Better Than The V6? | 2026 Genesis G70 2.5T Prestige Review

The G70 is a precision instrument hiding behind a 3.3-liter marketing problem. We find out if the value G70 2.5T is actually the smarter driver's choice.

Horsepower often masks a lazy chassis. While the marketing team wants you to chase the 365 hp V6, the real story is in the 180 lb weight reduction over the front axle of this 2.5T. That mass difference transforms the G70 from a heavy sport sedan into a precise instrument that actually rewards trail braking and mid corner adjustments.

We diagnose the 2.5L turbo’s usable torque curve (311 lb-ft at just 1,650 RPM) and why Genesis including 4-piston Brembo brakes as standard equipment signals their intent for this specific trim. We also dive into critical owner intel regarding front brake vibration fixes and the reality of the Genesis dealer experience.
