Read aloud:
With the Electrified GV70, Hyundai's luxury brand Genesis is presenting its third electric vehicle. We tested the Korean luxury SUV.
Things are moving quickly at Genesis. Only last year, 2022, Hyundai's-Nobel daughter here in Europe, meanwhile the Korean an almost a complete vehicle range from the ground up. The still quite young brand presents, in addition to some Premium models with Internal combustion engine, now even her third electric car.
So after the Mid-size SUV GV60 as well as the upscale Electrified G80 luxury sedan now the Electrified GV70. The goals are clearly defined. genesis plans to launch only purely electric models from 2025 and by no later than October 2030, XNUMX. all offered models will also switch to pure electric operation.
For the Electrified GV70 uses genesis im Hyundai-Group construction kit. But in contrast to the smaller GV60 as well as the technically identical models with Hyundai ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6 is based on Electrified GV70 However, it is not based on the pure electric platform (E-GMP). specially modified architecture, because it GV70 as well as Luxury sedan G80 already available with conventional petrol and diesel engines.
However, the Electrified GV70 the same ultra-fast 800-volt charging technology, which is a power plug on a 350 kW super charger within only 18 minutes The 77,4 kWh lithium-ion batteries are then 20 to 80 percent refilled. This means that the Electrified GV70 To the very fast loading Electric vehicles on the market. With a fully filled storage depot, the electrified GV70 ideally a range of up to 455 kilometers. Practical: The loading flap is located at the front between the two double LED headlights in the fully closed radiator grilleThis eliminates the annoying reversing maneuvering required, for example, GV60 for a short charging break. The smaller SUV brother is surpassed by the Electrified GV70 with an external length of around 4,72 meters by exactly 20 centimeters.

The EUR 58.471 (all prices net) expensive GV70 electric car exclusively with all-wheel drive, where both electric motors produce a total output of 360 kW (490 hp). significantly more than a 210 kW (286 hp) powerful, but also just as expensive BMW iX3. Up to 235 km/h The Korean is fast and sprints in only 4,8 seconds from zero to one hundred. Whoever genesis credentials for Boost button on the lower steering wheel rim, manages the same sprint in just 4,2 seconds, while the Electrified GV70 a massive torque of 700 Nm pushes massively forward.
Although the Boost function for only maximum ten seconds ready, but otherwise the 2,3-ton luxury SUV extremely powerful. With such a particularly sporty pace can the WLTP consumption of an average of 19,2 kilowatt hours, then it will be much more than 25 kWh, that gnaw at the range. Therefore, the driver now takes the accelerator pedal back significantly, which comfortable character some Korean cruisers much more accommodating. Also good: The electronically controlled chassis adapts to the Camera optics anticipates the circumstances, so the genesis over potholes and bumps very calmly. And thanks to the active driving noise suppression The Electrified GV70 is one of the most particularly quiet electric vehicles.
The space for Driver and passenger fällt uppig out, at the back it goes in Genesis SUV However, there is nothing tight here either, you sit comfortably and feels comfortable. In general, in our test car with finest leather very solid The rest of the of materials made of attractive plastics and aluminum decor looks harmonious, and in addition, the Korean luxury liner everything as very carefully and precisely The digital instrument cluster in front of the driver has a modern look and is state-of-the-art, as is the 14,5-inch navigation infotainment system.

For example, the finer nappa leather, the powerful sound Lexicon sound system, or perhaps the Vehicle-to-Load package, where the genesis shares the electricity with others, for example to charge an e-bike or power other electrical devices. And that even the Heated seats ahead extra charge, we would have had a Nobel Koreans like that Genesis Electrified GV70 not expected. Especially since he was Starting price of just over 58.000 euros isn't exactly cheap. We think that's a real shame.
