While Genesis has yet to officially unveil the 2025 G70, industry insights and brand trends suggest this compact luxury sedan will receive updates to solidify its position against rivals like the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class, and Audi A4. Here’s a speculative yet informed preview based on Genesis’s innovation trajectory and the current G70’s strengths.
Expected Design Updates
Exterior: Subtle refinements to the signature Crest Grille, slimmer LED quad headlights, and aerodynamic tweaks (drag coefficient target: 0.28). New wheel designs (18–19 inches) and matte paint options like Savile Silver or Hanauma Mint.
Interior: Upgraded materials with recycled Nappa leather, genuine aluminum trim, and ergonomic enhancements. A larger 14.5-inch curved touchscreen may replace the current 10.25-inch display.
Projected Performance Upgrades
Powertrains:
2.5L Turbocharged I4: 300+ hp (current: 252 hp) to rival BMW’s B48 engine.
3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 (Sport Trim): 409 hp | 405 lb-ft torque (0–60 mph in 4.5 seconds).
Hybrid Variant: Possible debut of a PHEV with 30+ miles electric range (following Genesis’s electrification roadmap).
Chassis: Retuned adaptive suspension and rear-wheel steering for sharper handling.
