Find out how the GV60, Electrified GV70, and GV60 Magma stack up for business drivers

Choosing your next company car or salary sacrifice vehicle is a major decision – and one traditionally ruled by the head rather than the heart. Thankfully, electrification has transformed fleet choice lists, replacing dull compromises with vehicles that deliver genuine luxury, thrilling performance, and ultra-low running costs. And few brands strike that chord better than Genesis.

Distinguished by opulent design, bespoke Korean craftsmanship, and state-of-the-art technology, there’s a Genesis tailored to every fleet driver. So, whether you need the compact agility of the upgraded GV60, the family-friendly space of the Electrified GV70, or the ferocious 641bhp adrenaline hit of the flagship GV60 Magma, here is your definitive guide to the Genesis electric range – and why these three standout SUVs belong at the top of your shortlist.

Explore the Genesis range

Genesis GV60: Executive comfort meets compact dimensions

Launched in 2022 and updated significantly in 2025, the urban-friendly GV60 is Genesis’ best-selling model to date – blending athletic styling and exhilarating performance with a technology-rich cabin and blisteringly fast charging.

Step inside, and the GV60 feels more airport lounge than car cabin. The dedicated EV architecture does away with a traditional transmission tunnel, creating an incredibly spacious, airy cockpit, while the soft materials, tactile switchgear, and signature Crystal Sphere gear selector impart a genuine sense of opulence.

The focal point is the vast 27.0-inch Integrated Cockpit, which merges the central infotainment touchscreen and digital driver display into one enormous panoramic screen across the top of the dashboard. It responds to a simple “Hey Genesis”, so you can keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, and will even stream content from Netflix, Disney+ and Bloomberg. Enhanced by an optional 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system with Dolby Atmos, it’s an ideal distraction if you’re parked up waiting for a charge.

Beneath the sharp, aerodynamically re-profiled bodywork lies an upgraded 84kWh battery, delivering up to 348 miles (WLTP) of range in rear-wheel drive models and up to 311 miles (WLTP) in flagship Performance trim. Thanks to its advanced 800-volt charging architecture, plugging into a 350kW rapid charger takes the battery from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes – adding more than 100 miles of range in less time than a quick coffee break. Intelligent battery pre-conditioning and pre-entry climate controls ensure every electron is put to efficient use.

But don’t let the GV60’s luxurious trimmings or energy-efficient underpinnings fool you into thinking it doesn’t have a fun side. Acceleration ranges from an impressive 7.8-second 0-62mph sprint in entry-level Pure trim, to a supercar-baiting 4.0 seconds in the 483bhp Performance model.

Yet on the motorway, it’s a tranquil cruiser: acoustic glass, active noise cancellation, and adaptive suspension work in harmony to isolate you from road fatigue, while a suite of advanced assistance features also take some of the effort out of long days at the wheel.

All versions include Highway Driving Assist, which intelligently adjusts the car’s speed and lane position, while automatic lane change assistance is available as an upgrade. Add the Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 function, and the GV60 can manoeuvre in and out of tight parallel, perpendicular and diagonal parking spaces with nobody at the wheel. A high-tech way to avoid those end-of-contract damage charges.

Practicality is another strong point; pushed-out wheels and a completely flat floor unlock immense interior space despite the compact coupé-SUV silhouette. The result is 432 litres of cargo space in the boot, or 680 when the rear seats are folded, plus an additional 53 litres under the bonnet (rear-wheel drive version only) – ideal for carrying the charging cable. The tailgate is electrically powered as standard, with options that include automatic opening if you’re stood nearby for three seconds.

Sliding into the lowest 4% company car tax band for 2026/27, the GV60 delivers ultra-low Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) rates for employees alongside significant National Insurance savings and 100% tax write-offs for employers. Paired with salary sacrifice, it brings a luxury EV well within reach on a predictable monthly budget. Driven on a low-cost home energy tariff, running costs drop to a fraction of a traditional diesel car, while over-the-air updates ensure it stays continuously optimised.

Genesis Electrified GV70: same luxury, more space

If you need more space but have the same burning desire for next-level luxury and pulse-raising performance, the Genesis Electrified GV70 could well be the model for you.

Visually, the Electrified GV70 stands apart from rivals with its uniquely sharp, opulent Korean design language. Recently refreshed with redesigned bumpers, Micro Lens Array LED headlights, and a heated, grille-integrated charging port, its sleek silhouette incorporates full-length underbody fairings to manage airflow, boosting range and high-speed refinement.

Step inside, and the cabin feels like a cocoon of couture. Soft-touch, sustainably sourced materials are illuminated by soothing ambient lighting, anchored by the same 27.0-inch connected Integrated Cockpit you find in the GV60. It is intuitive, feature-rich and controlled by touch, voice or the large rotary dial on the centre console.

