Genesis G70 3.3T
Ŷ AFFORDABLE: Smooth flowing lines of the new Genesis G70 give it a semi-sporty look.
By EWAN KENNEDY 50,000 km complimentary scheduled servicing for the first five years; five-year roadside assist and satellite navigation map upgrades. STYLING Big and bold at the front with particularly neat cutouts for the extra lights G70 is almost coupe-like at the rear although not to the extent of making entry to the back seats a problem. The kick up at the tail was approved by all our regular car-lover contacts. Inside, the upholstery treatment wasn't to all tastes. Those looking for something out of the ordinary should arrange to have a sit in the Genesis (see previous notes on how this can be rather complicated). The dash area works well, with large dials
that are easy to see at a glance. However, the central infotainment display almost looks like an add-on. ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS Genesis G70 comes with a choice of two turbocharged petrol engines, a single-turbo four-cylinder 2.0-litre and twin-turbo 3.3-litre V6. The 2.0 T-GDi, has a single twin-scroll turbocharger that produces 179 kW of power at 6200 rpm and 353 Nm of torque from 1400 to 3500 revs. The 3.3 T-GDi V6 displaces 3.3 litres with direct fuel injection and two single-scroll turbochargers. Peak power of 272 kW comes in at 6000 rpm and maximum torque of 510 Nm with a nice spread between 1300 and 4500 rpm so most owners will have the engine at
peak torque all the time. Both engines require 95 RON petrol, which is seriously overpriced at many service stations. Combined fuel consumption is listed at 8.7 litres per 100 kilometres for the 2.0T and 10.2 L/100 km for the 3.3T. Power is transferred to the road in both models through an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive INFOTAINMENT Display is through an embedded 8.0-inch touchscreen that gives access to Radio Data System (RDS), satellite navigation SUNA live traffic updates; DAB+ digital radio; AUX / USB audio input; Bluetooth audio streaming; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto2 compatibility;

IN conjunction with the re-launch of the Genesis G80 the South Korean brand released its all-new G70 sports sedan. If you decide to purchase a new Genesis you’ll need to adapt to the on-line marketing and sales environment - because there are no regular dealerships. Instead there are a couple of options. You can go to a ‘Genesis Studio’ in Sydney where you can walk around and sit in the car. Alternatively the ‘Genesis To You Concierge Service’ has a test drive car that can be brought to you. Once the car has been purchased there will be a concierge pick-up and delivery for scheduled servicing with a complimentary courtesy car to replace yours. All Genesis models get a five-year unlimited kilometre standard warranty along with

limousine; smooth, quiet and comfortable, as is often the way it's at its best in Comfort rather than Sport setting because it still has plenty of grunt on offer. On the open road we went for Sport, where the steering is sharp, tight and responsive. There is good low-end acceleration with only a mild hint of turbo lag. SUMMING UP Our week long experience in the Genesis G70 impressed us with its styling and driving pleasure. It's a solid contender in the affordable premium-car field, although it's doubtful that potential prestige car buyers see the South Koreans in the same light as the Brits and Germans.
