Genesis G70

The Genesis G70 (Korean: 제네시스 G70) is a compact executive car manufactured by the Korean luxury automaker Genesis, a luxury division of Hyundai Motor Group. It is offered as a four-door sedan and, for European markets, as a five-door shooting brake. The G70 debuted on September 15, 2017, at the global launch event in Seoul's Olympic Park. Genesis Motor's third model, the G70 was designed to compete with compact executive sedans and serves as the brand's entry-level model, positioned below the larger G80 and G90 sedans. In 2019, the G70 was named the North American Car of the Year. The sedan received a facelift in 2020, and a five-door shooting brake variant followed for European markets in 2021.
