"The G70's U.S. debut is a very important milestone for Genesis," said Manfred Fitzgerald, Global Head of the Genesis Brand. "The G70 is all about the driver's experience. We look forward to how our youngest and most dynamic sedan will connect with our clientele through refined performance and athletic elegant design."

Genesis G70 rounds out the Genesis brand's sedan lineup, joining the G80, G80 Sport, and flagship G90, and the brand will continue to expand its product portfolio to all echelons of the luxury auto market. The performance-focused G70 has been tested in some of the world's most challenging environments, including Death Valley, northern Sweden, and Germany's vaunted Nürburgring Nordschleife, to ensure world-class driving dynamics and exceptional durability.

The Genesis G70 represents the future direction of the Genesis brand's "Athletic Elegance" design signature. Its long hood and short overhangs, dynamic roofline, and high beltline characterize a sleek profile. In the side view, the parabolic character line displays kinetic form language with voluptuous curves and smooth surfaces. Like its sedan stablemates, the G70 features the Genesis Crest Grille with distinctive linear LED daytime-running lights.

Genesis G70's interior resets expectations in the segment, delivering a driver-focused experience with high quality materials and unparalleled attention to detail. Genesis designers specified genuine brushed aluminum surfaces, quilted Nappa leather seats, stainless steel speaker grilles, and premium stitched soft-touch surfaces throughout the interior. An optional 15-speaker Lexicon high-fidelity audio system with QuantumLogic® surround-processing technology transforms any audio source into a rich and immersive listening experience.

"At Genesis, we shape fascination and desire with the passion, dedication, and talent from our designers," said Executive Vice President Luc Donckerwolke, Head of Genesis Design. "The G70 is designed to captivate all senses with tensioned, muscular exterior, and rich, tactile interior."

In the U.S. market, Genesis G70 will be available with three powertrain configurations and five trim packages, ranging from the well-equipped Advanced to range-topping Sport. A choice of two engines will be available: a 252-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder, and a 365-hp 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged V-6. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. An 8-speed, sport-tuned automatic with standard steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters is available with either engine. Respecting the segment's sporting heritage and cadre of driving-oriented enthusiasts, Genesis will offer an optional 6-speed manual gearbox with the 2.0T RWD model. For easy access to maximum acceleration off the line, all automatic G70 models feature a launch control system.
