Genesis is upgrading its best-selling EV in the US with new features. The 2025 Genesis Electrifed GV70 is gaining Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as the all-electric luxury SUV continues winning over US buyers.
The Electrified GV70 is the third fully electric genesis model revealed in 2021. Genesis launched the electric SUV in the US in March 2023, joining the GV60 and Electrified G80.
The Electrified GV70 was the first Genesis EV assembled in the US (and outside Korea) at its Montgomery, Alabama plant. It was a “significant movement” for the luxury brand. Since launching, Genesis has more than doubled the number of states where its EVs are sold.
As of May 2024, Genesis sold EVs across 37 states, up from 15 last March. Through the first half of 2024, the Electrified GV70 is Genesis’ top-selling EV.
According to the latest Kelley Blue Book data, Genesis Electrified GV70 sales are up 256% in the first half of 2024. With 1,875 models sold, the GV70 EV is outpacing the GV60 (1,226) and G80 (140).
Genesis revealed new 2025 Model Year changes, including for the G70, GV70, and Electrified GV70.
