What comes standard with all G70 models?

Base models can get a bad rap as not having many features, but since this is a Genesis, you can be assured that you will still get plenty without having to upgrade. Both of the Genesis G70 2.5T rear- and all-wheel-drive versions are powered by a sporty 300-horsepower, 2.5-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a respectable 0-60 time in the mid-5s. Paired with the standard Brembo Braking System and 19-inch alloy wheels, the base G70 offers a thrilling ride at a price that will keep you happy. The driver and front passenger can enjoy power-adjustable, heated seats that add to the comfort of the leatherette interior. The 10.25-inch center screen offers all the features you have come to expect with smartphone pairing and navigation. Overall, this really stands out as a quality base model that many drivers will be thrilled with. For current pricing on the 2.5T AWD or RWD, check out our inventory now.

The 3.3T Sport Prestige adds upgrades to performance, comfort, and technology.

Additional improvements are made to performance as well with the electronically controlled suspension and a limited slip differential. Simply put, driving the 3.3T engine is going to be a more thrilling experience.

The interior adds a better seating option and a nicer headliner as well. Overall, the 3.3T Sport Prestige is the best G70 you can get.
