The 2024 Genesis Electrified GV70 Might Just Be The Best Genesis Ever
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- With nearly 500 horsepower and the second fastest 0-60 time in the Genesis lineup, there's not much wrong with the GV70 EV, as long as you're OK with just over 200 miles of driving range. For most folks not only will that be just fine, never visiting the gas station again is a "luxury feature" worth contemplating.
The biggest deal with the "Electrified GV70" (which is a silly name by the way) is that unlike a EQE or RZ 450e, the GV70 looks almost identical to the gasoline model. If you're not interested in an EV that looks like a spaceship, check out the GV70.

Genesis is so smart. No EV badges all over it…..no stupid name(bz4x). Great vehicle…..if you want an EV, and can afford it 👍
I should have gotten the GV70 electric but I’m still happy with my GV60. The extra room on the 70 would be appreciated for day trips with a double stroller in the boot. It’s my daily work car so it does the job I bought it for wonderfully!
You’d be surprised that the rear world difference between interior space between the GV60 and GV70 electric is actually not THAT significant.
The GV60 is more of a hatchback than it is an SUV. While the EGV70 is a proper SUV. Both are compact size but the cost difference is that much so I rather get the latter any day. The opening sunroof is a big factor for me. The interior of the GV60 is nice tho but so is the EGV70 especially with the better steering wheel. Also I know looks are subjective but the back of the EGV70 is much nicer.
I love that my eGV70 has an opening sunroof, "normal" door handles (that work extraordinarily well) and a rear wiper.
Alex, I just wanna say, you are the gold standard for information on autos. You have done the entire industry such an amazing job!! I trust you and your channel for all things cars, and have regularly watched, referred to, and recommended you for years. I thank you. I appreciate you. And I am grateful to you! Cheers!

I was having a little buyer's remorse before watching your video. I pick up my new electrified GV70 tomorrow evening. Your sharp review made me feel so good about making this decision. I was about to buy my 5th consecutive Lincoln, but they messed up. Genesis is hungrier and proved to me that they want my business.
This is not only the best EV currently available, it may very well be the best car currently available. I absolutely love my dark gray Electrified GV70.
What kind of range do you get?
About 380 km in mostly city driving with a full charge. On a road trip at highway speeds, that goes down to about 350.
@@davidwan247 From what I'm hearing and reading, I just made a great purchase. Leaving the Lincoln brand after 4 vehicles and picking up my silver electrified GV70 tomorrow!
@@RohbVogue Congrats! I bet you love your new eGV70 as much as I love mine. I also bought a silver one. I've owned the car for about 11 months now and by far it's the best car I have ever owned. :)
I've read from GV70e owners that they get about 260 - 280 miles if they run it in eco mode (I assume decouples the drivetrain to RWD) and increasing regen levels. That's MIGHTY impressive.
NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A
ELECTRIC CAR, NONE OF THAT FUTURISTIC AND EXTRA STEPS CRAP, JUST KEEP IT LUXURIOUS, IF NOT THEN SIMPLE 🙏🏽💯
Dear Alex
Thank you very much for your great work! It was a great source of information for many of my car purchases already. I have the electrified GV70 for a few month now and it is al lovely car (in Atacama Copper). Anyway, I keep my KIA Stinger for long distances aswell. Have a good start into the new year!
Greetings from Germany! 😊
Really curious if Genesis has a GV90 Electric coming sometime soon. With how impressive the GV80 is I can only imagine how insane that model could be
Rumor mill says not until the next full generation
Genesis and EV are a match made in heaven. Arguably, the powertrain has been the weakest part of Genesis vehicles. Since Hyundai-Kia’s EV technologies are quite competitive in the current market, EV Genesis makes the brand really compelling option versus other luxury EVs imo. The only thing missing right now is the higher end models with dedicated EV platform for better overall packaging and range.
Alex did a great job articulating in word my same impressions from my test drive - very attractive vehicles well!
Old a Leaf owner here. Charging port in from is definitely the best. No problem with Pittsburgh snow
This has been the best small luxury crossover since release. Just more and more good reviews even with the electric version. Genesis is absolutely killing it.
Tell that to all the haters who still think it’s just a junk Hyundai
@@naveenthemachine there will always be close minded people unfortunately.
