What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the Electrified GV70 gets a rather tasty facelift! Up front, there's a slick new G-Matrix Crest Grille flanked by Micro Lens Array (MLA) headlights, giving it an even more assertive stare. New wheel designs freshen up the profile. But the biggest news is inside: a stunning 27-inch OLED curved display now dominates the dashboard, combining the driver’s cluster and infotainment into one seamless, high-tech panel. This leap in tech and style keeps it bang up to date in the luxury EV game, making it feel even more special.

Design & Exterior

This thing is a looker! The 2025 Electrified GV70 AWD rocks Genesis's 'Athletic Elegance' design, now sharper with its redesigned Crest Grille and distinctive two-line MLA LED headlights. It’s muscular but graceful, with a sleek, coupe-like roofline. Dimensions come in at 185.6 inches long, 75.2 inches wide (excluding mirrors), and 64.2 inches tall, giving it a commanding yet agile stance. New alloy wheel designs complete the refreshed, sophisticated look. The CCS Type 1 charge port is cleverly hidden in the front grille, keeping those lines clean.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside, and the 2025 Electrified GV70 AWD truly wows, especially with its new panoramic 27-inch OLED display – it's a proper showstopper! Materials are top-notch, with plush leathers and real metal accents creating a seriously premium vibe for its five occupants. For your gear, you get 17.8 ft³ in the trunk, expanding to a useful 59.3 ft³ with seats down, plus a dinky 0.9 ft³ frunk for charging cables. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are naturally standard on the new big screen, along with a high-end sound system.

Performance & Driving Experience

Don't let its luxury fool you; the Electrified GV70 AWD is properly quick! With dual Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM front and rear) churning out a combined 360 kW (around 483 hp in boost mode) and a hefty 516 lb-ft of torque, it'll rocket from 0-60 mph in a blistering 4.0 seconds, according to Green Cars Compare data. The standard all-wheel drive ensures stellar grip. It offers a beautifully judged ride – comfy for cruising but engaging when you fancy some fun. Regenerative braking is smooth and adjustable, helping to claw back some range.

Range, Battery & Charging

Powering this beast is a 74 kWh (usable) battery pack, delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range of 232 miles – decent for a luxury SUV with this much poke. Efficiency is rated at 3.14 mi/kWh. Thanks to its 800V architecture, DC fast charging via the CCS Type 1 port is lightning quick, hitting a claimed peak of 350 kW; that’s 10-80% in around 18 minutes! At home, the standard 11 kW AC charger tops it up overnight. Plus, it boasts Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, turning your car into a mobile power source. Awesome!

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Genesis doesn't skimp on safety. The Electrified GV70 has earned top marks, including an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and a 5-star NHTSA overall rating for previous model years, expected to carry over. It's packed with standard driver-assistance tech: Highway Driving Assist II (adaptive cruise with lane centering and lane change assist), forward collision-avoidance with junction turning, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and a surround-view monitor. Most of these advanced systems come as standard, which is a huge plus for peace of mind on US roads.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Genesis rolls out the red carpet with its warranty. You get a 5-year/60,000-mile basic limited warranty and a stellar 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Crucially for an EV, the battery and electric vehicle system components are also covered for 10 years/100,000 miles, including a degradation guarantee (typically 70% capacity). Plus, enjoy 3 years/36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance and connected services. That’s some serious owner confidence baked right in, making the luxury EV experience even sweeter.
