Genesis has made a name for itself with cars that defy traditional luxury brand logic. The Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) subsidiary offers a range of models that, while not cheap, are far from the economic heavyweights that their European counterparts are. The G70 is integral to the Genesis lineup, bringing competent sports sedan performance with striking styling and great tech. The car got a facelift for the 2022 model year, which also ended its manual transmission option. For 2024, Genesis is updating the car again, this time with a new turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and an updated interior.
The 2024 G70 retains its twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 option, and Genesis equips all variants with a new Brembo braking system. Genesis has yet to announce pricing or exact release date details at the time of writing. However, expect the car to land in early 2024 with a price point slightly higher than its current starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of around $40,000.
The G70 has always been a looker; the 2024 model will continue that tradition. It retains its striking split-LED running lights and large honeycomb grille, and though it’s of modest size, the car’s sculpted sides and flowing lines give it a sense of grandeur. Genesis revised its logos for 2024, with the G70 getting a Guilloche pattern engraved into the metal. There are also two new exterior colors: Vatna Gray and Kawah Blue. Genesis says the “volcanic landscapes of Iceland and Indonesia” inspired the colors.
While the G70 carries on with two engine choices in 2024, Genesis has enhanced the entry-level turbo-four. The automaker gave the 2.5-liter unit a boost to 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque—an increase of 48 hp over the outgoing car. The available twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 makes 365 hp and 376 pound-feet of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission, new Brembo performance brakes, and rear-wheel drive come standard. However, some configurations are available with all-wheel drive.
Genesis has yet to detail the 2024 G70’s safety equipment, but the car should retain the standard and available features offered in 2023. The list includes standard automatic emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning, Highway Driving Assist, lane-keeping assistance and lane-departure warning, a rearview camera, and a safe-exit system. That gear helped the car earn a Top Safety Pick+ rating for the 2022 calendar year from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). However, the Institute has yet to subject the G70 to its updated side-crash standards.
