2024 Genesis eGV70 Review Electrified GV70 Explained
The electric revolution is here, and at the forefront stands the 2024 Genesis eGV70. This midsize SUV outperforms the majority of its electric counterparts, delivering both power and luxury in abundance.
In this review, we'll delve into the powertrain, driving range, fast-charging capabilities, and other essential aspects to help you determine if the 2024 Genesis Electrified GV70 suits your lifestyle.
Award-Winning Legacy
Earning the title of SUV of the Year is a prestigious accolade, especially when it comes from the discerning experts at Motor Trend. This recognition marked the debut year of the Genesis GV70 SUV in the market. This year the GV70 beat all other new vehicles to earn the J.D. Power Engineering Award.
Car and Driver gives it an impressive rating of 9 out of 10, along with the coveted Editors’ Choice award. Edmunds describes the model as "a high performer across the board."
The GV70 lineup includes the 2.0T model, boasting a 300-horsepower turbo-four engine, and the 3.3T variant with a twin-turbo V6 delivering 375 horsepower. Now, in the 2024 lineup, the eGV70 emerges as the pinnacle performer.
Equipped with a dual-electric powertrain, the electrified Genesis churns out a remarkable 483 horsepower. With electric motors placed at both the front and rear axles, it efficiently distributes its robust 516 lb-ft of torque where it matters most.
This setup ensures all-wheel drive for versatile all-weather capability, and it's tuned to provide an exhilarating on-road driving experience. As a delightful bonus, Car and Driver confirms that this electric SUV retains the same allure as its non-electric counterpart.
Impressive Range and Rapid Charging
The eGV70 doesn't just excel in power; it's also adept at charging and maintaining a full charge. With an electric range extending to a generous 249 miles, it ensures you have the freedom to roam.
This compact SUV is a reliable companion for your journeys, ready to take you wherever you desire. It confidently faces competitors like the BMW3 and Lexus RZ in the electric SUV arena.
Fast-charging capabilities mean the Genesis EV can go from 10 percent to 80 percent charge in approximately 18 minutes.
Cutting-Edge Technology
Genesis leads the way in automotive technology, and it's evident in the eGV70. The Digital Key replaces the traditional Smart Key, functioning as an app on your phone and other smart devices. It's simple to program, allowing you to start the vehicle and set the air conditioning in motion before venturing out on a scorching summer day in Phoenix, AZ.
For effortless entry, the brand introduces fingerprint authentication, a glimpse into the future of vehicle security.
The eGV70 boasts smart dash technology, featuring a generous 14.5-inch touchscreen. The advanced navigation system helps you maximize your driving range, while a lengthy digital screen behind the steering wheel provides comprehensive instrumentation.
SurroundView cameras offer a complete view of the Genesis EV’s surroundings. A new blind-spot monitor camera provides a clear view of what's behind the vehicle, free from typical obstructions like pillars or rear passengers.
Safety and Crash Avoidance
Safety seems assured with awards like the 2023 Top Safety Pick-Plus from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This indicates that the SUV has better protective features and good crash protections.
Genesis SUVs have advanced collision avoidance features such as a forward collision watch, an emergency autobrake, and an emergency steering assist. Other crash-avoidance elements include junction turning and pedestrian safety.
With a blind spot monitor to help drivers decide when it’s safe to change lanes, there’s less chance of causing a side collision. Likewise, a lane departure system helps assist with maintaining the safest trajectory
Adaptive cruise control and lane centering are two steps toward autonomous driving. The Highway Driving Assist takes these tools and offers to do more of the driver’s job.
Electrified GV70 vs. Luxury Competitors
Within the Genesis lineup, three electric choices are available. While the 2024 Genesis Electrified G70 is an excellent midsize sedan, the eGV70 boasts a longer wheelbase, standard all-wheel drive, and more space for passengers and their cargo.
The 2024 Genesis GV60 is exclusively an electric SUV, albeit smaller and less powerful than the GV70. However, the performance edition matches the eGV70 in horsepower.
Comparing it to other brands, the Tesla Model Y is an obvious competitor. Still, the electric GV70 comes packed with more amenities and offers an abundance of power, capability, and luxury to give the Tesla a run for its money.
Going up against the Volvo C40 Recharge, the eGV70 shines. The Genesis EV can claim 23 extra miles of driving range and 82 additional horsepower.
In terms of spaciousness, the electrified GV70 offers an impressive 37.2 inches of second-row legroom and 28.9 cubic feet of cargo space, surpassing rivals like the Lexus NX.
