Rental review Genesis G70

I have a long term rental resulting from an uninsured driver broadsiding my new Mercedes with 400 miles on it. That’s another story…. So we have a Genesis G70 sedan. It is their standard model, not the top of line sport version. It appears to be a low $50k car. Let’s start with the good. The...

Let’s discuss the shortcomings.
Visibility is limited through the rear window
The rear camera gets blurry with any hint of rain, every time
The steering assist controls are odd and hard to shut off.
Rear seat leg room is tight with the front seats back.

Odd things it is lacking:
no digital speed display, just analog and it is not visible with the steering wheel.
No door unlock button on the drivers door, but one on the passenger door
No memory seats
No wireless CarPlay
No front and rear proximity sensor / warning

This is Hyundai’s competition for the upscale buyer, but it is a long way off from Acura, BMW and Mercedes, but at a similar price point. It is an ok car, but not for $50k plus. It is missing basic upscale expectations for this market segment. There are plenty of better choices for the price, would not ever be a consideration for me.

I’m not sure what trim he has but my 25 RWD 2.5 Sport Prestige has everything he’s missing except wireless CarPlay.

Of course the rear seat leg room is limited. It’s a small sport sedan.

I don’t use any steering assist functions so I couldn’t care less about how they function.

Rear visibility is great if you remove the silly headrest in the middle of the rear seat.

Thanks for reminding me why I never buy the low end model of any car. I don't "need" those features but surely like having them. Sounds like he was driving my '61 Pontiac that did not have them either.

Really? This one sounds like BS.
