Worth adding to your 2025 checks

Accelerate hard onto a highway and confirm the car pulls cleanly, with no limp mode or capped speed.
Scan for stored codes, especially P0191 and P061B00, before buying.
Run the VIN for open recalls and ask for records of any fuel pump or software work.

Which G70 is it?

EPA figures for each version of the 2025 Genesis G70. Use them to confirm you are looking at the version that was advertised, and as a yardstick on the test drive.

Version	Drive	EPA rating
2.5L 4-cyl	AWD, RWD	23–24 mpg
3.3L 6-cyl	AWD, RWD	19–20 mpg

The 2025 Genesis G70 was sold in two versions. Confirm which one this is from the window sticker, the engine cover, or the VIN report before you compare prices.
Reset the trip computer at the start of the drive. A G70 that averages well under the EPA 19 mpg combined on a mixed route may have an engine or tire problem.
