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.

As a practical user of the i30 1.5 wagon and the Skoda Scala, I can generally say the Hyundai is the better car. Why?

- Better cabin insulation
- More space for the driver, with a wider range of steering-wheel adjustment
- Interior is better made and fitted
- More comfortable driving position
- Handles better
- Stronger brakes

Cons:
- Higher fuel consumption
- Overall less modern styling
- Slightly weaker headlights vs. the Skoda
