The Genesis G70 is now available in a shapely station wagon variant called the Shooting Brake.
It’s on sale now, available in one fully-loaded variant with a single powertrain but the option of a no-cost sport styling package.
That means it packs performance hardware like Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential, though sadly it isn’t available with the sedan’s optional twin-turbocharged 3.3-litre V6 engine.
It’s priced at $79,000 before on-roads, or $2000 more than a comparably-equipped G70 sedan.
Though it’s perhaps even sleeker than the sedan, there’s more cargo space on offer: 465L, against a titchy 330L for the sedan.
