Meet the updated 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70, now with more range and an NACS port

The refreshed 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70 was introduced at the LA Auto Show on Wednesday, now equipped with an NACS charging port to access Tesla Superchargers. In addition to gaining more driving range, here’s what the new model includes.

After introducing the GV70 three years ago, the SUV is already the most popular Genesis vehicle in North America.

Last March, Genesis launched the all-electric Electrified GV70 in the US. The electric SUV was the first Hyundai Motor Group electric vehicle made in the US after production started in Alabama last February.

Less than two years later, it’s already due for an update. The 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70 gains more range and sleek new styling. It even comes with an NACS port for charging at Tesla Superchargers.

Genesis North America COO Claudia Márquez said the newly designed Electrified GV70 offers “all of the utility and interior refinement of a great SUV” without sacrificing the signature Genesis drive.

The front bumper features a redesigned G-Matrix Crest Grille and microlens array (MLA) headlamps, as well as the unmistakable Genesis two-line headlamps. It also features bigger air intakes, adding to its already sporty look.

Genesis added newly designed 19″ and 21″ wheel options. Meanwhile, the rear turn signals have been updated to resemble the front two-line headlamp design.

The updated electric SUV’s interior features a new 27″ OLED infotainment and driver display screen. Genesis also improved the vehicle’s voice commands.

One of the most significant changes is the added NACS port upfront so drivers can charge at Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network. The 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70 will have access to over 36,000 NACS and CCS DC fast chargers, double the number available to current EV drivers.

Powered by a larger 84 kWh battery (up from 77.4 kWh), the updated 2026 model will also offer more range. Although Genesis didn’t provide specific range numbers, it’s expected to add only a few miles, similar to the new Hyundai IONIQ 5.

The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5, with an 84 kWh battery, has a range of up to 318 miles, up from 303 previously. The current 2025 Genesis GV70’s range is 236 miles, but the new model is expected to reach close to 250 miles.

The 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70 will begin arriving at dealerships in the first half of 2025. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to launch.

With the new 2026 models arriving soon, Genesis is offering up to $12,750 off the 2025 Electrified GV70 with lease bonuses. If you’re ready to check out the luxury electric SUV for yourself, you can use our link to find deals on the Genesis GV70 at a dealer near you.
