Thankfully, the sometimes cumbersome capacitive-touch buttons are absent. No console-mounted knobs or touchpad controls to fumble with here. Irritating findings in many high-luxury brands that take away more than they add to the experience. Instead, the G70 stays true to what works. Large, physical dials and knobs control the climate and volume. Shortcut buttons can be found to quickly navigate the 8\u201d touchscreen display as well. I admire how Genesis elevates the things that are straight-forward and sensible, and doesn\u2019t try to fix what isn\u2019t broken with unnecessary reinvention.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understandably, cabin quality is a step down from the higher end G80 and G90. That\u2019s not to say it isn\u2019t extremely good though. The G70 interior overflows with soft touch points and high-quality materials. Even minor details seem addressed to add elegance and refinement. Contrast stitching across the dash, the quilted Nappa leather and aluminum trim elevate the G70 in a way that will immediately impress. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n For everything the G70 gets right, their are a few misses. With a shortened wheel-base, rear seats are cramped for taller passengers. Trunk space falls on the small end of the spectrum as well. In addition, the twin-turbo V6 and aggressive gear ratio of the 8-speed automatic translates to fast acceleration, but frequent stops at the gas station. The G70 only manages 21 mpg combined.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2019 Genesis G70 makes a strong case for itself. It\u2019s a top contender for one of the best small sport sedans available for under 50k. It\u2019s fast, agile, composed and refined. With modern good looks and an interior that feels more like European luxury than something from the house of Hyundai. Genesis is a brand that continues to challenge our notion of modern luxury and what we should be willing to pay for it. Stretching how far our dollar can go. Sharpening our definition of value and blurring the differences between performance and plushness. The G70 rounds off the Genesis sedan line-up in a strong way. Becoming the rambunctious little brother that\u2019ll always be ready to play. With a price tag and impressive warranty that\u2019ll make you feel good about playing hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Price as tested: $48,995.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n By: Brandon Randall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Genesis G70 is a perfectly sized small sports sedan.
