This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new Electrified Genesis GV70 compact SUV. The GV70 has a 77.4 kWh battery with 383 km/283 miles of range. It has 429 horsepower, 516 lb-ft of torque and with boost mode you get a power bump to 483 horsepower. Standard AWD.
There is just one trim in Canada which comes fully loaded for $84,150 CAD and two in the US, Advanced $65,850 USD and Prestige $72,650 USD.
Standard features in Canada include a 12.3” 3D digital cluster, 14.5” touchscreen with navigation, wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto, wireless charger, surround view monitor, head-up display, 15-speaker Lexicon audio system, a power driver and passenger seat with lumbar support, heated and ventilated front seats, driver seat memory, heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, a panoramic sunroof and a hands-free power liftgate.
In the US, since there are two trims, the base model has a few less features compared to the Canadian model. It’s missing the 12.3” digital driver display instead, you get an 8” display and leather upholstery is offered instead of Nappa leather.
The top trim adds those features along with a suede headliner, head-up display, Lexicon audio system, heated second row seats and a heated steering wheel.
With a Level 2 charger, the GV70 will charge in just over 7 hours and 20 minutes. With a DC fast charger reaching an 80% charge at a maximum charging speed of 50 kW, it will take 73 minutes and a charging speed of 350 kW, 18 minutes. This electric vehicle also comes with a vehicle to load function. Genesis offers a warranty of 5 years or 100,000 km/60,000 miles. In Canada, Genesis offers 5 years complimentary maintenance and in the US, 3 years or 36,000 miles.
US customers get 3 years of 30-minute complimentary DC fast charging sessions at Electrify America stations.
All US models will now be assembled at the Montgomery, Alabama plant in the US. Canadian models will continue to be built in Korea. The electric GV70 will qualify for a tax credit in the US but due to the higher price point, it doesn’t qualify for the Federal EV rebate of $5,000 in Canada.

Genesis feels like it came out of nowhere in the luxury car game. They're everywhere in Savannah Georgia. Another great video.
Genesis did not come out of nowhere, you just were not paying attention
You guys are really good at this; IMHO, the best auto reviewers on UA-cam.
Wow, thank you!
I love that it’s hard to tell it’s an EV 👍
Yes, me too! I like the fact that it looks like a regular gas-powered car / suv. Koodos to Genesis!
I agree. I don't want a futurist looking car or SUV. I just want the same ICE model but electrified! I don't think many car manufactures are understanding this fact.
Well yeah. It’s literally just the body form the ICE GV70 with the batteries shoved in where the engine and transmission would go and a plastic cover put where the grill is.
Zack is absolutely correct Electric models that are based on current gas models based on looks are my favorites Great looks, no weird looking features. I think that Electric cars are getting very serous about sales. Prices need to come down a lot. Great video as usual. You guys are the best in car reviews. Lots of details and honest too.
Just like with beautiful "Tiny Homes" the so called planet saving Electric Vehicles seem to only be within reach for certain economic brackets. Nothings changed.
The q4 etron is not a competitor to some wannabe luxury ev. The q4 etron is competitive to the model x, ix, and the eqc. I drive a 2024 cayenne s hybrid pebble grey and a 2022 bmw m5 comp (profile pic)
@@chrisbullock6477If you think ICE cars were cheap in the 1880-1920s when they were new and evolving, I’ve got a bridge to sell you……
Great review. Had the electrified GV70 been out when I got my GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige it would have been a tough call. ICE or EV the GV70's are beautiful and so loaded with tech they out-value the Germans. The interior design is brilliant, and the materials are top shelf. Former BMW and Jaguar owner, Genesis gives up no ground, and the warranty is the best.
Totally agree with you guys. A great EV with fantastic charging speeds and enough range. I have a polestar 3 on order, but this is hard to pass up.
Genesis is really killing it with their designs especially the interiors. Wish I can say the same about the dealerships exepriences.
When you call Genesis, the dealership answers Hyundai!
