Genesis refreshes its G70 sports saloon for 2021

Genesis, Hyundai’s luxury arm, has revealed the refreshed G70 premium sports saloon for model year 2021. While it is a mid-cycle update for the model that was first introduced in 2017, the new G70 features significant styling and tech upgrades.

The exterior design has evolved into what looks like a miniature version of the larger G80, which had received a generational update earlier this year. The signature crest grille is set lower than the quad lamps, adding to the G70’s sporty, hunkered down stance.

In profile, the G70 gets side air extractors that Genesis says have been optimised for efficiency, with the muscular fenders and wheel arches aiding the sports saloon silhouette.

At the back, quad taillamps apparently take inspiration from the Genesis wing logo, and the full width G-Matrix mesh and body coloured diffusers round off the styling changes.

The cabin gets connectivity tech updates and a new 10.25-inch infotainment system. In addition, the wireless charging system has been changed to a horizontal layout, increasing convenience for those with varied smartphone sizes.
