I have a feeling that GV80 screen might make its way into the GV70, then again that might not happen until a full redesign...
No good pictures yet! Weather in Vancouver has been terrible this whole month. The real trick is to get a shot of both matte cars together in a vaguely artistic composition.I have a feeling that GV80 screen might make its way into the GV70, then again that might not happen until a full redesign...
Oh and any luck getting decent weather for shots of that matte white paint?
Good competitor indeed! I've read there's a weird split of the 800V architecture in two 400V batteries when it's not charging at a charger that can provide full capacity, which penalizes charging speeds (On anything between 50-150KW/h).
I'm sure these will become a common sight once they start selling them. The eGV70 will almost certainly be more rare.Good competitor indeed!

On the pros side it's probably have even better driving dynamics. Price-wise I'd be surprised if it wasn't a big upcharge compared to the eGV70. Design-wise it's a draw, even the GV70 kind of stole that car's butt. I wouldn't be surprised if the eGV70 would end up more of a rarity on the roads considering the Macan is the high volume seller that allows Porsche to continue building 911's. Wether or not exclusivity is a pro or con is anybody's preference...
Yep. I figured it was the alternative to the GV60P but I was suspicious that it wouldn't be released timely. Now I hear that they will start releasing them sometime this year. I suspect it will be a great crossover.
It'll be a drastic upcharge. I've seen reports of it starting at around $85k. Once optioned-out like the top-tier eGV70, it'll easily be over $100k as Porsche is notorious for over-charging for options. But I do love driving them. My friend has a 911 Turbo S.

Proof of this:
Yes. I am surprised that Audi and Porsche are doing this now. Other than missing the Porsche mark, the Audi alternative is a much better buy. In the ICE world, Audi and Porsche did not share vehicles so closely. They did the same thing with the Taycan and the GT.
Steve, but isn't the Touareg, Q7, Cayenne, Bentayga, and even the Urus all sharing the same underpinnings? Similarly the ICE Macan and Q5 are essentially the same car underneath, if I recall correctly.
Yes...they share a common platform (as, for example, the GV60 does with the Ionic 6/Kia EV) but otherwise there are major differentiators. Not so much, at least so far, with the EVs. I suspect that, over time, this will change.
Do you have a link to the configurator? I don't see the electric Macan on the website yet.
Yes, I was going to get a Macan. But after seeing the price after adding the options I wanted and comparing it to the GV70, the Genesis was the far better value per dollar. And is just as beautiful. They look quite similar to me and I like the Genesis interior better.
Agreed, and it's actually more exclusive than a Porshe, with perhaps less of an associated social stigma because it's just not very well know as opposed to German brands.
That was my thought as well. The major downside to the GV60 is range and I have been driving all over the Valley for a year, charge each night to 80%, and haven't come close to running out of electrons (and I drive it like I stole it). If I want to do a long trip, and the fast chargers are finally up to speed on the interstates, the fast charge capability of the GV60 minimizes the negative impact of the range. If the fast chargers are still not up to speed, then I can rent an ICE vehicle and the total cost of owning a GV60P and renting an occasional ICE vehicle will still be way less than a Macan.

I do like the GV60, it has an original silhouette and that's more and more rare these days. Coming from a RAV4 with a cavernous trunk (38cf), the GV70 was already a sizeable drop in storage with 28cf, and I just don't see how I could have crammed all the family stuff going to the cottage with the GV60's 24cf trunk. If it wasn't for that it would have been on my list too, it even has some features absent from the GV70 (Facial recognition, crystal ball shifter).
