Advanced AWD includes an entire suite of available safety and advanced driver assistance systems and is comprehensively equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and navigation system with a 14.5-inch HD screen, 20-inch alloy wheels, panoramic sunroof, leather seatings, heated and ventilated seats, vehicle-to-load charging and more.

The Electrified GV70 is available at select Genesis retailers in 15 states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Design

The signature design elements of the award-winning GV70 continue to take shape the 2023 Electrified GV70’s exterior. The Crest Grille has evolved into an aerodynamic crest that features an inverted G-Matrix pattern and incorporates a hidden EV charging port, creating a minimalist yet sophisticated look. The minimalist horizontal shape of the rear bumper completes the Electrified GV70’s evolved profile. A simplified, tailpipefree skid plate emphasizes the SUV’s electric nature, while the iconic and progressive Two-Line headlamps put the finishing touch on the Electrified GV70 with Genesis’ signature Two Lines architecture.

Completing the elegant and eye-catching look, the proprietary Genesis paint exudes richness and depth that sets it apart from all other cars on the road. The Electrified GV70 is available at launch in Vik Black, Savile Silver, Makalu Gray, and Makalu Gray Matte.

The interior boasts a driverfocused design, offering an intuitive and dynamic driving experience. A variety of materials, including woven wool, tricot, and suede fabrics have been used to furnish the model. The Electrified GV70 is available with a Glacier White or Obsidian Black interior, with perforated leather seating. The Prestige package adds a twotone Glacier White option with copper piping and a refined quilting pattern in the Nappa leather seating.

Performance

Elegant and athletic, the Electrified GV70 offers powerful performance paired with standard allwheel drive (AWD) to satisfy every type of driver. The powerful dual electric motors produce up to 320 kW, equivalent to 429 HP, while the addition of 350kW rapid charging enables the 77.4 kWh battery to charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 18 minutes, or more than 60 miles in five minutes under optimal conditions.

Additionally, the 400V/800V multirapid charging system allows owners to utilize various forms of charging infrastructure. The multi-rapid charging system enables fast and stable charging by raising the voltage supplied by typical chargers from 400V to 800V, and owners can use both 400V and 800V charging infrastructure without the need for an additional converter.

The Electrified GV70 offers standard Boost Mode, allowing the driver to experience exhilarating performance with 483 HP of output for 10 seconds, making the driving experience more dynamic.

The Disconnector Actuator System (DAS) automatically connects or disconnects the motor and drive shaft depending on driving conditions. This enables seamless switch- ing between 2WD and AWD, ultimately helping reduce unnecessary power loss and increasing driving efficiency. Estimated range for a fully charged Electrified GV70 is up to 236 miles AER.

The Electrified GV70 driving experience is further enhanced with Smart Regenerative Braking System 2.0, which regenerates energy through the braking system based on driving habits, real-time navigation, and road conditions. In driving mode, the Intelligent Pedal (i-Pedal) allows the driver to accelerate, decelerate, and slowly to a stop using just the accelerator pedal.

For added driving comfort, the Electrified GV70 also comes equipped with Active Noise Control-Road (ANCGV70 Please Turn to Page 20
