For years, the German car makers have had a monopoly on the compact executive saloon market. The BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class dominate this sector of the industry to such an extent that they sometimes find themselves among the UK’s most popular models, up there with the Ford Fiestas and Nissan Qashqais. But as a result, these cars have become a bit predictable and unimaginative. Sure, they’re brilliant, but where’s the exclusivity?
That’s where the chasing pack comes in. For those who want a four-door saloon that isn’t German, it has long been a shootout between Jaguar, Lexus and Volvo. But now there’s a new option from South Korea, and it’s called the Genesis G70. Built using know-how from sister company Hyundai, it’s here to compete with the Jaguar XE and Volvo S60, but is it good enough to match its European counterparts?
