The 2024 Genesis G70 sedan is getting a mild-to-medium refresh for 2024. In anticipation of the new model's official debut, Genesis Canada has shared pricing and details for the trims making up the offer this year.
2024 Genesis G70: What's new?
Offered at a starting price of $53,000, the car is set to deliver more dynamic handling and sharper braking, the company says. We’re also in for a more refined interior and a longer list of standard features.
In addition, and perhaps the biggest deal is that the engine of the base version is new. The previous 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder (252 hp, 260 lb-ft of torque) is replaced by a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder (300 hp, 311 lb-ft of torque), wedded to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

A digital key
In addition, the 2024 G70 will benefit from a new digital key, included with Genesis Connected Services, and which is compatible with Apple, Samsung and Google phones. This function essentially allows the vehicle to recognize the driver and adjust vehicle settings according to their preferences. The digital key can also be shared with friends and family, so that they can access the vehicle if necessary.
New colours are available for the exterior (Vatna Grey, Kawah Blue) and interior (Obsidian Black/Fog Grey).
