Described as a world first, the 3D digital instrument cluster in the Genesis G70 is now available to order in South Korea on the range-topping 3.3T Sports Prestige trim level. What’s three-dimensional about the 12.3-inch screen, you might be wondering?
For starters, the eyes of the driver are tracked by the system, using stereoscopy to give the illusion of depth. For those who find this technology nothing more than a gimmick that’s hard on the sight, Genesis is much obliged to switch to 2D at the touch of a button.
The luxury division of Hyundai also makes a case for customization, with the digital instrument cluster sporting anything from 3D satellite navigation to a lap timer. In total, three 3D themes are available, going by the names of Modern, Space, and Edge.
Switch the G70 into Sport mode, and the instrument cluster highlights the most important pieces of information: engine revolutions, speed, and gear. Genesis hasn’t announced if this option will make its way on lesser models, let alone in the United States of America.
The United States is the make-or-break market for the G70 compact executive sedan, which can be had with 2.0 liters or 3.3 liters and four or six cylinders. There’s even a manual transmission available for the 2.0-liter turbo, which develops 252 horsepower (255 PS) and 260 pound-feet (352 Nm) of torque.
Higher up, the 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 has similar suck-squeeze-bang-blow to the engine in the Kia Stinger GT (365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet). The MSRP for the G70 starts at $34,900, and if you want all-wheel drive, prepare $2,000 on top of the retail price.
At the very top of the lineup, the 3.3T Prestige in Design Edition flavor costs $48,750 and $50,750, respectively. Customers who want Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, sportier brake pads, and a firmer suspension setup can go for the Dynamic Edition, priced at $50,250. Like the Design, the Dynamic is limited to 400 examples for the 2019 model year.
