So, why is the updated Genesis Electrified GV70 the premium EV you need?
The UK business fleet landscape is shifting at a rapid pace. According to recent automotive data, nearly half of all business-leased vehicles on British roads are now battery electric!
Executive drivers and corporate fleet managers are rushing to make the switch, driven by a desire for cutting-edge cabin tech, ultra-silent motorway refinement, and the massive financial relief of low Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) company car tax rates.
As a forward-thinking independent fleet provider, we are incredibly excited about what the Genesis Electrified GV70 represents for the EV market, and why it is an absolute game-changer for our corporate clients.
Standing Out in the Corporate Car Park
Genesis (the luxury standalone arm of the Hyundai Motor Group) has quietly been building some of the most advanced electric hardware on the planet. The newly updated Electrified GV70 takes everything that made the original luxury SUV a success and refines it following thousands of kilometres of rigorous European road testing.
Visually, it certainly doesn’t blend into the background. It features a stunning, sharp Korean design language, complete with high-tech Micro Lens Array LED headlights and an elegant, heated front charging port hidden seamlessly within the iconic crest grille.
For our business clients, this vehicle offers a distinct corporate presence. It looks sophisticated, premium, and unique, making it the perfect statement vehicle for directors and senior managers (if that appeals to you!)
A 27-Inch Panoramic Mobile Office
Step inside, and the cabin updates immediately show why this car is built for long-distance corporate commuting. The dashboard is dominated by a breathtaking 27-inch panoramic integrated display screen that houses both the driver data and an intuitive infotainment hub.
Because business doesn’t stop when you hit the tarmac, the on-board Genesis Connected Services seamlessly link with your work calendars, pushing meeting destinations straight to the satellite navigation system. Add in a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system and sustainably sourced, ultra-premium leather interior materials, and it becomes the ultimate mobile office to decompress between client visits.
Next-Generation 800V Charging: No More Motorway Delays
At YVR, we understand that “range anxiety” is often just “charging speed anxiety” in disguise. This is where Genesis absolutely beats its closest market rivals.
While the industry standard sits at a slower 400-volt setup, the Electrified GV70 utilises an advanced 800-volt electrical architecture. Armed with an upgraded 84kWh battery pack, the car delivers a highly usable 298 real-world range miles (WLTP) on a single charge.
When you do need to stop on a long cross-country business trip, plugging into a 350kW ultra-rapid public charger will rocket your battery from 10% to 80% in just 19 minutes. That means you can add over 200 miles of range in the exact time it takes to grab a quick coffee and stretch your legs before your next meeting.
Supercar Performance Meets Complete Utility
Do not let the quiet luxury fool you; the eGV70 is astonishingly quick. With dual electric motors mounted across both axles, it produces a combined 483bhp when you hit the thumb-activated “Boost Mode” on the steering wheel. That launches this family-sized luxury SUV from 0-62mph in a sports-car-rivalling 4.4 seconds.
It balances that performance with complete real-world capability:
- 503-litre boot capacity expanding to a massive 1,678 litres with the rear seats folded flat.
- 1,800kg towing capacity—perfect for hauling large trailers or weekend caravans.
- Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology as standard, turning the car into a mobile 3.7kW power source capable of running laptop stations, tools, or appliances out in the field.

The Big Bottom Line: Massive Corporate Tax Relief
The financial argument for adding a Genesis Electrified GV70 to your business structure is where this vehicle makes absolute sense for company directors.
With zero tailpipe emissions, the Genesis Electrified GV70 sits comfortably in the lowest 4% BIK company car tax bracket for the 2026/2027 tax year. For a 40% taxpayer, the entry-level Pure specification translates to a remarkably low personal tax bill of around £87.50 per month. A fraction of what a traditional petrol or diesel equivalent would cost.
Furthermore, employers can enjoy ultra-low Class 1A National Insurance Contributions and access incredibly tax-efficient funding routes when managing the asset through a corporate salary sacrifice scheme. It is an incredibly cost-effective way to reward senior staff while simultaneously driving down company fuel and fleet maintenance overheads.
