Key Points
- Genesis to release G70 Shooting Brake in base and Sport Line trim
- Long-roof variant to be sold with 2.0-litre, turbo four-cylinder engine only
- List price starts at $79,000
The Genesis G70 Shooting Brake is set to go on sale in Australia, launching at just under $80,000.
As the long-roof version of the luxury Korean manufacturer's G70 sedan, the Shooting Brake comes in with high expectations, combining the four-door's eloquent style with wagon practicality.
Genesis has confirmed just two variants will be offered, with the "base" G70 Shooting Brake equipped with the same level of features and tech as the Luxury variant of the sedan, as the Sport Line package is now available as a no-cost option.

Engine, drivetrain and fuel economy
Just one engine will be on offer for the G70 Shooting Brake locally, the 2.0-litre, turbocharged four-cylinder petrol also found in the sedan.
Producing 179kW and 353Nm, the four-pot's power is delivered to the rear wheels through an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, with fuel economy expected to be around the 9L/100km figure achieved by the equivalent sedan.
Disappointingly, Genesis has dropped its flagship 3.3-litre, twin-turbocharged V6 from the G70 Shooting Brake line-up, with buyers missing out on the 274kW and 510Nm engine which powers sedan variants – as well as the Kia Stinger.

Dimensions
Despite the extended roof, the external dimensions of the Shooting Brake are identical to the sedan, measuring up at 4685mm in length, 1850mm wide and 1400mm tall, while riding on a 2835mm wheelbase.
Boot space has grown by just over 40 per cent, up from the sedan's 330 litres with back seats up to 465 litres – slightly down on the BMW 3 Series wagon which boasts a 500 litre capacity.
