Genesis G70

Price $53,000 – $64,000
Fuel consumption 8.4 – 14.0 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 79%(view ratings)
Now in its sixth year, Genesis’ entry-level sedan has found a niche. All G70 models get a turbocharged engine, eight-speed transmission and all-wheel drive. For 2024, the base engine is now a 2.5-litre unit that delivers 300 horsepower. A 3.3-litre V6 generating up to 368 horsepower is the alternative. The G70 has yet to offer an electrified powertrain, but that could change in the near future. Styling, connectivity and safety enhancements are also part of the mix for 2024.
