Genesis G70 Shooting Brake review: An attractive break from convention

According to Genesis, the G70 Shooting Brake is a car ‘designed for Europe’ – but how does it actually get on?

Genesis is in a bit of a new model frenzy. Initially arriving on the scene with the G80 saloon and GV80 SUV, it has added the G70 compact saloon and GV70 crossover.
