Exterior
From front to back, the 2018 Genesis G70 has an elegant yet sporty appeal that turns heads. The front fascia features the signature crest-shaped Genesis grille with chrome accents and honeycomb pattern to make it more prominent. Below the grille is a large air dam and two air intakes on either side to further improve the engine cooling function.
The full LED headlights design has been taken from the G90 sedan to make the front fascia look more angular at the edges and slimmer towards the grille and add to the sporty appeal of the vehicle. The hood features striking lines and sharp curves that add to the aerodynamics of the vehicle. The front fenders are muscular and bulge out to house the 19-inch alloy wheels to make it appear more aggressive.
The beltline has been deepened, yet at the same time, it blends perfectly with the elegant design. The side sills have been lowered while the rear haunches are now more muscular to make the rear of the 2018 Genesis G70 an absolute standout. The trunk lid has been sculpted to fit well with the sporty LED taillights that have been taken from the G80 sedan. Two oval exhaust pipes have been integrated to the lower bumper for a sportier appearance.
The exterior of the 2018 Genesis G70 has been made available in 10 colors that include Titanium Black, Platinum Silver, Carbon Metal, Racing Gray, Marble White, Graceful Gray, Royal Blue, Lapis Blue, Umber Brown, and Blazing Red.
