Overall Observations
The Electrified GV70 luxury midsize SUV is a real head-turner—
sleek and sophisticated in its design. New for 2023, it's the
EV version of the gasoline-powered GV70 and, except for the
drivetrain, it shares virtually all of its exterior and interior features.
The Electrified GV70 is driven by dual electric motors, good
for 429 hp total. The drivetrain is strong and smooth, with a
10-second boost feature that can break the tires loose when
fully applied. Overall, the GV70 delivers excellent handling,
relaxed drivability, and a comfortable ride, although the steering
feels a bit light and disconnected. All-wheel drive is standard.
The Electrified GV70's interior is exceptionally stylish and
classy, with upmarket materials and excellent fit and finish. A
complete suite of advanced safety features is standard, including
Highway Driving Assist, which keeps the vehicle at a set speed,
a set distance from the car ahead, and centered in its lane.
The Electrified GV70 comes with a fast-charging system
that allows its battery to be charged from 10% to 80% in less
than 20 minutes. That's a good thing, because one of its few
downsides is a relatively limited range, an EPA-estimated
236 miles. The fuel-economy rating is good, however, at 91
MPGe. The only other noteworthy shortcoming is limited
rear headroom, due to a low roofline and ride height.
