Genesis Electrified GV70 makes its European debut

Last year, Genesis introduced its third electric model after the GV60 and Electrified G80, the Electrified GV70 midsize SUV. Hyundai’s premium firm revealed this important novelty during the Guangzhou Motor Show (China); however, the European public has had to wait for the Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​to see it for the first time in person.

The Genesis Electrified GV70 derives, as its name suggests, from the thermal GV70; that is, it is not a dedicated electric like the GV60. Despite this, everything seems to indicate that modules from the E-GMP platform have been used in its development since some of its specifications are identical to those of said model.

This is the case with its 77.4 kWh capacity batteries, the same ones that we can find not only in the Genesis GV60 but also in the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and KIA EV6. Thanks to this pack, the SUV announces an approximate autonomy of 400 km under the Korean homologation cycle (remember that a Hyundai Kona Electric announces 406 km in South Korea, while under the European WLTP cycle it achieves 484 km).

Also, the E-GMP seems to come to its 800-volt electrical system, which allows it to go from 10 to 80% charge in just 18 minutes. We, therefore, understand that the vehicle is capable of reaching a peak power of 239 kW in direct current. In addition, it has a Vehicle to Load function that will allow users to charge equipment and tools at 3.6 kW.

The Genesis Electrified GV70 has 489 horsepower

Its drivetrain is made up of two electric motors in dual configuration (one on the front axle and one on the rear, so it enjoys total traction), which announced a combined power of 489 CV (360 kW) and a pair of 700Nm. Thanks to this set, the Korean SUV announces 0 to 100 km / h in just 4.5 seconds.

At 4.72 meters long, the Genesis Electrified GV70 will have to contend with models from the premium D-SUV segment such as the Audi Q4 e-Tron, BMW iX3, Jaguar I-Pace, Mercedes-Benz EQB, and EQC and the Tesla Model Y. Its specifications and pricing for the European market will be revealed in late summer, with order books opening soon after.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
