Genesis GV70 Electrified review: Almost perfect, premium electric SUV

We’re already big fans of the Genesis GV70 Electrified. More interesting to drive than German rivals like the Mercedes EQE, it’s an effortlessly appealing all-electric SUV with a loyal base of satisfied owners. For 2025, Genesis has addressed a few concerns with the GV70, notably by fitting a bigger 84kWh battery (up from 77kWh), giving the styling a nip and tuck, and upping the kit count with some really interesting tech on board.

It's almost the perfect, premium electric SUV, but one thing still holds it back. Although the range is improved, 298 miles from the bigger battery just doesn’t seem enough these days. The range will be fine for most UK drivers, but the fact that the GV70 hovers below the 300 mile mark while rivals are going farther may well put some buyers off – which would be a shame.
