How many Genesis G70s are left in Great Britain?

There were 243 Genesis G70s licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 1 declared off the road (SORN). That is the most on the road at any year end since 2021.

Genesis G70 MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Genesis G70s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Genesis G70 engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 246 Genesis G70s licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 54.9% have an engine of 1,901cc to 2,000cc, and 45.1% have an engine of 2,101cc to 2,200cc. The share with an engine of 1,901cc to 2,000cc has grown from 48.9% in 2022 to 54.9%. Petrols made up 48.9% of those licensed in 2022 and 54.9% in 2025.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Genesis G70 fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Genesis G70 from 2021, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2021 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 31.9 to 44.8 mpg, with CO2 of 166 to 201 g/km.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “G70”, “G70 Shooting Brake”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Genesis G70 safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Genesis G70 in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Genesis G70. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
