The Genesis G70 is a sports sedan in a class that used to be simple: if you wanted an engaging compact, the German options were the obvious answer. The G70 has spent a few years making that argument less obvious.

Simone looks at what the 2022 update brings: interior changes, how the driving dynamics hold up against the competition, and whether the Genesis ownership experience in Australia has matured enough to back up the car's ambition. The G70 has always been the driver's car in the Genesis range, and the update sharpens the case.

For buyers who want a proper driver's compact without the three-pointed star or the four rings, the G70 is the case study. The caveat is that Genesis's service network is still growing, and that matters when the warranty runs out.
