Genesis will reveal its G70 sports sedan this year. The G70 will be
underpinned by a rear-wheel drive platform and according to Hyundai Australia,
be both lighter and faster than the Stinger, a car which itself can hit 100
km/h in a very respectable 4.9 seconds.
In its most potent state of tune, the Genesis G70 is
expected to be offered with the same 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 as the Stinger but
may receive a small bump in grunt over the Kia’s 365 hp and 494 Nm.
While Hyundai and Kia will market the duo as
distinct, they could butt heads and snatch sales from each other, particularly
if they are priced similarly.
