Genesis G70 Saloon review
Challenging the monopoly of the executive saloon market, the Genesis G70 comes with a classy-understated design, and plenty of style to hold its place as a contender.
Executive saloons from German manufacturers might be a common sight on UK roads, but a Genesis G70 lease is something altogether more unique.
Genesis is the luxury division of Korean manufacturer Hyundai, and has been offering distinctive, up-market vehicles in the UK since 2021.
Read moreThe G70 saloon is the most affordable leasing option in the Genesis range, and makes a great alternative to BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class or the Audi A4.
The G70 was ‘designed to be admired’, according to Genesis, and it’s a car packing some serious personality, from the heart-shaped front grille to the aggressive side air vents.
And your G70 lease also unlocks some smile-inducing performance, too.
You can choose from a 2.0 litre petrol engine with power of 194 bhp or a more frugal 2.2 litre diesel unit with power of 197 bhp and max torque of 440 Nm.
Hit the ‘Sport +’ button and you can take the G70 to the track, too.
All G70 saloons are rear-wheel-drive, which mirrors the experience you’ll get behind the wheel of an equivalent BMW, and there are three trim levels to choose from - base ‘Premium Line’, mid-range ‘Luxury Line’ and range-topping ‘Sport Line’.
Those Sport Line variants come loaded with extras, including a sportier exterior appearance as well as performance-boosting additions such as Brembo brakes and a limited slip differential.
But base ‘Premium’ G70s are still generously equipped, coming with a dedicated and exclusive Genesis infotainment system, as well as smart cruise control and a host of sophisticated danger-detecting and avoidance safety systems.
The G70 saloon - which sits behind the larger G80 saloon in the Genesis range - also has a large 330 litre boot, which is slightly down on its nearest rivals but still big enough to be practical.

In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
We have just taken delivery of a new VW Touraeg, which we secured through Select Car Leasing (SCL). We would like to thank Shane Newton for overseeing the entire process and keeping us informed at every stage, particularly when (through no fault of his), the car was delayed. This is second occasion we have sourced a vehicle using SCL and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. During the course of our last order, we were contacted by a number of different people, depending upon availability and the nature of the call. Without exception they were all friendly and knowledgeable and gave the sense that they had the customers best interests at heart.
On contacting Select I spoke to a very friendly member of the team who gave me clear and concise information and who continued to communicate with me at all the salient points. The same person helped with all the respective forms. During the process I received regular updates and information, even after car delivery. I will certainly look to use them again when I choose my next car in a few years time.
Great sourcing by Leo and consistent information about delivery dates and procedures.
