Electrified GV70 hitting the market...thoughts?

I was actually waiting to put a deposit down for a GV70e since I absolutely love the way the GV70 looks on the outside. However, after I started looking at the GV60 closer, I started to appreciate the interior layout more than the GV70. I'm not a fan of the iPad-like placement of the main screen compared to the GV60's screen being integrated with the main dash. Just personal preference but I can't deny that the GV70 is gorgeous!

I test drove the base $66k GV70e this weekend. It basically drives the same as the GV60 Performance in terms of responsiveness, ride quality and steering feel. It does feel a little bigger, and a smidge heavier, so it’s not as easy to maneuver in tight spots. I thought the GV60 Performance was just about perfect but I just couldn’t warm up to the styling personally. The GV70e addresses that IMO in a vehicle that basically drives just as well. I do like the more “bespoke” looking interior of the GV70 even though the infotainment screen placement is compromised if you use the touch screen functionality. I feel like the value proposition currently is better in the base GV70e with 483hp at $66k minus the $7500 tax credit which applies for now (could change.) I’m considering buying one.

For wife and I the GV60 is perfect size. A bit big really, the GV70 would be entirely too big and is heavier as others have mentioned. The interior is nice but I think I will wait till Gewnesis releases something along the lines of a smallish sedan EV before I upgrade my wife's Elantra Hybrid Limited.

I really wanted this car but didn't want to wait so I got the gv60. Now I love the info screen directly behind the steering wheel (Mainly the map mode and widgets) and you don't get that in the 70. You just get a fancy digital cluster and the other screen on the dash is too far forward. Very pretty inside though.
