Genesis is gearing up to launch what might be its most important vehicle to date: the G70. The compact sedan will serve as the new entry-level model in the Genesis lineup and will compete against the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
New teaser videos reveal the G70 will debut in Olympic Park in Seoul, South Korea, on September 15. “Normally you would go to an international motor show to do this, but we chose deliberately Seoul, as this is our place of origin,” Genesis chief Manfred Fitzgerald says in one of the videos.
The sedan goes on sale here in the U.S. in early 2018.
The G70 is expected to share components with the rear-wheel-drive Kia Stinger. Right now, Genesis only has two vehicles in its stable. The larger G80 is based off the previous Hyundai Genesis while the G90 is the successor to the old Hyundai Equus.
By the end of 2021, Genesis will have launched three sedans, three SUVs, a sports coupe, and a dedicated electric vehicle. The GV70 crossover will be based off the same platform as the G70 sedan.
