2022 G70 Now Available to Build

[LanceP]

Good News: The 2022 is now available to build and there’s a Launch Edition available. (Only 500 units)
Bad News: 2 Matte options for Launch Editions only and it appears NO 3D gauge cluster!

Yeah, I was just looking at that. No carbon fiber accents either or the option for red interior other then launch edition as well.

Well...Genesis officially lost me. You can only get the black interior with red stitching on the Sport.

Idiots. I f’ing cannot stand red in a car.

So if the GV70 is overpriced...I’m going back to Audi.

Hopefully they get their shit together for the full refresh with the bigger engines.

It’s disappointing. Couldn’t even give us the Bond Silver matte paint for that matter. I may have to consider something else as well.

No mention of variable exhaust either! Could be that they will update the descriptions at a later date... Fingers crossed on what we have already seen in Korea...

It does mention the dual mode sport exhaust.

Doh! I should have looked at the main page rather than the list of equipment listed for each model. Although, I just found it on the 3.3 Sport Advance model standard equipment list.

Looks like not all 3.3tt packages get the limited slip anymore.

Oh wow! I hadn't noticed. Hopefully, they will keep updating the website. I hope we get the 3D gauges, matte paint and red leather as regular options. This car has the potential to be a real contender and to be the best in the segment.

I love a red interior (I have a red interior in my s2k and wouldn't have it any other way) but I think they overdid the red a bit in the launch version. They should limit the red to the seats and the door panels. The red console and dash is too much.

I love me some red too. Will have to see it in person to know for sure but I think it looks good. Also looks like the awd version doesn’t get the heated steering wheel. That seems odd.
Also why does the 2.0 get more interior color options?

2022 Kia Stinger Gets $3000 Price Increase, New Base Engine for U.S.

The old 2.0-liter is gone, and the newly standard 2.5-liter turbo four has 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque.

So the 2022 Stinger gets the new 2.5T motor but the G70 doesn't? How does that make any sense?

I know, right! The Stinger also gets ambient lighting, a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror and auto-leveling/active bending LED headlights. Not sure why Genesis USA decided to omit these from the facelift G70.

Looks like we have an official USA reveal today...at California Speedway. Hopefully we get more info on the US spec.

You would think with Genesis being the luxury brand of Hyundai that Genesis would get the most content and features first rather than Kia? We will see what is revealed today at the introduction. I am going to strongly consider a 2022 G70 as my next car. Time will tell ...

 

[Glaz]

So next Gen G70 when? Not a fan of what they did for US Spec models.

 

[Glaz]

pay attention to the very end what the CEO says.

 

[jetrep]

Track Test? Seems more like a commercial that Genesis paid Motortrend to publish.

I wonder if all the sports will come with those red seat belts.

They said a lot but nothing really.

 

[Beefer]

Those red seat belts nail it on the head on how brutally hideous it is (overkill on the red I mean). PUKE.

Still missing a sharper edge where the hood meets the grill.

Learned nothing from the video...other than variable exhaust (awesome)...and that they have a few tricks up their sleeves. Meh.
