The short answer
2027 G70 Updates
The 2027 Genesis G70 transitions to a single 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter engine, as the 3.3T V6 has been discontinued. While the model year remains a carryover, Genesis has standardized wireless charging and simplified the trim lineup to seven options.

Genesis calls the 2027 G70 a carryover model year, but carryover does not mean nothing changed. The biggest news is under the hood: the 3.3T V6 is gone, and every 2027 G70 uses the turbocharged 2.5T four-cylinder, rated at up to 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Genesis also reshuffled the trim lineup, made wireless charging standard and dropped several items, including the electronically controlled suspension, rear model badging and some exterior colors.
For sport sedan shoppers in Orlando, the practical question is whether the 2027 still has what you want, or whether a 2026 is the better match. Here is each change, what it means behind the wheel and how we would decide.
Key details
Is the V6 still available for 2027?
No, for 2027 the G70 is offered with the 2.5T only. Genesis rates the 2.5T at up to 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, and it works through a standard eight-speed automatic.
If a V6 G70 was at the top of your list, a new 2026 is now your one route to it.
Status check
2027 G70 scorecard: confirmed, new, dropped and not announced
Here is a one-glance view of where each part of the 2027 G70 stands.
| Topic | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wireless charging | New for 2027 | A wireless charger, once reserved for the 2.5T Prestige and above, now comes on the whole lineup. |
| 3.3T V6 | Discontinued | The V6 is dropped, leaving the 2.5T as the only engine. |
| Prestige Graphite drivetrain | New for 2027 | This trim is now sold exclusively with all-wheel drive. |
| Engine output | Confirmed | The turbo four delivers up to 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft. |
| Trunk | Confirmed | All 2027 cars use a manual trunk. |
| Suspension option | Discontinued | Electronically Controlled Suspension, previously available on the Prestige Graphite, is not offered for 2027. |
| Trim-by-trim color list | Not announced | Not announced yet |
The lineup
What changed in the trim lineup?
Genesis revised the 2027 lineup to seven trims: 2.5T RWD, 2.5T AWD, 2.5T Sport Advanced RWD, 2.5T Sport Advanced AWD, 2.5T Sport Prestige RWD, 2.5T Sport Prestige AWD and 2.5T Prestige Graphite AWD. AWD can be ordered on the 2.5T, the Sport Advanced and the Sport Prestige, and for 2027 the Prestige Graphite is offered exclusively with all-wheel drive.
The Prestige Graphite stands apart with unique 19-inch wheels, black mirror caps, black Brembo brake calipers with red lettering and Ultramarine Blue Nappa leather seating surfaces. It is the most visually distinctive G70 in the lineup.
In Central Florida, rear-wheel drive is all many drivers need, and the RWD trims carry slightly better EPA ratings, though every trim can be had with AWD if you want extra traction in our afternoon downpours.
Key details
What features were added or removed for 2027?
Wireless phone charging, previously available on the 2.5T Prestige and above, is now standard on every 2027 G70. That is the one clear addition. On the other side of the ledger:
- Electronically Controlled Suspension, which was available on the Prestige Graphite, is no longer offered.
- Rear exterior badging for the model, powertrain and drivetrain is no longer offered.
- Kawah Blue and Cavendish Red, previously available on Sport models, and Vatna Gray, previously available on all models, are no longer offered.
Every 2027 G70 also has a manual trunk. The badge change leaves a cleaner rear end. If adaptive damping or one of the departed colors is a must-have for you, though, those are good reasons to look at a 2026, and it is worth confirming the paint and interior pairing for your trim before ordering a 2027.
What stays the same on the 2027 G70?
The G70 keeps a 10-airbag system that includes a front center airbag, which Genesis calls a segment first. The standard eight-speed automatic carries on as well.
Powertrain
2027 G70 mpg and fuel
Genesis lists EPA estimates of 21 mpg city, 29 highway and 24 combined for RWD trims. AWD trims are rated 20 city, 28 highway and 23 combined. The EPA lists the 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as running on premium gasoline, so keep that in mind at the pump.
Key details
2026 or 2027: which G70 makes more sense?
Lean toward a 2026
Lean toward a 2026 when the 3.3T V6, the electronically controlled suspension, rear model badging, or Kawah Blue, Cavendish Red or Vatna Gray paint is on your must-have list, since none of those are offered for 2027. If one of those is the reason you want a G70, focus your search on 2026 models.
Lean toward a 2027
Lean toward a 2027 if standard wireless charging and the all-wheel-drive-only Prestige Graphite suit you, or if you like a clean, unbadged rear end. The differences are about equipment and options more than personality, so book a drive on familiar Orlando roads to settle which configuration feels right.
