El Genesis G70 It is, almost certainly, the least known model of the Hyundai premium signature. And it is not because it is a bad product, quite the opposite, but because sedans are not in fashion. At least in Europe since in other regions of the world they still have their market share. The US is one of their main strongholds and the brand knows that they have to satisfy this demanding public. Hence Genesis announces this subtle restyling.
As you can understand, at this time the doubts about the future of the G70 are many and varied. Some consider it "dead" since the brand will focus on models with greater volume and profitability. However, others still do not throw in the towel and The reason for this faith is due to the G70 Shooting Brake. All in all, this subtle evolution still gives it a boost for customers to notice it and give it a chance. Although his rivals won't like it very much...
The aesthetic changes that the Genesis G70 debuts are subtle and focus on improving key aspects...
Externally, the renewed Genesis G70 does not change much (to say nothing). In this case the brand gives the Athletic Elegance design language a twist by modifying some elements. In this case, it chooses to give more breadth to its color palette as it includes the new Vatna Gray and Kawah Blue. It also sports a new brand logo engraved with a Guilloché pattern which, according to what they say in the press release, is in luxury watches.
Behind closed doors the G70 MY24 also changes. Now includes a new touch screen for climate control and a frameless interior mirror. In terms of ergonomics, it includes multifunction switches, revised air vents and Genesis Digital Key 2 Compatible with Near Field Communication (NFC). With it, the driver can share the car and it also includes, as standard, several USB C ports and a new rear side airbag.
Now includes Brembo brakes and its new 2.5L T-GDi engine…
The technique of the renewed Genesis G70 does not change either, at least in the US. Its platform is the same but for this occasion those responsible have chosen to give "a twist" to its engines. Now the engine starts 2.5 T-GDi turbo inline four-cylinder with 300 HP of power and 421 Nm of torque. This power goes to the ground through the rear axle or all four wheels and is managed by an automatic transmission.
Crowns the range 3.3 T-GDi V6 biturbo engine with 365 HP of power. But one of the great improvements comes to the range from the most basic finish and the less powerful engine. It's about the new brake team signed by the Brembo specialist. The Korean premium brand does not indicate the size of its new drives but it does indicate that it is a high-performance device. Of course, we like its red calipers behind its alloy wheels...
They do not read Brembo but rather Genesis, making it clear that Hyundai's premium firm is betting on it above all other things. It will be necessary to see if this evolution of the G70 also reaches Europe and, if so, if it remains on equal terms. Here, at least for now, it is sold with the diesel engine but taking into account the "dieselphobia" that exists and that The days of the G70 would be numbered… Better not to speculate yet...
