Genesis introduced the face-lit G70 months ago, but the company is tight-lipped about the US specification model.
This is starting to change as the carmaker quietly launches a booking configurator, revealing a variety of details about the upcoming sedan.
The entry-level G70 has a familiar turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and is equipped with LED four-lights and 18-inch alloy wheels. Buyers also find heated, front seats with a 12-way power adjustment on the driver’s side. Other goodies include an 8-inch LCD screen in the instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment system with GPS navigation.
A variety of driver assistance systems are standard, including Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, highway driving assistance, lane-keeping assistance and lane-following assistance. There is also blind-spot collision avoidance assistance, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance assistance and safe exit warning.

2070 G70 Launch Edition
Buyers looking for more luxury can upgrade to the 2.0’s Prestige finish, which adds a sunroof and larger 19-inch alloy wheels. The model is also equipped with leather seats, a wireless smartphone charger, a tilt / telescopic steering wheel and an aluminum finish. The highlights are captured by rain-sensing windshield wipers, parking distance warning and a 15-speaker Lexicon sound system.
G70s, which differ from the 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, are slightly different, as they come standard with a sport-tuned suspension, butter brakes and 19-inch alloy wheels. The basic twin-turbo variant also features plenty of 2.0 Prestige content, including leather seats and aluminum trim.
One step above is the G70 3.3T Sport Advanced with a dark chrome grille, a variable exhaust system and unique 19-inch alloy wheels. The model has, among other things, ventilated front seats, alloy pedals and special finishes.
2070 G70 Launch Edition
The G70 3.3T Sport Prestige, which slides with the Nappa leather seats, a microfiber suede forehead and a heated steering wheel, is on the rink. The model also boasts a Brembo brake system, a limited slip range and an adjustable suspension.
Last but not least, Genesis will offer a Launch Edition based on the G70 3.3T Sport Prestige. It features a matte finish of Verbier White or Melbourne Gray, as well as 19-inch lightweight alloy wheels. The special edition also has an exclusive Obsidian Black and Sevilla Red interior.
Full details will be announced in the coming weeks, but Car & Driver says the Launch Edition is limited to 500 units.
