ELECTRIFY AND CHILL - 2023 GENESIS ELECTRIFIED GV70

At Genesis, electrification is starting to mean athleticism. Take the Electrified GV70, for instance. From a driver's perspective, the battery-powered GV70 is as capable as its internal-combustion counterparts, and it's even capable of giving us the giggles.

In the change from an engine to a two-motor electric powertrain, this GV70 gains a floor-mounted battery pack that lowers the center of gravity, adding a measure of buttoned-down security to an already sporty chassis.

The brake pedal isn't always reassuring, though, a byproduct of poor tuning of the blended friction and regenerative braking system, and torque steer tugs at the wheel during hard launches.