@@samkeino6810 Unfortunately, that's because most are Hyundai dealerships with a small room somewhere gorgeous Genesis service staff to hang out.
who cares? do you spend a lot of time at the dealer? i’d rather have the lower car price than pay for fancy offices
@@jazzfan7491The Genesis staff have to compete for service bay time and they don't get a priority,. I don't spend time there but I wait for weeks to get an appointment...and I have had to do a lot of service, unfortunately.
@@dalehuhtala9285 Around LA I have never waited
Love the Electrified and ICE GV 70's Can't afford them, but love them lol. P.S. looking good Andrea .
Thank you 🙏
I drive GV80 but this is the best decision by Genesis to electrify their best seller and most sexy SUV ever. Love it.
Best couples review ever , you guy's rule
Love it and welcome to GA! Wish I could have bumped into y’all
ohhhh I love this one, gorgeous on inside and outside is stunning, statement on the road, thank you V!
I’ve many videos on UA-cam showing Tesla camera footage. Are any other EVs equipped with similar integrated camera systems? Nice that you both enjoyed the car!
Wham Bam Tesla Cam
You guys should stop putting the Lyric in the competition list until you can drive it. I was shocked to finally see one on the road the other day, given the limited availability.
The Genesis interiours are on a different level. Just imagine you park this beauty next to anything from.... T***a... and have a look inside each car. Omg....
I have a family member (an in-law) who is an engineer for Hyundai/Genesis in Korea. He says the US cars are more refined, as they get further product development after being tested in Korea. He flies to California a couple times each year to work on the US versions. That said, I am a huge fan of Korean manufacturing, and I am sure the models sold in Canada get a little extra love as export models. The Korean domestic market tends to be either very technology focused (passenger cars) or utility focused. Hence those fabulous Kia Bongo and Hyundai Porter trucks that are all over the world and, unfortunately, not available in North America.
In this category, if I could afford it… hands down it would have to be this Genesis. Its the interior. Imagine how inviting it would be… every time you entered it… as if welcoming you home after a long day at work. Or… “Swish!” as Mr. Tim Phillips commented. What a great word!… though to be honest… I’m not really sure what it means. But I like it… just like this Genesis. Thanks for the video.
this is not 65k because the way they did the configuration, you have to add the 7K PRESTIGE package unless you want to feel like you are driving a hyundai. Total price is 73k, this is not worthed. for 2k more you can get an Audi etron q8 with air suspension and 285 miles range.
Picked ours up in N Carolina just recently because we saved a bunch of money over NY pricing.
Love your review, and car is fantastic!
As of April 2024,Genesis has a 13 month lease this month for the ELECTRIFIED models. Per Genesis offers website, Advanced trim of the gv70 Ev is 499/ month, 3999 down for 10k miles. 😮 I got 9500 cash back ("EV Lease Bonus") for the 13 months gv70 lease, now there is a 17500 cash back for the 36 month gv70 lease, cutting down another 100 LESS monthly compared to what I got.
The Gv60 advanced is 469, gv60 Rwd is 379 (same 3999 down) but only max 11000 EV Lease Bonus from Genesis.
.....OR ...
.... Wait 1 year and you can get 10 % increase in battery capacity and EV range without any increase in weight in the gv60, gv70 or IONIQ5.
No frunk I guess? the back sub trunk is also quite small. I think that what you miss if you buy a platform that is both gas and EV.
I love that it only has one trim level here in Canada.
Idk why it took me so long to subscribe but I'm here now. Love this channel
Thank you for the sub, welcome aboard!
Welcome aboard
At 3:32 the right turn signal was on, and after the right turn, the left turn signal was on. Quite a trick.
The Audi option is basically a VW with a few upgrades in interior. It’s full of shiny black besides having nicer seats and driver screens/infotainment. Not worthy of the Audi badge imo.
Lexus, we’ll it’s based upon the Rav volume seller with a different design and interior.
Tesla, I don’t like their design. It’s uninspired, very basic to my eyes. They’re still experiencing fit and finish issues as well.
