2023 GENESIS GV70 ELECTRIFIED REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Genesis GV70 Electrified is reviewed as a luxurious and powerful electric SUV that excels in comfort and performance, particularly with its 429 horsepower (483 in boost mode) and 516 lb-ft of torque. The reviewer praises its quiet ride, adaptive suspension with road preview, and excellent adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. The interior is highlighted for its premium materials and customizable ambient lighting, though the rotary dial system, while functional, can be initially confusing. A significant pro is the inclusion of a rear wiper, a feature absent on its electric siblings like the GV60, EV6, and Ioniq 5. However, the reviewer notes a slight understeer in spirited driving and finds the seats less comfortable than those in the GV60 due to a pressure point in the lumbar. The charging experience is criticized, with inconsistent speeds and unreliable public charging infrastructure being a major drawback. Despite these issues, it's considered a strong non-Tesla EV option, especially when compared to the GV60, which the reviewer slightly prefers for its dedicated EV platform and more engaging seats.
