This electric SUV continues to be an eye-catching and refined all-round package in a crowded market, competing confidently with more established premium brands.
The GV70 has received a series of updates aimed at enhancing in-car user experience and refining its aesthetics
Changes include a massive widescreen display, which initially looks like a standard two-screen setup, but is actually one 27.0-inch OLED screen. Basically, it combines the main media screen with a driver's display under a single piece of glass.
The luxurious interior of the Genesis GV70 The graphics are crystal clear, and the system is easy to customise.
Another innovation is the addition of an optional UV-C sterilised box, which harnesses ultraviolet light to sterilise users' belongings.
Meanwhile, a new "Mood Curator" feature offers four distinct interior settings, complete with tailored music, an aroma diffuser, and modified ambient lighting.
The rear end of the GV70 Additionally, a new control panel for heating and ventilation has been introduced, which maintains a variety of physical buttons for ease of use.
A key upgrade to the GV70 lies in its move to become electric-only, now fitted with a larger 84kWh battery.
Genesis claims this can deliver a range of up to 298 miles on a single charge, although this is still less than many rivals.
However, when you do need to charge up the GV70, it's a staggeringly-quick process.
The front end of the GV70 That's because the car benefits from 800v-volt architecture, meaning it can charge at speeds of up to 350kW, making it one of the fastest-charging EVs.
If you use an ultra-rapid charger, it takes a mere 19 minutes to go from 10 to 80 per cent charge.
The GV70's dual-motor setup, delivering a potential 483bhp, offers a rapid zero to 60mph time of under five seconds.
It's worth noting that, normally, you'll have 429bhp to play with, but you can access the extra power when you hit the 'Boost' button on the steering wheel. It can be handy if a short burst of pace is needed, but doesn't do much for battery charge.
The rear seats of the GV70 The car is arguably most comfortable at more moderate speeds, where smoother rides and improved refinement can be appreciated. Indeed, it's a great motorway cruiser, offering excellent refinement and relaxation on longer journeys.
Since arriving in the UK in 2021, Genesis has continued to carve out a signature look for its vehicles, characterised by the imposing front grille.
The revamped design of the GV70 sees alterations such as repositioned indicators for better visibility, advanced Micro Lens Array headlights, and a redesigned front grille with a powered and heated charging port.
The model offers 13 colour options, enhancing its classic image with a range of greens and dark blues in particular.
While the car provides a 503-litre boot and comfortable rear seating, taller passengers may find the rear seats slightly cramped.
The car's range starts at just over £65,000, offering several standard features including a powered boot, wireless smartphone charging pad, and heated front seats and steering wheel.
An impressive feature is fingerprint recognition, which allows the car to be locked and unlocked at the touch of a pad on the pillar.