Cadillac, good luck actually purchasing one before 2024/25.
Thanks for the review! Always top notch in auto! One of my favorite channels to watch.
I knew this would be good ! 🙂. Andrea looks great in her Genesis outfit. Lol
Thank you! 😊
Excellent as usual. Have an associate with the BMW i4, quite nice except it has had a few glitches. Holding out for range so it would be the Lucid but the $$$ rules that out. Every car should have a boost button.
Great review. Thank you.
I have to mention this…
But the EV GV70 has a significantly better suspension than the regular, this needs to be made aware by buyers/viewers.
I discussed this with another car reviewer in the comments and he confirmed this. Actually said that, he was testing a new Q7 before the GV70 EV and that the GV70 is a lot better in riding, better than the Euro SUVS.
I love your content & detail on cars that they compare to. You compliment each other very well on each others preferances. Thanks !
I think the range is where ALL EVs need to focus. The number one thing (by a HUGE margin) that is keeping people from converting their ICE vehicles (other than price) is range (anxiety). 364 (estimated range) is just okay. And convert that to Canadian (winters) and you can easily knock off 100 km. Now we are talking 250. That is NOT nearly good enough for an 80K car (CDN).
JMHO.
I won't spend that much $ for 300 km range...tesla is the only choice for now when talking about the range in the winter😂lol
Looks good but I'm not spending that kind of money on a car with 235 mile range. Would spend all day charging it on the I15 from Calgary to Phoenix..@ 75 to 80 mph.
Probably they can only fit in 77 battery pack in. Consider that, its range is not that bad. But it's 20K more expensive than a Model Y. I wonder how many they can sell this thing.
As an ev owner, the range is very important for me in the winter tesla moldel y much better compared to this.
236 range? That means 200 "safe" miles. That virtually keeps it as a local family hauler. I'd put up an "R" for reject until further development. For me, it's 450 miles minimum range and I couldn't give a hoot how fast I get there, nor how "pretty" it is. After all, it's just a family people hauler.
more like 170 miles in a normal daily charging routine where you dont charge above 80 % to preserve the battery life. You dont want to drop below 10% charge either. Add colder or very hot climate conditions and you are losing even more range. Its a big compromise. Good toy around the town as a secondary car.
We won’t see 400 real world miles EV in 10-15 years with an affordable $50K price. The only EV with 516 stated range EV in production now is the Lucid Air and price is 150-200K.
😂 Poor Zack! Don’t eat anything before you get in the vehicle. 😂 Beautiful vehicle! I just wish this touchscreen build into dashboard. We all dream of better range. Great video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻☕️☕️
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
@@andreaspencer9813 You are an very welcome!! ☕️☕️
Thanks for remarking on the rear wiper! 👍
You bet!
Range is good - as long as you don’t have real Canadian winters. Losing 40-50% is what kills you.
its Very Mercedes, with the interior and trim and the infotainment is kind of Audi-ish. Except it looks better than the BMW and Mercedes EV's
Love your review. ❤
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Great car. I can't wait for a GV100.
Wow they are so professional and on point. As for the car it really has the elegance yet ev. Amazing suv with lots to offer
Another out-of-the-park review. Nice car..
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Lyriq starts at $58.4k in the USA. Not $65k.
I don't think you mentioned it... but is the back row floor raised (compared to the gas version) to accommodate the batteries (like Genesis did on the electrified G80)? Love your channel BTW.
Yes the floor is raised a little bit but not a big hump which is nice.
@@andreaspencer9813
Thanks
looking forward to getting one once it has wireless apple CarPlay
The mat painted color and gorgeous interior styling are absolutely perfect. Why do we buy tesla model Y rather than this one?
