It might not be available in the U.S., but that doesn’t mean that only European buyers will get to enjoy the Genesis G70 Shooting Brake as the car has also just launched in Australia.
Genesis unveiled the G70 Shooting Brake earlier this year and as is the case in overseas markets, the Aussie model will be sold exclusively with the brand’s entry-level 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This powertrain is good for 240 hp (179 kW) and 260 lb-ft (353 Nm) of torque which are sent to the rear wheels thanks to an eight-speed automatic transmission that was developed in-house. Sadly, this means the flagship 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 offered with the G70 sedan is not available.

As standard, the G70 Shooting Brake comes equipped with the Luxury Package that includes Nappa leather, G Matrix style quilting, a 10.25-inch infotainment display and a 12.3-inch 3D digital instrument cluster. Customers can opt for the Sport Line Styling package for no additional cost that adds 19-inch sport alloy wheels, a sports grille, dark chrome exterior highlights, suede headliner and pillars, and sports pedals.
