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?

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...