Though I wouldn’t buy an all electric vehicle for several reasons, this GV70 has to be the best looking of them all, particularly the interior. Most interiors of EVs look minimalistic and cheap. Not this one. Great job Genesis
wish there was a dealer closer to me....even though this an EV it will still need servicing (not as often...) and I don't fathom driving a couple of hrs to my nearest dealer....my Hyundai dealer needs to join the list of dealers to bring on Genesis to their property......Guess I'll keep wishing for that one...🤷🏻♂
After listening to Zack’s comment about range I’d like to see him take any EV on a Road trip and see how easy it would be to charge an EV in real world driving, NOT just in town where a vehicle can be driven at home. Yes an EV for a town car would not need more then 400 Km of range but long distances can be a challenge?? I have read horror stories of chargers not working and the Infrastructure is just not there yet, is it ???
I absolutely love these cars, the only worry I have is that I am so used to reverse parking and the EV port is at the front.
Only time I park front first is in a busy car park and I'm due for the weekly or monthly shopping, which might actually be the only times I would charge the EV if there were any charging stations available at that time.
Wow yes Andrea, Zack needs calming down after that 10 seconds extra boost mode, cup of ☕️ me thinks 🤔. This Genesis looks fantastic and luxurious too Andrea!
Haha! Yes it is a beautiful vehicle, expensive but beautiful.
@@andreaspencer9813 Absolutely agree!
Well done, it's difficult to get a straight answer on when this is available in the States. We live in Washington and are on 3 "waiting lists". Going to see a buddy who owns the Hyundai dealership to see if we can get anywhere. We are willing to spend the $75k for the E GV70 here in Washington, but cannot seem to get anyone to take our money lol
this is not 65k because the way they did the configuration, you have to add the 7K PRESTIGE package unless you want to feel like you are driving a hyundai. Total price is 73k, this is not worthed. for 2k more you can get an Audi etron q8 with air suspension and 285 miles range.
Looks like a great vehicle. I just bought a 23 GV70 2.5T Advance (US). Love it. One gripe- the design is so captivating yet in good old NJ, I have to slap a nice plate right in the lower center of the grill. When are the mfg going to put some pressure on govt to drop all these requirements?
I know- first world problems.
Great review!
i like this channel
Hopefully battery tech will continue to improve so that we can get some usable range and bring down the weight. There’s no stopping this train.
i heard that someone in BC ordered car thru Kia last year and after they got the pricing his invoice was $8k over MSRP with dealer markups and extra add ons! This was on Global news today.
Dealers set price, not manufacturers. That's why it's called MSRP... Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail Price. It's a suggestion, not a rule.
Most dealers will honor MSRP, but not all... if someone is marking up prices over MSRP 100% of the time that's going to be a specific dealership, not the manufacturer.
I would suggest not doing business with any dealership charging over MSRP.
Don't understand why so many manufacturers, including Genesis don't tuck that rear wiper under the top hangover on top of the window. No wireless CarPlay is odd, because some Kia models does offer wireless CarPlay and Android.
It's very simple to explain actually.
Kia/Hyundai make Genesis, so yes, things carry over.
Lots of Kia's and lots of Hyundai's have wireless AA/Carplay, and lots do not.
The reason is simple... does the vehicle offer built-in Navigation from Hyundai/Kia or does it not?
If it lacks built-in navigation it has wireless AA/Carplay.
If it has built-in navigation it has wired AA/Carplay.
Why is that? The reason is Hyundai/Kia wants you to use their built-in navigation over Google/Apple, and they have some sort of legal/intellectual squabble with Google over the issue and it results in no wireless AA if Hyundai has built-in navigation. The hardware is there, but there's some legal squabble going on that prevents it from being activated.
@@wolfshanze5980 You got it. Don’t understand why so many car reviewers don’t know this. Btw, I find the Hyundai in-house navigation to be superior over Google or other navigation systems.
