The 2020 G70 is offered with the 2.0T Theta II or 3.3T Lambda II twin-turbo V6. The 2.0T inherits the Theta II oiling concerns that led to the major class-action lawsuit and engine-replacement program, though the G70 has updated knock-sensor logic. The 3.3T is generally trouble-free.
Strong overall but the 2.0T Theta II family has class-action history. The 3.3T is a much safer engine choice.
Older Theta II engines were the subject of a major class action (Bartlett v. Hyundai). The G70 2.0T has updated knock-sensor detection software but the family history is significant. NHTSA recalls 20V-159 and related campaigns cover certain VINs.
