Life with a Genesis G70 Shooting Brake: Month 1<\/h3>\n

Welcoming the G70 to the fleet – 8 November 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

On our fleet, I\u2019ve gone from running a Citroe\u0308n C5 X to an Alpina D3 S Touring to a Genesis G70 Shooting Brake. So if you want to know what a niche posh wagon is like, it would appear I\u2019m your man.<\/p>\n

Still, nicer than yet another SUV, no? It is to me, anyway. Genesis sells some of those too, of course, and with or without electrification, but this G70 Shooting Brake is a compact executive estate of much more traditional style.<\/p>\n

Back when sales reps ruled the motorways and \u2018i\u2019 on the back of a car stood for \u2018important\u2019, many more cars were like this. It\u2019s a 4.7m-long and 1.85m-wide estate\u00a0\u2013 both dimensions less than 3cm from a BMW 3 Series Touring \u2013 with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. That\u2019s turbocharged too, to make 241bhp at 6200rpm, and drives the rear wheels only, through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.<\/p>\n

There are three models in the G70 Shooting Brake line-up. The \u00a339,545 Premium, without or with a \u00a34430 Luxury Pack, and the \u00a341,995 Sport, which this is. It takes the Premium\u2019s standard features (there are many) and adds things like a heated steering wheel, uprated brakes, leather seats, an electric tailgate, adjustable dampers anda limited-slip differential.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Into my third estate on the go, though, I have come to remember how much I enjoy cars like this. It\u2019s lower than so many crossed- over alternatives, and unlike the G70 saloon, which is a global car, Genesis\u2019s German-based team designed and made the estate specifically for Europe so that they could tune it just for the likes of us.<\/p>\n

A kerb weight of 1787kg is towards the upper end of where I\u2019d like it to be, but otherwise we\u2019re very much in the agreeable territory I\u2019d have wandered into as a travelling regional sales and service manager. Forward my calls to the car: I have fax machines to sell in a modern industrial park at the other end of the M4.<\/p>\n

At least, that would have been the case before benefit-in-kind tax rates for combustion and electric cars diverted quite so massively and has EV drivers paying a 2% benefit-in-kind tax rate, and G70 Shooting Brake drivers paying tax on 37% of the car\u2019s value on account of the 2.0-litre turbo\u2019s 217g\/km CO2 output. Which means it\u2019s a car for the private buyer. Which means you don\u2019t see very many.<\/p>\n

In fact, I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ve seen another since it arrived with us. That should be no huge surprise. If Genesis, the posh branch of Hyundai, is committed to us Europeans like Lexus (of Toyota) was, and Infiniti (parent: Nissan) ultimately wasn\u2019t, these things take time. Decades, not just years.<\/p>\n

Lexus has sold cars in the UK since 1990, when it moved 582 of its groundbreaking LS luxury saloons. Last year, it sold a little over 10,000 cars, which is pushing on for \u00a3500 million worth, so business well worth having, but still less than a tenth of the number of BMWs sold here, 33 years after the LS\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n

Globally, Genesis now sells more than 200,000 cars a year, which makes it about a third the size of Lexus and a tenth of BMW \u2013 both impressive numbers given it has only existed since 2015. But last year, the UK accounted for just 1000 of those. So it\u2019s a niche prospect.<\/p>\n

None the worse for it, in my view. And I think it deserves a wider audience than it\u2019s getting. So far, while it\u2019s early days, the G70 is proving a rewarding car to live with. It did take a few minutes to find and disable a shocking number of bongs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shortly after getting aboard the car for the first time in Twickenham, on the westbound M3 I was comfortably under the speed limit and about to divert onto the M25, but because I was driving roughly towards a 50mph average speed camera section, it wouldn\u2019t shut up about me doing over 50mph, even though I\u2019d have pulled off the motorway before I reached it. So I had to find and mute that, and then everything else.<\/p>\n

There are ways to make them stay off too. So a single, long deliberate press of the lane keeping assistance is now the only button I have to press when I set off, which is otherwise confusingly gnawing at the wheel within 30 seconds of leaving the driveway.<\/p>\n

The G70 has to have these things, of course. What it doesn\u2019t have to have but, praise be, does anyway is a number of big, easy-to-reach physical buttons. You’ll likely have read about my beef with the Volvo EX30\u2019s user interface. One of its engineers told me he believed the touchscreen was just as good to use as, if not better than, separate real buttons and dials.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t believe him then and I believed him even less when I returned to the UK and climbed back into the G70, popped on the heated seat and steering wheel, turned up the temperature, turned down the radio and adjusted the mirrors and the sensitivity of the windscreen wipers all with the merest cursory glance \u2013 and could do so without looking away from the road at all, if I tried. This stuff is vitally important. And, frankly, screw the arrogant, misguided car makers who think otherwise.<\/p>\n

Given that, I could almost not care how well the G70 Shooting Brake otherwise drives. Thankfully, I\u2019m finding that agreeable too, probably because it\u2019s lower than your average SUV. More on the dynamism, though, next time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Second Opinion<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u00a0had a quick go in Prior\u2019s G70 during a photoshoot recently (yes, I took a shooting break) and found it… fine. It sounds pretty fruity and steers neatly enough, but the shadow of the 3 Series looms large, and only a few thousand miles will determine whether the Genesis can step out from underneath it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
