“Sampling the Latest Automotive Delicacies!”
Let’s take a moment to really appreciate the side-by-side comparison and the amount of effort they must have been put into being able to have both videos match it’s utterly impressive thank you so much for taking the extra time for doing that
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the comparison!
Agree with Andy
Genesis for me!🔥
The Stinger looks better inside and out. Genesis has the badge and grille
@@rahimi4762 yeah stinger is nice, put i prefer the Genesis.
@Chad Jackson nope!!!!! That interior looks like shit for a car that price! Kia looks better. Genesis better badge. It’s needs refresh. The sonata high trim looks better interior wise
@@rahimi4762 it's a kia interior dont be foolish 🤣🤣 it only has a sportier exterior, good performance, and more space
I love my Stinger. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
What about dodge charger hellcat scat pack?
@@blacklyfe5543 what about a Camry?
@@sbs-0055 what about a Porsche 911
@@chalelu what about a 2008 VW Jetta
@@kahlilshepherd8200 and you prolly cant even afford the stinger!!! lmfao!!!
That Genesis is beautiful! Wow
I own a stinger GT and my friend owns the 2022 g70. I drove my friend's new g70. it's a tough choice I don't know which one I like better. G70 smaller more nimble. Stinger larger more comfortable and the hatchback makes it convenient.. The g70 feels just a little quicker. I think my stinger gets more looks but I love my friends g70 interior. Either one is a great choice. Don't bother wasting time looking at the Germans unless you're willing to spend another 15 to 20K for the same performance and half the warranty.
Was looking for comment/comparison like this forever. Thanks for yr review. The only thing that makes me want to buy g 70 and not stinger is rear design of a car. Tail lights specifically. Just doesnt sit on me lol.
@@silverx5733 I own the 2022 G70 and the one thing I love about it the most is that I hardly ever see them on the road. I will see 3 or 4 stingers every day and I have seen 2 G70s on the road in the past 6 months. Nobody knows what the G70 is somebody always comes up to me at the gestations and asks me what car kind of car it is.
Warrant yeah but not price. The S4 is a strong competitor for around the same price. I think the front styling on both the Korean cars is a bit polarizing. The back of the stinger is *Chef’s kiss though
I've been STUNG! Looove my GT2 AWD. Amazing car.
They’re both lovely but the Stinger really does it for me.
Totally agree but I am biased as I am a Stinger owner and love the design of it. Very aggressive looking car.
@@belvederedog2563 g70 looks a tiny bit overdone
@@priyamprakashdash5613 unfortunately they look like they are going down the path of Audi et.al which is unfortunate
The stinger is hideous. Literally looks like an optima that has a bunch of extra crap all over it lmao
@@dixinuranus just bc you can't afford it don't meant you gotta throw shade !
I have a Genesis G80, but this is clearly a win, win situation. I love my car.💯🔥🔥🔥
Genesis G70 all day! everyday! hands down !
So when you gonna trade in that car in the picture
Calm down grandma
I'd take this G70 over a C class or A4 anyday
I’m getting TLX , more room and better interior and AWD although the Stinger would be my next choice
@@rahimi4762 I agree 100%
I agree with u but the only disappointment of G70 is that the back seat is too narrow.
@@rahimi4762 the G70 has a better interior than the TLX
the new C class will change that
Another great video comparison! This is a tough one, they’re both great cars
The Genesis G70 has a more expensive sporty look to it. The Stinger is a great looking car as well, but I will take the Genesis G70 any day!!!
I think the stinger looks a lot better, but I am biased because I just put a deposit down on a stinger gt2
congrats, I'm in love with the Stinger
@@pcosta1385 I love my Stinger almost as much as I love my wife.
Too boy racey looking
How much did you put down? I’m starting to save money now and I just want an idea how much I should put down
@@Layyy._ Generally, you want to put down at least 20% of the cost. However, I put down 23k, and did the 60 month 0%apr financing.
appropriate and highly needed comparison video for anyone considering either of these two stunning cars
It's so interesting to see the price comparisons against Canadian models. The fully loaded Stinger is almost the exact same price in CAD, which makes it effectively a 44-45K US car in Canadian money. The G70 sells also around the same price in CAD. Due to a few reasons, Korean cars are extremely better deals in Canada than the US, one of the few ever incidences of such in the car market.
