touch screen that we can't even figure out how to navigate to the radio tuner on without looking for a tutorial on YouTube... There's something to be said for keeping things simple. The seats are probably the most comfortable I've ever had in a car with the possible exception of my 1976 Chrysler Cordoba, which was like sitting on a well loved sofa. The adaptive cruise control is a god-send in rush hour freeway traffic. If you're in the market for a luxury sports-sedan, do yourself a favor and at least check it out.

Bought this car for my wife and we've owned lots of luxury cars in the past including Mercedes, Infinity, Lexus, and Audi. This is definitely among her favorites. A fantastic car for the money.

This has been my favorite vehicle so far. Very sporty but doesn't break the bank to buy it. Looks wise you would think that this vehicle would cost much more than it does. The 2022 Genesis G70 3.3T Sport Prestige package has all the bells and whistles. I am very satisfied with my purchase and it drives just as good as it did the very first day I bought it. I will definitely own many more Genesis in my future. Highly recommend this vehicle.

Good car, has an issue with transmission braking. Good car, has an issue with transmission braking. (Happy now character limit??)
