Genesis presented a new version of its G70 sedan this week, just ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show (now Automobility LA, officially) at which it will be displayed to the public. Note that the 2026 Genesis G70 Graphite is destined exclusively for the North American market.
Note also that for one reason or another, the model is called G70 Graphite in Canada, but G70 Prestige Graphite south of the border.
This special edition of the 2026 G70 sedan gets a modified electronic suspension, unique interior and exterior colours and other exclusive interior elements. If you visit the LA show between November 21 and 30, you’ll be able to see it up close.
2026 Genesis G70 Graphite – What’s new?
So what makes this variant so special? Well, here are the main differences:
- Suspension: Integration of electronically controlled sport suspension (ECS) with a 10-mm height reduction.
- Exterior aesthetic: Makalu Grey Matte paint and black trim elements.
- Cabin: New combination of blue leather and orange contrast stitching.
In addition to that unique Makalu Grey Matte exterior shade, the body features dark chrome details on the signature grille, window surrounds, and rear trim.
The vehicle is equipped with 19-inch multi-spoke wheels with a dark finish. Buyers also get black mirror caps and black brake calipers adorned with red lettering.
Interior
The interior features Nappa leather upholstery in Ultramarine Blue with orange contrast accents. The headliner is covered in suede microfibre. The cockpit includes a 12.3-inch fully digital 3D instrument panel as well as specific startup graphics for this model.
Powertrain of the 2026 Genesis G70 Graphite
The G70 Graphite is powered by the brand's 3.3L twin-turbo V6 engine, and an all-wheel drive (AWD) configuration. The main technical modification for the chassis is the electronically controlled sport suspension (ECS) that lowers the car by 10 mm compared to the standard version to improve stability.
Technology in the 2026 Genesis G70
The Graphite is equipped with the manufacturer's usual assistance systems, notably forward collision-avoidance assist and blind-spot view monitor. The model also features a power-opening trunk.
