In April this year, the Korean luxury car brand Genisesy announced its return to the Chinese market, and three models were launched in this market half a year later.
On October 19, following the medium and large sedan G80 and medium and large SUV GV80, the medium-sized sedan JenissYS G70 was officially launched, further reducing the starting price of this brand, and the new car was priced at 249,800-355,000 yuan. Among them, the GeniseyS G70 Edition 1 limited edition model is only unique to the Chinese market, with a limited edition of 88 units.
The flagship version, priced at 321,800 yuan, has more power adjustment steering wheel, ventilation and heating of the front seats, heating of the rear seats, double laminated glass, and 15 speaker systems than the deluxe version priced at 249,800 yuan. If you add a bright black mesh and window frame, a 19-inch sports rim, and a sports kit with red Beambo calipers, the price will reach about 350,000 yuan.
From the outside, the body size is 4700× 1850×1400mm, the brand's iconic design elements "Wings of Inspiration" LED lights, lower volt "Badge of Courage" wide grille, wide hood and coordinated design proportions and streamlined body, making this sedan look compact, dynamic and elegant.
Some comments said that the biggest highlight of the Genisesy G70 is the styling and driving experience, and it is also deeply felt after the test drive.
It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, equipped with an 8AT gearbox, with a maximum power output of 245 hp and a maximum torque of 353 Nm, and is equipped with an ejection start function. Its drive form defaults to the rear drive, consumers can freely choose whether to install AWD full-time four-wheel drive system or rear axle limited slip differential, of course, can only choose one of the two.
Even without selecting sport + mode, the engine's response to the throttle in comfort mode is sensitive enough, if you step on the floor oil, the push back feels easy to gush out, the steering is precise, the throttle is light, the chassis is stable, and this car does not lack the joy of handling. In sport mode, the gearbox's downshift speed is increased, of course, the power response is faster, and the acceleration is more rapid. After starting the sport + mode, the body stabilization system will automatically close the first level, if you want to activate the ejection start function, you need to press the ESC switch long, the body stability system is completely turned off, and the back and forth operation brings a richer driving experience.
Of course, while the advantages are so prominent, the weaknesses are also more obvious. When preparing to wear the "sport" crown, it is inevitable to sacrifice the rear space, after all, its current wheelbase is only 2835mm, only the standard shaft version, compared with the same level of models, the space has no advantage, and the rear row middle platform is obviously raised, so it is more suitable for those who pursue the two-person world.
As for the interior, there are also some complaints that the screen is not big enough and think it is not luxurious enough. My personal opinion is that the interior design is decent, the materials are exquisitely crafted, and compared with some niche luxury car brands, the function is rich, suitable for people who like a lot of physical button knobs.
The interior design of the Geniseys G70 is driver-centric, with innovative technology features including The Genisesee Infotainment System, Geniseys Intelligent Interconnection Services, Smart Air Purification System, Wireless Charging For Mobile Phones, 12.3-inch 3D Naked-Eye Instrument Cluster, Lexicon Luxury Sound System (15 speakers), etc. When turning the turn signal, the two discs on the left and right of the instrument will each display the blind zone picture on both sides, which is very practical in the case of poor visibility on rainy days.
Overall, after test driving the G70, almost all test drivers agree with its sporty performance, and the pleasure obtained from driving is not lost to those models with the title of "sports king".
Based on price considerations, the Genises G70 should be the most likely model for this Korean brand. However, with the Chinese's pursuit of space and the way of loving the brand, whether this driver's car can wait until its own era of sports kings is not easy at present.
