2025 Genesis G70
FAST FACTS
"The G70 has proven that it belongs in this segment, checking almost all the boxes except rear-passenger and cargo space (but it's not alone in falling short there). Fuel economy is one area that needs improvement, though, especially with the optional V6. On the road, the G70 is generally a delight, comporting itself more like a sport coupe than a sedan. Trouble is, it doesn't have much more room inside than a sport coupe, so the space factor is a key consideration if you're curious about the G70."—Ranked #5 out of 9 Compact Luxury Sedans
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2025 Genesis G70 that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.

New for 2024, the 2.5-liter turbo four has 48 more horses in the stable than its 2.0-liter predecessor, closing the gap considerably between this base engine and the optional turbo V6.
All-wheel drive docks you a point on the fuel-economy front, which is a bit unfortunate because the G70 is already a laggard in that department. We would expect 30 mpg or better on the highway from a four-cylinder sedan in this class.
Although the base four-cylinder is no slouch, the 3.3-liter turbocharged V6 is still where it's at if you want the full G70 experience. This car is downright fast when you put your foot in it. Fuel-efficient it is not, but otherwise this powertrain comes up aces.
If you're not up on the latest from Genesis, you might be surprised to see that the G70 V6 AWD hits 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. That's sports-car quick. Genesis isn't playing around.
