Like its smaller sibling the GV60, the Genesis Electrified GV70 is an excellent EV that’s frustratingly difficult to buy in America. Dealerships in just 23 states offer the car, something that Genesis blames on ongoing supply shortages of vital EV components. If you can get your hands on one, it’s well worth considering –- with 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque on tap, it’ll leave some sports cars behind off the line, and its cabin is a refined, upscale affair that’s on par with Genesis’ gas-powered models.
In fact, the GV70 itself is available in ICE form, which is what gives the Electrified GV70 its slightly awkward name. From a distance, it’s hard to tell the difference between the gas-powered GV70 and the EV version, with the biggest giveaway being the large faux grille on the electric car. Press down the right part of that grille, and you’ll find a discreet cover for the charging port hidden in plain sight.
Like many of the best EVs, the appeal of the Electrified GV70 isn’t really that it’s electric but rather that it’s a great premium SUV that happens to be electric. Perhaps the biggest downside is its range, which at 236 miles, is okay but far from class-leading. Well, that and the fact you can’t buy the car at all in over half of the country.
