A GREAT ELECTRIC SUV NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT! ONE WEEK WITH GENESIS ELECTRIFIED GV70

EV Channels Review

The Genesis Electrified GV70 is presented as a compelling, yet overlooked, luxury electric SUV. Despite weather-induced testing limitations, the reviewer highlights its strong points: a beautiful design, high-quality interior materials (though not quite matching German rivals), and a comfortable, quiet driving experience. The standout feature is its impressive charging performance, with a peak of 243 kW and a deep charging curve that rivals or exceeds many competitors, making up for its potentially lower range. The reviewer notes that the car is often mistaken for a gasoline model, adding to its understated appeal. Key criticisms revolve around the infotainment system's navigation, which is described as "terrible" and necessitates using Apple CarPlay, though this prevents battery preconditioning. Pedal mapping in drive modes also needs refinement. While not as premium as an Audi Q8 e-tron or BMW iX, its price point, especially with the Prestige trim, is considered competitive. The GV70 is recommended for those who prioritize fast charging and a premium daily driving experience over outright maximum range, positioning it as a strong alternative to more mainstream EVs and a worthy consideration against higher-priced luxury electric SUVs.
