The Genesis G70, a car that burst onto the scene in 2017 with promises of rear-wheel drive excitement and a manual transmission, seems to have lost its way in a sea of SUVs. This once-promising sports sedan has seen minimal updates since its debut, with production even coming to a halt last year to focus on other models like the Palisade. While the G70 received some cosmetic tweaks like refreshed headlights and touch-sensitive HVAC controls, the core of the car remains largely unchanged.

One significant update to the G70 was the switch from a 2.0L to a 2.5L turbocharged engine, offering a more respectable 300 horsepower. This change brings a lighter and more stable feel to the driving experience, akin to its cousin, the now-deceased Kia Stinger. However, despite these improvements, the G70 with the 2.5L engine lacks the punch expected in a sports sedan, feeling more like an eco-friendly commuter than a thrilling performer on the road.

Compared to its competitors like the TLX, the G70 falls short in delivering the engaging driving experience enthusiasts crave. The transmission, while responsive, doesn't quite match the liveliness of its rivals. The G70, though a decent car, seems to miss the mark in fully realizing its potential, with a noticeable disconnection between its front and rear ends. As a new purchase, the G70 may not offer the best value, but as a used buy, it could still provide some rear-wheel drive fun without breaking the bank.
