Genesis G70 2.0 Oil

No, no reason.
Your owner's manual gives you carte blanche. I could run a 20W-50 in my area year round.

Good choice for oil OP.
It seems to me you can always find a 5w-30 on sale and with a rebate!
The only complaint I could think of is the regular M1 0W-40 is pretty high in Calcium if you are concerned about LSPI with a TGDI. The ESP is under 1000 ppm according to the last PDS I saw.
Hyundai/Kia appears to prefer a 40 grade for the Turbo GDI (Used to say 5W-30 if 5W-40 is unavailable) and they do tend to dilute and shear the oil pretty hard for a GF-5/GF-6 5W-30.
Not sure what you mean, it is listed there for 2.0T engine (it says 0/5w-xx in the beginning, that's their way of expressing it)
I'm agreeing with @Gene K tho, think twice before putting 0w40 with all that calcium.
Any new API SP 5w30 might serve you better, just to play safe
If you still want 0/5w-40, consider Pennzoil Euro. It's SN plus so way friendlier to your turbo

I had that engine in two Hyundais, a Soanata and a Santa Fe Sport. I think the only upgrade Hyundai did to that motor for the Genesis was to increase the sump by about a quart, which is good. Look at my signature, I use both Castrol and Mobil 1. For that particular application I would use Castrol EDGE 0W-40 and never look back. Lots of guys with F150 trucks use them in EcoBoost engines as well. The EDGE stands up much better to shearing and fuel dillution. I doubt you'll ever experience LSPI with that motor because Hyundai adjusted the power levels and fine tuned that engine over the years. They basically cut back on the torque and power to increase its longevity. Purolator BOSS PBL14461 (you want good flow) is the filter you want for that engine and a magnetic drain plug (go to Amazon and look for Votex DP001, it works). Torque the drain plug to 32 ft-lb and use the Hyundai OEM washers, not the one that the drain plug ships with. That's about all the advice that I have for you
That looks like an API SN motor oil made from Group III base stock that's hard to find at Walmart and expensive to order on Amazon. But hey, if it's good enough for a Ferrari engine ...
That's their older look, it's lost the Ferrari approval got gained SN plusI had that engine in two Hyundais, a Soanata and a Santa Fe Sport.

Well, that looks like a viable option as well. I wouldn't use ILSAC GF5/6A/ACEA A5 oil in that engine, it will nuke the oil pretty fast. IIRC Hyundai recommended 5000 mile OCIs for the Turbo under Normal driving conditions. Believe me, they know the pitfals of their own motors.
20-50 would be a bridge too far, but Mobil 1 5W-50 would actually be okay if you drive the car hard, do autocross or track it.
After reading this forum, I’m really scared driving my Kia with 5w20 in the sump now
Well they recommend 5000 mi OCI in the States and 15,000 km (9300 mi) in Europe. I'm not sure what oil they spec in Europe but I'm guessing either a A3/B4 or a C3. Either would be far better than an SP GF-6 Oil in that application.
Castrol UK says 6000 miles/1 year using either 0w30 A5 or 5w40 A3/B4.
I've seen 15-20k km OCI recommended across manufacturers in Europe (Ford, Hyundai, BMW), just not buying it.
A friend of mine is a mechanic at a Ford dealership, they call for 20k kms OCI with just 5.2qt of 5w20 in their engines, which is a huge win for dealers since the engines rarely survive longer than 100k km
2020 and Hyundai still cannot figure out ACEA specifications.
Pennzoil Platinum Euro goes for $33 for 5qt plus filter in AAP (like all other synthetics).I had that engine in two Hyundais, a Soanata and a Santa Fe Sport.

It is GTL based oil with very good cold performance and HTHS in 3.8 range.
Ferrari does not have approval. It is marketing. Ferrari still uses Shell.

Where can you buy that? If I had to guess, is it API SL rated?
SN+
I believe also now in API SP
