2026 Genesis Electrified GV70

The Genesis Electrified GV70 gets a slight refresh for 2026. The small luxury electric SUV should offer improved range thanks to a new 84-kWh battery, and the GV70 now comes with a NACS charging port, meaning it can charge at an ample number of Tesla Superchargers. That impressive change to its charging infrastructure is augmented by some other minor refreshing. The Electrified GV70 has a new look inside and out, though you'll be forgiven for not noticing a significant difference. Genesis has not revealed pricing information, but we don't expect a massive change from last year.

What's under the Electrified GV70's hood?

We know the Electrified GV70 is getting a bigger 84-kW battery, up from 77.4 kW. The existing dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup is good for 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.

How's the Electrified GV70's interior?

The biggest change inside the Electrified GV70 is a massive 27-inch screen that combines the gauge cluster and infotainment display. That's in addition to improved voice commands. We've previously praised the GV70's voice controls and Genesis says the new kit will be even more impressive. 

The Electrified GV70 comes NACS-ready

The Electrified GV70 comes equipped with a NACS charging port, so you won't need an adapter at Tesla Superchargers. You will, however, need to use an adapter for CCS charging stations, and an adapter comes with the vehicle. The charging port itself also gets a light upgrade — Genesis says a heating element has been added, making it easier to charge the GV70 in cold weather. 

Competitors to consider

The Genesis Electrified GV70 faces more competition than ever. The Acura ZDX debuted for 2024, as did the Porsche Macan EV. That's in addition to rivals like the popular Tesla Model Y and the stylish Cadillac Lyriq. We don't know how much the GV70's range has improved, but if that's a primary concern, you should check out the Model Y.

The Electrified GV70 is an impressive small luxury electric SUV. The minor changes on offer for 2026 help its cause, but if you liked the GV70 before, we're confident you'll dig it now too.
