GV70 Electric Vehicle Pre-Order Now Open… Price 73.32 Million Won

Terrain Mode Applies Driving Force Distribution According to Road Conditions
77.4 kWh Single Charge Enables Up to 400 km Driving
Eligible for National and Local Government Subsidies

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Hyundai Motor Company will begin accepting pre-orders for the high-end brand Genesis GV70 electrified model starting on the 24th. As a derivative model of the mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) GV70, this is the third Genesis electric vehicle following the G80 and GV60.

Unlike internal combustion engines that had separate two-wheel drive options, only an all-wheel drive model is available. Motors producing a maximum output of 160 kW and maximum torque of 350 Nm are applied to both the front and rear, resulting in a combined maximum output of 320 kW and maximum torque of 700 Nm. In boost mode, which temporarily increases output, it reaches 360 kW and accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds (according to the company’s own measurements).

The battery capacity is 77.4 kWh, allowing a maximum driving range of 400 km on a single charge. With a 350 kW ultra-fast charger, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes. The combined power consumption efficiency is 4.6 km/kWh (based on 19-inch wheels). The front wheels feature a disconnect drive system that can separate the motor and drive shaft depending on driving conditions, allowing easy switching between two-wheel and all-wheel drive modes.

For the first time in the Genesis brand, an e-Terrain mode is included. This system uses the motors to distribute driving force according to road surface conditions such as snow, sand, or mud, helping to maintain stable driving on rough terrain. The integrated electric booster provides a high level of regenerative braking, contributing to extended driving range. The company explains that the braking force is stable thanks to the standard front monoblock brakes. Brake feel can also be adjusted according to the driver’s preference.

Compared to the existing internal combustion model, body rigidity has been increased by 24%, while lightweight materials have been applied and parts reduced to optimize the body design. A center airbag for the front seats is included as standard. Active Noise Control technology (ANC-R) is applied, which uses sensors and microphones to measure road noise in real time and emits sound waves of the opposite phase through speakers to reduce interior noise. An electronically controlled suspension that detects road surface information in advance using a front camera and navigation is standard. Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control (eDTVC), which distributes torque to each wheel during cornering, is also applied.

The 400V/800V multi-fast charging system allows the use of various charging infrastructures without a separate converter. Indoor and outdoor Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functions that supply general power externally are standard. The i-Pedal mode, which automatically adjusts regenerative braking based on front traffic flow and driver deceleration patterns and allows deceleration and stopping using only the accelerator pedal, is also available.

The interior features a lowered center tunnel and minimized vehicle floor thickness. The height of the rear electric drive system is minimized to secure second-row space comparable to internal combustion engine models. The trunk capacity is 503 liters, and the frunk is 22 liters. Recycled PET fabric is applied to the vehicle ceiling, and natural leather seats containing wool fabric are used. The exterior front grille features an electric vehicle-exclusive pattern. The charging port is located at the top of the grille and is not visible when closed. Wheels come in two sizes: 19 and 20 inches. Exterior colors include a total of 11 options such as Cardiff Green, Carbon Metal, and Uyuni White, while interior colors include three options: Pine Grove Two-tone, Glacier White Two-tone, and Black Mono.

The price, reflecting electric vehicle tax benefits and based on a 3.5% individual consumption tax rate, is 73.32 million KRW. The national subsidy is approximately 3.5 million KRW, and local government subsidies vary by region. Pre-orders start today, with the launch scheduled for next month. The vehicle will be displayed at Genesis showrooms in Hanam, Suji, and Anseong, where test drive programs will also be offered.
