The 2019 Genesis G70 is an all-new compact luxury sport sedan with a fun-to-drive character for a bargain price. Genesis is a new face in the luxury car game, but we've been largely impressed with the brand's other vehicles for offering a lot of value for money. The G70 is no exception, with a capable 2.0T entry-level trim and exciting 3.3T model.
Pros Sporty, fun-to-drive character Some excellent upscale design touches Excellent warranty coverage Lots of features and tech for the price
Cons Manual transmission isn't as engaging as it could be Some cabin materials are subpar for the class Infotainment screen out of a Hyundai Cramped back seat
The 2019 Genesis G70 is a performance bargain that improves upon the dynamics of ts Kia Stinger cousin but lacks its space.
Pros Potent V-6 Optional 6-speed manual Exceptional on-road dynamics Exceptional warranty Aggressive looks...
Cons ...but are they over the top? Smaller than Kia Stinger cousin Firm ride Not particularly fuel-efficient
The G70 is the first real sports sedan from Hyundai's luxury Genesis brand, and it's quite good for a first attempt. Using a rear-wheel-drive setup shared with the Kia Stinger, the G70 is aimed squarely at the legendary BMW 3-series.
Pros Looks like a sports sedan and acts like one, too; power flows freely; interior design executed right; settles down when asked.
Cons Unnecessary brake-based handling “aid,” short on rear-seat legroom.
The 2019 Infiniti Q70 is a five-passenger midsize luxury sedan with an excellent available V8 that's otherwise showing its age, and it's outshined by more recent competitors.The big V8 adds a lot of character to the otherwise middling Q70, so the Q70 5.6 Luxe is the trim we'd pick. Unless driving in inclement weather is a common occurrence for you, we'd also forgo all-wheel drive.
Pros Athletic, with strong acceleration in V8 versions Large cabin with comfortable seats
Cons Limited small-item storage in cabin Ride comfort suffers with the 20-inch wheels Many driver assistance features are optional Infotainment interface is dated and clunky to use
