New 2022 Genesis G70 Starts From $38,570, Lower Than German And Japanese Rivals

Genesis announced the pricing details of the redesigned 2022 G70 sedan, which can be now ordered from the carmaker’s website.

Prices for the 2022 G70 start from $38,570, including a $1,045 freight charge, in base 2.0T Standard RWD trim level. Customers can spec all-wheel-drive for an extra $2,100.

That’s notably less than the German premium competition, with Audi charging at least $40,145 for the base A4 2.0T, BMW asking $42,895 for the entry 330i and Mercedes, $42,650 for the C300, with all prices mentioned here including destination. Even Lexus’ IS 300 begins higher at $40,500. However, it’s good to remember that pricing of a new vehicle is one thing, and re-sale value is another. It remains to be seen how the G70 will fare in this regard down the road.

The 2022 G70 2.0T will be offered in Standard and Prestige trim levels while the V6-powered models will be available in the Sport Advanced, Sport Prestige, and Launch Edition grades.

The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 252 HP and 260 lb-ft of torque. Those wishing for some extra performance can choose the more powerful 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 with its 365 HP and 376 lb-ft of torque. Both engine options are paired exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

As it’s traditional for Genesis, the updated 2022 G70 will offer a comprehensive range of features as standard, including free scheduled maintenance with Service Valet, Genesis Connected Services, map updates, and more, for 3 years or 60,000 miles.

The 2022 G70 features along list of standard equipment, including a new 10.25-inch infotainment system with Navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED lights all around, power-adjustable and heated seats, an acoustic windshield, as well as a wide range of driver-assistance systems that includes Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and Highway Driving Assist, among other.

Go for the 3.3-liter V6-powered version and you’ll get the Performance Brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels, variable-ratio steering, leather upholstery instead of leatherette, and more. The 3.3T Sport Prestige adds a Brembo braking system, a limited-slip differential, electronically controlled suspension and Nappa leather upholstery.

As for the range-topping $53,545 Launch Edition, it comes with lightweight 19-inch multispoke alloy wheels, a matte paint finish in either Verbier White or Melbourne Gray, and a two-tone Obsidian Black/ Sevilla Red interior.
