AMD can you please review the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander.
This is the best car review channel I've ever watched.
Seems like a good car to lease and enjoy and then move on from
Day 25 of requesting for TheCarCareNut to review a W140 S500/S600.
Finally someone said it and I've been saying it for years. Genesis/Hyundai are out of their minds with the pricing. This should be priced in the 50k-55k range for really the majority of their genesis cars. No one in their right minds will choose this (or the GV80) over a BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, Porsche etc.. and the ones that do are very rare. There just isn't any major benefits over the other brands listed. To really sell the car they need to make it a budget luxury with a lot of extra's included with a lower price range (like subaru- best bang for the buck for the tech included etc). I drove it a few times renting and the drive quality/interior isn't superior over the other luxury brands.
So what suv would you say is hands down the best right now in terms of lt reliability and luxury?
Why couldn't you review the 2.5T
I have no problem with the hood it’s unique
Please review on Audi A7
It is a fair point regarding plastics under the hood, however it would be interesting to find out if they are using thermoplastics, as it can last a very long time, not corrode, offer lighter weight, and withstand extreme heat. If its PBI or PEEK Ill take that any day over traditional materials.
Was this a Friday afternoon video? You rushed everything and talked super fast.
12:19 yes. Even the lift gate button on the wiper is taken from Porsche. I guess that was bound to happen considering they hired former designers from the VW AG and BMW. The interior is a bit too gaudy, way too much red
Finding a 12V battery replacement for this car is a nightmare.
One of the problems with Genesis (and many Hyundai/Kia products, too) is that their lighting approach has zero consideration for maintenance or repair. If an LED bulb goes out, get your soldering kit and a donor junkyard assembly out, or you're buying a brand new one. This may be $1.5-2.0k (ask me how I know). Also, if that pretty lens cover gets a small crack, it is the entire lens going back and integrating with the housing. It would be very hard to repair any small damage with a new lens cover with the design they have used. I wish I were joking, but sooner rather than later, we will have mechanically totaled vehicles when a light burns out. I hope this isn't across the industry, but I at least have experienced it with late model Genesis and Kia vehicles.
One of the best reviews I have heard on the Genesis GV line. Really wish I had seen it before buying my $70K GV70 Sport Advanced. I really love driving this vehicle, but your final thoughts about cost/value vs the competition has been haunting me since buying mine in December. I had the itch, just went out looking for a retirement present for myself. If the reliability is there I will be happy.
Is the 2.5T the better engine because it is simpler? It still has direct and port injection.
Hyundai is garbage, everyone knows it ✔️
I like your reviews, nice. I was driving GV70 2.5 liters and Porsche Macan 4 cylinders ……GV70 is more comfortable and better software, also larger in interior. Macan even with air suspension is feeling more the potholes, it is driving like a smaller car than GV70, quite minimalist, but it seems more robust. Thus GV70 even similar size with Macan is very different. The software oriented people who love comfort probably would appreciate more GV70. Those looking at brand name and robustness probably go to Macan.
Great car! Does it have same problem with rear differential like 2021-2024 models ?
Hi i would like a review on a mitsubishi outlander plug in hybrid 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼, huge fan of your channel!
After reviewing both, would you buy the Genesis GV70 or the Toyota Crown Signia if you had to choose?
