Genesis GV70 Electrified vs Subaru Solterra

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Genesis GV70 Electrified has the higher published DC charging figure at 240 kW, which is roughly 60% higher than the Subaru Solterra at 150 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Genesis GV70 Electrified is listed at about 18 minutes, which is 12 minutes quicker than the Subaru Solterra at 30 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Genesis GV70 Electrified has a WLTP rated range of approximately 455 km, which is roughly 40 km more than the Subaru Solterra at approximately 415 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Subaru Solterra consumes 200 Wh/km, compared to 208 Wh/km for the Genesis GV70 Electrified. That means the Subaru Solterra uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Genesis GV70 Electrified has approximately 80 kWh of useable battery , while the Subaru Solterra has approximately 69 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Genesis GV70 Electrified has the higher published DC figure (up to 240 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 18 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Genesis GV70 Electrified supports up to 11 kW, compared to up to 6.6 kW for the Subaru Solterra. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Subaru Solterra is the more efficient choice at 200 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Genesis GV70 Electrified has a WLTP rated range of approximately 455 km, which is roughly 40 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