Very interesting comment about the price of the Stinger in Canada!
Both vehicles are dope. I love your channel 💖 From Nigeria 🇳🇬
first off -awesome job on making this video. I have watched a ton of car review videos and this is by far the best one comparing two that are close. I personally like the stinger more-it just looks more unique and that red interior really pops
Thanks, Michael! We're glad you enjoyed the comparison 👍
Dude, amazing video editing and coordination. Specifically you took the time to record one to one on each car. This is unique to other video creators. Now what is left is higher qualify resolution / voice quality.
Thanks, glad you liked the video! 🙂
Great job man best review I've seen for the stinger.
Thanks!
The stinger is a fast back. That’s automatically takes it for me
They’re the same speed
@@djmaze1473 fast back body style
*hatchback
The Stinger wins it for me! The liftback feature was a major point for my needs! I can have a cool sports sedan withsome SUV like cargo room!
I’m thinking of going from a 2SS convertible to a stinger GT
I took the spare tire and the backseats out of mine. It’s like I have a sprinter cargo van.
The only reason I would pick the Stinger over the G70 is because the roomier backseat and the bigger trunk. The G70 looks more elegant thought.
Well done! Just the vid I was looking for. Thanks!
I've seen the Kia Stinger GT2 driven more on the road. However, after seeing the Genesis G70, I love the design, look and performance. Thanks for the comparison.
Don't know why I'm watching this, I can't afford neither of them 😂
Yeah you can come on Go get one tomorrow
Same 😭
I empathise when I look at the Rolls Royce and other supercar reviews.
Most HONEST person here!
@@blackdragon9077 Easier said than done.
Thanks guys. Currently leasing a 2021 K5 GT-Line and Love it. I like the Genesis luxury look but the Stinger is definitely more aggressive looking - I think for me it would be point Stinger.
I have a Stinger and I get so many looks and compliments. It's an amazing car.
This is a close comparison! Very impressed with how the Koreans are going after the Japanese & German competition. As you stated this comparison is so close it will come down to personal preference by individual. I recently drove the Stinger GT2 & the G70 Prestige and I’ll give the win to Stinger in my opinion. Both great vehicles tho. Good comparison.
Excellent comments Roger. I debated between the Stinger and the G70 last year when I bought my Stinger. Both great cars but the 7 year warranty and the cheaper price here for the Stinger in Australia and the aggressive sporty looks of the Stinger won. If the Stinger didn't exist, I would have happily got the G70 as I had been in one and it was fantastic just like the Stinger.
This is by far one of the best comparisons I've ever seen. Amazing.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed 👍
I absolutely love your reviews..THE BEST CAR REVIEWERS ON KZhead! HANDS DOWN👏😃 🚗
Thanks so much! 😁
@@CarConfections Your welcome! Keep those great reviews coming guys!😃👍🚗
I’d go with the Stinger because I can easily put my bike in the back.
I put two mountain bikes in mine, I love the room and looks of the stinger
Well, is it available in the Philippines tho?
Exactly dude!
i put all my 4 wheels when i change them just lower the back seats and you can put a camping mattres in it and sleep in the car lol
Car that can do truck things. Love hatch backs.
Very smart review,one of the best I have seen ! Keep up the good work and thank you 🙏 P.S. I’m not related 🤣
One thing to note I was cross shopping these two vehicles in 2019 and you can get thousands more in discounts off of the stinger. I guess it’s harder to sell a Kia for 50,000 than a Genesis. At the time I liked the design of the G 70 better but I couldn’t pass up 9000 in discounts. Also not something that I use every day but the ability to fold down the seats in a hatchback and throw my bike in the back or some other large object has really come in handy
I think the G70 is a perfect option for people who appreciate the Stingers performance, but are not fond of the Stringers “sportback” design. I am personally not a fan of this design, so id 100% put the G70 over the Stinger any day.
the stinger fastback design and aston martin like tail lights are the appeal.....am I missing something here?
