Not long ago, Genesis decided to drop off a brand-new Electrified GV70 for me to review — and, for the first time in a good long while, I was speechless. This is a stunning vehicle. The soft, compliant leather seats and visually artful interior beckon, the chassis pulses with pure electric power, and the commanding sightlines over the long, sculpted hood inspire. Honestly, if it weren’t for the stupid doors, I might never have let them take it back!, Genesis made a number of very smart choices.
That’s because Genesis designed the doors to go all the way down to the lower edge of the GV70’s body. In doing so, they make it easier to get in and out of the car without getting your dress pants dirty on a doorsill or rocker panel that’s exposed to the elements.In practice, it just means you can’t open the door without hitting a curb or catching the corner of the door on a curb or grass .
Note that these doors were a problem everywhere. In downtown Chicago, where the curbs are a bit higher than the suburban neighborhoods I usually traffic, I had to stop, let the wife and kids off,Which is too bad, because I genuinely loved driving the Genesis Electrified GV70. On the go, it is supremely capable, comfortable, and every inch a match for — if not more than a match for — anything else I’ve driven from Mercedes, Lexus, or Tesla. There are no squeaks. No rattles. Nothing untoward.

In it, we talk about the GV70’s sunroof, clever seating gimmicks, and more. Enjoy!I don't like paywalls. You don't like paywalls.
