- The 2024 Genesis G70 starts at $42,695, which is $2170 higher than last year’s base price.
- The G70 3.3T with the twin-turbo V-6 now starts at $51,145—a hefty $5120 increase.
- Along with swapping the G70’s old base 2.0-liter turbo four with a new 2.5-liter, Genesis gives the sports sedan’s interior relatively minor revisions.
It’s no surprise that the 2024 Genesis G70 costs more than it did last year. Not only did Genesis make some tweaks to the sports sedan’s interior, but it also performed an engine swap on the base model. That and newly standard Brembo brakes contribute to the 2024 G70’s starting price rising by $2170 to $42,695.
A Pricier 3.3T
While the G70 now features a standard 300-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder instead of the old 252-hp 2.0-liter turbo four, the other available engine is the same as before. Even though Genesis didn’t change anything about the optional twin-turbo 3.3-liter V-6, which still pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive, the base price of G70s with that setup has significantly increased.
For 2024, the G70 3.3T has a starting price of $51,145. That’s a hefty $5120 more than before whether customers choose the standard rear-wheel drive or pay the extra $2100 for all-wheel drive. The primary reason for the V-6’s substantial price hike is that every model now includes the Sport Advanced package, which previously was a $4300 option. Meanwhile, the Sport Prestige package costs $4200 on new 2.5T models and $4400 on 3.3T models.
Among the G70’s new features are revised climate controls with touch-sensitive functions and a frameless rearview mirror. According to the EPA, the new G70 2.5T has mostly the same fuel-economy estimates, except the RWD version’s highway estimate drops from 31 to 29 mpg; its combined rating also drops from 25 to 24 mpg. The 2024 G70 lineup will reach U.S. dealerships in the coming weeks.
Eric Stafford’s automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a journalism degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual ’97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a ’90 Honda CRX Si.
