2023 GENESIS G70 2.2d Sport Shooting Brake 5dr Diesel Auto Euro 6 (s/s) (200 Ps)

The Genesis G70 is a sophisticated South Korean alternative to established German rivals like the BMW 3 Series, offering a premium experience with a focus on luxury and customer service. Launched in the UK with the brand’s unique 'we come to you' ownership model, it blends sharp design with a well-appointed cabin that feels robust enough to satisfy the most demanding UK executive.

Why Buy a Used Genesis G70?

• Unrivalled peace of mind via the Genesis 5-Year Care Plan, which includes servicing, warranty, and roadside assistance.
• Exceptional interior build quality that rivals the best in class, featuring physical buttons for ease of use while driving on uneven British B-roads.
• Distinctive styling that stands out in the company car park, avoiding the ubiquity of the standard premium German brands.
• Competitive standard equipment levels, meaning you don't have to spend thousands on optional packs to get a well-specified car.

Typical Price Range

All prices are approximate.

• 2021–2022: £24,000 – £29,500 — Early UK registration models, often found with low mileage and the remainder of the 5-year care package intact.
• 2022–2023: £30,000 – £36,000 — Mid-life examples, including many high-specification Shooting Brake (estate) variants which are popular for family duties.
• 2023–2024: £37,000 – £45,000 — Nearly-new or ex-demonstrator models offering the latest tech updates and the longest remaining warranty periods.

Common Issues to Check

• Infotainment glitches: Some owners have reported occasional lag in the 10.25-inch touchscreen, though software updates usually rectify this.
• Rear legroom: While not a mechanical fault, the cabin is tighter in the back than a Volkswagen Passat, which may affect its utility as a family car.
• Fuel consumption on 2.0T: The petrol engine can be thirstier than expected during urban driving compared to hybrid rivals.
• Tyre wear: The G70 is a heavy car, and RWD models can go through rear tyres relatively quickly if driven enthusiastically.

Running Costs

• Fuel Economy: 30-35mpg for the 2.0T Petrol; 40-45mpg for the 2.2D Diesel.
• Insurance Group: Group 34 to 41, depending on engine choice and trim level.
• Servicing: Remarkably low for the first 5 years as scheduled servicing is included for free under the Genesis Five-Year Care Plan.

Which Variant Should I Choose?

• 2.2 Diesel Premium Line: High-mileage commuters seeking ULEZ compliance and maximum fuel efficiency for long motorway stints.
• 2.0 Turbo Sport Line: Enthusiastic drivers who prefer petrol performance, rear-wheel drive dynamics, and a more aggressive aesthetic.
• Shooting Brake (Estate): Families who require a V5C registered vehicle with more luggage capacity than the saloon without sacrificing style.
• Luxury Line: Buyers prioritising comfort, featuring quilted Nappa leather and enhanced driver assistance technologies for a relaxed experience.
