2023 GENESIS ELECTRIFIED GV70 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Genesis Electrified GV70 is praised for its mature, classy, and comfortable luxury, eschewing sporty pretensions for a wafty and cushy ride. Reviewers highlight its quiet, serene cabin, excellent interior materials, and a design that subtly signals its electric nature without overt styling cues. While the 238-mile EPA range is considered adequate, it falls short of some competitors. The "Boost" function offers a temporary power surge, but the car's overall performance is described as quick rather than exhilarating, especially when compared to other performance EVs tested recently. Key criticisms include a seating position that is too high and a disappointing Lexicon audio system, where the mids and highs lack clarity despite good bass. The vehicle's assembly in Alabama with Korean components is noted, as are Genesis's comprehensive warranty and complimentary maintenance packages. Ultimately, the Electrified GV70 is recommended as a superior alternative to perceived luxury EVs like the Tesla Model 3, offering a more traditional, old-school luxury experience.