The Gv70 is my favorite electric vehicle right now for most of the points you made. It looks normal! Buttons and switches are where you expect them to be. For me the climate control is fine as a mix of buttons and screen. The tunnel hump is fine also it keeps the car feeling normal. I can't stress that enough lol. I believe there is a market for regular looking cars that happen to be electric.
+1. Also, Alex, I get your observation about mixed buttons and touch functions, and given your two druthers I am old school to the extent I would opt for buttons all the way, but... I would much (much) rather see this mix than all touch screen functions.
I drive this vehicle and it's the best vehicle I have ever leased. I truly enjoy the feel of what looks like a natural car, but it's electric. No gimmicks or anything that makes the driving experience artificial.
Always enjoy your reviews! It'd be great if you also started reviewing the autosteering features in the driving portions of your reviews.
i have the GV60 and auto steering and ACC work well. Past 75 I would not rely on it because it’s not aggressive enough to make the turn. The annoying thing I found is that it constantly reminds you to put your hand on the steering wheel, even if you have your hands on the steering wheel.
My experience is that the Hyundai systems work better than the Toyota systems, for example, but that's not what CR says for one. That's why I'd like Alex to weigh in.
Thank you for the video! I am picking up my GV70 later today and I am grateful to have found your video. Sooooo detailed and informative!!!
Great video, love the way you show how the rear underfloor storage tray can be removed 👍🏻
I wish we had the old intro song every single time I watch one of your videos. I really think creators constantly underestimate how much the average viewer just wants things to remain the same. These channels have a special place in our hearts in a time where EVERYTHING is changing.
One more bot here
The Boost button is a smart idea, it allows you to get maximum power and performance but with limits & rations, without paying for a bigger battery or extra performance cost. Mario Andretti on demand is better in my opinion.
Really considering this vehicle for my wife since we own another Genesis, but there are a couple factors steering us away. The GV60 feels more spacious on the inside because of the lack of center tunnel, as mentioned in the review; it really hurts the airiness of the cabin. Second is that fully specced 3.5L V6 used versions currently can be had for ~$45k, which not only is a huge price delta but also bodes badly for the EV depreciation and pricing wars.
I’m right there with you. So what about GV60 vs gas GV70?
@@pewpewpower For both pf you guys if you haven't puled the trigger now is the time! I just got one this weekend for my wife and they took 20K off MSRP. Its such a good deal im trading my AMG GLE for a prestige one myself. Im leasing though. you shouldn't own any EV. Depreciation will be so bad that it would be foolish to own one.
@@TheSonyExperiencecan you share how much your lease came out to be with tax, fees etc?
The most thorough review by far. Thanks and God bless
If I was in the market for a compact EV SUV this would be it. I want three rows in case I need it so I'm still waiting. I'm glad that they're offering more colors this year but they need to give us that blue interior from the ICE GV70. It would be nice if they made a sporty version as well. It's a tough choice between this or the ICE GV70 3.5T tho. They're both around the same price but the ICE version looks so nice inside and out.
This may just be the way to go. Thank you for the review, Alex. What confuses the frick out of me when it comes to ev city/highway ratings is MPGe numbers. So they tell us this is 91 MPGe combined. But how do I deduce the approximate range from that number? How many MPGe does this models battery hold? If the range is 236 miles and the combined range number is 91, I get 2,593 "gallons" of electricity capacity. Am I doing the math correctly on this? Is that calculation the same for all evs? Just can't seem to wrap my head around these numbers.
Love your content and insight, thank you for diving deep. Two things I think car reviewers are weird about: rear seat leg/head room importance. In the real world people rarely, if ever, drive with adults in the back seat so why put so much emphasis on it? Also the idea of road tripping in an EV. It’s such a rare occurrence that the constant reference to range vs a road trip is meaningless. I own an EV and have many friends who own EV’s and none of them care about, nor plan to ever, go on a road trip in our EV. Anyway, love this car and probably going to buy one when my Polestar lease is up next year.
"Turducken"???!!!🤣🤣🤣😎 I know what that is, but how many of us do? And hey Bro, no turkey here ... this is all really good stuff.
And while we're at it - Have yourself and yours an EXCELLENT CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY, HEALTHY, PROSPEROUS and SAFE NEW YEAR.🙏
It just occurred to me that the location of the charge port means even a minor accident could potentially render the port unusable leaving you unable to charge, thus totally disabling the car. That is not a great situation...
I think the keyword there is potentially. Even if it were located elsewhere, the vehicle could potentially still be rendered unusable depending on the type and severity of the accident.
