AS GOOD TO DRIVE AS TO LOOK AT

With all-new Genesis 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.

"With its incredibly rigid platform, the G70 Shooting Brake has the perfect foundations for exceptional vehicle dynamics. Like the G70 saloon driving enjoyment has been the top priority, but not at the expense of comfort refinement and safety. Care has also been taken to ensure the G70 Shooting Brake responds with the same sense of connection and security even when fully loaded, making it as fun to drive on the commute as on an action-packed weekend away." Tyrone Johnson, Director, Vehicle Development at Genesis Brand

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 Genesis 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. Even when fully loaded and at high speed it responds with the same assurance and precision as G70 saloon, instilling supreme confidence behind the wheel.

Perfected in Europe for an exceptional driving experience

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+.

"With all-new G70 Shooting Brake we wanted to ensure that the Genesis hallmarks of driver engagement and dynamic handling remained key to the car's appeal, yet also making it a machine that's ready for anything. As a result it provides a pleasing connection between the driver and the road, helping make the most of the impressive agility and responsiveness on offer, even when hauling the largest loads. And as ever, this dynamic character is backed up by a calming sense of comfort and refinement." Tyrone Johnson, Director, Vehicle Development at Genesis Brand

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. This ensures all-new G70 Shooting Brake is uniquely satisfying to drive yet also totally equipped to deal with the increased luggage loads expected for estate modes.

In addition to these comprehensive changes, all-new G70 Shooting Brake's agile and assured handling is further aided by the use of dedicated tires for Genesis, selected in cooperation with Michelin. Models fitted with the standard 19-inch alloy wheels benefit from the Pilot Sport 4, while Sport Line models equipped with a petrol engine are equipped with the even higher performance Pilot Sport 4 S. Both tyres have been tuned specifically for all-new G70 Shooting Brake, providing excellent grip, driver communication, ride comfort, refinement and efficiency in all conditions.

Sport Line versions of all-new Genesis G70 Shooting Brake feature a comprehensive performance package with a unique sports exhaust, high-performance Brembo brakes with enhanced performance pads and additional weight reduction measures. Crucially it benefits from the addition of a mechanical limited slip differential (LSD) that generates even greater traction out of corners for an even more dynamic and engaging driving experience.

Smartstream Turbocharged Engines

All-new Genesis G70 Shooting Brake uses the same powerful and efficient engines as all-new G70 saloon. 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.

"By using the same sophisticated Smartstream turbocharged engines as the G70 saloon, the G70 Shooting Brake retains the typical Genesis dynamic character and performance. Featuring the latest technologies these powerful turbocharged engines provide the smoothness and response you'd expect from the brand, giving the car an alert and eager personality. Yet the use of cutting edge systems and materials means there is no compromise in efficiency" Tyrone Johnson, Director, Vehicle Development at Genesis Brand

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.

Genesis G70 Shooting Brake uses a direct injection system (GDI) for optimum fuel use, while efficiency is further improved by the use of a motor-driven intake variable valve timing system and two-stage relief oil pump.

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.

Both engines are fitted with an in-house developed 8-speed automatic transmission that offers rev-matching technology and a gear-holding facility for tight corners. Tuned specifically for all-new G70 Shooting Brake, this transmission offers outstanding NVH performance, enhancing the premium refinement. Shift paddles on the steering wheel allow fast and responsive gear changes to be made manually, fully in tune with all-new G70 Shooting Brake's dynamic character.

Drive Mode

The availability of four drive modes (Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+) allows the driver's experience behind the wheel to be tailored to suit the road and the driver's mood. At the touch of a button each setting carefully retunes the steering and damper response, as well as powertrain attributes such as throttle and transmission feedback to either enhance efficiency, promote a more relaxed environment or prime the car for dynamic driving.

STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY

All-new Genesis G70 Shooting Brake delivers advanced, cutting-edge technology that enhances convenience and enjoyment for drivers and passengers.
