Genesis has outlined the pricing and specification for its new Electrified GV70 SUV.
The Mercedes EQC rival joins the Korean luxury brand’s growing line-up, sitting alongside the Electrified G80 saloon and recently launched GV60 hatchback.
Prices start at £64,405 for the Electrified GV70, which is offered in one 'Sport' trim level.
Using a twin-motor arrangement, the all-wheel-drive SUV has a maximum power output of 435PS and 700Nm. It gives the car a 0-62mph acceleration time of 4.2 seconds.
The Electrified GV70 is equipped with a 77.4kWh battery, enabling an estimated range of 283 miles (WLTP).
Rapid charging capability of 350kW enables the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes.
The electric GV70 is also equipped with vehicle-to-load functionality, allowing users to power an external appliance from the car’s battery.
As standard, the Electrified GV70 is equipped with a high specification that includes a widescreen 14.5-inch infotainment display, Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview, powered leather seats and LED mood lighting.
A range of option packages allow for further personalisation, each with a theme of technology, luxury or versatility. Included among these extras are advanced driver aids, including the semi-autonomous Highway Driving Assistant II (HDA II) and Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA). Also available are the Ergo Motion seats with massage function and the high-fidelity Lexicon sound system with Active Noise Control-Road (ANC-R) system.
Revealing the car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Dominique Boesch, managing director for Genesis Motor Europe, said: “We are delighted to unveil Electrified GV70 the very first time in Europe at the world-famous Goodwood Festival of Speed. Featuring our cutting edge electrical architecture and focus on luxurious sustainability, it represents another big step in our commitment to deliver an all-electric line-up of vehicles by 2025.
“As with our other SUV models, it retains exceptional versatility and usability, as well as unrivalled comfort and driving pleasure. As the third new electric car from Genesis to be launched in Europe in under a year, Electrified GV70 is further evidence of the brand’s bold ambitions for the region”.
The electric GV70 is the first Genesis model to feature the SUV-specific e-Terrain Mode, which enables a stable driving experience in various environments.
Pre-orders are being accepted now, with the first cars expected to arrive in October.
Genesis launched in the UK last year with a unique VIP-style service offering that includes a Genesis Personal Assistant and five years of inclusive servicing and support.
