Like its Korean stablemates Hyundai and Kia, Genesis has taken electrification seriously, turning to the E-GMP electric platform to offer three EV models: the GV70 Electrified and GV60 crossover and G80 Electrified luxury sedan.

All three get Genesis’ patented top-drawer interior with high-class materials covering every surface, tons of  features and high-level passenger comfort.

For many, namely those not hot for the overly futuristic styling of some EVs entering the market, the great thing about Genesis’ electric models is that their designs don’t stray too far from their gas brethren (both the G80 and GV70 are produced in gas-powered variants).

  • - Genesis GV70 Electrified max range: 383 km
  • - Genesis GV60 max range: 399 km
  • - Genesis G80 Electrified max range: 475 km

Jaguar’s single offering in the EV space is the I-Pace, now a veteran in the segment. But it’s a harbinger of things to come as the brand is preparing to go full-electric going forward.

Meanwhile, the I-Pace continues to turn heads with its futuristic styling and bright colour choices that have helped it age well through the years. In addition to that, it features a number of on-board aids to help you get the most out of a charge with comprehensive graphics and gauges detailing what’s using power, and how your range will be affected if you switch certain features off, or turn them on.
