2024 Genesis G70: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Genesis G70 is its new 300-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter base engine, which replaces the old 2.0-liter turbo. This is a meaningful mid-cycle update rather than a full redesign.
About the 2024 Genesis G70
1st generation (U.S. launch 2019), post-2022 styling refresh; 2024 is an updated mid-cycle year with a new base engine and cabin/detail revisions rather than a full redesign.
Genesis positions the G70 as its compact luxury sport sedan: sharp-looking, driver-focused, and more athletic than the larger G80. The formula is a coupe-like shape, turbocharged power, responsive handling, and a rich cabin with strong standard equipment. Its big differentiator is value for the class: the G70 mixes serious performance and upscale materials with a long feature list, so it feels like a true sport sedan without requiring shoppers to climb high up the trim ladder.
The 2.5T Standard is the straightforward entry point, pairing the new 300-hp engine with Brembo brakes, heated front seats, and a 10.25-inch navigation touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 3.3T Sport Advanced is the performance-focused step up, with a 365-hp twin-turbo V6 and a variable exhaust system. It also adds leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a wide sunroof, and Lexicon premium audio.
