2019 Genesis G70 Review--A SECOND TAKE 

The Genesis G70 is a compact, premium, sport sedan built to take on anything from Germany or Japan. This all-new Genesis G70 is built on a similar platform to the Kia Stinger but is shorter and weighs roughly 475 lbs less. The base engine is a 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 252hp or an optional 3.3L Turbo with 365hp. All but one model comes with standard AWD, or what Genesis calls HTRAC. The only RWD sedan is a special sport version of the 2.0L with a manual transmission. The Genesis G70 is nicely finished inside with a standard 8-inch tablet style screen with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There is a TFT screen in the centre of the instrument cluster but no pure digital dash. On size, the G70 is roughly the same size as the Mercedes C-Class. Right now, this G70 is the segment leader thanks to a $42,000 starting price, 5-year warranty and 5-years of maintenance, plus great handle dynamics. All bets are off when the new BMW 3 Series arrives.