Having the charge port on the front sucks if you’re a bad/distracted driver and tend to rear-end people 😂
@@ALMX5DP I don't know the stats but, I'm pretty sure a big proportion of accidents affect the front of the car
@@_eternal_now well of course, but what does that have to do with my comment?
@@garrettw99rear charge port is on side quarter panel - rear ending will not impact it. Also on passenger side which is least probable to suffer in crash.
Have you ever had an accident while testing some of the cars? if yes, how did you manage the issue with the lender? do you have some photos?
This ticks a lot of boxes but I knew the price would be a knockout punch. Waiting to see what the Equinox EV (and hopefully some Honda/Acura versions of it) look like.
Alex, I find my tastes very similar to yours, (even owned a Jaguar XJR😉). I know they are different segments, but the price is close enough for me... This or a Tesla Model S LR?
I'm a super-commuter (200+ total miles per day) with access to charging at work. I value quiteness, controled suspension isolation and modern UI. I currently drive a Model Y and loath its crashy suspension and lack of isolation.
The melody that you have in the outro kind of sounds like spokoinoi nochi, malyshi.
Wish they could fix that torque steering and make it feel like a RWD platform.
Great video , I have a GV 60 very happy with the car I did drive a GV 70 beautiful car I do find it to big for what I need its more of a family vehicle .
Genesis is smart, I will buy GV80 EV one day.
I prefer the charge port on the back left because that’s how my charging situation in my garage is set up
AS always a very thorough report.
Any idea how much roof racks hurt mileage?
The fact that the performance doesn’t diminish until below 25% vs 70% from the competitors is another example why Genesis and Kia are winning 🥇 Tesla introduced me to my only EV drive experience so far, but their manufacturing can not keep pace with Genesis and Kia gaining EV technology advances.
Does the 3D instrument cluster feature work when the driver is wearing sunglasses?
Tesla has an excellent battery management system, but they’re behind in manufacturing with Genesis and Kia. I did want a Tesla after my test drive, but now, I’m a Genesis & Kia fan.
There's a variety of EV flavors out in the world now, that's to everyone's benefit. -Travis
Can you use the 'boost'-button in Eco-Mode as a shortcut to full power for overtaking ? It would suit me to save energy and trundle along in Eco and just press the button to overtake like Meat Loaf.
@overboost7667 - Yes, you can use the Boost button while in Eco mode as a shortcut to full power. I tried it just yesterday in my eGV70. Absolutely fantastic!
@@richardb9591 Thanks for the feedback ! Then the button makes total sense for me.
Even in his prime Mr. Loaf couldn't overtake a Yugo.😆
Is there a review by Alex for the 2024 gv70 gas model, not the EV? Anyone know?
I wish this had more range. Otherwise it's a perfect car! I love that it doesnt look like some obnoxiously styled EV that tries too hard. It just looks like a regular luxury car!
Alex, I am curious how you and your team can report on the engineering specifications for this car. Specifically, how did you find out or confirm that this is a "turducken" mash-up of the two main platforms Genesis uses? (That is, e-GMP for the bottom of the vehicle structure and drivetrain, and the M3 for the top.) I have heard and read that Hyundai Motor Group either do not share engineering information with American news outlets, or do not care to. This is the first time I have heard of the explanation that you gave regarding how Genesis mated the two platforms for Electrified GV70.
Imo if Genesis is adopting Tesla station ability several of the ‘just get a Y’ reasons fall off.
It’s definitely a much more attractive and well appointed vehicle compared to a Y. Material usage between the two is no comparison. Vinyl seats vs Napa Leather etc etc etc
Efficiency is king. You can charge faster but deplete also faster with Genesis than Tesla. I do not like Tesla design, but they are the most efficient EVs available.
The headrests sticking forward like that are a huge peeve of mine. What do they think people are shaped like? I had to get some memory foam pillows to go in the gap beneath my headrests in my Ioniq 5 so I could sit more like a normal human.
Whoa this just shows how efficient Tesla model y is. With the same size of battery that can go 100 miles more.
Range seems low? Is there a bigger battery?
For the $17,000 premium over a base 2.5L GV70, how much more do you get other than the performance upgrade? And whats the EPA range of the base GV70 (w 91/93 octane minimum I presume)?
