Hard to recommend, expensive to buy, quite easy to like. Find out more in our Genesis G70 Shooting Brake review.
Though it’s easy to dismiss a UK drive after an international launch as just another bite at the coverage cherry, priorities do change when at home. No longer fixated on how the minutiae of Car A’s handling and performance compares with its rivals Car B and Car C, the assessment becomes less strict and more about a general fitness for purpose in everyday life. Against expectation, the Genesis G70 Shooting Brake is a much more likeable car over here than it was abroad.
But that’s a traditional first-drive assessment. Real-world driving is seldom pushing the limits of much beyond the stereo , and it’s in more typical use that the Genesis impresses. Not the most PH of angles, sure, but you only need look at how comprehensively DCT M2s outsold manuals, or the popularity of automatic Golf Rs against manual GTIs, to know that ease of use and everyday amenability remain important. More important than we like to admit, in a lot of cases.
Furthermore, though the G70 is far from the most commodious of wagons, its slight dimensions mean a car that feels helpfully compact rather than one barely squeezed between white lines. The weight rather confounds that impression, which is a shame. But it’s nice to know that a refined, plush car needn’t be a ginormous one. And even if it’s not the most rewarding steer in the world, a brake pedal with some feel and steering that’s accurate and sensibly weighted means it’s anything but a chore.
