Canadian Genesis G70 Pre-Orders

[GenesisYEG]

Pre-Order Link is now up! Pricing will be listed when the unveiling is done at the Montreal Auto Show but you can see the trims, colors, and features they will have.

I'm personally excited for the 2.0T Sport RWD and the 3.3T Sport

Will post more info once I get it!

Let's hope they also do this in the US.

Any idea on the ballpark price of the 3.3T Sport?

I saw $57k CDN (before tax) being floated around this forum but it seems a little hard to swallow considering the Stinger is listed at $52K before tax, for pretty much the same feature set.

Any idea on the ballpark price of the 3.3T Sport?

$57500 is what Genesis Canada wants to price the car at but it is unofficial as they are still in discussions Korea to finalize prices.

The Stinger and the G70 were not designed to be competitors. The Stinger was meant to be a grand tourer -- it is longer (+145mm), wider (+20mm), and heavier (several hundreds of lbs). It also has a hatch, which offers a lot more cargo space and versatility but lesser structural rigidity to the sedan format. The Stinger is targeted towards the mainstream buyer that shows that Kia can make a fantastic performing vehicle that anybody could be proud to own, whereas the G70 was designed to be a high-performing sport sedan that would upend Europe's reign over the segment.

With that said, the G70 is easily worth the price delta over the Stinger. Here is why:

[video=youtube_share;tiVCAfd5Hro]https://youtu.be/tiVCAfd5Hro[/video]

• Mechanical Limited Slip Differential with the AWD system vs. open differential on the Stinger = better handling
• Engine is underrated in the G70 and is outputting more than the engine in the Stinger = better acceleration
• Car is lighter than the Stinger
• All intakes and vents are functional on the G70
• The build quality and material quality is much higher in the G70 than in the Stinger
• You can get a manual and RWD G70 (albeit at a lower trim) but you can't in the Stinger
• The Lexicon sound system in the G70 surpasses the Harmon/Kardon sound system in the Stinger
• You get 5 years of included scheduled maintenance, valet service, Genesis courtesy vehicles, and navigation map updates with the G70
• Lease rates are at 1.9% up to 60 months if you pre-order the G70; the Stinger is currently at 4.99% and 5.99%
• Finance rates are at 1.9% up to 84 months if you pre-order the G70; the Stinger is currently at 2.99% and 3.49%
• The G70 is estimated to hold its value better than the Stinger
• The $52k price of the Stinger is before any dealership fees -- Genesis Canada charges no dealership fees (or delivery and destination charges, for that matter)

The Kia Stinger is a great car. It may even be the better choice for you. Feature-wise, it has most of the features of the G70 but then again, a Sonata has lot of the features both cars do. However, the G70 was designed to be the faster, sportier, and more luxurious car than the Stinger.

Choose whichever one works best for you!