As a car enthusiasm. Until these manufacturers can make375 miles of range the norm.....I will choose an ice vehicle over an EV any day😊
Only if they made a hybrid of gv70
Excellent review as usual but a maximum 236 mile range with a more realistic 190 mile range (80% of 236) is silliness for typical use in middle America. We're going to drive our ICE vehicle at least 700 miles to visit relatives during an upcoming 4-day weekend. Neither of the relatives we're going to visit has EV charging nor does the upscale hotel where we're going to stay for one or more likely two nights. We'll gas up our ICE vehicle only once during the 700 miles (taking only about 5 minutes to do so) since it has a reliable range of over 500 miles on a full tank of gas. I suppose we could seek out charging stations off our route although they're rare where we're going but who wants to sit at a charger for an hour or more at a time at least three times during a 700 mile 4-day trip? I wouldn't mind having an EV. I've sat down with Tesla people twice trying to make one of theirs work for us to no avail. . Even charging at home is impractical since it would cost over $10,000 (the minimum estimate) to get just level 2 charging in the garage of our 40+ year old house. EV's like this Genesis continue to be only for local use or for hobbyists who are willing to organize their lives around them..
Well you got some basic facts wrong. Tesla usually only takes half an hour to charge at a supercharger, and you got plenty of stuff to do (watching a movie, going to a restaurant, relaxing a bit). In fact, my wife and son really enjoy the half hour charging time and they look forward to it. As to home charging, I don't know where your number is coming from, but I would say $1,000+ is enough to install a level 2 plug. Even if your number is correct, if your daily driving range is not too many (50km or so), as most people do, you can get away with 110v charging and that's what we have been doing for more than 1 year now. I know it's always hard to accept a new concept but sometimes it is not as hard as it seems if you are willing to give it a try.
@@yfbgca9492 I have no difficulty in accepting a "new concept". I've thought this through and have "run the numbers". Our 40+ year old house simply isn't compatible with getting level 2, let alone level 3, charging to the garage without upgrading the house's electrical service and doing significant demolition and reconstruction. I have also investigated installing a Tesla Powerwall but that is not practical either. 30 minutes at a Tesla Supercharger is meaningless when there no Superchargers or other EV charging along the rural routes we drive. There's not a single charging station in my home town of 13,000 people that we visit. I suspect that you live in a high density area where public charging is common.
@@H2SO4H20 Well, you cannot blame Tesla for catering to the part of the country (or world) where the population is denser and charging can be installed easier. There is no problem not driving an EV when your situation doesn't suit it. My guess is that when people look to retrofit their houses (maybe solar in the future), EV charging at home makes more sense. Meanwhile gas prices keep increasing and the cost of maintaining ICE cars getting more expensive, eventually the scale will tip for the majority of individuals.
@@H2SO4H20 yes and no. We do have a supercharger downtown but I only used it once or twice. As I said we do not drive more than 50 kilometres daily so the “level 1” charging (110v) at home is more than enough for our need. We don’t even need to charge every night. And it’s totally fine for our occasional short return trip of 200+ km. When we are on longer trips we just use the supercharger and it’s totally fine too. If you drive less than 50 km (30 miles) daily you can totally get away with charging on your current sockets. If you do drive more than that daily then it might be an issue.
I want a gv80 !🎉🎉🎉
That glacier white interior looks almost like the launch special trim from the g70 years back. They had a green color I think it was called back forest green with white interior
Really nice vehicle, BUT 383 kilometres of range to dead, on a sunny summer day? What's it going to be like in Canada, where it is below freezing for 5 months out of the year? With great price, features, fit, finish and warranty though, it is pretty tempting.
EV's are neat BUT they're not ready for primetime! EV range is adversely affected by very cold temperatures where the vehicle may lose as much as 40% of range, The cost of charging varies greatly. Where I am the rate is $12 cents per KWH so at home the vehicle at 77.4 kwh battery costs about $10.00 to charge. But on the road chargers can be as much as $.45 cents per KWH meaning you'll pay some where around $34.00 US to charge instead of $10.00 at home.(Then there's the issue of chargers availability along the road. EV's right now are ok for around town travel but are not Road trip cars, in fact there are many places you couldn't travel because there are zero chargers. In time that likely will change but right now EV's are ok second cars. The Chevy Bolt was seemingly the best buy for an EV at 250 mile range and $30,000.00 price tag (as a second about town car) But LG had supplied defective batteries to GM and the issues began. EV's really need a better power source unaffected by extreme cold and heat (at least to the level that ICE vehicles have). EV's range needs to be seriously greater too, and EV charge times need to be similar to ICE refuel time of minutes instead of hours.
