Two distributors in Russia have been actively listing the Genesis G70 Shooting Brake as a 2023 model, with socialbites.ca noting that the wagon appeared in Russian advertisements during 2023. Listings across prominent markets show a steady stream of interests in this South Korean wagon, underscored by a price range that appeals to a broad segment of buyers looking for a balanced blend of performance and practicality. The advertisements indicate that stock is circulating in major cities and regions, with notices from St. Petersburg, the Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai, Irkutsk Oblast, and the Novosibirsk Oblast. Prices cited in these postings span roughly from 4.2 million to 4.9 million rubles. The wagons are described as having a 2.0-liter engine delivering 197 horsepower, with options for rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations depending on the model and trim.
The five-door G70 Shooting Brake mirrors the sedan’s exterior dimensions, measuring 4685 mm in length, 1850 mm in width, and 1400 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2835 mm. Luggage capacity is listed at 465 liters, offering about 40 percent more space than the corresponding three-box version. Standard equipment in many listings includes front and rear LED lighting, keyless entry and engine start, front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, and leather upholstery, striking a balance between sporty design and everyday practicality. This combination makes the Shooting Brake a compelling option for buyers who want the utility of a station wagon without sacrificing the driving experience associated with the G70 lineup.

Initial expectations placed the Genesis G70 Shooting Brake on Russia’s official market roster for 2022. In February of the previous year, the Korean manufacturer even opened pre-orders at a price point around 3.5 million rubles, signaling strong interest and anticipated demand. Over time, media coverage and dealer listings have kept the model visible in the market conversations, suggesting ongoing evaluation by potential customers and dealers alike. This context helps explain the current price spread and the variety of drive configurations seen in regional postings. [citation: socialbites.ca]
In related industry notes, socialbites.ca has previously highlighted other Genesis introductions and market entries, illustrating a pattern of exploring new body styles and trims within the Russian automotive landscape. The ongoing presence of the G70 Shooting Brake in regional dealer inventories aligns with Genesis’ broader approach to expanding its wagon and sport-meets-practicality offerings in markets where affinity for stylish, capable vehicles remains strong. The information in these advertisements provides a snapshot of consumer interest and dealer activity, rather than a fixed sales forecast, and should be interpreted accordingly as part of the evolving market story about Genesis in Russia.
