Part of the first GV70 generation that debuted for 2022
Overview
Four years after its debut, the midsize Genesis Electrified GV70 gets a handful of updates similar to its standard GV70 gas-powered counterpart. You'll need to look closely to see some changes — revised headlights, bolder lower grille styling — but they're more pronounced inside. Unlike many EVs, the Electrified GV70 shares underpinnings with its gas companion. We've seen mixed results with that approach, but not here. The EV rides as smooth and gracefully as the GV70, one of our favorite SUVs in the class. A slightly larger battery promises more range (still unannounced), which the Electrified GV70 needs to keep pace with its electric luxury rivals.
EV batteries lose 1-2% of range per year. Est. range for this car is 201 miles after 8 years.

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more
Edmunds spotlight: New in-car tech shines, but range still TBD
Genesis has firmly established itself as the value leader in luxury SUVs and sedans. The brand's marketers might prefer you to think only of its lush trappings, but the winning strategy of delivering more for less than other luxury rivals is hard to ignore. The Electrified GV70's standard driver assist features alone make most competitors feel like budget models. For 2026, the battery-powered GV70 gets a new 27-inch horizontal dash display that integrates its digital gauges and infotainment touchscreen and offers an optional Bang & Olufsen premium audio system. A larger battery pack offers about 8% more capacity and could boost the current model's mediocre stated range of 236 miles. We managed 255 miles in our real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, and we're waiting to hear an official announcement on the new model's range. A redesigned charge port also enables access to Tesla Superchargers. Be sure to read our Expert Rating below to see why we're bullish on the electric GV70.
Competitors to consider
The Electrified GV70's tweener footprint (larger than compact, smaller than midsize) gives it more breathing room than the Tesla Model Y or Volvo XC40, but puts it up more squarely with newer rivals like the Audi Q6 E-tron or more affordable Cadillac Optiq and Polestar 4. The Lexus RZ might be worth a look, although its range is even more limited. Those with deeper pockets and a taste for performance might find the Porsche Macan EV a desirable alternative.

