Great car except the seating
Owning the Genesis G70 has been a largely positive experience, especially when it comes to performance and driving dynamics. The car handles exceptionally well, with precise steering and a responsive feel that makes it genuinely enjoyable to drive on both city streets and highways. It’s clear that a lot of attention was given to the engineering and road manners, and in that regard, the G70 really stands out in its class.
However, the interior comfort and practicality leave much to be desired. The seating, in particular, is a significant drawback. The front seats are quite firm and lack the level of comfort you would expect from a luxury sport sedan, especially on longer drives. Over time, this becomes increasingly noticeable and detracts from the overall driving experience.
Another major concern is how difficult it is to get in and out of the vehicle. The seats sit very low to the ground, and the angle makes entry and exit awkward and uncomfortable, particularly for average-sized adults. This design might suit a smaller driver, but for many people in the U.S., it feels impractical and inconvenient for daily use.
The rear seats are also extremely limited in space. For anyone of average height or build, the backseat is cramped to the point of being nearly unusable for anything beyond very short trips. This significantly reduces the car’s practicality if you plan to carry passengers regularly.
In summary, while the Genesis G70 excels in handling and driving enjoyment, its interior comfort, seat design, and overall accessibility are notable weaknesses. These issues may not matter as much to drivers prioritizing performance above all else, but for those expecting a balance of luxury and comfort, they are important factors to consider
