2022 Genesis G70 Shooting Brake in Bond Silver | 2.0T Plus | 8AT | AWD |
With all-new G70 Shooting Brake, the Design and Engineering Development built on the world-class foundations of all-new G70 saloon deliver both exceptional driving pleasure and on road comfort. A determined effort was placed on maximising inventiveness, optimising interior spaciousness, delivering an unrivalled premium experience, and ensuring best-in-class safety. Through the extensive application of hot-stamped parts and reinforced connecting structures, all-new G70 Shooting Brake has an incredibly stiff body structure. Fundamentally, the robust, reinforced structure provides first-class occupant safety, just like other Genesis models. The additional benefit of such a rigid body structure is the ability to finely tune the suspension for both excellent ride quality as well as superb handling dynamics. Through the extensive use of used high-strength steel, aerospace-grade adhesives and strategic weight reduction with aluminium, engineers have created the ideal balance of stiffness and light weight. A low overall height and wide overall stance result in a low centre of gravity, helping all-new G70 Shooting Brake provide an exceptional dynamic performance. To reduce unsprung mass, all-new G70 Shooting Brake utilises MacPherson strut front suspension with a connective structure that increases stiffness compared to a conventional design. At the rear is an independent, multi-link suspension that balances driving stability and performance. In combination with the availability of state-of-the art electronically controlled adaptive dampers (ECS), the suspension has been extensively tuned to deliver engaging handling precision without compromising ride comfort. For all-new G70 Shooting Brake, recalibrated dampers compared to that of the G70 saloon help it cope with the increased load carrying expected from an estate car. As with all Genesis models, all-new G70 Shooting Brake has been subjected to extensive testing and tuning in Europe. With cutting-edge chassis technology and a stiff structure, all models provide composed and assured handling as well as supreme comfort and refinement. Drive modes also give the choice of Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+. Once again, Genesis engineers have covered tens of thousands of kilometres testing on some of Europe’s toughest and most challenging roads, as well as extensive testing and confirmation at the famous Nürburgring circuit in Germany. During this rigorous regime, all-new G70 Shooting Brake has excelled, meeting all of the high standards expected of the Genesis brand’s vehicles. An intimidating test for any new car, every lap of the legendary 20.8km race is equivalent to over 300km on the road, putting all mechanical and cooling components under incredible scrutiny. Even so, all-new G70 Shooting Brake covered over 10,000km at the track. During this exhaustive process, considerable attention was paid to the development of the EPAS (Electronic Power Assisted Steering) calibration, resulting in an incredibly natural response and weighting. The steering rack also allows confidence-inspiring stability at high speeds without compromising all-new G70 Shooting Brake’s connected feel and exceptional agility. Also under the spotlight were the state-of-the art electronically controlled adaptive dampers (standard on Sport Line and Luxury Line models), which help deliver both handling precision and ride comfort. This has been achieved through exhaustive testing on some of the most challenging road surfaces in Europe. In addition, different springs and extensive tuning of the steering and the dampers in terms of hardware and software help deliver agile driving dynamics and a unique sense of connection between car and driver. Featuring sophisticated design and advanced construction, the turbocharged four-cylinder units are available in two guises - a 2.0-litre petrol with either 197PS or 245PS, and 200PS 2.2-litre diesel. A key feature of the 2.0 turbo petrol engine is the optimised size of the turbine wheel used in the turbocharger. Not only does this compact arrangement allow for quicker spool-up of the unit to eliminate turbo lag, it also results in even stronger low-end torque delivery for greater responsiveness, which is particularly welcome when overtaking. A balance shaft module reduces engine vibration for unrivalled smoothness even at high revs.Also available is a 2.2-litre diesel engine that produces 200PS and a strong 440Nm torque. Featuring a lightweight aluminium construction, it offers exceptional refinement and efficiency. Fuel economy is excellent and has been achieved through a focus on reducing internal friction and the use of a common-rail fuel injection system that runs at 2,200 bar of pressure, enabling all-new G70 to meet the strictest European regulations in the form of the current Euro 6d and RDE2 (Real Driving Emissions Stage 2) assessments.