Opt for the Comfort Pack and you’ll get Ergo Motion massaging seats with 18-way air-cell adjustment. Combine that with the built-in Mood Curator system – blending music, scents, and lighting – and optional 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, and every drive is transformed into an immersive experience.

Just like the GV60, the Electrified GV70 works just as hard as it plays. There’s plenty of room for five adults, while all versions are equipped with a powered tailgate for easy access to a large 503-litre loadspace – expandable up to 1678 litres with the rear seats folded. It’ll also tow up to 1800kg, which is enough to haul a large caravan.

Under the skin lies a large 84kWh battery that delivers up to 298 miles range (WLTP). Like the GV60, the Electrified GV70 comes with state-of-the-art 800-volt architecture as standard, which means plugging into a 350kW ultra-fast charger restores 10% to 80% capacity in just 19 minutes – adding more than 200 miles of range in less time than a short comfort break.

Crucially, driving for work doesn't have to be a chore. Dual-motor all-wheel drive produces a combined 483bhp in Boost Mode, launching this palatial SUV to 62mph in just 4.4 seconds. Road-previewing electronic suspension dials in engagement and comfort, while AI-powered Auto Terrain modes provide total composure at any speed.

The business case is equally overwhelming. With 0g/km rated CO2 emissions, all versions fall into the lowest 4% company car tax bracket, delivering Benefit-in-Kind payments as low as £87.50 per month for a 40% taxpayer alongside 100% tax relief for employers. Paired with salary sacrifice savings and low home charging costs, the Electrified GV70 proves drivers really can have it all.

Genesis GV60 Magma: Performance meets pragmatism

The first model from Genesis’ new performance program for the brand, the GV60 Magma is a 641bhp fire-breathing performance SUV that takes everything good about the standard GV60 – its tech, comfort and practicality – and turns the dial up to 11 with serious track-honed DNA.

Raw performance is always just one movement away: press the steering-wheel Boost button and the dual-motor powertrain unleashes a mind-scrambling 3.4-second sprint to 62mph. Beyond sheer speed, five tailored drive modes – including Magma-exclusive GT for long-distance touring and Sprint for track attack – ensure it remains exhilarating in every environment.

The jewel in the GV60 Magma’s crown is its convention-bending Virtual Gearshift technology. Meticulously engineered by Magma’s expert engineers, this synthetic gearbox simulates the rapid-fire shifts of a petrol performance car up to a 9000rpm redline, complete with three selectable engine notes. Visually, it backs up the noise with aggressive front cooling vents, an aerodynamically functional rear wing, a 50mm wider track, and 21-inch forged wheels wrapping massive 440mm brakes. Sitting 20mm lower on adaptive suspension that reads upcoming road surfaces, it handles smooth tracks and country lanes with equal poise.

Yet, it’s no stripped-back racer. Inside, 10-way adjustable suede bucket seats with orange or white stitching join the signature rotating Crystal Sphere gear selector and the same vast 27.0-inch panoramic display found in the standard GV60. It also comes with the full suite of assistance and active safety systems, earning it a full five stars with safety organisation Euro NCAP. Highlights include Highway Driving Assist, which maintains its position within a lane and relative to other vehicles, and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 which enables it to manoeuvre in and out of tight spaces with nobody at the wheel.

Genesis Connected Services also offer great functionality for fleet drivers. It enables remote vehicle checks, including charging status, pre-setting climate control before setting off, all via a smartphone app, and the ability to download and analyse individual journeys, learning more efficient driving techniques. That’ll help keep your fleet manager happy.

Long distances pose no challenge thanks to its clever EV underpinnings. An 84kWh battery delivers up to 264 miles of range (WLTP), while 800-volt architecture restores 10% to 80% charge in just 18 minutes on a 350kW rapid charger – adding 195 miles in the time it takes to grab a coffee. On practical duties, it offers 432 litres of boot space as standard – expandable up to 670 litres with the rear seats folded flat. It also boasts plenty of space for five and acoustic glass for hush-quiet cruising.

Crucially, and most impressively, it makes total sense for business. Rated at 0g/km CO2, the GV60 Magma sits in the same 4% company car tax bracket for ultra-low Benefit-in-Kind bills as the standard GV60 and Electrified GV70, while employers gain 100% corporation tax relief and lower National Insurance Contributions. Add in salary sacrifice savings and low-cost home charging on overnight tariffs, and you have a track-honed supercar killer that keeps your fleet manager smiling.

So, whether it’s the compact GV60, palatial Electrified GV70 or savage GV60 Magma that takes your fancy, Genesis’ range proves that company car and salary sacrifice drivers can choose with both head and heart.
