Today's old editor wants to take you to see the Geniseth G70 Edition 1 Limited Edition.
In recent years, the Genises brand has mixed well in The North American and local markets, and Koreans rely on stability and excellence. Now we often hear what "overtaking by the new energy trend", and I think that Genisys built a car in the overseas market is the real curve overtaking.
G70 Edition 1 limited edition, limited edition of 88 units, priced at 355,000 yuan, compared to the flagship version of 336,800 yuan more than 21,800 yuan, I think it is very valuable, because this limited edition model will be a lot of previously need to choose the configuration into the standard, especially there are two most related to the driving experience of the configuration has also become the standard, I will talk about which two configurations are specific.
In terms of design, this Edition 1 limited edition G70 still presents the common body proportions of luxury brand rear-drive cars, and the standard wheelbase brings a very tight visual effect to the G70, which has a consistent sporty atmosphere with the overseas version of the 3.3T Sport model in appearance.
At the same time, the G70 Edition 1 Limited Edition uses the exclusive color created for the Chinese market in the body painting - Galaxy Gray, which has a matte texture of the dark gray system, which looks very much in line with the positioning of this rear-drive sports car, and I personally like the visual impact brought by this paint - that unique feeling with some mysteriousness, is not the aesthetic orientation of today's young people?
In addition, the 19-inch matte dark gold wheel is also the exclusive rim of the Edition 1 Limited Edition G70, which is thicker than the four-wheel drive flagship version in terms of shape, and the design of multiple strips plus the same matte texture spray paint material, the only thing you need to pay attention to is to be careful when parking, and it will hurt to scratch the sad. The tires are paired with Michelin PS4S tires with the front 225/40 R19 and rear 255/35 R19 specifications – with such a set of high-performance street tires, once again in line with the positioning of its luxury brand standard wheelbase sports sedan.
It is worth mentioning that the G70 Edition 1 limited edition is equipped with a red Brembo four-piston braking system as standard, which is also one of the most important configuration upgrades related to driving on the limited edition - not only for the significant improvement of the braking foot feeling, but also for this red and black matching processing with the whole vehicle, but also to get a lot of consumers' demand for appearance. It should be noted that other configuration models can also optionally install this four-piston Brembo braking system, but in terms of price, like the four-wheel drive flagship model, it costs 25,500 yuan (included in the sports kit optional bag), which once again confirms the "value" of this limited edition model.
Entering the car, you can immediately find that the biggest difference between the Edition 1 limited edition G70 and the ordinary version in the interior is that the material is more elaborate and more pursuit of sports atmosphere. The first is this set of sporty steering wheel wrapped in suede material, the advantage of this original suede is not only that the leather feels more delicate, and only "oil" after a long time of use, compared to the outside modification of the hair loss will be less.
At the same time, the central armrest has also been upgraded to suede material, and the touch is also quite good. In fact, the Edition 1 Limited Edition G70 also uses suede covering in A/B columns, sun visors, etc., basically covering the most commonly touched places. As mentioned earlier, Genissy is in a good position in the North American market, so the adjustment of the steering wheel column is very American - the use of electric up and down front and rear adjustment, but also reflects the sense of grade at this price point.
The Edition 1 Limited Edition G70 further enhances the texture of the seat part, which has its own imprint on the headrest of the sports seat, which looks like a Genises logo and is processed with 3D hot stamping. In terms of comfort and performance, the Edition 1 Limited Edition seat provides leg rest adjustment for better thigh and knee support.
In terms of seat material, the Edition 1 limited edition adopts a different NAPPA leather material from ordinary models, which is more delicate in touch, with red stitching and diamond-shaped lattice grain design, the G70 reflects the characteristics of Korean artificial cars in terms of workmanship and details - "slightly paranoid fine".
In terms of sound systems, the Edition 1 Limited Edition uses the same 15-speaker Lexicon Lexicon Premium Audio System as the four-wheel drive flagship version, which was founded in the United States under the umbrella of HARMAN International, which was previously the main home theater market, and now becomes the royal audio of the Genises brand and enters the field of car audio.
Another driver-friendly feature of the Edition 1 Limited Edition G70 is the standard electronically controlled variable suspension function (also available on the four-wheel drive deluxe edition through the optional 25,500 yuan sports kit). The suspension damping sensation and the body filter performance in different modes are non-stop, especially in the SPORT+ mode, in addition to having a stronger damping sense, it is also possible to activate the ejection start function of the Edition 1 Limited Edition G70.
Since the G70 Edition 1 Limited Edition is based on the Four-Wheel Drive Deluxe Edition, it is also equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system and a central differential using a multi-chip clutch. However, this can not be equipped with a mechanical rear axle limited slip differential - this is also one of the main reasons why the two-wheel drive version of the sports kit optionally requires 29300 yuan, and it is more expensive, after all, with the mechanical LSD and the rear drive, the fun must be doubled.
After opening the hood of the Geniseys G70, it was found that the 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine was a bit empty for the capacity of the cabin - after all, the G70 also has a 3.3T six-cylinder turbo engine in the North American market, with an output of 368 horsepower. Of course, the 2.0T high-power powertrain has already performed well, with a maximum power of 179 kW (245 hp) and a maximum torque of 353 N·m, matching an 8-speed automatic transmission. In fact, the G70 even the most entry-level rear-drive luxury type of 249,800 yuan is a high-power output, sincerity +1.
Driver's Summary:
The Genisesy G70 Edition 1 Limited Edition is priced in good faith, the configuration is full, and the whole vehicle presents a sufficient sense of premium from the outside to the inside. In an environment full of BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4L, the GeniseyS G70 Edition 1 Limited Edition does offer a more personal and quality-quality option.
And I personally look forward to the G70 hunting version of SPITTING BRAKE unveiled at this year's GOODWOOD Goodwood Speed Festival, after all, the current luxury brand station wagon segment is also getting hotter and hotter, compared to the Mercedes-Benz CLA sports car on the front-drive platform, perhaps the G70 hunting version is more attractive to domestic young consumers.
