How much does the 2019 Genesis G70 cost?

Prices have softened 9.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 184 listings available, which suggests you have some room to compare condition, mileage, and equipment. If you find a listing below $19,806.48, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2019 Genesis G70 a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Genesis G70 earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Owners consistently praise its luxurious feel, sporty performance, and excellent value for money. They also highlight the strong acceleration, sharp handling, and abundance of standard features. For you, that means this is a compact luxury sedan that fits well if you want something polished, engaging, and well equipped rather than merely badge-driven. The market also shows 29.3% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you a decent chance to find a strong value.

Is the 2019 Genesis G70 reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a car that feels dependable and trouble-free enough to inspire confidence, with buyers repeatedly calling out its strong value and overall satisfaction. The expert test-drive notes also frame it as a well-sorted, confident sedan that feels organic on the road and behaves smoothly. Genesis also includes 3 years or 36,000 miles of scheduled maintenance, which helps reduce early ownership friction.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about making sure the specific car was maintained properly and hasn’t been neglected.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Genesis G70?

At 64.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has higher mileage or a lower-than-average price. Focus on signs of prior bodywork, uneven panel gaps, tire wear, and any evidence that the car was repaired after a collision. It also helps to verify that the equipment and condition match the listing photos and description.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is upscale, with padded materials, aluminum trim, tight panel gaps, and rich Nappa leather in higher-spec examples, but the infotainment and instrument-panel screens are borrowed from lower-priced Hyundai and Kia models.
• Powertrain: The turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder is adequate, while the 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 brings much stronger thrust; all-wheel drive is optional on all trims, and the manual is a weak point.
• Safety package: Forward emergency braking, pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, a driver-attention monitor, adaptive cruise control, a driver’s knee airbag, and auto high beams come standard.
• Infotainment: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with a wireless charging pad, voice recognition, Genesis Connected services, and a 360-degree camera system.
• Fuel efficiency: The G70 is EPA-estimated at 18 to 22 mpg city, 25 to 30 mpg highway, and 20 to 25 mpg combined; the test car returned 22 mpg over 500 miles.

Which 2019 Genesis G70 trim should I buy?

The 2019 Genesis G70 is offered in 4 trim levels: 2.0T, 2.0T Advanced, 3.3T, 3.3T Advanced.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The 2.0T gives you the core luxury-sedan experience, but the base setup is held back by the less responsive turbo 2.0-liter engine and the more basic presentation of the tech.
• Sweet-spot trim: The 2.0T Advanced is the best value if you want more equipment without jumping to the pricier V6, especially since the standard safety suite is already strong.
• Premium/top trim: The 3.3T Advanced is the most compelling choice if you want the strongest performance and the richest overall feel, with the V6’s added hardware and upscale presence.
• Off-road trim: Not applicable here.

The standard safety package is a real strength across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get meaningful driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Genesis G70?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 184 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.69% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 64.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $19,806.48, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Genesis G70's resale value?

The current average of $19,827 sits slightly below last year's $21,954.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also limit short-term upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you should be better positioned than someone who pays near the top of the range. The model’s strong owner satisfaction also helps support demand.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Genesis G70 safe?

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the G70 as a Top Safety Pick+, its highest award, for scoring the top ratings in every test, including for headlight performance and front-crash prevention.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Forward emergency braking, pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, a driver-attention monitor, and adaptive cruise control come standard on all models. A driver’s knee airbag and auto high beams are also included. That makes the standard safety package broad and useful, even before you consider the car’s strong crash-test performance.

Should I buy a 2019 Genesis G70 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 64.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.69% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 is the first all-new, ground-up Genesis G70, and it arrives with strong performance, luxury feel, and standard safety equipment.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $20,749, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $19,827 average.
• It adds a more distinctive, upscale feel with quilted stitching and valet service.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2019 is the smarter buy because prices have softened and owner satisfaction is excellent. If you’re willing to spend more for a slightly newer example with a more distinctive presentation, the 2020 is worth a look, but price-sensitive shoppers should start with the 2019.
