Summary


The Genesis Electrified GV70 is the all-electric version of the mid-sized five-door GV70 SUV, pitched as an alternative to the likes of the Audi Q4 e-tronBMW iX3 and Mercedes-Benz EQC in the high-end electrified SUV market.

Genesis is a new premium car brand owned by Hyundai, and the Electrified GV70 – alongside the GV60 SUV and Electrifed G80 saloon – is part of its first batch of all-electric models released on the European automotive market after successes in Asia and the USA.

You won’t be able to buy a Genesis at a traditional dealership; orders are delivered to the customer, and cars are collected from the owner for servicing over a standard five-year care plan, as the brand looks to provide an attractive premium ownership experience.

“The petrol GV70 was the most compelling Genesis when the company launched in 2021”, Car‘s Tom Webster explains, “but the Genesis Electrified GV70 is that bit quieter, more efficient and the electric element just seems to suit a newly launched modern SUV more so than a slightly thirsty petrol engine does.”

Only dual-motor models are available, which makes the Electrified GV70 more expensive than many capable alternatives, including the highly-regarded Kia EV6.

Its battery range is competitive, but trumped by the popular Tesla Model Y, and the BMW iX3 does come with more tech features as standard.

As of February 2025, the Genesis Electrified GV70 holds a New Car Expert Rating of A, with a score of 74% – a notably higher score than the C grade (63%) awarded to the petrol- and diesel-powered GV70. It earns top marks for its safety rating and zero tailpipe emissions, while media reviews have also been good. However, running costs are poor thanks to high insurance ratings (and we don’t have servicing or efficiency scores yet to potentially improve this score), and we don’t have enough data to issue a reliability rating. Check back again soon for a more complete data set.

Eco rating


Independent economy and emissions ratings from Green NCAP

No eco rating

As of February 2025, the Genesis Electrified GV70 has not been lab tested by Green NCAP.

The Green NCAP programme measures exhaust pollution (which is zero for an electric car) and energy efficiency. Electric cars are much more energy-efficient than combustion cars, so the Electrified GV70 is likely to score very highly in Green NCAP testing, if and when it is tested.

Running costs for the Genesis Electrified GV70 range are a rather mixed bag, according to data provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our commercial partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

Its powertrain can muster 283 miles of travel on a single charge, which is competitive with other electric models of this size, but its insurance premiums are in the most expensive bracket.
