2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 First Drive: Great Expectations
• The luxury brand hopes to repeat the success of the ICE compact SUV with this EV.
In a nutshell, this new model is a GV70, only electric. The dimensions are the same, the interior layout is the same and the two SUVs are built on the same platform. Our focus then, with the first drive of the model we undertook in the Atlanta region, is on what new the all-electric powertrain brings to the GV70 experience, as well as on how the Electrified can expect to do coming in a segment that’s getting more crowded every year.2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 - Front end, headlights Photo: D.
Just like outside, inside we’re dealing with a space that’s essentially the same as the ICE GV70. And that’s a pretty good thing, because the environment is airy and very quiet, the seating comfortable, the materials first-class. Genesis has made sure this can be considered in the same breath as the German luxury models in the segment, put it that way.
The offering for the 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 is blessedly simple, typically for the brand, and so there’s just one AWD trim on offer, and do just the one powertrain. It features two 160-kW motors over front and back axles for a total of 320 kW, with output set as 429 hp and 516 lb-ft, which are very solid numbers indeed for a compact SUV. Official range for Canada is given as 383 km, about average for the segment but it doesn’t reset the bar or anything.
Easy to sum this up: everything you could think of is probably here. Of note, we have Driver Attention Warning, Lane following Assist, advanced rear occupant alerts, remote parking assist, and the new Standard Highway Driving Assist II, which now includes lane change assist function. In other words, the car can do more and more of the work if you want it to. The Electrified GV70 has a vehicle-to-load function, meaning you can use the vehicle’s battery to power other devices.
Initial acceleration and passing power are both impressive, the latter helped by that Boost button on the steering wheel. The extra kick is impossible to miss, and you may be tempted to make like those lab rats that can’t stop pushing the button that tickles pleasure points in their brain. Even if you resist, honestly, this SUV’s powertrain is overflowing with power.
