Long-Awaited Genesis G70 To Arrive September 15


Genesis has confirmed that the long-awaited G70 sports sedan will premiere in Seoul, South Korea on September 15.

The G70 will share many of its components with its sibling, the Kia Stinger. However, Hyundai says that the G70 will be more dynamically capable than the Stinger, a car which has single-handily revived interest in the Kia brand.

Earlier this year, Hyundai Australia’s PR manager Guido Schenken said the G70 will be “shorter, narrower and lighter than Stinger as well as having a shorter wheelbase.” Like the Stinger, range-topping G70 variants will use a twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 engine but grunt may be increased slightly over the Kia’s 365 hp and 376 lb-ft (494 Nm) of torque.

Beyond competing against its stablemate for sales, the G70 will aim to snatch buyers away from the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar.
