Genesis G70 Model Review

Most athletes have a distinctive anatomy, one that’s strong and fit. The Genesis G70 exhibits that type of athletic stance with its buff body structure and muscular styling. It’s built to attract attention and is destined to gain a legion of fans.

Lean Machine?

From first glance to last looks, the Genesis G70 is a well-built contender. Its solid frame features dimensions that make this sports sedan both nimble and more stable on the roadways, as well as allow you to maneuver it easily, even when navigating narrow streets or tackling tight parking spaces.

• Length: 184.4 inches
• Width: 72.8 inches
• Wheelbase: 111.6 inches

Signify your personal taste by customizing your G70 from a palette of 10 exterior paints. Among its primary colors are such bold shades as Cavendish Red, Savile Silver, and Vik Black. You can also choose from a variety of whites, grays, and blues, including brand-new Burleigh Blue Matte.

Clean Elegance

Despite its sporty exterior, there’s no doubt that the Genesis G70 is a luxury sedan; it’s evident as soon as you step inside.

The streamlined dashboard is contemporary in design and driver-centric in function. Sink into leatherette or available leather power front seats with 4-way power lumbar support; as the QB of each drive, you’ll enjoy maximum comfort with the available driver’s seat bolster, cushion extension, and up to 16-way positioning.

You and your co-captain will benefit from a full roster of standard and available perks in the G70, including:

• Heated/ventilated front seats
• Heated steering wheel
• Push button start
• Auto-dimming inside mirror with HomeLink®
• Wide sunroof

Of course, the primary aspect when considering any athletic sedan is its performance. You want a model that’s spirited, energetic, and powerful. You also want one that’s agile in movement and able to accelerate fast off the line. Fortunately, the Genesis G70 excels in all these areas, making it a true triple threat.

Means Business?

Power and speed are essential for all true “sports” sedans, and the G70 is turbocharged and ready to tear it up. At the snap, you’ll sprint ahead from 0 to 60 MPH in as few as 4.5 seconds. Choose from two robust engines, ranging from 300 to 365 horsepower and 311 to 376 lb-ft of torque.

• 2.5T Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine: 300 HP/311 lb-ft of torque
• 3.3L Twin-Turbo V6 engine: 365 HP/376 lb-ft of torque

Both motors are teamed up with an 8-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Select rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, that enables you to tackle tough terrain and rough road or weather conditions. Five drive modes allow you to call the play and even pivot as necessary by adjusting the engine, suspension, and steering.

Displays Endurance

In addition to pure strength, the Genesis G70 has discipline to use that power strategically and efficiently. Regardless of your preferred powertrain and whether you choose rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), the G70 is conditioned to go the distance.

In fact, with its 15.8-gallon fuel tank, you’ll be able to drive far down the line before stopping to huddle up at the pump.

As athletes know, it’s a mental game as well as a physical one—and the same can be said of life. Since you’ll be driving ever-changing highways and byways, mindset is important. The Genesis G70’s pleasant environment equips technologies to help you handle it all. With the G70, you’ll always be in the right headspace no matter where your life—or the road—leads.

Essential Communication

Being able to give and receive information is one of the most important skills you need. When traveling with the G70, you’ll enjoy plenty of infotainment features, such as Bluetooth® hands-free phone and audio streaming via Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, ensuring connectivity to the rest of your squad. Access your apps, maps, playlists, and more through the 10.25-inch touchscreen with Navigation.

With the Genesis Intelligent Assistant mobile app, you’ll benefit from standard Genesis Connected Services that include:

• Genesis Digital Key
• Parking locator
• Vehicle diagnostics
• Automatic Collision Notification
• Enhanced Roadside Assistance
• Stolen Vehicle Recovery

These features provide both proactive and defensive coordination, making it a real game changer.

Increased Confidence

Of course, your most important task behind the wheel is to maintain your concentration and focus on the road ahead. The Genesis G70 comes outfitted with 10 airbags in case the unexpected happens. Meanwhile, a full roster of active and passive safety features work as a team to help protect your front end, your back end, and your flanks, taking action as needed.

Among these safety-enhancing standard systems are:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Lane Keeping Assist/Lane Following Assist
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Smart Cruise Control with Intelligent Speed Limit Assist
• Driver Attention Warning

Upon reaching your destination, standard Safe Exit Warning will help protect you and your crew. Once your G70 has stopped, it alerts you and your passengers if a vehicle is approaching from behind. That way, everyone can disembark without incident.

At a Glance: Genesis G70 vs. BMW 3 Series

The Genesis G70 and the BMW 3 Series appear similar at first blush, at least in their drivetrains. They each come standard with rear-wheel drive and make all-wheel drive available, and they both equip 8-speed transmissions. Looking beyond those minor details reveals major differences. One model provides more without having to upgrade: more horsepower, a more customizable driving experience, and more standard safety features.**

At a Glance: Genesis G70 vs. Audi A4

With sports sedans, you want something that not only looks the part but also plays the part. The true athlete here is the Genesis G70. Its standard horsepower beats even the optional upgrade in the Audi A4. Whether comparing their standard or available engines, the G70 accelerates faster. Plus, its 8-speed transmission will manage all that power more smoothly.**

At a Glance: Genesis G70 vs. Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Size matters, and there are advantages to being both smaller and larger. The G70 is smaller where it counts and larger where it matters. Its more compact exterior provides nimble handling and easier maneuverability in tight parking spots. Inside, its additional front legroom vastly improves your driving experience. And that’s before you consider that any trim level of the G70 outpowers the one-and-done engine of the C-Class.**
