Road Test: 2024 Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD Prestige

Clean Fleet Report

Charging is also through powerful motor regeneration that when coasting or braking converts kinetic energy into electric energy and returns it to the battery. Because of this we don’t address issues such as long-term reliability or total cost of ownership. Our road tests are based on this one-week drive of a new vehicle.
