Genesis Electrified GV70

Model reviewed: Sport
Score: 8.1 / 10
“The Genesis Electrified GV70 succeeds in adding a new level of attractiveness to a model that already ticked the most boxes among the brand’s range. It takes the attractive visuals, comfortable interior and extensive tech of the combustion-engined version and replaces the one iffy bit of refinement – the powertrains – with something a whole lot better.”

“It’s on the pricey side, but the Electrified GV70 shows how far Genesis has come as a brand in a relatively short period of time in Europe. The GV70’s range, performance and charging tech are towards the top of the class, while material and build quality, plus practicality and infotainment are all fundamentally sound.” (Sean Carson)

“What it lacks in that last degree of style and image, the Genesis Electrified GV70 seemingly makes up for in the power, effectiveness and efficiency of its powertrain compared with these established German rivals. Combine that with the attractive, one-on-one customer care model and the much-hyped ‘Genesis difference’ looks more convincing than before.” (Dan Trent)

“In its current dual-motor form, the Genesis Electrified GV70 is looking for quite a specific kind of buyer, one who’s after a luxurious, ultra-quick EV but wants to retain an otherwise traditional feel. Within that brief, it ticks a lot of boxes, but until a more affordable version joins the range, it will remain a niche proposition.” (Ilya Verpraet)

“It might have the power, but we’re not sure the rest of this Genesis’s package is worthy of its Sport badge. The only time it feels more dynamic is when Boost mode is activated – but it’s a shame the handling and steering lack precision. Ignore the Sport badge and overcomplicated name, and the Electrified GV70 is another great Genesis EV, with decent range, practicality, and tech.”

“The Electrified GV70 is another great Genesis EV, offering impressive range, performance, and tech. However, we feel it’s expensive and could be better to drive.” (Martyn Collins)

“We thought that the petrol GV70 was the most compelling Genesis when the company launched in 2021, but the Genesis Electrified GV70 makes a whole lot more sense again. It’s 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.” (Tom Webster)

“The Genesis Electrified GV70 is an excellent car to drive. It offers comfort, performance, grip, refinement and space. Although it’s a heavy electric SUV, it’s more rewarding to drive than many rivals. The dashboard works well in terms of style and substance, and it can ultra-rapid charge.” (Paul Clarke)

“Don’t be put off by its rubbish name: the Genesis Electrified GV70 is a really interesting alternative to generic electric premium SUVs. We like how comfortable it is, while the technology on offer is impressive, but it’s a shame you can’t buy a more affordable model with a trifle less power.”

“It’s not cheap, and the comfort levels could be a bit better, but it is attractive, has a high quality interior with some excellent technology and is superbly refined with the noise cancellation system and impressive without.”

“The Genesis GV70 Electrified is pretty compelling. It isn’t quite as sharp as the best electric SUVs – but if you’re content not to drive around as though you’ve just heard there’s a Korean fried chicken restaurant opening in the next town, then it hits the mark convincingly.” (Alex Robbins)

“Whether you can get on with the looks remains subjective, but the GV70 feels far better suited to electric drive than the alternative petrol or diesel engines available, with the attractive ownership proposition the icing on the cake.”

“Blisteringly quick, good to drive and with an attractive interior, the Electrified GV70 fixes the refinement issues that detract from the combustion engined GV70. It’s a shame it’s pricier than a BMW iX3, though. A more affordable two-wheel drive version would make more sense.”

“Genesis knows how to do luxury in a stylish and modern way. The GV70 is blisteringly quick and comfortable, with plenty of excellent technology features. Although the base price is reasonable in this class, adding features can make this car expensive. But it’s still a strong contender if you’re after a larger, high-performance electric SUV.”
