As recently as 2017, South Korean car giant, Hyundai Motor Group, launched the Genesis brand, with its first standalone model, the G90. Created to go head-to-head with already highly successful luxury car brands including Mercedes, BMW and Lexus, its creators had high hopes for this new label. Today, Genesis seems to have established itself as a real contender, already having produced popular SUVs like the GV70 and GV80, luxury sedans including the G80, along with sports sedans such as the G70, and even an all-electric crossover in the form of the GV60.
This month, thanks to the team at Genesis Qatar, OHLALA magazine got the opportunity to thoroughly inspect, as well as to test drive, the 2022 Genesis G70 Sport.
Exterior
Always excited to experience something new, we were eager to lay eyes on the new G70. With its athletic lines and robust stance, this vehicle gives a first impression of both elegance and power. Even when turned off, this car looks like it’s mere moments away from surging forward.
The first striking exterior feature to capture our attention was the chrome Crest Grille. Inspired by the Genesis emblem, the Crest Grille, along with the double lines of the LED Quad Lamps, set the tone for the rest of this beautifully crafted vehicle; the Genesis badge itself sitting like a jewel in front of the elongated hood. At the flanks, the bold lines of the G70 extend effortlessly from front to rear. Underscoring the short overhangs are 19inch alloy wheels, complete with G-Matrix rims and red brake callipers. New air vents, designed for aero efficiency, work with the overall aerodynamic nature of the exterior design, to reduce wind resistance. A low-slung roof featuring a wide sunroof contributes to the stylish look of this sporty sedan.
At the back end, LED Quad Lamps, a fashionable rear diffuser and dual exhaust tips coated in black chrome, finish of the external design in style. The Genesis name is also proudly displayed on the boot lid in large silver text, letting everyone know who just left them behind.
