Overview

The 2024 Genesis G70 is a compact luxury sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $40,000. For that price, it mainly competes with the 2024 Acura TLX, the 2024 BMW 3 Series, and the 2024 Audi A4. Between 2 trims, the G70 offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 capable of making 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 305 horsepower-making 3.3L turbocharged V6 engine. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Genesis G70 reaches 60 mph from zero in 6.2 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.9 seconds with the 3.3L turbocharged V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Genesis G70 can manage a combined fuel economy between 20 and 25 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 12 striking colors the Genesis G70 comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The Genesis G70 offers an interesting package for those who are looking for a compact luxury sedan. The segment is dominated by German automakers and it is hard to beat the aspirational factor of the Germans in the luxury car market. Rivals like the 3 Series are known for their driving dynamics and fun-to-drive nature. But the 2024 Genesis G70 offers sporty handling and quick acceleration with its V6 powertrain. The 2024 Genesis G70 seems like a good option in the segment if you can compromise with rear seat space and cargo area.
