Genesis Australia is launching the updated GV70 Electrified for 2025, bringing in a suite of comfort and safety upgrades, a larger battery, and a sharper design, all offered in a single flagship variant.
Now positioned as the Signature Performance grade, the new GV70 electric SUV produces 320kW from its dual-motor setup and draws energy from an 84kWh high-density battery (up from 77.4kWh). The official WLTP driving range is rated at up to 462km (up from 445km), with 350kW fast-charging capability meaning a 10–80 per cent top up can be completed in just 19 minutes.
Genesis has introduced a refreshed look outside, with two-line micro lens array headlights, a reverse G-Matrix grille exclusive to the EV, and new 20-inch alloy wheels. Revised bumpers and an aerodynamic rear spoiler help give it a bolder stance while also enhancing airflow.
Inside, the 2025 update introduces a massive 27-inch OLED display that spans the instrument cluster and infotainment area, now with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Drivers also get head-up display, fingerprint-based driver profiles, natural voice commands, and new luxury touches like a UV-C sanitising console, an in-car fragrance system, and a Bang & Olufsen 16-speaker audio setup.
New for this update is a “Mood Curator” function that adjusts ambient settings like lighting, massage, scent, and sound to suit the driver’s selected vibe, including presets such as Delight and Comfort.
On the safety front, the GV70 debuts a wide array of second-generation assistance systems. These include Highway Driving Assist 2 with lane change support, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2, Lane Following Assist 2, and an updated Remote Smart Parking Assist that handles perpendicular, parallel, and diagonal spaces.
Comfort has been enhanced, with updated suspension bushings and recalibrated dampers aimed at improving ride quality. Crosswind stabilisation is also included to help keep the vehicle composed in challenging weather.
The 2025 Electrified GV70 is on sale now through Genesis retail outlets across Australia, priced from $132,800 (excluding on-road costs).
