2022 GENESIS ELECTRIFIED GV70 REVIEW (INC. 0-100)

EV Channels Review

The Genesis Electrified GV70 is presented as a compelling alternative to premium German electric SUVs, offering a luxurious experience without the expected high price tag. The reviewer praises its striking design, particularly the matte paint finish and the clean, EV-specific front grille. Inside, the cabin retains the high-end feel of the standard GV70, with quality materials and comfortable, feature-rich Nappa leather seats offering massage functions. The 14.5-inch infotainment screen is a highlight, though the rotary controller can be slightly confusing. The vehicle boasts extensive safety tech and practical features like wireless charging and ample storage. Performance is strong, with a combined output of 360 kW and 700 Nm in boost mode, delivering impressive acceleration. The ride quality is noted as comfortable, especially at low speeds, thanks to adaptive damping, though it feels heavier than its internal combustion counterpart. Charging technology is a significant plus, with 800-volt architecture supporting up to 350 kW DC charging, enabling a 10-80% charge in about 25 minutes. The reviewer's main critique is that the range, quoted at over 450 km overseas, could be better compared to segment rivals. Despite this, the Electrified GV70 earns a strong recommendation for its blend of luxury, performance, and advanced technology at a competitive price point.
