Genesis has unveiled the new 2026 Genesis G70 Prestige Graphite, an exclusive trim designed specifically for the North American market. The G70 has become more appealing than ever, and it now features a similar trim with orange stitching as the GV70. We’re curious to know if this is just another attempt to revive a once-popular vehicle, or if Genesis genuinely intends to revitalize the model and is considering replacing it.
A Distinctive New Look for the G70 Lineup
The G70 Prestige Graphite differentiates itself through a series of exclusive design elements crafted to elevate the sedan’s sporty and modern character. The model debuts with its signature Ceres Blue exterior color, complemented by dark chrome accents throughout the Crest Grille, window surrounds, and rear garnish.
Additional exterior enhancements include:
- Dark-finish 19-inch multi-spoke wheels
- Black mirror caps
- Black brake calipers with red text
These elements come together to create a dynamic, performance-focused presence that stands apart within the G70 lineup.
Premium Interior with Exclusive Color Palette
Inside the cabin, Genesis delivers a unique blend of luxury and sportiness through exclusive Nappa Leather Ultramarine Blue upholstery enhanced by orange contrast stitching. A microfiber suede headliner adds another layer of sophistication, while the 12.3-inch full 3D digital instrument cluster provides an elevated, high-tech driving interface.
Unique startup graphics further reinforce the exclusive nature of the Prestige Graphite trim, creating a personalized and immersive experience from the moment the vehicle powers on.
Twin-Turbo V6 Power and Enhanced Handling
Under the hood, the G70 Prestige Graphite is powered by Genesis’ 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, available with both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. Known for its smooth power delivery and responsive acceleration, this engine remains one of the highlights of the G70 lineup.
The Prestige Graphite trim also features a sport electronic controlled suspension (ECS) with a 10 mm ride-height reduction, improving handling, agility, and stability. Advanced driver assistance technologies come standard, including:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Blind-Spot View Monitor
These features underscore Genesis’ continued commitment to safety, performance, and technological innovation.
