Genesis G70 3.3T Review – Setting the Sport Sedan Benchmark

Germany has always dominated the compact sport sedan class with the BMW 3-series. However, as buyers continue to shift their focus from sedans to SUV’s, the sport sedan segment isn’t quite as hot as it once was, with most of the alternative Japanese and American entries really lagging behind their European rivals. For 2019, Korea comes in with a strong sucker punch with the new 2019 G70.  Fortified with 365 horsepower from a twin-turbo V6, standard RWD (or available AWD), Brembo brakes, plentiful standard equipment wrapped in one seriously attractive design inside and out.
