My 2024 Electrified GV70: Luxury EV Done Right
Just wanted to share some thoughts on my 2024 Genesis Electrified GV70 Premium after several months of ownership.
This thing is an absolute joy to drive. The ride is smooth, quiet, and seriously comfortable—exactly what I hoped for in a luxury EV. The cabin feels roomy and well thought-out, and I love that Genesis didn’t go full touchscreen; having real buttons for basic controls is such a win. The heads-up display is super useful, and the ambient lighting gets compliments all the time (it really pops at night).
I’ve taken it on a few longer trips—Portland to Seattle more than once, plus a few beach runs—and range anxiety hasn’t been an issue. In the summer, I’ve squeezed out up to 265 miles on a charge, which beats expectations. Charging is quick and easy to find along the way. The Boost button is pure fun—it turns the car into a rocket for those quick passes.
That said, it’s not all perfect. The Genesis app is about 80% reliable and pretty slow sometimes. I wish I could remote start without going through it. The recall process through Genesis global support was a headache (took three days just to get a tow), though the dealership itself was top-notch once they had the car. Also, I still can’t figure out the remote parking assist—it’s not as intuitive as it should be.
My only other nitpicks: the hands-on-wheel alerts feel unnecessary for such a polished assisted driving system, and the proximity trunk feature could be smarter (waiting through 5 beeps while holding heavy stuff isn’t ideal).
Overall though, I absolutely love this SUV. It nails comfort, performance, and everyday usability with just a few tech rough spots to iron out. It’s quick, classy, and makes every trip feel relaxed and effortless.
