The 2025 Genesis Electrified GV70 has arrived, and it’s more than just an update — it’s a confident evolution of one of Australia’s most refined mid-size electric SUVs. Now available in a single, highly equipped Signature Performance variant, the Electrified GV70 blends luxury, innovation and dynamic performance into a package designed for discerning private buyers and corporate executives.
Powerful New Drivetrain, Extended Range
Under the bonnet (or more accurately, beneath the sleek body), the 2025 Electrified GV70 features an upgraded high-density 84kWh battery offering a WLTP range of 462km — a significant improvement for real-world usability. Dual electric motors deliver a combined 320kW and 700Nm (with boost mode), enabling exhilarating performance and effortless all-wheel drive traction.
Thanks to 350kW ultra-rapid DC charging capability, the GV70 can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 19 minutes — ideal for busy drivers.
Luxury Interior, Now Even Smarter
Inside, the GV70 feels unmistakably high-end. A striking new 27-inch OLED display integrates the instrument cluster and infotainment system with crisp clarity. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, natural voice recognition, and is complemented by a Bang & Olufsen 16-speaker audio system.
New highlights for 2025 include:
- Fingerprint authentication start
- UV-C sanitising console
- Mood Curator system: synchronising fragrance, lighting, sound and massage
- Digital Centre Mirror for clearer rear vision
In terms of comfort, both front seats are 18-way power adjustable, heated and ventilated, with integrated memory functions. Rear passengers also enjoy heated seating and manual sunshades.
Advanced Safety That Thinks Ahead
Genesis continues to push boundaries with an updated suite of safety and driver-assist technologies:
- Highway Driving Assist 2 with lane-change assist
- Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist 2 with junction and evasive steering support
- Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 for full auto-park functions
- Parking Collision Avoidance – Forward/Side/Reverse
- Blind Spot View Monitor integrated into the digital cluster
Lane Following Assist 2 and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist are standard, with hands-on detection reminding drivers to stay engaged. Safety for every passenger is rounded out with 8 airbags including front and rear thorax protection.
Looks That Electrify
The exterior gets a refresh with Genesis’ reverse G-Matrix grille, Micro Lens Array LED headlights, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a new rear spoiler design that boosts aerodynamic efficiency. Buyers can choose from a broad palette of new exterior and interior colour combinations, including matte paint finishes (optional at $2,000 MLP).
Pricing and Ownership Value
The 2025 Genesis Electrified GV70 Signature Performance AWD is available now from $132,800 MLP (Manufacturer’s List Price). Matte paint is the only option, priced at $2,000.
It’s important to note that the Genesis Electrified GV70 does not qualify for the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemption for electric vehicles, which only applies to EVs priced below the $89,332 threshold (as of 2025). This places the GV70 in a premium position targeted at executive drivers and luxury fleet programs, rather than tax-optimised novated lease buyers.
Ownership Experience – The Genesis Difference
Genesis offers one of the most comprehensive ownership programs in the market:
- 5 years free scheduled servicing (75,000km)
- 5-year unlimited kilometre warranty
- 8-year/160,000km EV battery warranty
- 5 years of Genesis Concierge Service and complimentary courtesy vehicle
- 5 years of Chargefox public charging subscription
- 10 years roadside assistance (if serviced through Genesis)
The Genesis Connected Services platform also comes with a complimentary 5-year subscription, giving drivers smartphone-enabled control of climate, locks, windows, remote diagnostics and more.
A Flagship for a Zero-Emission Future
While the price places it above FBT-exempt territory, the 2025 Electrified GV70 is an aspirational zero-emission option for fleets seeking prestige and sustainability. The technology, safety features and luxury appointments make it well suited to executive fleets and directors’ vehicles that must project brand leadership and environmental responsibility.
