An electrified G80 was my very first electric vehicle experience, during a last minute rental upgrade in LA about a year ago. We did the same frantic circle around the vehicle a couple times until we realized where the charge port was - only thanks to my wife who had to Google it. So sneaky!
great and beautiful, I have driven it in the Canadian winter at -40 degrees and it gives me a range of 380 kilometers, super and super powerful, definitely an excellent EV SUV option worth what it costs, I recommend it
The Prestige package also adds other things which may be important to some buyers: heated steering wheel, HUD, Nappa leather, active noise canceling, and rear side window shades. Also of note is that for the U.S. market, this car is made in the U.S., but currently does not meet content standards for the tax rebate, though that may still apply to a lease.
Great review - but the Model Y is not even remotely in the same class as the GV70. If we're looking at a "standard" or "premium" EVs instead of Luxury, which are much cheaper, there are other options, including directly from Hyundai/Kia. And they too all have more range.
I agree 100%. I have a GV70 prestige, and I owned a Model Y and it's a different animal. The Model Y is more of an appliance. The GV70 feels ultra premium compared to the Y. I do believe the the Y is probably are "better", or more advanced car in the design. Tesla has always been ahead all the other manufactures as far as technology, but I feel in the next years that will change due to Tesla's open designs.
When starting the car, I believe it wants at least one full stop to ensure the brakes are working. My Ioniq won't let me enable Auto Hold, until I do so. I imagine the same applies for i-Pedal
Being a 4 time Hyundai owner, Genesis has really come a long way in a short time. In terms of EV comparison, Genesis is the King of luxury EV’S. I was almost sold on leasing a Model Y ( Juniper) in late fall, but now I’m not so sure. I’m going to test drive the GV70 before deciding.
Love that it looks so much like the gas powered model. The GV70 is one of the best looking SUVs. I live in Florida...good luck finding a place to charge it 🤔 Thanks for the review...as usual....well done👍
As of April 2024,Genesis has a 13 month lease this month for the ELECTRIFIED models. Per Genesis offers website, Advanced trim of the gv70 Ev is 499/ month, 3999 down for 10k miles. 😮 I got 9500 cash back ("EV Lease Bonus") for the 13 months gv70 lease, now there is a 17500 cash back for the 36 month gv70 lease, cutting down another 100 LESS monthly compared to what I got. The Gv60 advanced is 469, gv60 Rwd is 379 (same 3999 down) but only max 11000 EV Lease Bonus from Genesis. .....OR ... .... Wait 1 year and you can get 10 % increase in battery capacity and EV range without any increase in weight in the gv60, gv70 or IONIQ5.
Great! However, does the car do well in very cold weather. That’s the only way I can buy an electric car. My 2019 Ford Edge has a range of almost 400 miles. I think I would just get the gas version of this car… if I could afford it. 😊 Genesis does make a beautiful car.
Have you ever gone 400 miles in your car without stopping for gas or bathroom or food? This max range comparison doesn't make sense because people almost never go from full to empty without stopping for any reason. A more realistic driving range is 2-3 hours of driving and stop for a break. Which can be done in most current EVs.
@@th003g actually, I do drive about 350 miles, if not more, without gassing up again. Also, the cold weather doesn’t effect my range, so for those two reasons, I can’t buy any kind of electric vehicle. Also, where I live there aren’t many charging stations and since I have a very medically fragile child (He has SMA type 1, like Lou Gehrig’s disease) I can’t wait to charge a car if his oxygen is depleting. Electric vehicles are great, if you have a regular life. Unfortunately, we don’t. They just aren’t practical if you constantly have a potential emergency 24 hours a day. I appreciate the input, though. Stay safe.
@thestonetable 350 miles nonstop, no breaks? Cold weather affects everyone's range, you just don't feel it as much due to the availability of gas stations.
@@th003g I live 320 miles from the nearest hospital, so yes… I usually go 350 or more without a break cause time sometimes is essential. If I had an electric car in the cold, that range of 230, or a bit more, would not be sufficient to get my son help while my wife is working on him to keep him going in the back. We are looking to move, but prices these days, near the hospital are astronomical. So, we are thinking of trading in our car for something that has more range. Maybe a crew cab truck with over 400 miles range. We can’t afford to cut it close in case of a blizzard. That happen to us once. It was a bit dicey, to say the least.
@@thestonetable I'm an EV proponent, for people who can level 2 charge at home, and have use cases nothing like your exceptional situation. For you, I wouldn't recommend any EV with less than 700 miles of range, which basically means none of them. Tune in again in 5 years. Meanwhile, there's a nice 2.5T gas version of the GV70. But if you're that far from a hospital, a Genesis dealer is likely no closer, so service could also be problematic.
right now the used market on EV's is tragic, so if you want one of these, wait till winter in the north east, and buy it there, it will be way less expensive.. saw a model 3 for 16k a month ago.. which is brutal.
Let me preface this by saying I've never been in an accident in my seven years of driving. But does it really matter if you can't see over your shoulder because of the C Pillar? Does anyone really do that? I use my mirrors and back up camera. Plus a car like this comes with blind spot warnings. Funny review as always though. Enjoyed it. I look forward to this every Sunday.
Great vehicle, if you can find the one you want. The Prestige package is not available in my area which includes Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Cleveland... unless you want white exterior. There are lots of Advanced models available, and I can see why. With such a terrible radio and not even a heated steering wheel, they aren't moving any time soon. Genesis needs to add more interior colors other than black and white, like they do for the ICE. And change the steering wheel to something other than white, or issue white gloves to those buyers. They need to work on a better range battery and bring price down if they want to compete in this market.
Don’t know where you live but the range could be much better in warmer climates. We have a GV70 EV and we live in Canada. Our climate would be similar to Michigan and so far we have averaged 3.22 miles per kWh which gives an average range of 249 miles. This is after 10 months and a full winter of driving. Summer time driving is very close to 300 miles of range . It all depends on your driving style. Genesis is very humble on their range but I think it’s much better than you might expect. A luxurious gem.
thank you for your hard work and videos. Do us a favor, you have the most expensive and priceless cargo one could have in the world. Please look at the road more and everything else much less. Divided focus in my opinion is something we all need to do less of when driving.
Hey, Jamie. I appreciate the kind way you posed your comment. For background, I've reviewed cars on-camera for the past 17 years. Along the way I've had the opportunity to build car control skills in varied disciplines with top notch training in ice driving, rally, stunt driving, track racing, etc. Car control is one thing but communicating while driving is a separate special skill I've also honed through focused training and experience. Doing so with my family in the car is a responsibility I take seriously. To be clear, when you watch our videos you're only seeing the parts where I feel comfortable speaking. When the driving environment demands it, we pause our reviews. But that's the stuff that gets edited out.
I'd do a hybrid 1st before going electric. I don't think there's enough availability of chargers for people who drive in the middle of the country to get 100% buy-in for an electric vehicle
As a non-Mountain-Dweller, now that I've seen the Lucid Air Pure at basically the same price, I can't imagine buying this. Of course, both are more than I'm currently willing to pay for a car.
Evie’s eyes when she punched the accelerator. Just too good. Love the video guys. Thank you.

