If you’re curious about what’s fresh for the 2025 Genesis G70, we’ve got you covered. This year, Genesis has introduced a sleek new color: Burleigh Blue Matte. It’s a subtle yet stylish addition that keeps the G70 looking sharp and sophisticated.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Alright, let’s talk about the money. The 2025 Genesis G70 is priced between $43,250 and $56,100, depending on the trim and options you choose. Here’s a quick breakdown for you:
- 2.5T: $43,250
- 2.5T Sport Prestige: $47,450
- 3.3T Sport Advanced: $51,700
- 3.3T Sport Advanced Prestige: $56,100
Now, if you’re wondering which one to go for, our top pick is the 3.3T Sport Advanced model. Why? Because it brings the perfect mix of power and luxury without breaking the bank. The older 2.0-liter turbo engine left us wanting more, but the new 2.5-liter turbo four, introduced last year, is quite impressive. However, the 3.3T version steals the show with its extra features and performance upgrades.
Base Engine: 2.5T Turbocharged Four-Cylinder
The base model comes with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, pumping out 300 horsepower. It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, but you can opt for all-wheel drive if that’s your thing. You’ll definitely feel the extra power compared to the old engine, making for a more thrilling drive.
Performance Highlights
- Smooth Ride and Handling: The G70 is known for its smooth ride and balanced handling. It glides over bumps and stays composed during those fun, twisty road drives.
- Adaptive Dampers: The 3.3T model takes it up a notch with adaptive dampers, allowing you to adjust the ride firmness. So whether you’re cruising or feeling sporty, it adapts to your needs.
- Steering Feedback: The steering is precise and responsive, making you feel connected to the road. You can even tweak the effort through different drive modes to match your driving style.
0–60 MPH Times
Now, for the speed lovers out there, here are the juicy details:
- 3.3T Sport Advanced: This beast, with its 365-horsepower twin-turbo 3.3-liter V-6, rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. That’s faster than many of its German competitors!
- 2.5T Turbo Four-Cylinder: While we haven’t tested the new 300-hp 2.5-liter turbo four yet, it’s expected to beat the old 2.0-liter turbo’s 5.4 seconds to 60 mph, thanks to an extra 48 horses.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe
Let’s talk about fuel efficiency. The new 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder isn’t quite as efficient as the 2.0-liter it replaces. The rear-wheel drive 2.5T is rated at 21 mpg city and 29 highway, which is a slight drop from the previous engine. If you opt for all-wheel drive, those numbers change to 20 mpg city and 28 highway.
The EPA rates the twin-turbo V-6 at 17 mpg city and 25 highway for rear-wheel drive, with the all-wheel drive version getting 23 mpg highway. When we tested the 3.3T on our highway route, it delivered an impressive 29 mpg.
2025 Genesis G70 Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Stepping inside the G70 is like entering a world of luxury. The interior is adorned with inviting materials, decorative stitching, solid switchgear, and top-notch build quality. The driver-centric design and intuitive controls make it a joy for driving enthusiasts. Unlike some rivals, Genesis avoids the gimmicks—no fake carbon-fiber bits or flat-bottom steering wheels here.
However, getting in and out of the driver’s seat can be a bit tricky due to its position next to the B-pillar. Once inside, the front seats strike a nice balance between comfort and sportiness. But, rear-seat legroom is tight, and there’s not much space under the front seats for rear passengers’ feet.
When it comes to storage, the G70 offers a handy tray at the front of the center console, perfect for your smartphone and small items. Unfortunately, the door pockets are quite small, and the center console bin could use an organizer. On the bright side, the trunk is fairly spacious for a compact sedan.
