The year 2020 is important for the Genesis brand, the premium division of the Korean Hyundai-Kia concern. It launched its first SUV, the GV80, and gradually innovates its line according to the new design direction. The upper middle class G80 model thus received a new generationwhich has been transformed into a four – door coupe, and now comes the upgraded G70. It will start selling on the domestic Korean market next month.
The Genesis G70 is a mid-size sedan sold since 2017which uses the same technique as the Kia Stinger. Since then, it has competed with cars such as the Alfa Romeo Giulia, the BMW 3 Series or the Jaguar XE. Like them, they rely on a sporty character, the brand itself calls it its most athletic sedan.
At the same time, Facelift unified its appearance with newer representatives of the brand. This specifically means a giant mask in the shape of a coat of arms and divided headlights. The front parts were therefore completely transformed to follow the already mentioned GV70 and G80. The double light motif is also repeated at the stern.
The interior has also been modified. The driver-oriented concept evoking the cockpit of a fighter aircraft has been retained, but a magnified screen of the multimedia system, with a diagonal of 10.25 inches, has newly settled at the top of the center panel. The plus of the new infotainment is the possibility of air updates, without the need to visit the service. The space for wireless charging of smartphones was also modified, for its more convenient use.
We do not know the offer of the upgraded G70 engines at the moment, but there is speculation that the basic supercharged 2.0 T-GDI four-cylinder petrol engine will be replaced by a larger 2.5-liter turbo engine that appeared on the larger GV80 and G80 models. It is also likely to replace the existing 3.3 T-GDI V6 with a six-liter six-cylinder fork.
More information on the upgraded Genesis G70 will be published in the coming weeks. However, it is almost certain the arrival of a stylish shooting marriage, which the carmaker is already diligently testing, although at this point it is still not certain when we will see him. The important news is the fact that the Genesis G70 could also go to Europe in the future. The Korean premium brand is now really preparing a long-announced entry into European marketswhich was not disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
