Genesis G70
The entry-level luxury sedan in the Genesis lineup is a solid response to German stalwarts, even more so now with a standard 2.5-litre engine producing 300 horsepower. Alternatively, customers can select a twin-turbo 3.3-litre V6 that delivers up to 368 horsepower. Genesis has talked about offering hybrids, so a gas-electric G70 could be coming in the near future and improve fuel economy. The interior is fairly spacious but definitely not the trunk.
