The Electrified GV70 is built on the conventional GV70's platform rather than using an EV-specific one.
Still, it's one of the nicest EVs you can buy, with vigorous acceleration, capable handling, a comfortable ride, and a quiet and pampering cabin.
Unfortunately, its driving range is on the short side--it got just a modest 220 miles in our 70 mph highway range test.
Home charging of the 77.4-kWh battery is on the quick side, thanks to a 10.9-kW onboard charger, and its 240-kW max acceptance rate at public DC fast chargers is also commendable.
The front charging port can be awkward to access, though.
The dual-motor drive system gives the GV70 EV standard AWD.
Some controls are unintuitive and distracting, such as the infotainment controller knob that looks almost identical to the gear-selector dial.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
A large 27-inch dual driver and center screen became standard in the 2026 model year.
The Electrified GV70 is the third EV in the Genesis lineup.
Like the Electrified G80, it's built on an existing model's platform rather than being a standalone EV model.
In our testing, it achieved 220 miles of range and is equipped with a 77.4 kWh battery.
The dual-motor drive system gives the SUV standard all-wheel drive.
The Electrified GV70 handles similarly to the regular GV70, which proved agile in our testing -- although you do notice the extra weight on the electric model.
Like the Electric G80, the charging port is in the front and concealed when not in use.
The cabin looks to be just as lavishly furnished, but also includes the unintuitive and distracting controls, including the rotary gear selector.
It comes with comprehensive active safety features.
