The Genesis G70 is a compact luxury sports sedan that challenges the German establishment head-on — combining rear-wheel-drive dynamics with a richly appointed interior at a price point that undercuts many of its rivals on a like-for-like specification basis. The 2026 G70 starts from SAR 193,451 in Saudi Arabia.
The turbocharged 2.0-litre engine delivers 252 through an Automatic gearbox across all variants. The entry Prestige trim provides a well-equipped starting point with leather upholstery, an infotainment system, and driver assistance features. The range-topping Sport Royal, from SAR 230,000, adds a panoramic roof, Lexicon premium audio, ventilated front seats, a head-up display, and sport-tuned suspension — a meaningful step up for buyers who want the full performance-luxury package. The G70 is competitive on fuel efficiency for its class, given the power output on offer.
Pros: rear-wheel-drive dynamics at this price are increasingly rare in the luxury sedan segment — the G70 steers and handles with an involvement that the front-wheel-bias rivals struggle to match. Interior quality is genuinely premium: stitched leather, solid metal controls, and a driver-focused cockpit layout. Cons: Genesis's service network across Saudi Arabia is still growing, meaning buyers outside major cities may find servicing less convenient than with established German or Japanese luxury brands. Boot space is on the smaller side for the class, which may be a consideration for family buyers.
Used 2023 G70 examples currently list from around SAR 135,000 on CarSwitch — approximately 30% below the new entry price, offering meaningful savings for buyers comfortable with a recent pre-owned example.
Buyers considering the G70 in Saudi Arabia regularly also cross-shop the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Audi A4 — all similarly priced executive sedans with strong brand recognition. The G70's advantage lies in richer standard specification and sharper driving feel; the German trio holds an edge on resale value and service network breadth.
How much does the Genesis G70 cost in Saudi Arabia?
Five cars separated by less than the price of a small hatchback, which makes the specification the only real decision. SAR 193,451 buys the Prestige and SAR 230,000 the Sport Royal at the top, with Premium, Royal and Sport Premium filling the gaps in between with equipment rather than engineering.
Which G70 trim is the one to buy?
The Royal in the middle. It carries the interior materials and the driver assistance that make the G70 read as a premium car, and because the 2.0-litre engine and its 252 bhp are common across the range, the versions above it are buying appearance and seat trim. The Prestige at the bottom is honest but the step up costs little.
Genesis G70 or Audi A4?
The G70 is the driver's car of the pair — rear-wheel drive, a tauter chassis and a warranty longer than any German rival offers — and it undercuts them on price while carrying more standard kit. The Audi A4 is better finished, quieter and considerably easier to sell on. The BMW 3 Series is the most complete car and the most expensive to run.
What does a Genesis G70 cost to run in Saudi Arabia?
Around 9.6 L/100 Km, and parts costs are modest for a premium saloon because the engine and platform are shared with Hyundai's high-volume cars. The caveat is coverage rather than cost: the authorised network is smaller than the German brands operate, so confirm where your nearest service point sits before you commit to the car.
Does the Genesis G70 hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?
It gives up ground to the Korean average: about 41% after five years against roughly 52%, a premium badge without the resale history of its German rivals behind it. Cars reach inspection at a median of around 70,000 km, deep enough into ownership that suspension bushings, brake condition and the behaviour of the twin-clutch gearbox when cold matter more than the odometer. Have the individual car inspected and read the report before you settle on a price.
