Genesis G70 elegantly rolls into the GCC market

On show late last year at the prestigious Dubai International Motor Show, the Genesis G70 has made its way to the Middle Eastern market.

Joining the larger G90 and mid-sized G80 and G80 Sport, the Genesis G70 serves as the entry-level Genesis model but that doesn’t mean it lacks style. With a long bonnet, flowing roofline and bright alloy rims, the G70 holds its own in such a competitive category.

The Genesis G70 can be had with either a Lambda II 3.3-litre V6 petrol engine or a Theta 2.0-litre turbocharged GDI engine. The former of the two pushes out 365 horsepower and 510 Nm of torque to the rear axle allowing the luxury saloon to launch from 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds before hitting a top speed of 270 km/h. The GDI unit produces 249 horsepower and 353 Nm of torque. Presumably, both are available with rear-wheel drive as standard and an optional all-wheel-drive system. Both will also be fitted with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Nothing short in terms of options for the Genesis G70

Inside, the luxurious South Korean saloon is packed with key features including an 8-inch infotainment system with MirrorLink, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay along with a multi-view camera, 15-speaker Lexicon sound system, wireless charging pad and an optional heads-up display. It also receives the latest safety options including Blind Spot Collision Warning, Driver Awareness Warning, seven airbags and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.

As of writing, no price guide is available.