Was literally about to pull the trigger on a 2022 stinger… and then I learned about the G70 and I don’t know what to do..
G70 all day and everyday. Personally after driving both of them it wasn't even the difficult decision to go with the Genesis but that's just me. Good luck.
And here's one more thing to keep in mind is that the 2021 models are going to be getting some seriously big discounts to move them off the dealer's lots as more 2022's start to come in. I got mine for just over 40K before tags tax and title.
I just bought a 2022 Green Ascot GT2...love it!
G70 is top small
Great video. I just bought a 2022 Genesis G70 3.3T in Tasman Blue (same color shown in Video) and Dune Brown Interior. This thing rides and is comfortable. Love it.
Thanks and congrats on your new G70! Sounds like an excellent color combo!
@@CarConfections imo it is. I am a white exterior, black interior kind of guy. I love the tuxedo type look generally but the blue/brown color combo got me.
I’m currently in the market for one of these cars so thank you for the comprehensive video. Either is a good choice, it comes down to personal preference. Coming from an RS Audi Sportback history you’d think I’d lean towards the Stinger. Nope. I love the more modern look of the G70, the Stinger to me is starting to look dated. The interior of the G70 seems a notch above too. No experience to base this next comment on but I’ve heard that the dealer experience at Genesis is better, true? I guess that I’ll find out - G70 for me
Thank you for all of the time you put into yourself content. I follow your videos and am usually in agreement. Here is where that trend breaks. I’ve sampled both the G70 & the Stinger and that 6” is clearly represented in the rear seating area. Where you have those front seats positioned is fine for someone 5’2” but if you have anyone 5’10” or taller in those seats the rear seat behind them is like sitting in the back of a GTI. They’re both really cool cars though.
That genesis is insane. Gonna test drive one this next week can’t wait. Definitely best 2 sedans on the market for the price
While I’m sport mode +, the G70 dishes out the extra 3HP putting it at the same 368 as the Stinger. Overall, it’s the same exact engine / build so you can’t really do any comparison past the interior/ exterior design, it’s really all preference.. just to some up the video that’s all that truly makes a difference with these 2 cars and matters besides the cost
Love the Kia stinger amazing comparison
Thanks for the review I got the gennasis g70 2019
Good comparison. Liked the split screen. One thing you didn't mention was how low the Stinger is compared to most sedans. Ride height is very low kinda like a Panamera. Makes it handle better
Bob, there is a marginal difference between the two. The G70 has 5.5 inches of ground clearance compared to 5.1 of the Stinger
If packaged the same, both cars have identical suspension setups and only programming (if ECS equipped) is different.
My favorite explanation and comparing side by side channel.
Thanks! 😎
Great review! I really appreciate the side-by-side (or top-to-bottom) comparisons between the two vehicles. Very nicely done!
Thank you! 😁
agree with KH
I love your videos bro 🔥🔥
Great video !! 2 great cars - Stinger for me. Plus rear seat is bigger in the Stinger, as is cargo space.
The G70 is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏿 for the comparison review
Nice comparison review, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!
They are fundamentally the same car with a different steering & suspension tune with the obvious cosmetic changes. The hatchbacks are just more practical. Stinger wins. But the genesis looks 👌 nice too
It doesn't win, it's a "kia" and the added room in the rear is a just nitpicking.
i actually own a 2022 G70 sport advanced, and i love it. i drove the stinger beforehand and i was just as impressed but the g70 was a better looking car to me
The Genesis is a fantastic looking full featured Luxury sedan. I've been looking at a G90 lease returns with 20,000 or less miles that has a 5.0 V8 with 425 horsepower or the 3.3 TT V6 365 HP that includes a transferable factory warranty. That puts a check mark for performance to go with the luxury and the price of a certified G90 Is thousands less than a new one making it an amazing deal. Thanks for the comparison sealing the deal for my purchasing a Genesis..
Congrats! I got a 2021 G90 in June 2021 and I LOVE it. I like how the G70 looks but as a big guy I prefer a large floaty comfort car.
It's close for me. I like the overall prestige and styling of the Genesis, but prefer the size and liftgate of the Kia. Wish they built a G70 L with a liftgate!
