2023 GENESIS ELECTRIFIED GV70 FAMILY REVIEW WITH CHILD SEAT INSTALLATION AND LUGGAGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 is presented as a near-perfect luxury electric SUV, excelling in its premium interior, athletic driving dynamics, and overall refinement. The reviewers praise its smooth, powerful acceleration and the high-quality materials, including Nappa leather and ambient lighting, contributing to a luxurious feel. Key features like the heated and ventilated seats, tri-zone climate control, and retractable rear sunshades are highlighted as family-friendly. While the exterior styling is largely consistent with the gas version and well-received, the reviewer expresses a strong preference for the Genesis over the Audi SQ5 in the same price bracket, declaring themselves a "Genesis gal." The main drawbacks noted are the relatively modest 236-mile EPA range, though its 800-volt architecture allows for rapid charging (10-80% in 18 minutes), and a slightly polarizing 3D digital gauge cluster that can cause eye strain for some. Storage space is deemed adequate but could be more clever. Despite these minor points, the overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive, positioning it as an excellent luxury EV choice.
