Unconsciously, 2021 is nearing its end. In the past, major automakers have come up with every effort to compete for the Chinese auto market, and "cost performance" has become the key word. Among them, in addition to joint venture cars and domestic cars, the imported car sector also has quite eye-catching models, and in the professor's view, the GeniseS G70 listed in October this year will be the "most fragrant" model!
It is estimated that many friends do not know what brand Genises is, in fact, this is Hyundai's high-end luxury brand, similar to the relationship between Toyota and Lexus, and it has won the TOP3 awards of major authoritative institutions in Europe and the United States several times, and there is no need to worry about brand strength! But unlike Lexus, Genises focuses on sportiness and cost-effectiveness.
Compared with the conservative design style of the same level of BMW 3 Series, Volvo S60 and other models, the GenisesYS G70 has a more sporty styling design, and its iconic shield-type mid-net with split headlights gives people a strong visual impact.
In order to bring the original driving experience, the G70 did not launch a long-axis model, its size is only 4700 * 1850 * 1400 (mm), the wheelbase is only 2835mm, more compact than the standard shaft version of the 3 series, which makes it have good handling in the corners.
Not only that, but the G70's tail also features a huge dual-outlet exhaust design, which creates a good sense of sport with the ducktail spoiler above, which is more recognizable than the Cadillac CT4 at the same price.
Interestingly, unlike the visually outstanding appearance, the interior of the G70 looks a bit "old-fashioned" with the current aesthetic, but it is undeniable that it is still more generous than the same level of models in terms of configuration and materials.
Conventional configurations such as 12.3-inch LCD dashboards and 10.25-inch central control screens naturally do not need to be said, because the same level of models are such standards. The difference is that the Genises G70 is equipped with the Genesis Active Safety Control driver assistance system as standard, bringing ADAS driving assistance functions including front collision prevention assistance, blind zone collision prevention assistance, intelligent cruise control, etc., while the BBA models of the same level are only available in the medium and high-end versions.
In addition, most of the same level of models such as keyless entry, seat heating and ventilation, and steering wheel heating require optional configurations, which are also standard on the G70, which means that the entry model is equal to high equipment. Coupled with the ubiquitous soft materials such as leather, it is very much in line with the definition of luxury cars.
However, the Genises G70 also has obvious shortcomings, that is, spatial performance. Subject to the compact body size, adults over 180 cm tall will look more depressed when sitting in the rear seat, and the comfort is not as good as that of long-axle cars such as Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4L.
There is no doubt that power is the biggest highlight of the Genisesy G70, when the models of the same class are still distinguishing between high and low power models, its thick and full series is equipped with a 2.0T+8AT assembly, the maximum power reaches 245 horsepower, the peak torque is 353 Nm, the official 100 km/h acceleration time is only 6.1 seconds, and the parameters are already similar to the Audi A4L 45TFSI model.
In terms of suspension, the G70 uses a combination of front double ball spring damping struts and rear multi-link, similar to the structure of the BMW 3 Series. Not only that, but the G70 with a longitudinal layout can also be selected as a rear-drive or four-wheel drive version, which will have more advantages in handling than horizontal platform models such as volvo S60.
In addition, G70 can also be optional sports kit, according to the model configuration, the price is from 25,500 yuan and 29,300 yuan, in addition to the sports kit, 19-inch titanium rim, leather seats, threaded trim, fur roof, etc., there are mechanical limited-slip differentials (only rear-drive models), electromagnetic suspension, 18-inch brake discs, Brembo brakes and other "hard goods", it can be said that in terms of performance, G70 is almost armed to the teeth.
In the professor's view, the Genissy G70 can simply be described as "true fragrance", with 2.0T+8AT, longitudinal rear drive, vehicle imports and other advantages, the starting price is only 249,800 yuan, and close to the "full" four-wheel drive flagship, the price is only 336,800 yuan, more than 50,000 yuan cheaper than the same level of BBA, the cost performance is self-evident.
Not only that, but hyundai Ulsan plant in South Korea is completely inferior to the Lexus ES produced in Japan in terms of reliability, and the quality difference caused by the joint venture production is completely avoided. Coupled with the current policy of 5 years or 100,000 kilometers of warranty service and free maintenance service in the Chinese market, Genesis has greatly reduced the burden of consumers' cars.
In the professor's view, the strength of the GenisesYS G70 is beyond doubt, it has found a delicate balance between product strength and price, making its cost performance very obvious, which also fully reflects the attitude of Genisesy's eagerness to gain a foothold in the Chinese market.
However, at present, Genises is far inferior to mainstream luxury brands such as BBA in terms of brand awareness, and if it wants to achieve some achievements in China, it can be said that there is still a long way to go in shaping user reputation and brand image. Of course, this does not affect the fact that the GeniseyS G70 is the "true fragrance" model of 2021!
