G70 Spotted in NJ and the price of the US G70 is....

[TOGuy242]

Would you please be so kind as to tell me where you saw this. I would like to see what they said. Thanks

Pretty certain the 2.0T (I think Elite or Prestige) that I test drove had the start/stop.

The 2.0 has start/stop with the automatic transmission.

Can it be disabled?

 

[PD705]

Yes, there's a button next to the shifter - but it needs to be disabled on every ignition cycle.

A bit annoying but at least you can turn it off.

I'm not seeing mention anywhere of the smart neutral coasting whatnot. I thought I remember it being talked about for the G70. Does anyone know about that? Apparently it might also be on the higher trim Stingers for 2019.

The words smart and neutral coasting should never go together. It’s a dumb idea. It doesn’t save gas and besides being illegal it can be dangerous. I cannot believe any US manufacturer would have the function.

If I understand it's function correctly, it's all automatic and only happens in certain drive modes. I imagine it likely can reconnect the drive line quickly if you hit the gas. Unfortunately there seems to be very little literature on it available right now, at least in English.

Yes, the car has a coast function in Smart and Eco drive modes. When cruising at high speed, if conditions permit (i.e. you're trying to maintain speed on level ground, when deceleration fuel cutoff (DFCO) isn't beneficial), the car will automatically disconnect the torque converter for reduced parasitic loss. If speed drops too much or the driver continues to apply throttle it seamlessly reconnects and keeps going.

Was the TBD a strip pasted over the space, or printed on the "Monroney Sticker"?
Thanx,

3.3 L RWD MPG is slightly better but still worse than my Infiniti G37. "Range Anxiety" will be an issue with the Genesis' smaller fuel tank. Start-Stop Technology is a major negative if true.

acesk8er's post made me drag out my '16 340i bimmer's window sticker. 3.0 liter twin turb. with a claimed 320hp, and a wheel dyno test of about 340, (numbers are approximate from memory). If you apply a 12% loss factor for the "wheel horse power", that's 380hp. The EPA mpg is 26, with 22 city and 33 highway, and "you will spend $500 more in fuel costs in 5 years". Of course, the $500 would be different due to different cost of gas, but the basic mpg figure is astounding in comparison to our subject car.

My lease is up in Feb., and I'm just starting to look seriously for a replacement; I like the idea of, (and price of) the G70. I'm thinking about a number of cars, but so far the main competitor is the Audi S5. So far I'm guessing that the price may run about $15K more, although the higher resale percentage, (residual value) might make the leasing cost closer than the purchase price difference would make you think.

To be fair, the EPA rating test has changed to be more strict in just the last year. It's likely the Infinity would score just a tad worse than it did back then. Most cars going from I think it was 2017 to 2018 MY scored worse, even if nothing changed about the engine/transmission etc.


edit - Smallest change ever, although this is just an estimate based on their calculator.

TBD! Lol...

Guy down the street from me, who I understand has a big job with Hyundai Finance, has this parked in front of his house in Belle Mead , New Jersey!

Just curious, any more sightings of this G70 or its Hyundai Finance “babysitter?”