edmunds TESTED
The 2026 Electrified Genesis GV70 builds on the prowess of its gas-powered counterpart, which is our top-rated compact luxury SUV. The electric version shares the same smooth ride and luxury trappings, but with even snappier acceleration and performance. It's held back by a mediocre 236-mile range estimate, but a new larger battery promises to improve on that figure.
How does the Electrified GV70 drive? Take one look at the gracefully styled Electrified GV70 and you'd never guess how much power it packs in a straight line. At our test track, it ripped from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. We suspect it could be even quicker with gripper tires, as the standard eco-minded tires are easily overwhelmed by the electric motor's power when you mash the accelerator.
The GV70's handling abilities are also hindered by its non-performance tires. But at a more relaxed pace, the Electrified GV70 easily satisfies. It feels more planted and secure than its gas-powered twin (thanks to the EV's intrinsic low center of gravity) and has smooth braking and predictable steering. This SUV absolutely shines as a relaxing daily driver.
Comfort
9/10
How comfortable is the Electrified GV70? The Electrified GV70 matches the standard GV70's exceptional ride quality. With a standard adaptive suspension that scans the road to adapt, the GV70 takes on potholes and bumps like a champ. We also love the front seats with their subtle bolstering and soft material finish. They're also heated and ventilated so everyone can get comfy. Rear passengers are treated to a similarly pleasant experience, with a second-row bench that reclines back far and offers optional heating.
Genesis uses a haptic feedback touchscreen for its climate controls, and although it looks nice, the screen isn't as responsive as it could be. Sometimes it takes an extra press or two to make something work. The system itself works very well with strong fan speed. Without any audio playing, the GV70's cabin is one of the quietest in the game. And because there isn't an engine to chime in, the Electrified model feels even more peaceful.
Interior
8.5/10
How’s the interior? There's a sophistication to the GV70's interior that the GV60 just doesn't have. With more space and a less busy design, this is one of our favorite interiors in any car today. Most of the controls are easy to use, though the proximity of the similar-looking infotainment controller and the gear selector is puzzling. The center touchscreen also requires a somewhat long reach.
This SUV is the absolute perfect height for getting out, with wide door openings to help even more. The driver's seat has enough adjustability to find the right driving position, and there's enough flexibility for taller drivers, too. The GV70 is pretty easy to see out of, and the 360-degree camera system further helps out in tight parking situations.
How’s the tech? The Electrified GV70 gets a new 27-inch display that integrates digital instruments and infotainment touchscreen. We haven't tested it yet, but if it's anything like the previous touchscreen's graphics and interface, it should be impressive. The fingerprint scanner is a fun alternative to using the key, and the optional head-up display is super easy to use. Standard Genesis Connected Services allow for remote monitoring and control via a smartphone app, and now that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are wireless, our only wish is for more current USB-C charge ports.
Genesis threw almost every driver assist feature at its disposal into the GV70 Electrified, including Highway Driving Assist II. Though it doesn't offer true hands-off capability like some of its competitors, the system will keep the car in the lane and maintain the appropriate speed. It's well calibrated and doesn't get overly intrusive.
Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? The Electrified GV70 has a generous cargo area that is nearly the same size as the one in the gas version of the SUV. That means 28.7 cubic feet of space behind the second row, which is on par with the bigger options in the segment. The seats fold down flat with an easy 60/40 split, making loading an easy task. While there is a small compartment under the hood for storage, it pales in comparison to the one in Tesla's Model Y.
Small-item storage in the cabin is adequate but not spectacular. We appreciate that the cupholders are out of the way on the center console, and the door bins can hold a decent amount. Bonus points for the wireless charging pad pocket that hides your phone completely out of the way.
The spacious back seat is great for parents who need to install car seats. We also like that the safety seat anchor points are easy to access and that the door openings are wide enough to get seats in and out without bumping into anything.
How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates the current Electrified GV70 can travel about 236 miles on a single charge, which is an average distance for a small luxury EV. On our standardized real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, our test GV70 posted a slightly longer distance of 255 miles. Still, that's below what the Audi Q4 E-tron and Tesla Model Y can do. As for efficiency, we used 33 kWh of battery per 100 miles of driving, which is on the better side of things for luxury electric SUVs. The 2026 Electrified GV70 gets a slightly higher-capacity battery pack, but Genesis hasn't revealed any updated range estimates yet.
Like other electric Genesis products, the current GV70 has some impressive charging stats. It can juice from 10% to 80% capacity in 18 minutes on a 350-kW DC fast charger, or from 10% to 100% on a Level 2 system in seven hours. Those are substantially quicker charge times than the Audi Q4 E-tron and Lexus RZ offer.
Value
8/10
Is the Electrified GV70 a good value? The Electrified GV70 is a good but not a screaming good deal. It's more expensive than the smaller Audi Q4 E-tron and Tesla Model Y but less expensive than the more upscale Audi Q8 E-tron and BMW iX. Considering its passenger and cargo space offerings and many standard features, we think that the GV70 is appropriately priced.
Wildcard
8.5/10
The Genesis Electrified GV70 is a great reminder that this company knows how to build a great all-around vehicle. This is the best version of the GV70 yet — it has the same stunning looks but adds a fresh powertrain that packs a major punch.
Which Electrified GV70 does Edmunds recommend?
The standard AWD trim with 19-inch wheels comes so well equipped that we don't see much need for most buyers to upgrade. You get premium leather, heated front seats, about a dozen driver assist features, and the handy vehicle-to-load charging feature that lets you power small devices and appliances. The 19-inch wheels should also deliver a bit more range than the larger 20-inch versions on the two upper trims.
2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 Advanced 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
Foremost, the smooth/ oh-so-smooth ride and the quiet/very quiet interior at speed. Steering is uncanny and power (Boost!) is frightening, but FUN. Elegant and tasteful inetrior with great tech, 'cept for having to cable Android Auto. and 2nd row seats tilt (my costly BMW 5X did not!!!???). Exterior styling is somewhat strange, but all the other features massage thqat away...
Water Leaks. Horrible customer service!

2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 Advanced 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
Car started leaking into passenger area. In 5 1/2 months owning vehicle, it has been in shop for same issue 3 times for a combined 40-50 days. Their idea of customer service is to say sorry, present no solutions, make unfulfilled promises and not return calls, as promised. Will NEVER purchase Genesis/Hyundai again!
Amazing luxury EV, poor reliability, power issues

Northwest GV70, 11/30/2024
2024 Genesis Electrified GV70 Advanced 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
Purchased a GV70 Electrified in May 2023, after reviewing many premium EV's. After 16k miles and 18 months, my impressions: the car is wonderful to drive; fast, quiet, comfortable, excellent sound system. Recent upgrade allows wireless Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Downside - the car has been in the shop many times for power issues, that were severe enough to have to tow it to the … dealership. They don't know enough about this platform, and Genesis USA and Korea isn't helpful. Range isn't the best, so you have to plan your longer trips with time for charging stations. I'm hopeful that the 2025's have solved the power issues.
Update 6-2025: My GV70 Electrified was a lemon - it was purchased back by the dealership. I spoke with the service manager and he said they have had numerous issues with the platform. I love the car, but will stay away until I see that these issues have been resolved.

Super fun to drive. Fast as all get out, down side is the 236 mile range. Works for me for around locally with the kids and I work five minutes from home, but pretty limited on trips.
