About the Genesis G70
The 2022 Genesis G70 represents the first major facelift for the brand's compact executive saloon, adopting the 'Athletic Elegance' design language with its distinctive quad-lamp signature. While the 2.0T serves as the entry-level powertrain, it benefits from a rear-wheel-drive platform shared with the Kia Stinger, offering a balanced and engaging driving experience. The interior is a highlight, featuring high-quality materials and a revised 10.25-inch infotainment system that rivals established German competitors. This model year marked the end of the manual transmission option, cementing the G70's position as a refined, tech-forward luxury contender.