The eGV70 has 24% more body rigidity than the gas version, is much quieter, and accelerates like a bat out of hell. I traded in a GV70 3.5T for my electric GV70 and have had no regrets whatsoever.
In Australia this is $40,000 more than the 3.5 petrol
Curious why EV owners in snowy areas would prefer the charge port at the rear?
Snow build up at the front grill ?
No wireless CarPlay is a no go from me. I didn’t have it on my 2019 G90 but I have it now on my 2006 Lexus (aftermarket unit), and I will never go back.
Any conversation with a GV70 has to include the reliability problems with the ICE version which are entirely side stepped with the EV version
Could you explain to the layman how the lease credit situation works for EVs eligible under lease but not purchase? Can you just lease and buy-out at the end for the same effective discount? Or are there other considerations?
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.
As of early May 2024, Per Genesis offers website, Advanced trim of the gv70 Ev is still 499/ month, 3999 down for 10k miles. Only difference now is slightly higher 18000 cash back for the 36 month gv70 lease.
.....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.
Mine leaked through the glass roof , the doors would not close properly and the customer service is abysmal!
What kinda jacket is Alex wearing. I need it
Beautiful car, insidr and out!
Please, stop using MPGe; it makes no sense. Range is a more accurate approximation.
This always remind me a Q5 sized e-tron
It is a great pick, though I still think the battery is still compromised by its shared platform design. The Audi Q4 e-tron has a 82 kWh battery in much of the same size, and the Mustang Mach-E has a far bigger 91 kWh. The king is the Caddy Lyriq with 102 kWh pack.
Also, Genesis in Canada only sells the eGV70 in one trim, loaded to the gills. It also means it costs an eye watering $84k CAD sticker price. Ouch.
Battery is like a backpack full of food. Running with a bigger backpack means you will consume more. I am not fan of Tesla design, but in terms of efficiency (number of miles from 1kWh covered), they are winning. If consumers get over the initial design impression, they may sober up and see that all these converted platform EVs are several hundred pounds heavier than comparable Tesla / dedicated EV platform.
Mach E’s bigger battery exist to compensate for efficiency deficiencies. And that is the case of Hummer EV. I would be surprised if EV Escalade is any different.
@@David_Journey efficiency is only one aspect of a car - Tesla sacrifices a LOT of everything to make the efficiency happen. The Model 3 and Y are some of the worse NVH cars you can buy new these days & they ride like shit. Not to mention their interior is barren of any design with cost cutting to the bone in material quality and switchgear.
@@Trades46 The point is not to be a Tesla fanboy, rather point out: legacy manufacturers could do better. They too try to make their EVs look out of this world instead of focusing on efficiency and bringing down cost.
Tesla NVH improved upon installing double-pane glass, and they too reworked the Model Y suspension. I am still very much not fan of barren design that leads to driver distraction (which can't be compensated by some beta version of Autopilot that can fail you when you need it the most).
The gv70 is still the best.
Toyota should just surrender with the bZ4X and RZ
@@garrettw99 they should give up and just go out of business like Kmart. Everyone knows they’re not very competitive
Charges really fast. If you can find an 800v charger.
I would spend a little more and get a eqe 350+
possibly the best electric luxury suv out there right now. If only it had a bit better efficiency and/or a bit larger battery it would be perfect
Another potential competitor: Cadillac Lyriq
It's definitely not the best Genesis ever but most probably the best one yet!
if price is not a consideration, G90 is quite nice...
Range is low and interior space is small relative to exterior size.
Very nice car from a german point of view.😊
I’m not a road tripper, but if and when I decide to take road trips, Genesis will hopefully be fully available on Tesla’s network.
Even if they're not, unless your road trip is through many states it wouldn't be difficult to make the drive using other Level 3 charging stations. -Travis
You are way underestimating the value of fsd. Genesis is not comparable to autopilot.
3.5 V6 in purple please
Cool, but i much prefer the ZDX type S im getting next year...i would even rather Honda Prol
Hallelujah and kudos to Genesis for jettisoning 🤬 PIANO BLACK on steering wheel controls and the console, door cards, etc. Paying attention Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus, et. al.?
Genesis GV70 evolution
Alex, you should also mention their lack of dedicated dealerships and poor service reputation. Great car but not worth it if appointments are 3 months out for simple diagnostics
^ Based on my experience, I must disagree. I live in a mid-size city in Ontario Canada, and my Genesis dealer (distributor) has a great service reputation. As well, I never have to wait more than a week or two when I make a service appointment.
