2025 Genesis G70

Take a look at the list of standard features below and you'll see that it trails on like the opening crawl of a Star Wars movie. While there's no perfect apples-to-apples comparison to the G70, the closest specification Mercedes-Benz C-Class will cost almost $10,000 more. That should already sway some shoppers toward Genesis, but none of that would matter if it wasn't suitably refined or as luxurious. Thankfully, the G70 easily meets expectations for the class when it comes to interior materials, build quality and comfort. Sure, it lacks some German brand cachet, but you can't argue with its bottom-line value in the entry-level luxury segment.

Among small luxury sedans, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series remain the best in the class. The Genesis G70 is a capable alternative with a very attractive price tag that will save you a ton against similarly equipped German rivals, but it's not quite as exciting to drive for those who value performance. It is a more engaging choice than the Lexus IS, more luxurious than the Acura Integra, and outclasses the Infiniti Q50 in almost every metric.
