Genesis announced the pricing details of the redesigned 2022 G70 sedan, which can be now ordered from the carmaker’s website. Prices for the 2022 G70 start from US$ 38,570, including a US$ 1,045 freight charge, in base 2.0T Standard RWD trim level. Customers can spec all-wheel-drive for an extra US$ 2,100.
That’s notably less than the German
premium competition, with Audi charging at least US$ 40,145 for the base A4 2.0T,
BMW asking US$ 42,895 for the entry 330i and Mercedes, US$ 42,650 for the C300, with
all prices mentioned here including destination. Even Lexus’ IS 300 begins
higher at US$ 40,500. However, it’s good to remember that pricing of a new vehicle
is one thing, and re-sale value is another. It remains to be seen how the G70
will fare in this regard down the road.
The 2022 G70 2.0T will be offered in
Standard and Prestige trim levels while the V6-powered models will be available
in the Sport Advanced, Sport Prestige, and Launch Edition grades. The 2.0-liter
turbocharged engine delivers 252 HP and 260 lb-ft of torque. Those wishing for
some extra performance can choose the more powerful 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6
with its 365 HP and 376 lb-ft of torque. Both engine options are paired
exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
As it’s traditional for Genesis, the
updated 2022 G70 will offer a comprehensive range of features as standard,
including free scheduled maintenance with Service Valet, Genesis Connected
Services, map updates, and more, for 3 years or 60,000 miles.
The 2022 G70 features along list of
standard equipment, including a new 10.25-inch infotainment system with
Navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED lights
all around, power-adjustable and heated seats, an acoustic windshield, as well
as a wide range of driver-assistance systems that includes Smart Cruise Control
with Stop & Go, and Highway Driving Assist, among other.
Go for the 3.3-liter V6-powered version
and you’ll get the Performance Brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch alloy
wheels, variable-ratio steering, leather upholstery instead of leatherette, and
more. The 3.3T Sport Prestige adds a Brembo braking system, a limited-slip
differential, electronically controlled suspension and Nappa leather
upholstery. As for the range-topping US$ 53,545 Launch Edition, it comes with
lightweight 19-inch multispoke alloy wheels, a matte paint finish in either
Verbier White or Melbourne Gray, and a two-tone Obsidian Black/ Sevilla Red
interior.