G70 Shooting Brake (European only unfortunately)
Im in the same boat
If you need the space, the Stinger is a great car, but man the G70 is just so good. G70 all day for me. Nice video!
Four months ago I got a Stinger GT-Line and have loved every minute of ownership. I have always been a car guy and at age 80 I figured I would go out in style. The 300hp engine gets you where you need to go in a hurry unless you are 25 and still unsure of your manhood. I have nothing to prove. This is a great driver's car and the look is sporty enough to attract attention wherever I go.
80 and knows how to find youtube videos pretty cool dude
@@jdbaker82 Thanks. You should have seen me in my Ferrari back in the day.
@@stephenjablonsky1941haha I bet.I'm 40 and just got the stinger GT Line 2023 instead of the twin turbo GT2, I don't need the extra HP either love this car so much so far.
Well I was just faced with this very decision and I went with the stinger GT2. Very happy!
Great review . I would go G70 It has better styling I think .
I just order the stinger, only I had to go all out and get the scorpion edition, go hard or go home! only problem is i gotta wait till jan or feb to get it, and it's only Oct, great vlog and the stinger is the one for me!!
Let’s not forget how The genesis seat hugs your when it’s in sports mode and sport plus
Those new Kia Stinger wheels look so nice!
Lol the funny part about the stingers is they just started making them in 2018 and 2022 is supposedly the last production year
The genesis is too small, I'll take the Stinger hands down...
Exactly. The G70 is great for a single person. You include any more people and forget it. The trunk of the G70 is small, and the back seat is almost a joke…
@@jasonfurtado3758 nobody needs a 4 door sedan for a single person. what r u a fuckin hulk?
@@ashishshrestha2803 Lots of single people like 4-door cars for convenience, including me. And I have friends I drive around occasionally, so I would like them to feel comfortable in the back seat. So, I don’t see the issue.
Get the G80
@@ashishshrestha2803 No one wants a little ass car single or not...
G70 all day !!! And you guys are killing it with these comparison videos!!
Thanks man!
I have '21 Stinger which cost thousands less than either of these models. I got to look at a G70 just this morning....definitely more luxurious interior and higher setting. I wasn't looking for bells and whistles. I was after the 3.4 liter twin turbo engine at thousands less. I love my stinger but am sure the G70 would put the same smile on my face.
The stinger only has those beautiful quad tips. But the Genesis G70 got everything plus luxury appeal. I bought a G70 3.3t Sport Prestige RWD in Black (it's a slight pearl with flakes, not a flat black, amazing paint job!) with Gray interior. Constantly getting looks and people shocked how nice Korean Luxury can be. The power slides and donuts are amazing! Can't wait to tune it with an OBDII tune getting it to 450+hp and 450+ft/lb tq. I don't care about trunk space, so much so that I used the entire G70 trunk for subwoofers lol if I cared about space, I'd buy an SUV (which my wife has)
I'm in the exact same boat. Wife got a 22 Tucson Hybrid. Me, I just want the horsepower and nobody in my back seat. 😁
Very useful comparison thanks
Glad you enjoyed!
great video thank you
I have a Stingergt2 and it's just a blast to drive. Have many mods dealership says that it has 560 bhp. Traded my Cadillac CT6 for it. Love the car.
Can't go wrong with either car!! I kinda prefer the exterior looks of the Stinger and the interior materials of the G70! By the way with a quick tune these cars become mush faster! Great job guys 👏👍
Can**
I’ve driven both. Being over 6’ tall I would have to go with the Stinger. My head touches the roof of the G70.
Good review!!
Thanks!
beautiful machines, I think Genesis is more familiar and Stinger sporting. Same beastie, love it .
I purchased the 2022 G70 Havana Red Sport Prestige a month ago. I have always loved Genesis Cars. (Had a 2019 g80 before this and it was my favorite car of all! I didn’t care for the interior nor the exterior of new G80’s.Really didn’t like price tag either!) My daughter and mom own a Kia so I wanted something different. The only advantage I see is the trunk space. I think the genesis is a sleeker car than the Stinger and am enjoying mine!
