Genesis Electrified GV70 Entered Production In Alabama
It's the first Genesis model produced outside of South Korea.
On February 21, the first all-electric Genesis Electrified GV70 SUV rolled off the production line at Hyundai's plant in Montgomery, Alabama.
It's the first Genesis model that entered production in the United States and the first-ever Genesis produced outside of South Korea.
At the same time, the Genesis Electrified GV70, joins the Genesis GV60 (E-GMP-based cousin of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6) and Genesis Electrified G80 sedan, as the third all-electric Genesis.
All three models so far were produced only in South Korea, but now the electric GV70 will be produced also locally in the US, which considering the starting price of $65,850, means eligibility for the full $7,500 federal tax credit.
