2024 GENESIS GV70 ELECTRIFIED - NIGHT DRIVE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Genesis GV70 Electrified is lauded as an exceptional luxury EV, combining blistering acceleration with a refined and quiet driving experience. The reviewer highlights its impressive performance, noting 0-60 mph times as low as 3.85 seconds in Boost mode, and praises the smooth, planted handling thanks to the low center of gravity. Interior luxury is a strong point, with beautiful materials, customizable ambient lighting, and a premium Lexicon sound system receiving high marks. The reviewer also commends the intuitive rotary dial control for the infotainment system and the effective climate control. However, the vehicle isn't without its drawbacks. The reviewer expresses disappointment with the continued reliance on wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the inability to disable the split-screen on the 14-inch display. While the exterior and interior design are praised, the reviewer finds the lighting systems adequate but not exceptional, with some uniformity issues. The most significant criticism is directed at the high MSRP, with the reviewer suggesting that the value proposition over the gasoline models is questionable, recommending leasing as a more financially prudent option due to rapid depreciation of EVs in the secondhand market.
