CAR magazine lives with a Genesis GV70 Electrified, the electric SUV from the premium Korean brand. This is our final report on seven months of a long-term test
The GV70 Electrified slipped out of our lives as seamlessly as it slipped in. We didn’t actually get to say goodbye, the car having been retrieved by Genesis to investigate and fix some niggles, and not returning before our six months with it was up.
Genesis doesn’t yet have the brand image or execution to rival the German premium brands. And although this car shares its battery, motors and control systems with the brilliant Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniqs, it isn’t built on the same all-electric E-GMP platform. Instead those excellent components are shoe-horned into the bodyshell of the conventional combustion-powered GV70, giving none of the design or packaging advantages of a bespoke EV.
Our car’s series of minor niggles, while not necessarily representative of Genesis build quality as a whole, compared poorly with the Swiss-watch construction of a Lexus, the most obvious rival.
