Used 2021 Genesis G70 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Genesis G70 is a small luxury sedan available in two main trim levels: 2.0T and 3.3T. Each corresponds with a unique powertrain. Feature and spec highlights for the G70 are as follows:

  • 2.0T: turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (252 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque)
  • 3.3T: turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 engine (365 hp, 376 lb-ft)

The 2.0T comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual transmission is also available with this engine. The 3.3T only comes with the automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard for the G70, though the 2.0T with the automatic and the 3.3T can be equipped with all-wheel drive.

2.0T
The entry-level G70 is packed with features, including:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Hands-free trunk opener
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Heated front seats (AWD only)
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility

The G70 2.0T also comes with a set of driving aids, such as:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Genesis and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the G70 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)

There are two option packages for the 2.0T:

  • Elite package
    • Power-folding and auto-dimming mirrors
    • Power-adjustable steering wheel
    • Driver's seat memory settings
    • Heated front seats
    • Navigation system
    • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Prestige package
    • Elite package
    • 19-inch wheels
    • Automatic wipers
    • Premium microfiber headliner
    • Heated steering wheel
    • Ventilated front seats with additional adjustments
    • Heated rear seats
    • Upgraded leather upholstery
    • Wireless charging pad
    • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)
    • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Genesis and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

2.0T six-speed manual
The manual-equipped G70 isn't a mere transmission swap. Starting with the base model's equipment, it removes adaptive cruise control but adds:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Summer performance tires
  • Brembo brakes
  • Limited-slip differential
  • Power-adjustable steering wheel
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Heated and ventilated front seats with additional adjustments
  • 15-speaker Lexicon audio system

3.3T
The 3.3T is equipped similarly to the 2.0T six-speed manual, except with a more powerful engine and an automatic transmission. It also adds:

  • Elite package
  • Sport suspension
  • Automatic wipers
  • Sunroof
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Leather upholstery
  • Wireless charging pad

As with the 2.0T, there are two option packages for the 3.3T:

  • Prestige package
    • Microfiber headliner
    • Heated rear seats
    • Upgraded leather upholstery
    • Head-up display
    • 360-degree camera system
  • Sport package
    • Prestige package
    • Darkened exterior trim elements
    • Adaptive suspension dampers (adjust to enhance ride comfort and handling)

Which G70 trim does Edmunds recommend?

There's nothing wrong with the standard 2.0T trim level. It costs a lot less than similarly equipped competitors, and its set of luxury features is comprehensive. That said, the 3.3T really is the way to go. The turbocharged V6 transforms the G70 into a true sport sedan, and one rich in value thanks to its lengthy list of added features.
