Trims, Powertrain, and Performance
While the 2024 Genesis Electrified GV70 departs from the traditional trim level model, it offers two distinct packages: Advanced and Prestige. Both feature a double-motor electric architecture producing 429 hp and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. These strapping motors are powered by a 77.4 kWh battery pack, which also enables 236 miles of single-charge travel (which is equivalent to 98 MPGe city/83 MPGe highway). Using a DC fast charger, the Electrified GV70 will go from a 10 to 80 percent charge in a mere 18 minutes. This considerable power source also allows the Electrified GV70 to tow up to 3,500 pounds.
Attention-Getting Amenities
The Advanced Package provides a wealth of high-end standard features. On the exterior, it gets a panoramic sunroof, a hands-free liftgate, LED headlights, power-folding side mirrors, pre-wiring for a trailer, and an electronically controlled suspension. It’s also compatible with Digital Key, allowing you to unlock and start the vehicle straight from your smartphone. On the inside, the Advanced has leather upholstery, push-button ignition, power-adjustable front seats that are both heated and ventilated, a deluxe driver’s seat (with position memory, power bolsters, and cushion extensions), tri-zone automatic climate control, a power tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, and ambient cabin lighting. Its technology highlights are a cutting-edge fingerprint authentication system, an 8-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless phone charging, a vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging system (for powering external devices), and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink.
For those seeking an even higher expression of luxury, the Prestige Package provides top-quality Nappa leather upholstery, a synthetic-leather upper instrument panel, a microfiber suede headliner, a 12.3-inch 3-D digital gauge cluster, a head-up display, active noise control, a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seats, and manual rear-door sunshades.
