Facelifted 2022 Genesis G70 revealed

GenXer · 10-27-2020, 12:15 PM

It's a pleasant shape overall - albeit derivative. You can see a lot of other high end brand designs. The Genesis models are well built but they're not that much cheaper than let's say a BMW. The current 4 cylinder models are in the low $50k. But you get oodles more options. I don't believe this one will be a bargain at all. Just an alternative. I'm not willing to shell out $50-$80K for a Hyundai just yet. As soon as they can make a $50-60K full electric car this size and build quality, I'll be on board.

I personally like the look of the car. It would definitely be something I would consider if it came with a manual transmission. In my opinion, Hyundai / Genesis is on the right track with their designs.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, California, April 29, 2021 – Today, Genesis Motor America announced pricing for the newly redesigned 2022 Genesis G70 sport sedan. Available starting from $37,525, like all Genesis vehicles, the G70 is sold with an unparalleled suite of ownership benefits including complimentary scheduled maintenance with Service Valet, Genesis Connected Services, map updates, and more, all for 3 years or 60,000 miles. Customers can now reserve their 2022 G70 at www.genesis.com.

Having won numerous accolades including 2019 North American Car of the Year, the Genesis G70 is an athletic and elegant sport sedan offering a graceful and dynamic exterior, a driver-oriented interior with exceptional materials, and two different powertrains – a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 with 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque as well as a 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with 365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. With a rigid Nürburgring-tuned chassis and a wide-range of performance-enhancing components, G70 delivers a world-class driving experience.

For 2022, G70 has been redesigned with a bold new signature look, featuring the Crest Grille and distinctive Two Lines of the Quad LED lamps in the front and rear. The 2022 model enhances G70’s performance credentials with an available variable exhaust valve system and Sport+ drive mode. Inside the cabin, G70 now features an all-new standard 10.25-inch multimedia display. At Genesis, safety is standard with a comprehensive suite of included driver assistance and safety features, including Highway Driving Assist.

“The newly redesigned 2022 Genesis G70 sport sedan is our most dynamic vehicle ever,” said Mark Del Rosso, President & CEO of Genesis Motor America. “With its bold new design and refined performance, we are looking forward to getting the new G70 into our customers’ driveways this summer.”

Hopefully it's a typo, we get 5 years or 60,000 miles.

US sadly has a less impressive Genesis Dealer/Service experience compared to Canada.

But those rims...

TheWatchGuy · 05-07-2021, 02:52 PM

im still not sold on the new design. its less sporty and more luxury compared to the old models.

was between the 2022 and the 2021 but after seeing both side by side, ended up going with the 21.

stein_325i · 05-07-2021, 03:54 PM

Of course we aren't getting this...

Ugh. Just like how the ugly Veloster is sold as a non-ugly, much more practical hatchback in Europe. They even get an N version of it, mechanically identical to the Veloster N, but not ugly. They also have a 4-door coupe version (which is ugly, but still less ugly than the veloster.)

Agreed. Pre-facelift looks like an A4 rip-off from the front, but the rear looks much better. The new rear end just doesn't work for me. Would have been better if they differentiated the G70 more instead of just making it a smaller G80.

Interesting. I really like the look and poise of the current G70, it's very athletic and yet elegant looking from any angle. Very powerful and striking stance. I'm glad to see that the redesign is continuing that design language.

IMO, the G70 is the best looking player in the Genesis lineup. I considered buying one when I got my F30.

Chihuahua · 05-13-2021, 09:30 AM

Wagon is dead sexy. What a shame we won't get it here in the US.

Wait until you see Bozo the clown new X3 look...

Thats the most generic "premium" interior I have seen in recent years lol

Dlpfcb · 05-17-2021, 03:25 PM

Safe to say they are at least going in a good looking direction with design compared to another brand we may all know....

Vivek. · 05-17-2021, 07:05 PM

So they went back to their roots and copied Mercedes with no credit given.

Got a set of BBS reps for sale to anyone who likes this car. Looks just like the real thing but lacks the heritage

nerdogray · 05-17-2021, 09:11 PM

I rode in a Genesis one time for a Lyft ride and was thinking "what is this car?" I was pretty impressed at the time. For some reason, I had thought they discontinued making them. I like everything about this 2022 except that grill...ugh. It's the angular taper at the bottom. More ovoid would have been a far better aesthetic. I think they were going to the shape of a diamond but ended up with dog booper or clown nose.