How about reusable coffee mugs for questions coffee and cars? You could even brand them Motormouth and sell them to fans?
You all make me feel like I need to have things immediately!
If we generate electricity from fossil fuels and use the same to charge an EV, it won’t make much difference compared to the ICE car emissions.
And always great review!
Less than 300 miles of range? Pass.
Absolutely glorious inside and out BUT like flossy Carter would say: TGDH! ( Too god damn high! )
Somewhat OT, but would you please address the brake light issue with every hybrid and EV you review?
The issues concerning the brake lights are: when do they alert the driver in the car behind you that you are slowing down? In some regen braking the brake lights don't flash when you release the accelerator even when the slowdown is precipitous. Once you are completely stopped, do they go off? Do the brake lights flash each time you let off of the accelerator (which gives the appearance of brake-checking to the driver behind)?
I understand that Tesla brake lights go into emergency flash when the deceleration is over the certain threshold. How do other hybrid/EV makers apply this?
No spare, no wireless Apple CarPlay (seriously?!), and that range? I was excited about this car and it looks like a lot of fun, but those put me out.
What about availability???? Across Canada, especially in Manitoba???
All provinces
Amen!!
I bought a GV 70 Electrified and this vehicle had a malfunction after 3 days of ownership. The malfunction was due to a rear inverter failing and the rear motor failing, where-as the mechanic discovered burnt residue within the motor. After replacing said parts, they decided to test drive the vehicle for 131 miles, without notifying me or requesting authorization. This increased my odometer by 36%.
Every step of the way was a complete hassle. The Genesis of America service advisor (Khoi) claims he has no idea about the requirements to fix this vehicle and claims he did not know about the road test, yet when calling the service advisor, she claims that she told him before Khoi called me.
I believe this company is trying to hide this issue on the first iteration of this car because it will be costly to initiate a recall which will skew their earnings on this specific vehicle. I would recommend that no one buys their electric vehicles as their Hyundai Ioniq 5 is equally as terrible as a vehicle.
The Ioniq 5 driving assistant tool over powers the steering wheel while in use. This same vehicle also has the collision assistance that would notify the driver while the vehicle is completely stopped at a light and another car moves in an adjacent lane.
I was interested until I saw the price. At $84k CAD this is a huge ask even if it only comes fully loaded, this is WAY above Model Y LR AWD, Q4 e-tron and RZ450e and even the Lyriq 600E4 as listed.
It's nice, but they should have put a better charge port covers for that price. BMW does it MUCH better in that regard.
$65k+ commuter car? US rebate or not I don't think so!
Very nice but I think they need to increase their efficiency 77 kilowatt battery and only 383km for the size. Hopefully with the ever-increasing battery technology and lower cost ,We we'll see 500km at more affordable price.
In USA we always get less features in the car market
Is that level 2 home charging time to 80% or 100% charge?
And what's the range at 80% charge?
I'm trading in my 2022 GV70 3.5T Sport Plus for this version. Should arrive in July. Can't wait!
Charging an electric vehicle is akin to sitting in your backyard, watching the grass grow.
Looks really good, but the range it's lacking.
I think Genesis has made a big mistake by eliminating heated steering wheel and Lexicon Sound sytem from the "Advanced" package, forcing you to pay the extra $6,800, or go with another manufacturer, if you want or need these features. I would have also like the option to get HUD and heated rear seats without having to go with a "Prestige" package.
Is it eligible for the 7500 USD federal tax credit such as Tesla Model Y?
As we stated in the video it does.
