Should I Buy the 2025 Genesis Electrified GV70?
The gas-powered GV70 is already a standout luxury compact SUV, and the Electrified GV70’s all-electric powertrain only enhances this vehicle’s premium feel. The dual electric motor system is smooth, whisper-quiet and incredibly fast, but its driving range is mediocre — and like most electric vehicles, it tacks on a significant price premium over an internal combustion engine. The Electrified GV70’s conventional exterior styling and interior layout are refreshing compared with some aggressively unorthodox EV rivals. All GV70s come standard with a long lineup of comfort and tech features, and the cabin deserves credit for its modern design and refinement — even if the touchscreen is placed too far from the driver and its console-mounted control dial is easily confused with the rotary-style shifter.
