The 2024 Genesis G70 Gets A New Engine And More Power
The rear-drive 2024 Genesis G70 starts at $42,625 with destination fees included, up from $40,525 last year. However, Genesis has replaced the outgoing 2.0-liter base engine with a more powerful turbocharged 2.5-liter engine making 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. It’s a big bump, with power and torque up 48 hp and 51 lb-ft. The entire lineup also benefits from new Brembo brakes. There’s also an available AWD version, which starts at $44,725.
Standard features for the new, more powerful base trim include Genesis’ Highway Driving Assist (the very same found in Hyundai models). This is accompanied by the brand’s new (and frustratingly touch-based) climate display. Other improvements are largely aesthetic. There’s new switches, garnishes on the door, cup holders, air vents, and even a new key fob. Genesis has also introduced a pair two-tone interior color options: Obsidian Black/Vanilla Beige and Obsidian Black/Fog Gray The G70’s exterior gets some light updating too, with two new colors – Vatna Gray and Kawah Blue.
Stepping up to the more powerful rear-drive 3.3-liter G70 will run you $51,075, or $53,175 with AWD. These models see new standard features too, which include ventilated front seats, a Lexiocon sound system, sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, and a darker chromed grille. The new G70 will be hitting dealers very soon, with Genesis saying units will be out within the next few weeks.