I love love love the gv70 in all variants. If I were to buy an ev it would be this but I’m still on team ice for the next decade

do you know a way to confirm these tax rebates. im getting the runaround from everyone.
@@TimSmith-db1iuthe manufacturer Genesis is offering to match the lack of the 7500 rebate with it's own 7500 reduction.

Happy Sunday! The i-pedal regen issue I think is because the battery is cold. I know Tesla has a toggle to use brakes if regen isn't available

Your daughter deserves her own mic now, she has some funny and interesting comments! 😅
Your comment joins several others suggesting we give her a mic. I think you might be right.

You will not be disappointed!
This is the perfect color combination for the GV70 Electrified 😍🔥🥵🤩
Love the video was in depth and answered all the questions a normal typical person has with the cup holders are rest etc thank u so much
Love that it looks so much like the gas powered model.
The GV70 is one of the best looking SUVs.
I live in Florida...good luck finding a place to charge it 🤔
Thanks for the review...as usual....well done👍
You nailed it. Access to quick and functional chargers is the big hurdle for EVs right now.
Have an electrified, also live in Florida there’s plenty of places to charge lol
I love the aluminum knobs, buttons and door opening handles.
Micah Get Kiddo a MiC!!!

Excellent review as always!
The white painted brake calipers look great
Traded in my GV80 for the GV70 electric. Hard to keep that thing under 100mph on the freeway. That baby likes to RUN

Are you able to charge at Tesla superchargers?
The rear 1/4 (C-pillar) area reminds me of the old Porsche 928. 🤔
Very fancy look! Great review!
are you located in the Sierra mountains of CA? Area looks so familiar to me.
Stunning car…great review!

There isn’t an electrified version of the G70. The G80 is the other Electrified model in their lineup

You mean G80? G70 is ICE only.
You are absolutetly correct. Eek. Thanks for catching my mixup!
@@MicahMuzioI got so excited. In a Stinger now and I would trade it for a G70 For electric.

In order to activate i-Paddle, your car needs to be in motion.
The issues I experienced activating i-Pedal occurred while the vehicle was in motion.
@@MicahMuzio Oh okay, was there an error message that was associated with this?
@@andychen7818 Not an error message per se. Just a message that i-Pedal was not available...with no clear indication why.

Definitely. The charging infrastructure needs to expand greatly if we're going to shift to EVs.
