Select a category below to learn more about how the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD compares to the Tesla Model Y.

SUSTAINABILITY

Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD

You take pride in reducing your carbon footprint. With all-electric vehicle (EV) capabilities, the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD and the Tesla Model Y produce zero tailpipe emissions and help you connect to nature. That said, only one of these models goes the distance to provide unparalleled capabilities. Which one will it be?

Less Environmental Impact Made Easy

There are many reasons to take the wheel of an EV. Reduced emissions, convenient charging solutions, and numerous perks are the tip of the iceberg. When you want to drive an EV with an EPA-estimated driving range of at least 263 miles, the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD and the Tesla Model Y fit the bill.*

Charging is simple; plug in at home or visit a public charging station while on the go. When properly equipped, the Electrified GV70 AWD and the Model Y can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 19 minutes, helping you get back to your commute with minimal downtime.

While each SUV has sustainability at its core, only Genesis extends clean energy usage with Genesis Home. This advanced system can add solar panels to your home and store excess electricity with Energy Storage Systems. This power bank can be used to keep your home powered during a blackout, reduce energy usage during peak hours, or even charge your Electrified GV70 AWD to leave less of a mark on the environment. With the Genesis, you can shrink your carbon footprint without changing your daily life.

Immerse Yourself in Nature

The Genesis Electric GV70 Advanced AWD and the Tesla Model Y were designed to connect you to nature. Each model has a Panoramic Roof (available with the Model Y) providing a scenic view of the world. Sadly, this is where the similarities end for Tesla Model Y drivers.

The Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD and the Electrified GV70 Prestige offer various elements inspired by the natural world, including:

  • Nature-inspired color palette: Features exterior colors like Vik Black, which is inspired by the black-sand beaches of Iceland, and interior colors like Frozen Gray and Urban Brown.
  • Ambient lighting: Drapes the cabin in adjustable hues, while the Milky Way Pattern front-door backlighting evokes a sense of natural wonder.
  • Whisper-quiet travel: Allows you to experience nature as intended—uninterrupted—thanks to available Active Noise Control, which blocks unwanted road sounds.

The Tesla Model Y only offers ultraviolet- and infrared-protected glass, which means passengers are more likely to hear passing cars and other road noises when traveling.

INNOVATION

Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD

If you love technology and modern gadgets, the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD and the Tesla Model Y are sure to delight you. From entertainment to safety, these innovative features have it all.

A Front-Runner of Innovation

Driving the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD or the Tesla Model Y introduces cutting-edge technology that enhances your driving experience. With the Model Y, Tesla Arcade can help pass the time when parked and waiting for an appointment or reservation. You can play games directly on the touchscreen display.

The Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD and its higher trim levels provide several exclusive features, including:

  • Fingerprint Authentication: Uses biometrics to start your vehicle and load your saved preferences.
  • Bang & Olufsen® premium audio sound system: Creates an immersive audio experience thanks to 15 strategically placed speakers.
  • Genesis Digital Key 2: Eliminates the need for a key fob. This feature transforms your smartphone into a virtual key and greets you with your favorite saved settings.

Both SUVs have exclusive features, but the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD offers more revolutionary features that elevate your commute.

Enhanced Safety

Safety is your top priority and a core value of the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD and the Tesla Model Y. Each SUV uses sophisticated monitoring technology to help keep you alert and protected from Point A to Point B. However, these models take two different approaches to safety.

The Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD enables 360 degrees of monitoring with features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. For an enhanced experience, the Genesis includes Highway Driving Assist 2, which enables mild-autonomous capabilities to help keep you centered and a safe distance from other vehicles.

Conversely, the Model Y includes available Full Self-Driving technology to drive itself. That poses an important question: Are you ready to let go of the wheel? If you prefer a balance of advanced technology with greater driving involvement, the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD is a reliable safety pick.

Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD

You rely on your SUV for everyday travel, so you need a vehicle that strikes a balance between comfort and convenience. Let's examine the various amenities of the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD and the Tesla Model Y to see which SUV epitomizes form and function.

With so much time spent behind the wheel, you deserve a vehicle that will help you arrive feeling rejuvenated. With the Tesla Model Y, standard heated front seats and an advanced climate control system boost your comfort regardless of the climate.

Luxury is where the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD truly shines. Intricate diamond-shaped details add an air of sophistication only found in this model. The distinctive diamond grille and stitching along the seats enhance its luxurious presence.

Beyond this, the Electrified GV70 AWD creates a relaxing environment thanks to standard and available features like:

  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • 4-way power lumbar support
  • Ergo-Motion front seats with bolster support

The Electrified GV70 AWD adds another layer of sophistication with a rotary gear shift—a feature not offered with the Model Y.

Excelling at Everyday Travel

There’s a lot to love about your everyday travels when you take the wheel of the Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD. This luxury SUV comes standard with All Wheel Drive (AWD) to enhance traction on various road types. This can help you enjoy the scenic route with its light off-roading capabilities, but it also has its benefits on city and residential streets. AWD helps your vehicle grip the road during quick maneuvers and sharp turns, delivering an all-around benefit.

The Electrified GV70 AWD makes you a smooth operator with its Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview. Using a front camera to scan the road surface, the Genesis will automatically adjust the suspension to smooth out imperfections in the road, such as potholes or speed bumps.

The Tesla Model Y can be equipped with an optional AWD system; however, no similar advanced suspension system is offered.
