2027 Genesis G70 Drops Twin-Turbo V-6 Option Ahead of Possible Retirement

According to regulatory filings uncovered and reported by Car and Driver, the 2027 Genesis G70 will no longer offer its twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V-6 engine. The standard turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four will now serve as the sole engine choice for what is widely expected to be the sedan's final year on the market.

Regulatory Filings Confirm the Change

Recent submissions to both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for vehicle identification numbers (VIN) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for fuel economy ratings show only the 2.5T powertrain listed for the 2027 model year. The high-output 3.3T model is absent from both databases.

Genesis representatives have not yet released official marketing details, but the automaker confirmed to Car and Driver that full 2027 model-year specifications will be announced soon.

2.5T vs. 3.3T: What G70 Enthusiasts Are Losing

The retirement of the 3.3-liter twin-turbo V-6 removes the most potent configuration from the G70 lineup:

• 3.3T Twin-Turbo V-6 (Discontinued for 2027): Produced 365 horsepower and powered the sedan from 0 to 60 mph in a quick 4.5 seconds. It was available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive layouts.

• 2.5T Turbocharged Inline-4 (Standard for 2027): Generates 300 horsepower with a 0-to-60 mph sprint of roughly 5.9 seconds. It will carry forward as the exclusive powertrain in rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations.

Is This the Final Lap for the Genesis G70?

Dropping the performance-oriented engine reinforces earlier reports that Genesis plans to phase out the G70 after the 2027 model year. With luxury consumer demand leaning heavily toward utility models like the GV70 and GV80, traditional sports sedans continue to face headwinds.

Buying Advice: Act on Remaining 2026 Inventory

For buyers set on acquiring a brand-new V-6 sports sedan from Genesis, timing is critical. Dealerships still hold stock of 2026 Genesis G70 3.3T models in both rear- and all-wheel-drive formats. Once 2027 production arrives, new orders will be restricted strictly to the 300-hp four-cylinder configuration.
