Genesis Electrified GV70 prioritises comfort with generous space for every occupant, while the comfort of a high seating position paired with dynamic driving creates a genuine sense of connection to the car. An uncluttered approach to the layout amplifies the expansive feeling, with a striking balance between simplicity and strength. Wide, uncomplicated shapes, like the slim air vents and LED backlit trim inserts combine to create an ambience that is both luxurious and dynamic.

As an option on the Comfort Seat Pack, both driver and passenger can set up the perfect seating position thanks to 18-way adjustment and individual air cells that utilise a variety of settings to ensure maximum comfort and posture. Ergo Motion is also available as an option with a massage function for both driver and passenger which has been accredited by Germany's Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. (Campaign for Healthier Backs) for its ergonomic design, this seat minimises fatigue and ensures exceptional comfort.

Passenger well-being is further enhanced through the use of multi-way adjustable powered seats, while heating is available for both seating rows, and those in the front can be ventilated. Soft materials cover every surface, from the inside of the door handles to leather effect trim for the dashboard.

Leather trim is standard which includes a wool cover for a total of 30% of the seat area, while quilted Nappa leather tanned with sustainable, bio-processed dye is available as an option. Both finishes are available in Obsidian Black or two contrasting optional colours - Pine Groves and Ocean waves, or Glacier White (a BEV exclusive) and Ocean Waves.

Throughout Electrified GV70 various interior components have been created with eco-friendly and recycled materials. For instance, the standard Tricot basic and optional suede headlining have been made using yarn made by processing recycled plastic bottles and waste nets.

Other thoughtful design features on Electrified GV70 include the door seals, which wrap underneath the car to protect the inside sill from road grime and so prevent stains or dirt being transferred to clothing when getting in or out. Furthermore, this feature also effectively lowers the sill height and widens the foot access for easier and safer entry and exit, particularly for children.

Lighting has also been carefully considered in Electrified GV70, with customisable ambient backlit finish for the doors and dash that creates a sense of warmth and cutting-edge sophistication, while during the day an expansive optional panoramic glass roof allows even more natural light to flood in.

POWERFUL AND ASSURED IN ALL CONDITIONS

From the outset Electrified GV70 has been developed as a world-class fully electric SUV to meet the needs of the most demanding drivers, with a particular focus on delivering agility and comfort. With cutting-edge electrical architecture, sophisticated chassis technology, a low centre of gravity and an exceptionally strong structure, Electrified GV70 delivers a confidence-inspiring range and exceptional comfort and refinement, while retaining Genesis' trademark entertaining and assured handling as well as sure-footed confidence off the beaten track.

"One of the challenges with all-new Electrified GV70 was to ensure a consistently stable and accurate drive even under constantly changing driving and road conditions. Yet thanks to its strong and stiff construction and advanced drivetrain technology, all-new Electrified GV70 embodies the composure and comfort synonymous with Genesis, as well as an unrivalled dynamic edge" Tyrone Johnson, Director, Vehicle Development at Genesis Brand

Forming the basis of Electrified GV70 is a carefully adapted version of Genesis' sophisticated all-wheel drive platform. Developed to be as strong and light as possible, Electrified GV70's body makes extensive use of aluminium, helping reduce the body parts by up to 41kg compared to a steel equivalent, helping to increase both efficiency and performance.

Like other Genesis models, the structure has been enhanced to provide even greater tensile strength, thanks in part to the extensive use of hot stamped parts in crucial areas such as the A- and B-pillars and floor crossmembers. This process delivers the highest possible strength through hot forming and quenching processes.

For Electrified GV70 bespoke aluminium die-cast assemblies are used at the front and rear, including the suspension towers. In addition, light and strong extruded aluminium is used for the sills and the rear bulkhead, while the front seat crossmember is formed from Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). The result is that Electrified GV70's structure is 24% stiffer than the petrol and diesel models.

Genesis Electrified GV70 utlilizes a MacPherson strut set-up at the front and a multi-link at the rear. Both benefited from a bespoke reinforced subframe that features a unique four-point mounting for the electric motor, plus a re-positioned anti-roll bar. In addition, the use of hydro mount bushes (springs with integrated hydraulic damping) for some of the suspension components and subframes has further helped eliminate unwanted noises, helping engineers tune create an interior that delivers exceptional refinement.

Overall, engineers have created a light and strong structure that results in superb torsional rigidity and the highest level of dynamic driving performance, all while maintaining the comfort, stability and safety that is emblematic of the Genesis brand.

Mounted low between the front and rear axles is Electrified GV70's 77.4 kWh lithium ion battery, its location helping provide optimal weight distribution and a low centre of gravity. This delivers both improved cornering performance and driving stability at high speed. Battery safety is ensured through a strong support structure that features energy load paths to protect the lithium ion pack, plus energy-absorbent sections of the body and chassis.

Premium refinement and comfort also come as standard, with Electrified GV70 featuring the brand's state-of-the-art Active Road Noise Cancellation (ARNC) to eliminate noise from the road while refinement is further enhanced by the triple-sealed door surrounds and enhanced sound insulation.

In addition, the Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview, delivers excellent ride quality by using information supplied through a facing front camera to automatically ensure the adaptive dampers are precisely calibrated to cope with any upcoming obstacles, such as speed bumps and potholes.

Exceptional electric powertrain

Genesis Electrified GV70 is designed and engineered to deliver a strong emotional connection, both visually and from behind the wheel. Delivering on this promise, Electrified GV70 is available exclusively with a powerful dual motor, all-wheel drive (AWD) set-up that delivers max 360 kW (490PS / 483BHP) for refined and effortless progress.

