It might not be available in the U.S., but that doesn’t mean that only European buyers will get to enjoy the Genesis G70 Shooting Brake as the car has also just launched in Australia. Genesis unveiled the G70 Shooting Brake earlier this year and as is the case in overseas markets, the Aussie model will be sold exclusively with the brand’s entry-level 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This powertrain is good for 240 hp and 353 Nm of torque which are sent to the rear wheels thanks to an eight-speed automatic transmission that was developed in-house. Sadly, this means the flagship 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 offered with the G70 sedan is not available.
The G70 Shooting Brake will also only be
offered in a single trim level in Australia. Priced from AU$ 79,000 (US$ 56,222),
it includes key features like Forward Attention Warning, Driver Attention
Warning with Leading Vehicle Departure Alert, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist Rear, Smart Cruise Control, Blind-Spot View Monitor,
Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist.
As standard, the G70 Shooting Brake comes
equipped with the Luxury Package that includes Nappa leather, G Matrix style
quilting, a 10.25-inch infotainment display and a 12.3-inch 3D digital
instrument cluster. Customers can opt for the Sport Line Styling package for no
additional cost that adds 19-inch sport alloy wheels, a sports grille, dark
chrome exterior highlights, suede headliner and pillars, and sports pedals.
Other standard features of Australia’s G70
Shooting Brake include a panoramic glass sunroof, heated and ventilated front
seats, electro-chromatic mirrors, laminated front door glass, and a Qi standard
wireless phone charger.
