The Genesis G70 wants off its leash — badly.
With a gym-toned bod, short wheelbase, Drive Mode tuned to SPORT+ and 365-horsepower twin-turbo V-6 at the ready in 3.3T trim, the subcompact sedan is the brand's greyhound. It's gotta run. But like finding room for your dog to really let loose in suburban America, it ain't an easy thing to do.
I took it on a morning rush hour commute to a business appointment recently and had dutifully slogged through heavy traffic and rain to get there. The G70 is an easy commuter with infotainment touchscreen, digital displays and technology shared with its Hyundai brethren like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and instrument-panel-displayed video blind-spot assist.
