TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AutoGuide.com's team of automotive experts is excited to announce that the new Genesis G70 has been awarded as the outlet's 2019 Car of the Year.
"This luxury sport sedan not only raises the bar for its own brand and segment but the industry in general. Driving dynamics, luxury, features, cool factor — the Genesis G70 has it all and the automaker has worked hard for this win," said AutoGuide.com Editor-in-Chief Jodi Lai. "Our editors were unanimously impressed by the Genesis G70 — it's an overall excellent package that was smartly designed, cleverly engineered and fairly priced."
The Genesis G70 faced some tough competition to win this award. The luxury sport sedan was up against the efficient Honda Insight, comfortable Nissan Altima and funky Hyundai Veloster.
Genesis is proud that the awards keep rolling in. This is the second time a Genesis product has been awarded an AutoGuide.com Car of the Year. The G90 also won in 2015.
"At Genesis, we are focused on delivering premium vehicles that rise to the top of their respective segments," said Erwin Raphael, executive director, Genesis Motor America. "We are so proud that the highly respected AutoGuide.com site's editors have acknowledged the inherent qualities and capabilities of the G70 in naming it their 2019 Car of the Year."
The AutoGuide.com editors said the G70 really stands out. Genesis as a brand is relatively new and can't rest on its laurels or reputation just yet, and it is really refreshing to see such a well-thought-out vehicle. Once you get behind the wheel, it becomes obvious that Genesis is serious about not only making great cars, but also about disrupting the industry. The Genesis G70 scored high in all of our metrics including powertrain, chassis, exterior, interior, and marketplace significance. It's a well-rounded and complete car with excellent attention to detail, coming together in a truly desirable package. Genesis looked beyond the spec sheet to infuse the G70 with something special, and it succeeded.
