Genesis G70 Shooting Brake Dilancarkan Untuk Eropah

Berdasarkan sedan G70, ini akan menjadi model Genesis ke-5 untuk debut di Eropah.

Keterujaan terhadap kereta station wagon atau ‘estet’ Volvo, Mazda6, Mercedes wagon dan juga Audi RS wagon yang laju dan menarik tetap popular di kalangan pembeli Eropah sedangkan seluruh dunia, termasuk Amerika Utara di mana sekitar satu dekad yang lalu station wagon ini sama popular dengan trak pikap, selera pembeli telah beralih ke arah SUV.

Kehendak terhadap wagon telah berkurang secara drastik dan hari ini lebih melayani generasi pembeli kereta yang lebih tua yang mencari station wagon klasik. Jadi mengapa Genesis ingin memasuki segmen station wagon? Malah station wagon Volvo yang pernah popular diganti oleh SUVnya.

Diperkenalkan, G70 Shooting Brake yang pada dasarnya adalah versi booted G70 Sedan. Penambahan edisi khusus Eropah baharu untuk rangkaian Genesis akan menjadi model kelima dalam barisan sulung pembuat kereta premium Korea Selatan ini. Kemunculan sulung tahun ini dengan sedan besar G80 dan SUV besar GV80, diikuti oleh SUV bersaiz pertengahan GV70 dan varian sedan dan estet G70.

G70 Shooting Brake ini hampir sama dengan saudara sedannya. Menampilkan fasia depannya yang diperbaharui, dengan reka bentuk lampu depan berpisah mengapit gril depan berbentuk berlian besar.

Di bawah hud yang tidak berubah mungkin terdapat enjin empat silinder turbocharged 249hp 2.0 liter atau 366hp 3.3-turbo twin-V6 yang akan memacu sama ada hanya roda belakang atau keempat-empat roda station wagon bergaya ini.

Harga G70 Shooting Brake juga belum diumumkan secara rasmi setakat ini, tetapi disahkan bahawa model khusus ini akan menjadi eksklusif untuk Eropah. Oleh itu, peluangnya sangat kecil untuk tersedia di sini secara rasmi dalam masa terdekat.

PRESS RELEASE: Genesis Motor Europe has revealed the G70 Shooting Brake, a car designed with European customers in mind.

The new G70 Shooting Brake is based on the G70 sedan revealed last year, combining enhanced practicality with the brand’s award-winning design.

The Shooting Brake name refers to a body style firmly rooted in European automotive history and favoured by customers in the premium luxury sector. The G70 Shooting Brake will offer greater practicality, and will further expand the Genesis line-up to meet customers’ needs.

The G70 Shooting Brake is the same size as the new G70, measuring in at 4,685 mm long, 1,850 mm wide and 1,400 mm tall, with a 2,835 mm wheelbase. Meanwhile, the luggage space is 40 percent larger than the G70 sedan and its rear seats can be split-folded in versatile 4:2:4 format.

Inheriting its design from the new G70 sedan, the G70 Shooting Brake’s signature Crest Grille is set lower than the Quad Lamps, which spread outward to evoke a sprinter’s pre-race posture and highlight the model’s athletic design.

When viewed from the side, the combination of the single-piece glass hatch extending to the rear, with the floating integral spoiler, communicates the G70 Shooting Brake’s athletic intent.

At the rear, luggage space is maximised by moving the tailgate hinges forward. While the Quad Lamps which underpin the Two Lines signature, the epitome of the Genesis brand identity – extend to the surface of the hatch to create a unique impression.

With the G70 Shooting Brake, the fifth Genesis model to arrive in Europe, the brand will further strengthen its position by launching a model that demonstrates its commitment to the European market.

On 4 May, Genesis officially announced its plans for the European market, the home of premium luxury cars. The brand will commence European sales later this year, starting with Germany, the UK and Switzerland.

Orders for Genesis’ luxury sedan, the G80, and its SUV, the GV80, will open in summer, with the G70 sports sedan and the GV70 urban SUV following soon after.

Dominique Boesch, Managing Director of Genesis Motor Europe, said: “We are delighted to reveal this bespoke product – tailored for our European customers – so soon after revealing news of our arrival into the region.

“The G70 Shooting Brake marries luxury and European automotive heritage with our design philosophy of Athletic Elegance. Our fifth car in Europe, the Shooting Brake will stand apart through its unique design; it is a clear statement of our commitment to the region.”
