Electric GV70

[gerardmayne]

Congratulations! Post some photos when you have a chance. I've been bumped up to #118 from the original #176. It's like being a kid at Christmas. Lol

I think this car has been very well. Documented in YouTube videos. Here are a couple of snapshots particularly of the interior. I find the white finish to be very appealing. It is not an ultra bright white, although it looks that way in some of the videos I saw.

I'm kinda surprised there's so little discussion on this forum about the electric GV70. The GV60 forum seems reasonably active, but the more I think about it, the more I'm glad we waited and chose the 70 over the 60. As much as I have always liked Bang & Olufsen sound systems, it doesn't make up for a rear wiper!

Well my local Genesis dealer didn’t have any two weeks ago and has two in stock right now. That could be why you don’t hear much yet (not on anyone’s radar). I test drove the GV70 electric in base form this weekend. Very impressed and am seriously considering buying one. I’ve driven lots of EVs and the GV60 Performance was just about perfect but I just couldn’t warm up to the styling. The GV70 basically drives the same but with the more appealing styling (to me) of the GV70. I also prefer the interior of the GV70 to the GV60. On a side note, they have quite a few GV60s in stock so it seems that supply has caught up to demand (they were going for over sticker last summer.)

I am four days in with my GV70 E. To me it’s perfect. I like the shape, the size, the interior quality and the driving characteristics - just amazing. The adaptive cruise control and lane assist features work seamlessly. It’s fun to drive and very refined when it’s driving me. I also like the fact that it doesn’t scream EV like other models, including the GV60 seem to be designed to do. Enjoy your decision!

I'm with you guys. The GV60 just doesn't feel right somehow. From the somewhat odd looking steering wheel to the eclectic exterior design, it's just trying a bit too hard. I liked the way it drives of course, but I've always said I wouldn't buy an EV until they make them look like regular cars. I'm now actually thinking of trading in my GV80 as well, to get two electric GV70s.

Fun fact: The electric GV70 is 24% structurally stiffer than the ICE version.

GV60 is Genesis' take on the CUV "coupe" - think BMW X4/X6, Audi Q8, MB GLC/GLE coupe, Porsche Macan, Porsche Cayenne Coupe...

Of those, I like the looks of the Q8, Macan and GV60.

Of course, if what you really want is an SUV, then none of those (or the GV60) fits that bill. That's why we bought our GV60 - didn't want/need a traditional SUV.

I'm curious...does it have HDA 1 or HDA 2 included?

I think this is closer to what I imagine when I think about coupe-like SUVs....

The electrified GV70 has HDA2.

HD2. I haven’t use lane change assist yet, but everything else operates very can y smoothly. On you

Did they add back auto lane change in 2023? Last year the GV60 didn’t have the auto lane change due to the chip shortage. I’ve used it in the Ioniq 5 and it’s pretty slick.

Yes, HDA2 includes that.

I really don't think these will be that popular. I mean I want one, but that's just because I hate how the iX looks. It's like a 20k surcharge over a basically identical combustion model. Almost iX or EQE SUV pricing. Genesis is just not up there as a brand, especially considering the horrible Hyundai buying experience. Dealers here (in the US) still want a 5k ADM, even the one who has 5 incoming and no reservations yet. I could be wrong of course, but this is not hot like the Mach-E or the Lyriq. We'll see I guess.

Probably wouldn't hurt to at least take one for a test drive before you come to a conclusion.

Don't feed the troll....

 

[potatoducks]

I'm not a troll lmao. I said I'm interested in buying one. Why else would I be here? Nobody is trolling the Genesis forums. I've test driven the combustion model and have a reservation at a dealership committed to selling at MSRP. They say they'll have it by the end of the year but who knows. If they do, they do. If they don't, they don't. I just can't pay 5k ADM and still feel good about it, and if you don't feel good about buying a luxury car then what's the point?

 

[Zcd1]

Interesting way of introducing yourself to the forum. Having participated in MANY automotive forums over the years, your post is EXACTLY what a troll would say...in order to stir up some sh*t.

No ADM at many dealers, so check around

EVERY EV version of every vehicle is more expensive than its ICE counterpart, if there is one.

 

[potatoducks]

I like the 360 camera and I'm a sucker for HUD's.

Nobody is interested in stirring anything up. Saying I don't think this model will be super popular is like the least aggressive troll move ever. Your sensitivity is turned up way too high.

 

[SebringSilver]

I secretly hope the cars I buy aren't super popular. Lol

I can't stand driving down the road and seeing my own car right next to me. I don't know how Tesla drivers manage! I drove the GV80 this morning and there was a white GV80 right behind me. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Haha