"With these new electric powertrains powering our latest all-electric Genesis models, we take another important step forward in the rapid evolution of Genesis. We also show that we are not satisfied to merely keep pace with our competition, but instead choose to lead from the front." Tyrone Johnson, Director, Vehicle Development at Genesis Brand

This set-up uses a pair of 180 kW electric motors - one driving the front wheels and the other the rears -for AWD traction and safety. Like all Genesis BEV models, Electrified GV70 marries driving range and performance with luxury and comfort. By accentuating the key dynamic advantages of an electrified powertrain, Electrified GV70 further enhances the brand's commitment to exceptional comfort and refinement. A full 180 kW of power on each motor is possible with the Boost Button which delivers an additional 20 kW to each motor, bringing max power up from 320 kW to 360 kW. When the Boost Button is not being used, Electrified GV70 uses 160 kW of power on each of the dual motors.

Both motors feature the brand's new power electric (PE) system, which consists of the motor itself, a single-speed reduction gear transmission and an inverter. These three components are integrated into a compact module, which ensures exceptional performance as well as efficiencies in both space and weight.

Each motor also contains a bespoke rotor and ball bearing design that allows it to spin at up to 19,000rpm, which is an increase of to 70% compared to existing motors. The use of hairpin winding technology also allows for a 20% higher drawing rate than in similar motors.

As a result, Electrified GV70 delivers exceptional performance, with instant and powerful acceleration that's delivered in a seamless and near-silent surge. Yet this power can be accessed with a level of accuracy unheard of in an internal combustion engine car, creating a sense of confidence and calm to go hand-in-hand with the thrilling acceleration. Electrified GV70 has an exceptional WLTP range of 283 miles.

Enhancing the driving excitement of Electrified GV70 is a thrilling Boost Mode that helps give the car an even more dynamic and luxurious feel on the road. Accessed using a button on the steering wheel, this feature instantly unleashes an additional 40 kW for around 10 seconds, taking power to an incredible 360 kW (490 PS / 483 BHP) for even faster and safer overtaking or quicker acceleration from a standing start, with the 0-62 mph / 0-100 km/h time dropping from 4.8 seconds to a rapid 4.2 seconds.

Electrified GV70 is also the latest Genesis model to feature advanced Active Sound Design (e-ASD) first seen on GV60. By monitoring the vehicle's speed, the position of the accelerator pedal and the selected driving mode, this state-of-art feature delivers various virtual driving sounds through the speakers of the audio system.

Three sounds are available, with each capable of being customised by the driver to suit their preferences in terms of detailed volume control and pedal response. The 'Futuristic' setting symbolises the direction of future mobility, while the soft and sporty 'G-Engine' sound aims to evoke the noise and character of an internal combustion engine. Finally, the 'E-Motor' sound reimagines Electrified GV70's authentic electric motor sounds.

On top of its dynamic performance, Electrified GV70 also delivers the refined and luxurious driving experience that has become a Genesis hallmark. Benefitting from a range of Innovative and thoughtful features, Electrified GV70 enhances driving pleasure, comfort and efficiency whatever the road conditions.

As an example, Electrified GV70 benefits from the same Genesis Disconnector Actuator System (DAS) already seen on the GV60 and Electrified G80. This sophisticated system is able to quickly and smoothly connect or disconnect the front motor from the drive wheels, allowing Electrified GV70 to switch smoothly and freely between rear-wheel drive (RWD) and AWD depending on the demands being made on the system, minimising power loss and ensuring efficient driving.

This system works in partnership with the Smart Regeneration System 2.0, which helps maximise energy regeneration by automatically adjusting the regenerative braking capability according to traffic data and navigation map information. By doing this, the set-up more effectively channels energy that would otherwise be lost back into the battery, helping towards Electrified GV70's 283 mile range.

Further enhancing efficiency of Electrified GV70 is the i-Pedal (Intelligent Pedal) mode that allows the driver to accelerate, decelerate, and stop using just the accelerator pedal alone. Not only does the i-Pedal encourage a more intuitive and relaxing way to drive, it boosts efficiency by maximising the amount of energy that is recaptured when slowing, feeding it back into the battery. Drivers can adjust the braking force to suit their preference by selecting from three different modes using the wheel-mounted paddle-shifters.

Particular attention has been paid to the EPAS (Electronic Power Assisted Steering), with careful calibration resulting in exceptionally natural response and weighting. The steering allows confidence-inspiring stability at high speeds without compromising Electrified GV70's connected feel and agility through corners.

Electrified GV70 also utilises the brand's advanced EDTVC (Electronically-assisted Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control), which can subtly brake an inside wheel when the car is cornering. This system helps improve agility and reduce understeer by directing greater torque to the outside wheels, helping more effectively rotate Electrified GV70 into a bend, enhancing driver confidence and control.

Exceptional braking performance comes as standard thanks to the addition of the IEB (Integrated Electric Booster) that offers a more progressive braking performance, lower noise levels and increased stability compared to a traditional vacuum system. Furthermore, Electrified GV70 benefits from larger diameter discs front and rear compared, while the fronts employ powerful four-pot calipers for even more confidence-inspiring stopping power.

Drive Mode and eTerrain Mode

The availability of three drive modes (Eco, Comfort and Sport) allows the driver to tailor their experience behind the wheel to suit both their mood and the road ahead. At the touch of a button each setting carefully retunes the steering and damper response, as well as powertrain attributes such as throttle feedback to either enhance efficiency, promote a more relaxed environment or prime the car for dynamic driving.

Electrified GV70 is also the first Genesis electric vehicle to feature SUV-specific e-TERRAIN technology. This helps to make driving more stable, giving you confidence whatever the road conditions. Offering three choices of terrain - mud, sand, and snow - it adapts the sophisticated powertrain technology to ensure Electrified GV70 can handle even the toughest challenges.
