What's on this page

Genesis G70 Australia

The Genesis G70 is the Korean luxury brand’s most compact model, but you’re not going to confuse this with a Hyundai anytime soon.

With its eye-catching styling and strong turbocharged petrol engine options paired to rear-wheel drive underpinnings, the Genesis G70 set chins wagging when it launched in Australia in 2019. A strong ownership plan, along with solid value for money, helped it stand out even more against its main European competitors.

The Genesis G70 range starts at $80,065 for the G70 2.0T Shooting Brake Sport LUX with the four-cylinder turbo. At the top of the ranks is the six-cylinder G70 3.3T Sport LUX, which costs $86,914.

Genesis G70 Interior

The G70 Shooting Brake has a rather robust interior. The centre console is extra-wide and so are its buttons and dials. This might have looked odd in any other sleek cabin but in here it looks well-placed and offers great usability for the driver.

The interior trims are a mix of synthetics and Nappa leather. On the no-cost 'Sports Package', the trims feature a quilted design. There is a plethora of soft-touchpoints throughout which enhances the overall sense of quality and comfort.

The dashboard is headlined by a 10.25-inch touchscreen multimedia screen and a 12.3-inch 3D digital instrument cluster.

A tilt and slide sunroof comes as standard.

Genesis G70 Boot Space

The boot is decent at 465L, which is 135L more than its sedan sibling. However, because of the hatchback-style opening of the boot, you lose a bit of height towards the front of it. So bulkier items will have to be at the back to fit. The loading space is level with the temporary spare tyre housed underneath. There is a retractable cargo blind and net, luggage anchor points and a 12-volt port, too.

A powered tailgate with proximity feature comes as standard.
