2019 Model Redesign Year

The Genesis G70 sports sedan was updated to a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as its standard engine for 2024 that promises quicker acceleration and better fuel economy than the original 2.0-liter, which returned 23 mpg overall in our tests. We got 24 mpg overall with the 2.5-liter turbo in our tests of the larger G80 sedan. The uplevel 365-hp turbo V6 is quieter and makes the car quicker. The G70 has agile handling and a taut, controlled ride. The car is quiet, and the interior is well assembled. Access can be tough because of the car's low stance, and the cabin is very cramped, particularly the back seat.

The 10.25-inch infotainment system is mostly straightforward, and plenty of physical knobs and buttons make other features easy to use.

2019-Present

2019 Model Redesign Year

Until 2024, the Genesis G70 sport sedan came with a standard 252-hp, four-cylinder turbo engine that was energetic, but had an acceleration time among the slowest in its class. We got 23 mpg in our AWD version, which isn't particularly good. The uplevel 365-hp V6 turbo is quieter and makes the car much quicker. The 2024 model was refreshed and introduced a 300-hp, four-cylinder turbo engine. The G70 has agile handling and a taut, controlled ride. However, its braking distances were long on both wet and dry pavement.

The car is quiet, and the interior is well-put-together. Access is a bit tough because of the low stance, and the cabin is very cramped, particularly the tight backseat. An easy-to-use infotainment system screen dominates the center of the dashboard and is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, and lane keeping assist are standard. The G70 received refreshed styling for 2022 as well as a new standard 10.25-inch touch screen infotainment system. The manual transmission was also dropped for the 2022 model.
