The Electrified GV70 Advanced AWD comes with an MSRP of $66,975 and includes class-leading standard equipment and technologies, such as a 77.4 kWh battery, an electronically controlled suspension w/ Road Preview, and a set of 20-inch alloy wheels, among others. Additionally, safety is never an option, and the Electrified GV70 Advanced includes the entire suite of available safety and advanced driver assistance systems.
The Electrified GV70 Prestige AWD, on the other hand, has an MSRP of $73,775, and it comes with additional features such as Nappa leather seating surfaces, a leatherette-wrapped upper instrument panel, microfiber suede headliner, head-up display, a 3D instrument cluster, premium audio, active noise control, heated second-row seats, and manual rear door shades.
Genesis has committed that all new models launched will be all-electric starting in 2025, and that its entire vehicle lineup will be electric by 2030. Moreover, the Korean marque is working to achieve carbon neutrality across its operations by 2035.
