Markham, Ontario: Genesis Motors Canada has unveiled the third fully-electric vehicle to join its lineup, the 2023 Electrified GV70. Continuing its commitment towards a more sustainable future with the brand planning a fully electric lineup by 2030, the second “Electrified” model will be available for sale in the first half of 2023.
The 77.4kWh battery found in Electrified GV70 is capable of rapid charging from 10-80% in just 18 minutes when utilizing 350kW (800V) DC fast charging. Charging rate and time estimate varies based on several factors, including current battery charge level, output of the charging unit, vehicle and battery settings and outside temperature. Powered by 160 kW electric motors in both the front and rear, total output is 320 kW (429 hp) and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. Engaging the Boost mode allows for a 10-second burst of 483 hp.
The GV70’s interior provides a strong sense of harmony by exhibiting the architectural philosophy of the “Beauty of Openness,” making use of elliptical, aerodynamic shapes that are purposeful and functional. The inspired, driver-centric layout features a floating centre console with jewelry inspired controls and slim wraparound vents that create a feeling of width and space. The Electrified version continues this tradition with distinctive interior treatments.
Unique visual characteristics of the Electrified model include the reverse G-Matrix grille which conceals the hidden charge port, front and rear skid plates, and a unique rear bumper.
