The 2023 Genesis GV70 Is An Opulent SUV That Just Happens To Be Electric

Are you tired of weird EVs? Do you want to roll but still have extravagant leather, comfy seats, and a style that doesn't appear like a spaceship? Then take a look at the 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70. Ridiculous name I know, so let's just call it the GV70 . The GV70 is quite realistically the EV version of the GV70, but Genesis did more than simply swap a motor in, they completely upgraded the GV70 under the skin so this is no tacky EV swap like, say a Mini EV. The result is that the GV70 has about the same range as the devoted EV platform GV60, comparable efficiency, quickly charging speeds, the exact same V2L performance, etc but it's covered in the long hood profile common to luxury CUVs. The only downer? No front trunk.

      At the moment the charging at Tesla network makes the difference on long trips. This SUV is slow charging due to limited internal to 400 V to 800 V conversion at existing in small number Tesla chargers equipped with magic dock CCS. Being low availability most people will choose Tesla Model Y. A few lucky folks with lots of working EA stations around them and Genesis dealership nearby will purchase this SUV just for commute to pumper their rear end in luxury while cruising to work back and forth in stealthy mode unnoticed by petrol head neighbors that they plunged into EV world.

    The 235 range is underwhelming. Especially in winter where u might see range loss. I agree it def seems like a nicer vehicle than the gv60.

      Drive an RZ and all of a sudden the 235 mile range is better

      The battery is pretty small.

      Not enough range. Winter highway range is probably less than 175 or so based on my experience with an id4.

    That dangling charge plug cover is no fun for day-to-day charging. I was expecting better from Genesis brand

    Only three dull exterior and two interior colors? Huge swing and a miss. I’ll wait till they expand to the full pallet available to all the other Genesis models.

    Great review Alex! I agree with all your points and it’s good to hear that it has decent efficiency.

    I am not buying a 400hp plus EV to hypermile it. There are plenty of single motor 250 hp minus for that.

    Lyriq starts at $58,590 and tops out at $77k. GV70 EV starts at $65,850 and tops out at $74,395. The Lyriq is a bigger car although it does offer less rear seat headroom because of the slopping roof.

      The Lyriq also gets much longer EV range up to 308 miles.

    My first EV had its charge port in front and it’s still my favorite location. Sure, if you hit something hard enough it could render the car undrivable, but the same is true of any ICE vehicle. And let’s be real here, I’ve been driving, at some times aggressively, for 23 years and I’ve never run the front of my car into anything. It’s not an issue I’m concerned about. I also didn’t have any issues in the snow, but that could just have just been my car or the fact that it doesnt get horrendous here.

    Coasting is the most efficient mode on the open road. In city driving, max regen is. That’s why in some EV such as Mercedes, you have “auto mode” which uses the nav and cruise control radar to decide which regen mode to use. No regen on the highway and variable regen in urban driving. However, it’s not liked by many reviewers since the pedal moves accordingly all on its own.

    Embarrassing the crap out of the Lexus, for sure.

    I hope there’s going to be a GV90 one day. The GV80 is beautiful but I like a bus so big that I can get into an accident in two different intersections at the same time.

    This reminds me an Audi e-tron, just a size smaller.

    Alex – Tesla’s do have blended braking when the battery is cold or fully charged.

    Where are the battery improvements that were supposed to be coming? The range is no better than ev’s from 2 or 3 years ago.
