Genesis has been pushing hard into electrification recently, working towards an . First came the , riding on the bones of the and . Next, the , a monument to vehicular opulence with pricing to match. Now, the company’s back with details on its third EV: The midsize GV70.

Genesis has built the GV70 for a while now, but this is the first time the company has brought full electrification to the model. But starting at $65,850, the electric version is over $20,000 dearer than a base-model gas-burning GV70. So what does all that extra money get you?

Well, it gets you closer to the competition. The , and the . costs even more than the Genesis, starting at $70,800. The Genesis does offer a higher trim level, with its Prestige package starting at $72,650, but that’s not out of the question for optioned-up competition — suffice to say, Genesis is in the ballpark here with pricing.

Morgan may be best known for making that look like airplanes from World War II, but that’s not all it makes. There’s the Aero GT, which is a touch more modern. But after a short drive in this BMW V8-powered roadster, I’m pretty sure it can actually fly. The huge...
