Reading time: 2 minutes
The brand new 2023 Electrified GV70 from Genesis has officially been unveiled—and it’s being assembled right here in Alabama at the company’s Montgomery manufacturing facility. This marks the first time a Genesis model is assembled in the US and the first-ever Genesis assembly to take place outside of South Korea. Read on for more details.
Made in Montgomery
With the rise of electric vehicle initiatives, including Drive Electric Alabama, the demand for EV’s has been stronger than ever. The Electrified GV70 is the third electric vehicle from Genesis following the launch of the GV60 SUV and the Electrified G80 executive sedan last year.
This new vehicle is special because it’s being manufactured in Montgomery as Genesis’ first ever model to be assembled in the US. Built upon the award-winning GV70 platform, it features a plush interior and refined performance.
“The Electrified G70 represents two important milestones as we continue on our journey toward full electrification by 2030. We are pleased to not only be growing our electric product portfolio, but also to be assembling Genesis products right here in America for the very first time.”
Claudia Marquez, Chief Operating Officer, Genesis Motor North America
Genesis has committed that all new models launched will be all-electric starting in 2025, and that its entire vehicle lineup will be electric by 2030. Genesis is working to achieve carbon neutrality across its operations by 2035.
