Genesis previews the G70 sedan

David Berthon

Hyundai’s luxury brand Genesis has revealed its second model for the Australian market due here in the first quarter of next year. The all-new G70 mid-size sedan will be chasing the market occupied by Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW’S 3-series. The Genesis brand will become it own standalone marque from next year independent of Hyundai much like Lexus’s relationship with Toyota. The G70 will come in two rear-wheel- drive petrol powertrains including a 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6, as fitted to the just-released Kia Stinger Coupe, and a 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder , both linking to 8-speed automatics. Pre-release photos show the Genesis G70 a rather striking model – the company suggesting it represents the future direction of the Genesis brand’s design identity. Importantly, the suspension with includes a multi-link rear configuration has been specifically tuned for Australian conditions. This is a good looking prestige model and while it will take some time to gain traction in a competitive prestige sedan market I have no doubt that its entry pricing will not be very sharp.
