FactThe 2020 facelift's new quad lamps made the G70 the last Genesis sedan to adopt the family face, and critics said the old taillights looked better anyway.
The G70 debuted on 15 September 2017 in Seoul as Genesis's third model and its entry-level compact executive sedan, below the G80 and G90. It shares its rear-wheel-drive platform and engines with the Kia Stinger but uses a shorter wheelbase and a conventional sedan body; all-wheel drive was also offered. It was named 2019 North American Car of the Year, was facelifted in 2020, and gained a shooting brake for Europe in 2021.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 2.0T trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Photographs
Under the luxury badge, the G70 is mechanically a Kia Stinger — same rear-wheel-drive platform, same engines, just a shorter wheelbase and a trunk instead of the Stinger's liftback.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
