2022 Genesis G70 Gets The Same Good Looks As G80

• Genesis has revealed the refreshed 2022 G70 sedan, which looks a lot like the new G80 sedan and the all-new GV80 SUV, ahead of going on sale in Korea next month.
• It'll be powered by a base turbo 2.5-liter four-cylinder with a more powerful twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 likely as an option.
• Expect pricing to start just over $37,000 when it goes on sale in the U.S.

Genesis is giving its G70 sedan a significant redesign for 2022 that will make it look akin to its larger G80 sibling, which took styling tips from the first Genesis SUV: the GV80. The new G70 is also going to get a shooting brake (wagon) model, but we're not sure if it'll make its way to the U.S. market. Additionally, Genesis has confirmed that it will no longer offer a manual transmission in the new G70.

The new look, complete with the crest grille and quad-headlamp setup, is similar to that of the recently redesigned 2021 Genesis G80 sedan and the all-new 2021 GV80 SUV. The horizontal two-bar theme continues in the rear of the G70 with the LED taillights, and below that are dual oval exhaust tips and a body-color rear diffuser.

This new G70 will also use the same base engine—a 290-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four—as the G80 sedan and GV80 SUV, replacing the previous model's turbo 2.0-liter. It's also likely that a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, also found in the two other Genesis vehicles, will replace the G70's existing 3.3-liter. Unfortunately, Genesis has confirmed that it'll no longer offer the six-speed manual transmission, which is currently available on the 2.0T. However, we aren't too upset, since we weren't actually big fans of this particular manual.

• 2022 Genesis G70 Will Have Carryover Engines

A 10.3-inch infotainment screen is standard on the 2022 G70, and the new model also comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. The rest of the interior gets a more simplistic update as well, and Genesis flipped the wireless charging pad to a horizontal layout to fit larger phones.

Sitting on the floor of the library and poring over issues of Car and Driver is one of Connor Hoffman's earliest memories. Choosing to attend the nation's top-ranked journalism school at the University of Missouri and graduating with a magazine writing emphasis was all part of chasing his dream of writing for Car and Driver. When he's not bragging about Mizzou having the best journalism program in the country, he's probably on a rant about Toyota trucks.
