The 2025 Genesis G70 is a compact luxury sports sedan that aims to blend performance, refinement, and upscale design. It fits in between larger Genesis models (like the G80) and smaller entry luxury vehicles, targeting drivers who want agility, strong engine options, and a premium interior without stepping into full-size sedan territory.
Genesis introduced the G70 to its U.S. lineup around 2019, entering into competition with the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, etc.
In recent years, Genesis has made continuous updates, including a refresh in 2022, to modernize styling, upgrade tech, and improve performance.
For 2025, the G70 carries forward these improvements, offering newer engine options and updated packages.
The 2025 G70 offers two main engine / powertrain choices:
| Engine / Trim | Displacement / Layout | Power / Torque | 0-60 mph (approx) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5T (Turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-4) | 2.5L I-4 | ~300 hp / 311 lb-ft torque | ~5.7 seconds |
| 3.3T (Twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6) | 3.3L V6 | ~365 hp / 376 lb-ft torque | ~4.5 seconds |
Transmission: 8-speed automatic is standard.
Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard; All-wheel drive (AWD) is optional.
Exterior: The G70 retains a sporty sedan profile with a long hood, short overhangs, sharp creases, and premium touches. Available exterior options include newer paint colors (for example, “Burleigh Blue Matte”) among others.
Interior: Premium materials, heated & power-adjustable front seats (and in some trims rear heated seats), leather or leather-like upholstery in lower trims, upgraded trims offer more luxury features. Infotainment includes a large center touchscreen, Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, etc.
Main trims are 2.5T and 3.3T, each available in RWD or AWD.
Optional packages include Sport Prestige, Sport Advanced, etc., especially for upper trims, which add premium features (upgraded brakes, better upholstery, etc.).
Genesis includes a suite of driver-assist technologies across trims: forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, blind spot warning, automatic emergency braking, etc.
Warranty: basic/bumper-to-bumper warranty is generous; Genesis is known for strong coverage.
| Powertrain | City / Highway / Combined MPG* |
|---|---|
| 2.5T RWD | ~21 / 29 / 24 MPG |
| 2.5T AWD | ~20 / 28 / 23 MPG |
| 3.3T (V6) | ~17 / 25 highway ≈ 19 combined MPG (higher consumption) |
*Actual numbers depend on trim, tires, driving style.
Competes with luxury compact / sports sedans like the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-C-Class, Audi A4 / S4, Kia Stinger, etc.
Strengths: strong performance especially with 3.3T, premium cabin, value for features, good warranty.
Weaknesses (relative): smaller rear seat and trunk volume compared to some rivals; fuel efficiency is lower in the V6 trims; sedan market trend is declining, which may affect resale and future updates.
MSRP: Starts around US$42,500 for base 2.5T RWD trim.
Higher trims (3.3T, AWD, packages) go up from there—prices vary based on options and drivetrain.
