Goodbye to the G70: A Sedan on its Last Legs
It’s only a matter of time before we bid adieu to the Genesis G70 sedan, the most affordable luxury ride from the brand, starting at a tantalizing $42,500. Yet, like a fleeting romance in a rom-com, this relationship may be coming to an end as Genesis turns its gaze toward SUVs and electric vehicles. It’s almost tragic, really—this elegant beast was the third-best-selling vehicle for the brand last year, but alas, the winds of change are upon us.
The SUV Shift: Where Are All the Sedans Going?
According to whispers in the automotive world, Genesis is reportedly planning to retire the G70 by the 2027 model year, leaving only the GV70 SUV as its most wallet-friendly option, with a starting price of ,985. They say that the only constant in life is change, and apparently, that includes our love for sedans disappearing faster than a magician’s rabbit. Analysts are even speculating that the G70 isn’t destined for a second generation. Seems harsh for such a gallant steed!
Slipping Into the Future: Genesis’ Bold New Direction
But hold your brakes! While we might be mourning the G70, Genesis isn’t letting us dwell in sadness too long. They’re looking at the future with a flagship electric SUV, the GV90—set to rival the luxurious likes of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. With its Rolls-Royce-like coach doors, it’s making a statement: “Goodbye, use of gasoline; hello to the electric frontier!” While the G70 may soon fade into the sunset, it leaves us questioning—will this transition be as smooth as their luxury rides?
