Test driving one of the most luxurious brands, Genesis, with the electrified midsize SUV model GV70 for five passengers, with a starting MSRP price of $65K.  This all-electric SUV competes well with German luxury cars.

The GV70 electrified was the first athletic and urban midsize SUV made by Genesis, with a beautiful design merging athletic elegance and streamlined sophistication.

The Genesis SUV lineup includes only three SUVs, the smaller member of the family, the GV60 is only available as an all-electric. Then the mid-size GV70 SUV that I am test driving is available as an all-electric or with a gasoline engine, and finally, the larger GV80 SUV is only available with a gasoline engine.

The electrified GV70 is very attractive with smooth parabolic design lines creating a natural flow. The exterior design is also enhanced by the two-line LED headlamps and taillamps, resulting in a clean and elegant athletic look and silhouette.

The interior design of the GV70 is very clean, sober, and elegant, and some nice flavor is added with the interior ambient lighting that can be customized with several color options.

There is nothing you are going to miss when driving a Genesis vehicle, perhaps still not as famous as other luxury brands but for sure quality and luxury are at the same level of the top of the line car brands.

This luxury SUV provides a dynamic driving experience and exceptional comfort while incorporating the latest technologies and advanced safety features you can find on any premium auto-maker brand.
