The first images of the facelifted 2022
Genesis G70 have been unveiled, showcasing a striking new look fitting of the
brand’s current design language. With this in mind, the front of the updated
G70 includes the Korean automaker’s new ‘Quad Lamps’ headlights that give the
sports sedan a particularly athletic appearance.
The front end also includes
the Genesis signature crest grille as well as shapely new air intakes and a
large lower grille. Fewer changes have been made to the sides of the 2022 model
but there are air extractors just behind the front wheels.
Genesis has also overhauled the rear
fascia of the 2022 G70 with the fitment of its new Quad Lamp taillights that
have been inspired by the soaring wings from the Genesis logo. The sedan also
includes a body-colored diffuser as well as oval exhaust tips.
Moving to the interior and we find an
enlarged 10.25-inch infotainment system that includes an exclusive Genesis UI
design and supports over-the-air wireless updates as well as Apple CarPlay,
Android Auto, and a Valet mode. Genesis has also positioned the wireless
charging pad horizontally rather than vertically. Besides these changes,
everything else seems the same.
Powertrain details about the facelifted
G70 remain under wraps but it is understood the entry-level 2.0-liter
four-cylinder will be replaced by a new turbocharged 2.5-liter producing 290 hp
and 420 Nm)of torque. The flagship engine will likely still take
the form of a 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with 365 hp and 510
Nm. Unfortunately, the manual gearbox will be dropped from the range.