I looked at this, but bought the Lexus RZ 450E. I am not a big fan of Korean styling and I’m concerned about long-term liability with Hyundai. I love my Lexus.
How is the range, charging and efficiency? I heard it is terrible, is it true? Like 150 miles and less?
Cost to replace a damaged battery on Hyundai I5 = $60,000
I keep watching GV70 videos to figure out why everyone is recommending the GV70 over the GV60, and I still don't get that from this video. Some people don't like the styling of the GV60, which is fair, but the interior of the GV60 is bigger even though the car is smaller, and the GV70 is missing the coolest features of the GV60, especially the drawer compartment, which I think should replace the glove box on every vehicle moving forward.
If you still can’t understand after actually watching the video, then just stop trying.
^ Two sample reasons to prefer the eGV70 over the GV60 are door handle design and the lack of a rear wiper (GV60). I have an eGV70 and it's absolutely fantastic. You should go and drive one.
@@richardb9591 I have seen and driven the EGV70, but the GV60 is the only reason I shopped Genesis at all. Like I said, the only defense of the GV70 that makes sense to me is the conservative styling, which is personal preferene. But facial recognition and the drawer-style glove box are two game changing car features that should be on all Genesis models. No idea why they're just on the GV60, and for me, the eGV70 was priced $10k over the GV60 even before the markups. Not sure if that's changed.
Audi Q4 OR Q8 e Tron Sportback
Genesis need to add RWD to all of their EVs besides the GV60. Not everyone is interested in AWD with gobs of power, but maximizing range and lower price tag.
but the Genesis Christmas commercial is the most annoying thing on TV!
Gv60 is stopping production due to low sales :{
It was due to low sales of all EVs, and I reportedly it's only for 2 months. I read that the GV60 was their best seller of their EVs. My unconfirmed suspicion is that Genesis is pumping its EGV70 over the GV60 because it's going to make the GV70 in the US, and therefore the GV70 will get some tax credits.
Is this a fact? When will the EGV70 be made in the US? Would love the tax credit!@@martman123456
Such a nice car but unacceptable short range 😢
For what you get though it’s decent. You can get worse range and get a much worse vehicle altogether
@@naveenthemachineYeah, say that to the RZ450 e.
@@mrgurulittle7000 but as Alex said the RZ is boring slow not luxurious and it’s overpriced
The RZ is the Mitsubishi mirage of luxury evs
@@naveenthemachineKirk said it had the best materials in its class. And zero to 60 is faster than the Audi etron, and similar to the Volvo XC40. And it isn’t overpriced because you can get minimal 5k off price, if not more. Calling it a Mirage is a stretch, although the Mirage isn’t a bad car.
The range works just fine for me. I'm loving my eGV70 - it's an awesome vehicle.
I'd buy it in a minute if it offered 320 mile range.
It has high charging speeds, I'd prefer to have faster charging than carry around battery I would only use occasionally. -Travis
Next year's battery is set to be exactly 10 % larger, like the 2025 ioniq5, and Kia ev6 of 84 KWh.
Hyundai and Kia models should get 300+ miles for RWD models.
But I don't know if it's going to be 10 % incr range for the AWD Genesis. It will be the same weight, so I expected a proportionately higher range but apparently the ev6 AWD has LESS than 10%better range next year.
The jaguar I pace Ev400 would be competition and much better quality
No. Jaguar vehicles have terrible reliability. My neighbor's Jaguar is always in the shop. I own a Genesis eGV70 and the quality is 1st class.
@@richardb9591 his jaguar is not an all electric vehicle is it?

No thanks.
So buy something you can afford. A Honda Civic perhaps? In the meantime I'm thoroughly enjoying my eGV70.
No spare tie, and a useless driveshaft tunnel, hardly any storage and at high $ price tag? No way. Huge pass
Seems to have comparable storage, the driveshaft tunnel might be utilized for some batteries or associated components and spare tires are rare in any vehicle these days. Price is what it is.
All the things you mentions are nit-picks for most people
Tesla model Y long range all the way...😊 The ride is now fantastic.
But the interior of Tesla vehicles totally sucks! 😂
@richardb9591 your opinion is what sucks. I have owned a May 2022 model Y and LOVE it along with the November 2018 model 3 long-range that bought brand new. I also have a Cybertruck on order that I will soon be driving. Hahaha 😆
