Genesis adds Electrified GV70 to range

IN ANOTHER EV ANNOUNCEMENT, Genesis has announced the addition of the Electrified GV70 (that’s their name for it, not our descriptor) to its local offerings.

Electrified GV70 provides a spacious and refined, zero-emission range halo model, sitting above GV70 3.5T AWD SPORT with Luxury Pack.

Electrified GV70 features a twin motor AWD system that delivers a peak output of 360kW (with Boost Mode) and an instantaneous 700Nm of torque, giving it the capability for an impressive 4.2-second 0-100km/h acceleration.

A 77.4kWh power battery offers 445km of long-distance touring range and can charge from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 18 minutes when plugged into a 350kW DC fast charger.

Electrified GV70 builds on its conventionally powered counterpart’s progressive style and spacious interior to bring new appeal, with its outstanding all-electric performance and an array of EV-exclusive technologies.

Electrified GV70 is offered in one highly equipped ‘Luxury Package’ trim grade, in alignment with Genesis’ brand promise to provide vehicles that want for nothing.

Genesis Motor’s vision for electrification has now given rise to three new EVs this year, with GV60, Electrified G80 and Electrified GV70 all now available in Australia.

Connal Yan, Head of Genesis Motors Australia, said that alternative powertrains are at the core of the Genesis product development strategy, with the goal of offering eco-friendly mobility solutions in every segment of the portfolio.

“We are thrilled to launch Electrified GV70 in Australia and bring our tally to three new all-electric models this year,” Mr. Yan said.

“The arrival of Electrified GV70, along with GV60 and Electrified G80, highlights Genesis Motor’s momentum in developing electrified vehicles, and illustrates our continuing commitment to creating a sustainable motoring future,” he said.
