Genesis G70

The Genesis G70 blends sleek, low-slung styling with a cabin that feels more bespoke than bargain-bin, delivering driver-focused dynamics that make long runs and twisty roads equally entertaining. With premium materials, thoughtful tech and a value proposition that nudges past its German rivals, it’s the kind of compact executive that feels serious but doesn’t take itself too seriously.

I used to have a petrol Civic and recently had the chance to drive the Civic hybrid. What a difference! Of course you’ve got to buy it! It’s a car that puts a big grin on your face behind the wheel. Sporty, eye-catching design.
