Overall Observations
Redesigned for 2022, the Genesis G70 compact sports sedan may
not get the acclaim of its European competitors, but it’s every bit as
appealing. For starters, its handsome, distinctive styling sets it apart
from other luxury brands’ midsize 4-doors.
Our test car’s 3.3-liter V6 (365 hp) and all-wheel drive system
delivered strong acceleration, although we experienced some throttle
delay. Also, the transmission shifted harshly at times, the brakes were
touchy, and fuel economy, at 20 mpg in combined driving, is subpar.
But the G70’s suspension offers a pleasing balance of ride comfort and
sporty handling.
An attractive, upscale passenger cabin features a new, eye-catching
10-inch touch-screen infotainment display. There’s loads of other
technology and creature comforts, too, including a navigation system,
heated front seats and steering wheel, and LED headlights with auto
high beams. The backseat is a little short on space, though, and a high
rear deck restricts visibility.
A long list of advanced safety features, including a new frontcenter
airbag, is standard. Genesis delivers all of this, plus a stellar
warranty and 3 years/36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance, for
thousands less than the competition.
