First Genesis to be assembled in the United States at Montgomery, Alabama manufacturing facility
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Last week, Genesis held the North American debut of the Electrified GV70 during a special media event in Los Angeles. The Electrified GV70 is the third electric vehicle added to the Genesis lineup and celebrates another step toward a more sustainable future.
Built upon the award-winning GV70, the Electrified GV70 features a spacious interior and refined performance with a host of technologies designed exclusively for electric vehicles. Production of the Electrified GV70 is expected to start this December at the brand’s Montgomery, Alabama manufacturing facility. This is the first Genesis model to be built in the United States and the first-ever Genesis production to take place outside of South Korea.
The first public showing of the Electrified GV70 in the U.S. market will take place during the LA Auto Show from Nov. 18-27 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
“The North American debut of the Electrified GV70 and its assembly in Montgomery, Alabama represents a significant milestone for Genesis,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America. “We are pleased for everyone to experience the Electrified GV70 in person at this year’s LA Auto Show.”
