Genesis CEO William Lee confirms that the Hyundai luxury brand has a “study” for a shooting brake version of the G70. The G70 shooting brake would be derived from the facelifted G70.

It’s a G70 facelift wagon.
I don’t know yet whether it’s called the G70 shooting brake or just a wagon.
What’s unfortunate is that it’s the same as a sedan near the C pillar.
This reminds me of the old Avante Touring.
I think it’s going to be a little awkward.
Does anyone know when it will be released?
It’s one of the most sought-after models in Genesis’ re-entry into Europe.
Because it’s a very popular wagon body in Europe.
It’s based on the G70 facelift, and you can see what’s similar to the sedan in the headlamps and tail lamps seen between the gastrointestinal membranes.
The rivals, as you know, are C-class wagon, 3 series wagon, etc.
We believe he will play an important role in the European market for the settlement of Genesis.
Genesis G70 station wagon
Genesis G70 Shooting Brake will become almost the only modern station wagon.

SEOUL, KOREA – May 12, 2021 –Today, Genesis unveiled the images of the G70 Shooting Brake, a car designed with European customers in mind.
The G70 Shooting Brake is based on the new G70 sedan that was released last year, adding an element of practicality to the exterior with increased trunk space while maintaining the athletic exterior elements that are indicative of the Genesis design philosophy, ‘Athletic Elegance.’
The name “Shooting Brake” refers to a car body style that is firmly rooted in the automotive history of Europe, and is a reoccurring theme for manufacturers in the premium luxury sector.
The G70 Shooting Brake will be an important model for Genesis. As a premium car, it will offer customers greater practicality, especially in Europe, and it will further expand the Genesis lineup to meet various 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 evokes 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 that extend to the rear and the “floating type” integral spoiler creates a unique impression to the exterior that communicates the G70 Shooting Brake’s athletic intent.
At the rear, the trunk, which maximizes space by moving the tailgate hinge forward, embodies the benefits of functional design. The Quad Lamps, which represent the epitome of Genesis’ design identity, extend to the surface of the hatch to create a unique impression.
The G70 Shooting Brake’s interior inherits the driver-focused design of the new G70 sedan, which resembles the cockpit of a fighter jet.
“The G70 Shooting Brake combines the type of athletic exterior design that reflects Genesis’ design identity with the practicality of the Shooting Brake,” said a Genesis official. “We look forward to meeting the needs of European customers with this strategic model that caters to the preferences of the market.”
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 this 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.”
G70 Shooting Brake makes its global debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Goodwood House, England: The highly anticipated Genesis G70 Shooting Brake was revealed at Goodwood Festival of Speed today by Dominique Boesch, Managing Director for Genesis Motor Europe, and the Duke of Richmond.
The G70 Shooting Brake, the fifth vehicle in the brand’s growing vehicle lineup for Europe, embodies the award-winning design philosophy of Genesis while honouring the rich history of the Shooting Brake tradition with its iconic design.
To celebrate the global debut, Genesis commissioned a one-shot first-person view (FPV) journey through Goodwood House and up the famous hill climb as it chased the car. You can view it here.
Shot in glorious 4K high definition, using a 5″ FPV drone piloted by Miles Mulvagh and Harry Clifton, the drone reached speeds of up to 60 mph while tailing the G70 Shooting Brake driven by former British F2 rally champion and precision driver, Gethin Jones, up the 1,890-metre track.
Dominique Boesch, Managing Director for Genesis Motor Europe, commented: “We are thrilled to be here at Goodwood today to reveal this pivotal model for Genesis, our fifth car in the region. The iconic British festival, watched by millions, is the perfect destination to unveil our bespoke product tailored for European customers.
“We are also excited to invite fans to experience a different perspective on the iconic hill climb and stunning grounds here at Goodwood, connecting the British heritage and Korean influence, whilst showcasing the athleticism of the G70 Shooting Brake in an audacious film.”
Highlighting the luxury of Goodwood House, the film begins with an aerial shot of its opulent surroundings before the camera descends and enters the grand Egyptian Dining Room through the sash window. The camera passes the Duke of Richmond enjoying traditional Ginseng tea as he catches up on the latest news from Korea, the home of Genesis.
The car and drone then weave in and out of the trees along the iconic hill climb showcasing the dynamic styling and versatility of the G70 Shooting Brake, before coming to a stop at the top with the drone demonstrating the practicality of the Shooting Brake by landing gracefully in the boot.
Over the weekend, fans can see the all-new G70 Shooting Brake on the world-renowned hill climb, along with the recently launched GV80 SUV and G80 saloon and the G70 saloon and GV70 urban SUV, as well as viewing the full range at the Genesis Mobile Lounge.
On 4 May, Genesis officially announced its plans for the European market with the brand commencing sales later this year, starting with Germany, the UK and Switzerland.
Orders for the G80 saloon, and its GV80 SUV, open this summer, with the G70 Shooting Brake, GV70 SUV and G70 Saloon following soon after. The electrified G80 will soon follow as part of the brand’s lineup of three electric cars to be announced within the year.
