Used Genesis G70 for Sale near Stuart, FL

About the Genesis G70

The Genesis G70 is a four-door compact sedan from the luxury wing of the Hyundai Motor Group. The G70 features either a turbocharged four- or six-cylinder engine, and either rear- or all-wheel drive. This space has traditionally been dominated by the BMW 3 Series, but times have changed and Genesis, like nature, abhors a vacuum. As 3 Series sales have declined from a high of 142,000 or so in 2007 down to 2023's approximately 34,000, Genesis has taken up the slack almost one-for-one, rising from 350 cars in its first year to about 12,500 by the end of 2023.

What are the advantages of the Genesis G70?

• Beautifully crafted interior
• The glorious 3.3-liter, 368-horsepower twin-turbo V6
• Updated exterior styling in 2022

What is the best Genesis G70 model year?

If you’re looking for the freshest design, the 2022 model year is the first after the facelift, which went on sale in 2021. Mechanically, though, the 2018 to 2020 model year G70 is nearly identical in the US market. The facelift also marked the demise of the six-speed manual transmission, so if it’s a stick you’re after, you’ll need to look for a 2018 to 2020 with the entry-level 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder.

What are the disadvantages of the Genesis G70?

The primary things holding any Genesis back right now: (1) people seem to not know Genesis exists and (2) when they learn it’s a Hyundai product, they think Hyundai still makes cars of the same quality as their 1986 Excel. It’s sad because Genesis makes some of our favorite cars available, regardless of brand. The biggest complaint is likely fuel economy from the V6, but it’s a powerful engine and you have the option of better fuel economy from the four.

Comparison: Is the Genesis G70 better than the BMW 3 Series?

BMW used to dominate this class of vehicle. More than a decade since its peak, BMW barely sells the 3 Series, with less than 35,000 units sold every year. BMW still slightly holds the edge in performance, but if it’s the comfort of an entry-luxury car you’re interested in, you’ll want the G70.

Is the Genesis G70 a reliable car?

J.D. Power scored the 2023 Genesis G70 with an 84 (out of a possible 100) in its quality and reliability measurements. Given that impressive score, you can feel confident in the Genesis G70's reputation for problem-free operation.

Is the Genesis G70 worth the cost?

Leftover 2023 models start at $39,400, but 2024 models jump to $41,500. That jump is due to a new 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, offering 300hp, and more standard features on the low end. 2023 vs. 2024 pricing of the 3.3T models is almost exactly the same, topping out at $52,050 for the AWD 3.3T. With low mileage, the V6 and AWD, you should be able to find a 2022 G70 in the mid-$30,000 range, essentially offering the V6 for free compared to a 2023 four-cylinder.
