GENESIS GV70 EV 2023 - ANOTHER FULLY ELECTRIFIED MODEL!

EV Channels Review

The Genesis GV70 EV presents a compelling package, blending premium SUV qualities with electric performance. Reviewers praise its modern styling, sophisticated interior with physical controls, and the engaging driving dynamics, particularly noting the responsive steering and well-tuned suspension. The 800-volt architecture enabling rapid DC charging is a significant advantage. However, the reviewer highlights a key drawback: the exclusive offering of animal skin seats in the EV version, which is seen as a potential deal-breaker for environmentally conscious buyers and a disappointment compared to potential leather-free options. While the real-world range is estimated at around 330 km (205 miles) under mixed conditions including high-speed driving, it falls short of segment leaders, though this is partly attributed to its larger size. The GV70 EV is commended for its quiet ride, advanced features like remote parking and customizable sound design, and overall build quality, positioning it as a strong contender against rivals like the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC, provided the seat material concern can be addressed.
