EV Motor, Range, Battery, 0-60Mph
All-wheel drive will be standard on the Electrified GV70, and it will use two motors, one on each axle, to achieve that. Maximum horsepower is a claimed 483 horsepower. Genesis says the Electrified GV70 will be capable of hitting 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, seemingly quicker than the gassed-up twin.
Genesis hasn’t yet released information about the Model’s battery pack or driving range—although expecting unit is about 300 miles per charge—but it has announced that the SUV will get a very fast onboard charger. The system is capable of charging at 350 kW, and Genesis says that’s quick enough to get the battery from 10 to 80 percent charged in less than 20 minutes at a public charging station.
Pricing
Although Genesis is keeping a lot behind its back, it did revealed some of the things such as the variants and the tags on them, probably preparing the public for what to expect. They go like Base for $65,000 (est), Advanced for $75,000 (est), and lastly Prestige for $85,000 (est).
