The Genesis Electrified GV70 is a seriously stylish and potent entry into the premium electric SUV space. It squares up against German rivals with a knockout combination of luxury, tech, and blistering performance. The AWD model, starting around €70,230, packs a serious punch thanks to its dual-motor setup and a sophisticated 800V architecture, enabling lightning-fast charging. It’s not just a pretty face; this SUV is designed to deliver a properly premium experience, from the hushed cabin to its impressive on-road poise, making it a compelling alternative to the establishment.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the Electrified GV70 gets a significant tech and style glow-up. The headline news inside is a colossal new 27-inch OLED display that seamlessly merges the driver’s instruments and central infotainment into one stunning panel. On the outside, Genesis has tweaked the styling with a redesigned 'Crest' grille featuring new G-Matrix patterned details and fresh two-line headlamps for a sharper look. New wheel designs round out the refresh, ensuring this handsome SUV stays at the cutting edge of design and technology in its highly competitive class.

Design & Exterior

The GV70’s exterior is pure 'Athletic Elegance'. Its muscular stance is defined by Genesis’s signature two-line LED lights at the front and rear, which slice through its sleek bodywork. The iconic crest grille, now cleverly hiding the CCS Type 2 charging port, gives it immense road presence. Measuring 4715 mm long, 1910 mm wide, and 1630 mm high, it boasts a sporty, coupe-like roofline without sacrificing its SUV practicality. It's a design that turns heads for all the right reasons, looking both sophisticated and powerful on the road.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside, and the GV70 wows with its lavish, driver-focused cockpit. The showstopper for 2025 is the sweeping 27-inch OLED screen, creating a high-tech, minimalist vibe. Material quality is top-notch, with plush surfaces and exquisite detailing everywhere you look. It's properly practical, too; you get 503 litres of boot space, which expands to a massive 1678 litres with the rear seats folded. Plus, there’s a useful 25-litre frunk under the bonnet for stashing charging cables. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are naturally standard on that gorgeous new display.

Performance & Driving Experience

Don't let the luxury fool you; this SUV is a rocket ship. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive system unleashes a massive 360 kW and 700 Nm of torque for seriously rapid, silent acceleration, hitting 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. Fancy a bit more? A "Boost Mode" button on the steering wheel unleashes maximum power for 10-second bursts of insane performance. On the move, it’s exceptionally refined and comfortable, yet it can handle a twisty road with surprising agility. Smart regenerative braking, including a full one-pedal driving mode, makes city driving a breeze.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Electrified GV70 is built on a cutting-edge 800V architecture, making charging seriously quick. Its 80 kWh usable battery delivers a real-world range estimated by Green Cars Compare at around 405 km, with an impressive efficiency of 5.06 km/kWh. Hook it up to a 350 kW DC fast charger, and you can blast from 10-80% in as little as 18 minutes via its CCS Type 2 port. At home, the standard 11 kW on-board charger handles overnight top-ups. It also features handy Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability to power external devices.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is paramount in the GV70, which earned a top five-star rating from Euro NCAP. It comes loaded with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance systems as standard. This includes the brilliant Highway Driving Assist II, which combines adaptive cruise control with active lane centering for relaxed motorway journeys. You also get Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, which can even show a camera feed in the driver's display, along with advanced forward collision warning and a crystal-clear surround-view monitor. It’s a tech fortress designed to keep you and your passengers safe.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Genesis's ownership experience is a massive selling point. The Electrified GV70 comes with the 'Genesis 5-Year Care Plan' in Europe. This exceptional package includes a 5-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, 5 years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, 5 years of roadside assistance, and over-the-air software updates. The high-voltage battery is covered separately by an excellent 8-year/160,000 km warranty, giving you complete peace of mind. This level of comprehensive, long-term coverage is almost unmatched in the premium segment and makes owning a Genesis incredibly hassle-free.
