We’ve got a new contender in the compact sport sedan class ladies and gentlemen! The Genesis G70 looks the part, provides plenty of power, drives as it should, and even comes chock-a-block with the requisite luxuries. But there is one area where the G70 doesn’t compete and that’s price—because it dominates!
In this video, I take you through the car, show you what features are offered and how they work. And then I take you on a drive that includes an acceleration test, a handling test, and a ride on the freeway. When combined, I hope it give you a good and broad sense of what this Genesis and why I think it’s a true contender.
