300-hp 2.5T on every trim
No base-engine compromise: every G70 gets the same 300-hp, 311 lb-ft turbo, so the entry price buys the full driving experience.
The 2027 Genesis G70 is the brand's compact sport sedan: a 300-hp 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder, an 8-speed automatic, Brembo brakes and 19-inch wheels on every trim, starting at $43,800 MSRP. Choose rear-wheel drive for a lighter feel or all-wheel drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control for Kentucky winters.
Genesis of Louisville had 15 new G70 sedans in the Oct 31, 2026 crawl, so you can compare RWD and AWD, Sport Advanced and Sport Prestige side by side at 2127 Blankenbaker Parkway, just off I-64 at the Blankenbaker Parkway exit in Louisville's East End.

Every 2027 G70 uses the same 2.5T engine, rated at 300 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. Genesis rates rear-drive models at an EPA-estimated 21 city / 29 highway / 24 combined MPG and AWD models at 20/28/23. The difference between trims is equipment and finish, not power, which makes the G70 an easy car to configure: pick the drivetrain you want, then the comfort and tech level.
Standard equipment is generous for the price: Brembo brakes, a wireless phone charger, a hands-free smart trunk, heated front seats and Genesis Connected Services. Sport Advanced adds Sport Dark 19-inch wheels, sport leather, ventilated front seats, driver memory and a wide sunroof. Sport Prestige brings the 12.3-inch 3D digital gauge cluster, a Head-Up Display, Lexicon premium audio, Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor.
At the top, the 2.5T Prestige Graphite AWD has its own look: Ultramarine Blue Nappa leather with orange contrast, unique 19-inch multi-spoke wheels, gloss black mirror caps and black Brembo calipers with red lettering. Need more back-seat room? Step up to the G80. Prefer ride height? The GV70 shares the G70's sporty character in an SUV body.

Best value. The 2.5T RWD or 2.5T AWD gives you the full 300-hp drivetrain and Brembo brakes for the lowest price; choose AWD if you park outside or commute before the plows have been out.
Best daily-driver balance. Sport Advanced is the trim most shoppers land on, adding ventilated seats, memory and the wide sunroof that make summer commutes on the Gene Snyder more comfortable.
Most tech. Sport Prestige adds the Head-Up Display, Lexicon audio, 3D cluster and camera systems that help in tight downtown parking garages.
Most distinctive. Prestige Graphite is the collector's choice, with an interior color you won't see on another G70 in the parking lot.
No base-engine compromise: every G70 gets the same 300-hp, 311 lb-ft turbo, so the entry price buys the full driving experience.
Genesis fits Brembo brakes to every trim, with black calipers and red lettering on Prestige Graphite.
Rear-drive models are the efficiency pick; AWD adds Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control for confident grip when I-64 turns slick.
Sport Prestige adds a 12.3-inch 3D digital cluster and Head-Up Display so key information stays in your line of sight.
Sport Prestige trims add Lexicon premium sound plus Genesis Digital Key 2 Touch.
First owners get complimentary Genesis Connected Services, including remote start and Automatic Collision Notification.
Louisville is a good sport-sedan town. The G70's quick steering and 300-hp turbo make short work of the on-ramps between Blankenbaker Parkway, the Gene Snyder Freeway and the Watterson Expressway, and it is compact enough to slip into tight spaces in NuLu, the Highlands or downtown parking garages.
Ohio Valley weather is the main reason to think about AWD. Winters bring ice and the occasional heavy snow, and spring storms can leave roads slick; the AWD G70 pairs all-wheel drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control for stable cornering in the wet. If you mostly drive in town and keep the car garaged, the RWD model's lower price and slightly better EPA rating may be the smarter buy.
