Hyundai Australia has confirmed that the Genesis G70 is getting the finalising touches on it's suspension and chassis tuning which means it'll soon be revelaed globally.
Scott Grant, chief operating officer for Hyundai Australia had a few words to mention and it's quite promising.
“It’s a different product, obviously it’s a little bit smaller in size but it will be packed with performance credentials that mean the ownership and driving experience will be quite different from the G80,” Grant explained.
“I drive a Genesis now, it’s quite a large car, it’s beautifully finished, but it’s not necessarily a sporting drive where I think the G70 will have a more performance orientation.
“If you want to play in that [3 Series] game the luxury part is essential. But they’re not enough if you want to have a sports-oriented product, which is what the possibility is for this product.
“You have got to have the luxury but you’ve got to have the sports flavour to it. You can’t have one without the other.”
“I think there will be different buyers and a different experience completely,” he said of the G70 and G80 pair.
“So to what extent will they sit side by side? How far is it this way [cheaper] or is it a Y-strategy and equal in pricing?”
I actually believe its everything they say it will be. They have always delivered where promised and never held back. The Genesis line up is a key indication of this, from coupe to sedan. If anything is to be questioned its pricing, this is Hyundai's time to ask for more.
Hyundai never really had much to deliver on though. At most we had the Genesis at the beginning. Hyundai only recently really stepped their game up and brought some strong products to the table. I find at this point, they're pushing and proving that they're deserve to be considered when you're looking at Audi and Lexus and BMW. They're giving something for people to talk about and remember.
Even looking at what Kia is bringing to the table and the new designs from VW as well.. changes are happening everywhere and not only in the luxury end of the automotive world.
They had a German team design the Stinger so that's what amounted to what we see here. Don't know the history of those guys but I can already see some Aston Martin in it. Apparently one of the guys come from Audi. You see anything Audi?
This is exciting news! The G70 is going to be getting more power!
A rep from Hyundai told Car and Driver that the base G70 will receive the new turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four from the Sonata N-Line. It will be replacing the 2.0T.
The engine transplant is likely to be part of the G70's...
Not that it is not a good looking car - it is. Just not unique enough (IMO) for the spectacular car it is.
I know, superficial and all, but I barely notice one as I pass it - could be a 3 series BMW or the like.
That is why I am leaning towards the Stinger. Easy to spot coming or going...
As part of their long-term review of the G70 Cars.com looked at "6 Features Our Genesis G70 Doesn’t Have That We Wish It Did."
In that article the 6 features they mention include:
1. No Adjustable Suspension On Non-Dynamic/Sport Versions
2. Proximity Keyless Access
3. No Wireless Apple Carplay...
Hey guys,
I've been looking to get some black emblems for my G70 (similar to this http://importshark.com/catalog/images/Sedan%20wing%20-%20matte%20(6r).jpg) and I haven't found much online. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should look?
