The 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70 takes an electric approach to luxury comfort and stand-out style. It’s quicker than the already impressive gas-powered GV70 thanks to instantaneous torque. Let’s see how the upscale Electrified GV70 is enhancing the daily drives of luxury seekers.

Genesis GV70 Compact Luxury SUV

Unrivaled Speed 

The Electrified GV70 uses two electric motors that produce a combined 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Activating Boost Mode with the button on your steering wheel raises power to 483 horsepower for 10 seconds. That enables a 0-60 mph time of only 3.8 seconds, which is almost a full second faster than the gas-powered version.

The standard 84-kWh battery pack is an improvement over the previous version, enabling a higher driving range of 263 miles. The charging system operates on an 800V architecture, allowing for high-speed DC fast charging. Using a Level 3 charger, the vehicle can replenish 70% charge in under 20 minutes.

Upscale Interior

The Electrified GV70 comes fully loaded. The cabin offers Nappa leather seats, soft-touch materials, and a suede headliner. The driver’s seat is 16-way power-adjustable with four-way lumbar support, and thigh bolsters. Heating and ventilation are standard for both front seats, and rear outboard seats include heating as well, as does the steering wheel. Ambient lighting can be personalized with numerous color options and brightness levels.

Drivers will have no trouble carrying around a full load. The flat floor provides ample legroom for rear passengers, and there’s 28.7 cubic feet of storage space in the rear. Cargo capacity doubles when the rear seats are folded, and there’s also a small frunk for compact items.

Stylish Good Looks

The Electrified GV70’s distinctive cross-hatch grille makes the vehicle stand out, no matter where you go. The charging port is cleverly concealed on the front passenger side, so the design is never interrupted. The cover opens electronically and is heated to prevent freezing in cold temperatures.

The headlamps are LED and contain two signature horizontal lines. All models ride on 20-inch wheels and all-season tires. Aerodynamics are optimized through underbody panels, door handles that retract automatically, and wheel air curtains.

Upgraded Infotainment System

For 2026, all models come with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as Genesis Connected Services. These features are accessible through the massive 27-inch OLED display that combines the instrument cluster and infotainment system into one seamless unit. Other standard features include a navigation system and a Wi-Fi hotspot. A head-up display is optional for the 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. Also optional is a 14-speaker Lexicon audio system.

The 2026 Electrified GV70 offers drivers strong driving dynamics, a refined interior, modern technology, and devilish good looks. Get started on your test drive at Genesis of Ontario in Ontario, CA.
