About the Genesis G70
Last updated Dec 18, 2024The 2024 Genesis G70 range gets more technology but now consists of just two variants.
The updated BMW 3 Series rival, which is available now, comes exclusively in 2.0T Shooting Brake Sport Line Luxury and 3.3T Sport Luxury sedan variants.
You can no longer get the four-cylinder engine with the sedan body style, nor can you get the twin-turbo V6 without the Luxury Package. The pared-down range means the cost of entry into the G70 range has leapt by $18,000.
The G70 sedan gets a new generation of Genesis’ Electronic Control Suspension, with overhauled hydraulics and a new control system.
Genesis says the changes result in reduced damping lag and increased damping force resolution, as well as a wider damping force window between soft and hard.
There are no other mechanical changes to the Australian-market G70 for 2024, which means we miss out on the more powerful turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine introduced for other markets.
