Genesis G70 - Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More

For a certain generation of car enthusiast, the letter G followed by two digits holds a certain nostalgic appeal.

It’s true: back at the turn of the century, a certain Japanese brand took the fight to the Germans. Just as fashion is cyclical, so too is the compact luxury sedan scene: it was G35 then, but G70 now.

As the final hold-out, now it’s time for the G70 to get the twin-line treatment. Thankfully, Genesis hasn’t messed with the basics, producing a satisfying compact sport sedan that continues to offer outstanding dynamics at a remarkable value. Now it even looks cooler, too.
