NEW GENESIS ELECTRIFIED GV70 - WHY THIS IS BETTER THAN ANY OF ITS RIVALS

EV Channels Review

The Genesis Electrified GV70 receives a significant facelift for 2025, aiming to bolster its appeal in the competitive luxury electric SUV segment. While exterior styling sees only subtle refinements, the interior is dramatically enhanced with a new 27-inch OLED display and improved materials, earning it praise as potentially the best interior in its class. The larger 84 kWh battery offers a WLTP range of up to 298 miles, with real-world testing suggesting efficiency improvements over the previous model. Performance remains strong, but the reviewer emphasizes that the GV70's true strengths lie in its exceptional comfort, refinement, and quietness, surpassing even more expensive rivals like the Range Rover. Downsides include a somewhat vague steering feel and a boot that, despite adequate volume, lacks practicality due to its shallow depth and the placement of the charging cables. The controversial "virtual gear shift" technology, while technically impressive, is deemed unnecessary for this model's luxury focus. Despite a price increase, the enhanced features and Genesis's comprehensive 5-year warranty and service package are seen as offering good value.
