- New cabin design, interface highlight interior changes
- GV70 Electrified gets a larger 84-kwh battery pack, range not yet confirmed
- New Terrain Mode, improvements to adaptive damping represent the mechanical updates
Genesis has revealed refreshed versions of its GV70 lineup for 2026, including a revamped cabin design and new interface.
2026 Genesis Electrified GV70 models get even more of an update, including a larger 84-kwh battery pack, more range, and the addition of a Tesla NACS charge port.
The Genesis GV70 is the brand’s top-selling model line, and Genesis has sold more than 85,000 of these models in North America, so it’s an especially important refresh.

Gasoline versions of the Genesis GV70 continue to be powered by either a 300-hp, 2.5-liter turbo-4 or a 375-hp, 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6, paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
Some gasoline GV70 models and all Electrified GV70s come with adaptive dampers, including a system that literally reads the road and adjusts accordingly. Now Genesis has added a logic that helps adjust front and rear damping quickly for acceleration and deceleration. A new Terrain Mode also brings specialized modes for sun, mud, and sand.
In the Electrified GV70, a dual-motor system produces 429 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, with a boost mode that provides 483 hp in 10-second bursts.
With 84 kwh, up from 77.4 kwh, the Electrified GV70 will get a significant boost in range over last year’s 236-mile EPA rating. And thanks to continued 800-volt fast-charging capability, it will likely allow a full charge in as little as 20 minutes—with a CCS adapter, as Tesla Superchargers don’t yet deliver those power levels.

Genesis does say, however, that adding NACS more than doubles the size of the DC fast-charging network available to Genesis EV drivers—for road trips and more. With the bigger battery, expect 10-80% charge times to increase slightly from the now-optimal 18 minutes (when using a CCS adapter).

The refresh follows what has already been introduced in revamped global GV70 versions. The center point of the revised interior is a new 27-inch OLED display that fully integrates both the instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment—and doesn’t forget about wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The rest of the dash design has been completely reworked and resculpted, while a different door-panel design, and reworked materials, surfaces, and lighting throughout give this model an entirely cleaner—but also warmer—look and feel.
While the exterior mostly carries over, gasoline models get a new grille design and pattern; new multi-lens array (MLA) headlights emphasize the twin horizontal lines of lighting in front, and both the skid plate area and front air intakes have been given a more chiseled look.

The 2026 Genesis GV70 models will arrive in the first half of 2025, and they’ll be “dual-sourced,” according to the brand, from its Alabama U.S. plant and one in South Korea.
