is genesis an electric car

No, Genesis is not exclusively an electric car brand. It is the luxury vehicle division of Hyundai Motor Group, manufacturing a full lineup of gasoline-powered sedans and SUVs alongside its new electric models. However, Genesis is aggressively transitioning to an all-electric future, having already launched several compelling EVs and committing to becoming a fully electric brand by 2030.

The brand's current electric offerings are part of its Electrified G-Model lineup. These are built on a dedicated electric-global modular platform (E-GMP), which is architecture shared with Hyundai and Kia EVs, optimized for performance, interior space, and fast charging. Key models include:

• Genesis GV60: A compact luxury crossover that was the first dedicated Genesis EV.
• Electrified G80: A full-size electric sedan based on the acclaimed G80.
• Electrified GV70: The electric version of the popular GV70 midsize SUV.

A significant advantage of these models is their ultra-fast charging capability. On a 350kW DC fast charger, they can add about 80% of battery charge in just 18 minutes. The table below compares the specifications of these foundational electric models.

Model	Body Style	Estimated Range (EPA)	Dual-Motor AWD Horsepower	DC Fast Charging (10-80%)
GV60 (Performance)	Compact Crossover	235 miles	429 hp (boosts to 483 hp with Boost Mode)	~18 minutes
Electrified G80	Full-Size Sedan	282 miles	365 hp	~22 minutes
Electrified GV70	Midsize SUV	236 miles	429 hp	~18 minutes

While you can still buy a gasoline-powered Genesis, the company's focus is clearly on its electric future. Their strategy emphasizes a premium ownership experience, including complimentary charging plans and at-home charger installation for early EV adopters. For a buyer today, Genesis offers a strong blend of established luxury credentials and cutting-edge electric technology.

I just went through this. Genesis makes both. I was looking at the GV70 SUV and had to be really careful because there's a regular gas model and an "Electrified" version. The electric one is quicker and quieter, but it's also a good chunk more expensive. So, no, it's not only electric. You have to specifically look for "Electrified" in the name or ask the dealer. It’s a choice, which is nice.

Think of Genesis like a tech company that still sells its older, successful products while launching all-new ones. The heart of the brand is its new electric line: the GV60, Electrified G80, and Electrified GV70. These are built from the ground up to be EVs, with insane charging speeds and minimalist interiors. But they still sell the gas models because there's demand. The future is electric, but the present offers both. Their 2030 goal for a full-electric lineup confirms the direction.