I went with the Stinger GT 2. It looks more aggressive and the hatch back was the highlight fir me.
This video really helped me decide. I'm definitely going to keep my Tesla model 3.
Still love the Stinger. Dopest car out there, currently.
Agree totally but I am biased as I have one.
@@belvederedog2563 I want one...
@@hidanhan Hope you do eventually get one. Best car I have ever owned and I have had some brilliant cars in the past.
I have a G70 and i love it... I used to be a BMW person but that has now changed. dana t.
i like the genesis because it has a more elegant look. suit and tie look. both are great!! gvreat job fellas!!!
If you actually take the time to drive both, the G70 wins. The cars are so neck to neck that you actually have to see them in person and drive them to make your final decision.
Well that's just your opinion. I've messaged people on IG who are car reviewer's and they prefer stinger over g70.
G70 looks very classy and same power train that does it 4 me
I lean towards the Stinger. The hatch design Looks sporty but I can put my bike and camera equipment no problem. I have an older model Maserati and the Stinger puts me in the mind of that Twin Turbo coup modernized.
As far as functionality goes, especially as a daily driver, the stinger is a no brainer but I can’t help but dig the g70 headlight design and overall elegant look this coming from a stinger gt owner. Never imagine I would willingly spend money on a Kia product but here I am driving a Kia product….and after putting 15k miles on the car over the last 8 months I am still pleasantly surprised how much I like this vehicle. I was in need of a sporty and quick four door sedan and my options were a scat pack charger or stinger. Ultimately the Kia warranty and a good price on the stinger is what sold me. No regrets thus far and haven’t heard too many complaints.
Can you do 2021 Dodge Durango vs 2021 Ford Explorer in the next faceoff comparison
but he never compared something against to the 2021 Dodge Durango thats why
I’m getting the g70 3.3t Awd as my first car 🙃the stinger is nice though it’s what you prefer
Love them both!!
I was split between these two back in Aug when shopping. Went back and forth several times. Then I saw the gv70 and went with that.
Drove both, took that GT2 home. It just hitt different!!!
Does the G70 have interior ambient lighting? The GT2 does, with the amount of color combinations rivaling Mercedes.
Fast and the furious interior lighting fad, will wear out quickly.
G70 - No it does not. Stinger does.
Compared the 2022 Stinger gt line vs the g70 2.0t and the stinger is a slam dunk and the many updates now include a 2.5t with 300hp
I LOVE BOTH CARS.. THEY HAVE PUT OUT SOME SERIOUS CARS FOR THE DOLLAR. NOTHING IS BETTER FOR THE $$ YOU SPEND !!!
The only thing I kinda dislike about the G70 is the half-digital instrument cluster, I know that they still offer a fully digital instrument cluster in the Asian and Korean market and they just kinda cheaped out for the NA market but I wish if they gave the NA version something similar to the Corvette C7 or Honda Civic's instrument clusters by putting the digital part in the middle and not on the side
They're both on par with each other, and gorgeous vehicles, but I prefer the Genesis style overall.
Rear seat leg room is a show stopper for me on the G70. I have the 2022 Stinger Scorpion.
In Australia, the 2021 3.3L Stinger GT(2) is AUD$68,565 driveaway and the 2021 3.3L Genesis G70 is AUD$85,884 driveaway. That's a AUD$17,000 difference. I bought a Stinger.
I typically want luxury items in the cabin, exceptional sound system, elegant looks, & performance to move. Probably leaning towards the Genesis, but neither will be ignored. 🎯🔥👍🏾
Stinger. I have a GT2 and will definitely upgrade.
To what? GT2 is top of the line.
LOOOKS GOOD.
I believe another big difference is the awd g70 has an lsd and you can transfer 100% power to the rear wheels.
G70 Monday thru Friday Stinger for the weekend
Went with the Stinger GT2. Only choice for me since I need a car seat for my kiddos. Perhaps I’ll trade-in for a G70 when they get older, and I don’t need to tote around so much stuff. Can’t complain though. This car is badass!
I'm a fan of the genesis anesthetic... so clean
Was the G70 free 3 year service used in the comparison. How much $ is that?
