DOHA: Genesis has officially launched its compact G70 luxury sedan in the Middle East, completing the ambitious brand's core sedan line-up. The all-new Genesis G70 will be introduced in Qatar during Ramadan and will be available at Skyline Automotive, the official distribution partner of the brand in Qatar.
Engineered as a dynamic car with strong appeal to younger customers and more enthusiastic drivers, the G70 joins the flagship G90 large sedan and mid-sized G80 and G80 Sport, once again demonstrating the commitment to excellence and authenticity that underpins the world's newest luxury auto brand.
The Genesis G70 is the latest representation of the brand's rapidly evolving DNA, with its graceful and dynamic exterior styling, elegant and intuitively designed interior, and choice of two different powertrains: turbocharged 3.3-liter petrol V6 and 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol I4.
'Genesis has been very well received in the Middle East, and the Genesis G70 will be an exciting new chapter in our story, said Altar Yilmaz, Genesis General Manager for the Africa and Middle East region. 'For many of our potential customers, this is the Genesis they have been waiting for.
With larger G80 and G90 models already growing a strong base of loyal customers, it is expected the compact model will add significantly to the brand's appeal in the competitive Middle East luxury car market.
The all-new G70 showcases the future direction of the Genesis brand's ‘Athletic Elegance' design identity. This visual philosophy is represented in the exterior styling, capturing the essence of the Genesis DNA to bring to reality a superbly crafted sports sedan.
The long hood and short front overhang, elegant roofline and assertive multi-spoke alloy wheels combine to form a sleek, dynamic profile, subtly highlighted by chrome aero trim, hockey stick daylight opening and parabolic sidelines.
From the front and side, the prominent crest-type grille, character lines extending from the hood emblem, and pronounced air intakes, communicate muscular performance. Two distinctive linear LED DRLs on each side of the large crest grille foreshadow the future Genesis signature quad lamps.
The G70's interior is configured to prioritize an excellent user experience, with superb fit and finish throughout. The interior packaging reflects simplicity, with an emphasis on genuine functionality instead of gimmickry. A horizontal layout brings a sense of stability, with intuitively laid out switchgear and a comfortable, assertive sport steering wheel.
The G70 offers two powertrains in the Middle East region a 3.3-liter V6 petrol turbo and 2.0-liter I4 petrol turbo. The Lambda II 3.3-liter V6 turbo GDI engine is the heart of the enthusiast-focused G70 Sport, with 370 ps and maximum torque of 52.0 kg.m (510 N.m) 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 4.7 seconds, and a top speed of 270 km/h.
