Genesis has updated the G70 in South Korea where it also sells the more practical wagon. Although the initial impression is the luxury midsize car has transitioned to the latest model year virtually unchanged, there are a few modifications. Starting on the outside, the badge looks fancier courtesy of an engraved pattern using the Guilloché decorative technique. There are fresh Kawah Blue and Bartna Grey colors along with new 18- and 19-inch wheels.
Stepping inside, the center console has been updated by making changes to the HVAC panel. There are fewer conventional controls in that area as their respective functions have been integrated into a touch panel. Even the standard G70 now gets ventilated front seats along with heated rear seats and a frameless rearview mirror. Additional two-tone finishes include Forest Blue/Vanilla Beige, Obsidian Black/Vanilla Beige, and Obsidian Black/Fog Gray.
