AFTER SHOWING ITS NEW Shooting Brake (station wagon to you and I) at Goodwood, Genesis has introduced new G70 Shooting Brake to Australia, bringing the timeless appeal of a sleek coupe-styled luxury sports car with the increased luggage space of a wagon inside.
G70 Shooting Brake showcases “distinctly Korean styling” with a rear treatment featuring a single-piece glass hatch and integrated rear spoiler.
The new tailgate and boot design make G70 more practical than ever before. Cargo volume in G70 Shooting Brake expands to 465 litres, compared with 330 litres for sedan model (VDA figures).
At the front G70 Shooting Brake applies the defining ‘Athletic Elegance’ design philosophy with headlining Quad Lamp architecture & Genesis signature Crest Grille.
G70 Shooting Brake features an array of technology including a 12.3-inch 3D digital cluster display and 10.25-inch satellite navigation infotainment system, an extensive Genesis Active Safety Control suite and 10 airbags.
Underpinning G70 Shooting Brake’s dynamic image are a 179kW 2.0-litre turbo engine and rear-wheel drive platform.
Luxurious upholsteries and trims and a range of personalisation options complete a tempting package.
“G70 Shooting Brake brings new allure to the G70 model line with its classic coupe-wagon styling, superb performance and an array of safety and convenience technology,” Genesis Motors Australia Chief Executive Officer, Jun Heo said.

MULTIMEDIA
12.3-inch 3D instrument cluster – Luxury Package
G70 Shooting Brake features a standard 12.3-inch full screen stereoscopic 3D instrument cluster, which recognises the driver’s eyes through a cluster mounted sensor and presents the display in 3D without the need for special glasses.
The 3D cluster has three themes, which can also be linked to the vehicle Drive Mode. 3D intensity can be adjusted by the driver in the vehicle settings menu.
10.25-inch Navigation System
The integrated widescreen presents a Genesis-themed user interface featuring intuitively laid out menus, and includes features such as Sounds of Nature, privacy mode, voice memo, and split screen functionality.
Full screen navigation and Apple CarPlay are presented in high quality, and Surround View Monitor displayed in high resolution.
The system also includes a steering wheel-mounted custom button which can be mapped to numerous functions, and a multi-Bluetooth connection function that makes it easy switch between Bluetooth media sources.
COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE
Panorama glass sunroof
G70 Shooting Brake comes standard with a wide panorama glass sunroof with power tilt/slide glass and a power sunblind finished to match the interior.
Smart Boot
The G70 Shooting Brake’s rear hatch will automatically open after sounding an alert and flashing the hazard lights when a person carrying the vehicle’s smart key enters the detection zone (50 to 100cm behind the rear hatch).
Heated and ventilated front seats
Heated and ventilated front seats bring year-round comfort and can be activated by the driver and front passenger, or automatically using the auto comfort control feature, which is accessible in the climate control settings.
Electro-Chromatic Mirrors (ECM)
Electro-Chromatic exterior rear-view mirrors (ECM) provide automatic auto-dimming to reduce glare when driving at night. They also feature power adjustment and power folding, and incorporate puddle lamps and a heating function, for complete convenience.
Touch Type Front Door Handles
Capacitive door locking and unlocking pads are cleverly incorporated into G70 Shooting Brake’s front door handles, replacing conventional buttons to create a clean side profile.
The vehicle can be locked with a light press of the touch pad while holding the smart key, while unlocking is as simple as grabbing the handle to open the door – no need to touch the smart key.
Wireless (Qi standard) charger
A wireless (Qi standard) smartphone charger is designed to accommodate large devices, and provides a 15W output for quick charging, and an integrated cooling fan.
Laminated front door glass
Laminated glass is applied to the driver and front passenger door glass, in addition to the windscreen to minimise unwanted noise intrusion into the cabin.
