![]() ![]() The real differences are in the structure, and how the Electrified GV70 drives. There’s no ultra-spartan interior, weird yokes or touchscreen overkill. Not unlike the path Mercedes-Benz took with the EQB, Genesis has made it easy for customers to adapt to EV life while getting what they wanted in the first place. As a 6-foot-4 person myself, there’s still lots of room for tall folks front or rear, and the vaguely Bentley-esque interior carries over unchanged aside from color choices. To wit, aside from about a 1-inch reduction in headroom from the gas version, the insertion of a 77.4 kWh battery pack under the floor has had a negligible effect on passenger or cargo space in the Electrified GV70. “The platform was developed to be able to accommodate both gas and electric power without compromise,” says Genesis product planner Yanny Pyo. As the brand will go fully electric by 2030, its current EVs are about translating what customers already like into an electric format. The Electrified GV70’s visual similarity to the regular GV70 is, of course, entirely intentional. Unlike the regular GV70, it’ll be a little pricier than many of its competitors, but like really tasty bulgogi, this is a recipe likely to satisfy. Step behind the wheel, however, and it’s immediately clear that the Korean automaker has taken an already-good combustion-powered vehicle and turned it into an even better electric one. Alex KwantenĪpart from its shiny, reverse-pattern grille and lack of tailpipes, you’d be hard-pressed to tell the 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 from its gas-powered siblings. The Genesis Electrified GV70 looks just as cool as its gas-powered siblings, but goes even faster, is more energy efficient and has a quieter cabin.
