Genesis has confirmed that the long-awaited G70
sports sedan will premiere in Seoul, South Korea on September 15.
The G70 will share many of its components with its
sibling, the Kia Stinger. However, Hyundai says that the G70 will be more
dynamically capable than the Stinger, a car which has single-handily revived
interest in the Kia brand.
Earlier this year, Hyundai Australia’s PR manager
Guido Schenken said the G70 will be “shorter, narrower and lighter than Stinger
as well as having a shorter wheelbase.” Like the Stinger, range-topping G70
variants will use a twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 engine but grunt may be increased
slightly over the Kia’s 365 hp and 494 Nm of torque.
Beyond competing against its stablemate for sales,
the G70 will aim to snatch buyers away from the likes of Audi, BMW,
Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar.
