Genesis Reveals the G70 Shooting Brake for European Markets


Genesis Motor Europe revealed it’s G70 Shooting Brake for savvy European customers. G70 Shooting Brake is what we in Australia call a “station wagon” version of the G70 sedan. Australian station wagon sales are slipping so it remains to be seen whether Genesis Australia will release it here.

The Shooting Brake has been a favourite in European automotive, even those in the luxury market. The G70 Shooting Brake has SUV practicality without the SUV bulk.
