The 2024 Genesis G70 will set you back US$ 41,500 when it arrives at dealerships in the coming weeks. That’s an increase of US$ 2,100 but the model comes equipped with a new turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine developing 300 hp and 421 Nm of torque. That’s an increase of 48 hp and 69 Nm. That isn’t the only change as the car now comes equipped with a standard Brembo braking system. Other updates include a new Genesis emblem and a revised color palette with Kawah Blue as well as Vatna Gray. Buyers will also find a frameless rearview mirror, new climate controls, and a handful of other small updates.
Putting the model year changes aside, the
entry-level G70 comes equipped with LED lighting units, a hands-free smart
trunk, and 19-inch alloy wheels. Buyers will also find heated leatherette front
seats with power adjustment. Other niceties include an 8-inch multi-information
display, a 10.25-inch infotainment system, dual-zone automatic climate control,
and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink.
Despite its entry-level status, the car
comes with a host of driver assistance systems including Smart Cruise Control,
Highway Driving Assist, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. They’re joined
by Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance-Assist,
Lane Keeping / Lane Following Assist, High Beam Assist, Rear Occupant Alert,
and Safe Exit Warning. Customers looking for more power can opt for the G70
3.3T, which begins at US$ 49,950. As the name suggests, it has a twin-turbo
3.3-liter V6 with 365 hp and 509 Nm of torque.
Besides the extra oomph, the G70 3.3T is
better equipped as buyers will find rain sensing wipers, acoustic front door
glass, and power-folding mirrors with puddle lights that project the Genesis
logo onto the ground. The upgrades continue inside with heated and ventilated
leather front seats, a power steering wheel, and alloy pedals. Other highlights
include a wireless smartphone charger, a sunroof, and a Lexicon premium audio
system.
