Unlike the recently launched Genesis GV60 – which is built on a bespoke EV architecture – the GV70 Electrified takes the familiar underpinnings of a GV70 running on petrol or diesel and adapts them to EV life. It comes with a safety triangle, a first aid kit, eight airbags and active bonnet to prevent injuries to pedestrians.

But whereas the EV6 is based on a dedicated EV architecture, the Niro relies on an ICE platform to allow for the petrol engine for the hybrid model.

Call me old fashioned, but at this price give me a classy, single colour tan leather cabin – BMW and Lexus do this so well – or black leather with sporty red stitching a la Porsche. You could buy an EV9 Air, then something like a petrol Kia Cerato hatch as a second car with the money saved.
