2023 Genesis G70: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Genesis G70 is a light carryover update, led by standard 19-inch wheels on the 2.0T. Other changes are limited to trim and equipment shuffles.
About the 2023 Genesis G70
1st generation (2019-2024), second model year after the 2022 styling and tech update.
Genesis positions the G70 as its smallest and most athletic sedan: a compact luxury four-door that blends sports-sedan responses with premium design, strong safety tech, and a generous standard feature set. The appeal is not maximum rear-seat space; it is getting a sharp-looking alternative to the usual German choices that feels engaging to drive, offers turbocharged power, and delivers an upscale cabin without forcing shoppers deep into the options list.
The 2.0T serves as the luxury-focused entry model, with a 252-horsepower turbo engine, heated front seats, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation. The 3.3T is the performance-focused version, pairing a 365-horsepower twin-turbo V6 with leather seats, ventilated front seats, a wide sunroof, and premium audio.
