THE BEST ELECTRIC LUXURY SUV - 2023 GENESIS ELECTRIFIED GV70 EV REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 is presented as the "BEST Electric Luxury SUV," building upon the acclaimed GV70 platform. The reviewer highlights its premium interior, featuring Napa leather and a driver-focused cockpit with a 14.5-inch infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch 3D instrument cluster. Key advantages include the sophisticated design, the "Beauty of White Space" interior concept, and practical features like V2L capability and a spacious cargo area with minimal compromise compared to the gas version. The driving experience is praised for its refinement, silence, and smooth ride, even on rough pavement, attributed partly to the Preview Electronic Control Suspension. Performance is strong, with 429 hp standard and up to 489 hp in Boost Mode, offering exhilarating acceleration. While the official range figures are noted as potentially a concern for some (236 miles EPA / 383 km WLTP), the reviewer emphasizes the vehicle's rapid charging capabilities, reaching 80% in under 20 minutes. The reviewer's main criticism is the lack of a nationwide complimentary charging program in Canada, unlike some competitors. Overall, the Electrified GV70 is considered a compelling package, especially given its competitive pricing and the comprehensive "Genesis at Home" ownership benefits in Canada.
