Even though Genesis is getting its own vehicle built on the advanced E-GMP dedicated electric vehicle platform, the GV60, the brand will also offer battery-powered versions of some of its internal combustion-engined vehicles among which is the G80 Electrified (technically Genesis' first production electric vehicle), which in spite of its slightly unclear and uninspired name, is completely electric.
It has a pair of electric motors, one for each axle, which together produce a combined 272 kW (365 bhp / 370 PS), 516 pound-feet (700 Nm), and in ideal conditions, it can sprint to 100 km/h from standstill in 4.9 seconds (0 - 60 mph in around 4.7 seconds). The power delivery is rear-baised, so the vehicle should handle a lot like a traditional sports sedan.
WLTP range is expected to fall just short of 310 miles (500 km) with the vehicle’s 87.2 kWh battery pack.