Biggest question : how does it compare to the Cadillac Lyriq? Please make a comparison video (Canada)
I drive a 3.5 GV70 and get 400 kms / 250 miles range average. Not much better than the electrified version of 380 kms / 236 miles. Then add $17000 CAD to have the same vehicle without gas and a 'not ready for prime time' network of chargers? It's a great vehicle but I don't see the value in going electric yet :(
Everybody's on the Genesis tip these day's that range is not where it's at Lexus catching hell for that little range they have and Genesis is getting hailed as the best wats really going on the Lexus looks better to me but my money would be on the Cadillac lyriq it's got 300 + range and looks like nothing else on the road
Well there’s also the charging speed which Lexus charge like a turtle
Cadillac Lyriq is great but the look is also polarizing and it’s almost through q1 2023 and we don’t see much delivery of it yet
Let's just see how expensive the upcoming Macan EV will be?
I’d be curious to know what maintenance they are actually doing during those 5 years
My guess would be Inspections and brake fluid
Wow, these EV are so affordable 👍😂
I also love how our government is giving OUR money for people who can already afford some of these EV, but have no plans on upgrading our electrical grid. Bravo 👏
Almost everything you listed is a cost option here in the UK.
I know, because my wife wants all of them
Great review (as always), of yet another outrageously priced electric vehicle!
To be fair, Genesis is a luxury brand, so you get luxury prices... you can get a pure EV under 35K if you go with a cheaper manufacturer like Chevy (the Bolt).
@@wolfshanze5980 Understood but Zack is constantly lamenting that EVs are settling into a luxury vehicle item, and he's right. And even vs the Audi/Volvo competition this Genesis is a price premium
@@willoverkill8461 EVs STARTED in Luxury and have been spreading out to other price points, including sub-35K vehicles... or are you saying the Chevy Bolt doesn't exist?
Just because an EV is made at a 70K price point, doesn't mean that ALL EVs are at a 70K or higher price point. Chevy Bolt, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Toyota BZ4X, are all much, Much, MUCH cheaper than a Genesis 70.
You can LITERALLY go out today and buy a full EV like a Chevy Bolt at of 25K MSRP or a Nissan Leaf at 28K MSRP. Are you seriously going to sit here and say "well Zack said all EVs are too expensive Luxury items, so i'm just going to pretend EVs under 30K don't exist and parrot what I heard on the internet".
Sorry, EVs are being made at multiple price points, including under 30K... and will only continue to spread to all price points... despite what you and Zack say.
@@wolfshanze5980 The Bolt is much cheaper in America for some reason, they didn't drop the price here, it starts at $41k here in Canada; the Nissan Leaf is also $41k, used to be $38k last year. No other EV starts below $45k now that I know of, the Ioniq5/EV6 were $44k last year but now $51k, the Tesla3 was $44k but now $55k, the VW ID4 has remained most price stable at $46k. When I looked at an EV this time last year, it was an easy to decision to get a $34k Toyota Camry hybrid instead, bigger vehicle and had the leather, sunroof, safety tech etc, saved a couple thousand over the cheapest EVs on the market despite rebates.
@Will Overkill I simply listed US MSRP for the Bolt and Leaf... both are under 30K and that's BEFORE you take off around 7K tax credit... EVs are simply not just for super rich people.
They are continuing to put out EVs across the price bracket, the more time passes, the more it goes out to all price ranges, it's certainly NOT just going the expensive luxury route.
You can certainly pay 70K for an EV if you want... but you can also (after a incentive deduction) get an EV for under 25K, and there's more in the middle between 25K and 70K... so my point stands... you can get an EV at nearly any price bracket.
So what is the actual real-world range? What is a real world range on 80% charge?
Genesis GV70
is Way Better than Tesla
Can you explain how the bigger wheel to affect the ev range? Thanks 🙏
More rolling resistance, basically.
0-60 ?
Do you think Genesis will put the PHEV Model on the market by 2024. My sister in law and I both would love to Purchase the GV70 ev. But only as PHEV.
It looks like you are in my British Properties neighborhood!
Feels more premium market
Almost 100,000$ (with taxes) and only 380 km of range in best conditions !! No thanks !!! A minimalist Bolt EV can do better.
