I Drive The Electric Genesis GV70 For The First Time! A Great Value For This Much Quality

I really like this thing! The pricing is reasonable for what you get, but the final verdict will have to wait until we finish some of our testing. To me, the range and charging curve are two things we have to figure out ASAP! Thanks for watching and more to come…

Former e-tron owner here. I own an Electrified GV70 in germany. It's a really great und fantastic car.

You compare it to a Q8 or iX, but it's more a Q4 or iX3 competitor. And compared to those, interior ans overall quality is outstanding

Kyle: "this is just a quick, first impression, the weather is poor, our batteries are low, it's not going to be a long video" - proceeds to release a 46min+ video 😂😂 Thanks for the great camera skills! 😊

Perceived luxury? This is absolutely real luxury and is just as nice, if not nicer, than equivalent german and Japanese competition. Obviously its not as nice as an S-Class or something of that caliber but calling this not real luxury is kinda hilarious

Got my GV70 electrified mid March in UK. I love it and it fits into the buyer market just as you say. For most it is super nice - not quite as nice as a equivalent spec’d German rivals but you really have to look. The performance and tech (for me) make up for it. Also the fact that no one knows what it is and it looks like an ICE vehicle is great! I can tell you that driving it in comfort mode ‘sensibly’ I get an average of 3.1 to 3.2KW per mile which in reality equates to around 235miles. This is mixed roads and traffic. Take it on the highway for a full charge run then this drops to about 3.0 at 70mm (no ac or heating just fan - driver only). So not a range monster but good enough for me with fast charging and 98% charging at home. So glad you reviewed this - love the channel and have been waiting to see your view on this car for ages! 😂

I pick mine up Wednesday!

The fact that all this quality starts at 43k for non electric is the incredible part!!

In Australia, the electrified GV70 is nearly double the price of the ICE version. No wonder Tesla is dominating EV sales the world over, it seems most other manufacturers want a massive premium for their EV drivetrains.

65k version is well equipped subtract 3750 tax credit and 3 years free charging brings the GV70E down to mid 50's. Great SUV and so much better than Tesla Y other than the charging network. As an owner of an i4 m50 I am impressed.

The GV70 Electric is my favorite EV that I’ve driven from a value standpoint. You don’t miss out on much in the base $66k version. I did like the E-Tron I rented but as Kyle mentioned it’s $80-90k with options.

Good thing kyle doesn't design cars, everything would be at least 6 figures!! lol!!

Around my neck of the woods ALL Genesis have a 5k markup.... $78k is a very lofty price for this car...

Once again great job Kyle and the Kia Hyundai platform is as usual amazing.

Genesis offers all kinds of interior colors and interesting color combos, this white interior is just one of the available options.

Trunk release button is integrated in the wiper bracket FYI.

Calling it garbage plastic is pretty extreme. It's nowhere near that. The quality, tolerances and fit & finish in the Genesis products are very good. Using your standards, that'd make the German VW ID.4 rotten spoiled rubbish. The Audi e-tron isn't that much better, especially for the money. Genesis actually does more things better than Audi with their e-tron.

Kyle, when I looked at the GV60 and GV70, the buttons, toggles, and panels you say are plastic seemed to me to be made from an aluminum alloy. Why do you think they are plastic and not metal? Has Genesis confirmed your opinion about the "plastic" materials, or are they instead using a lightweight aluminum alloy?

I hope you guys take Alyssa's e-tron to California for the Q8 drive.

Thank you to Alyssa for comparing it her etron!
