Genesis is electrifying many of the brand’s popular models and the GV70 is one of the manufacturer’s latest. The all-wheel drive compact SUV ditches the regular gasoline engine options for a dual motor set-up. Output for the Electrified GV70 is listed between 429-483 horsepower depending on trim level.
Genesis is not the first manufacturer to electrify an existing gas-powered vehicle. But the brand seems to have perfected the process. Each time we drive an offering, we come away impressed at the seamless battery electric integration.
Pros | Strong performance, quick charging, same styling as the gas model |
Cons | Low range, fairly pricey, handling suffers electrification |
Bottom Line | The Electrified GV70 takes one of our favorite luxury SUVs and improves it; unless you want the Sport model, which still works best as gas. |

2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 Review: First Drive
Genesis doesn’t believe in half-measures. The Korean luxury brand has famously skipped out on electron-assisted ICE models, going straight from gas to fully electric.
It’s doing it with a quickness too, as this 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 is the brand’s third EV in less than a year. As the name implies, this take on the brand’s compact SUV tears out the gas powerplants and drops in an electron-munching one.
There are two questions that the GV70 must answer. First, does it keep the regular GV70’s excellent reputation as a luxurious, pampering SUV? And beyond that, can the EV justify its extra cost? I spent a day driving it around the Atlanta area to find out.
