Genesis of San Bruno - How Boost Mode Elevates the 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70 for Burlingame, CA Drivers
If you love vehicles that feel poised, responsive, and remarkably smooth, Boost Mode in the 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70 is the feature to put on your shortlist. With standard dual-motor AWD already delivering 429 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft of torque, a press of the Boost button temporarily unlocks additional performance for a brisk, confident surge — perfect for quick merges or passing maneuvers on Highway 101. Yet the magic of Boost Mode is how measured it feels. Thanks to the Electrified GV70’s balanced chassis, fine-tuned suspension, and precise throttle calibration, that extra power arrives as a clean, predictable arc rather than a jolt. For daily driving around Burlingame, CA, it’s an elegant safety and confidence tool as much as it is a thrill.
Boost Mode’s benefits extend beyond the rush. With the 27" OLED display bringing performance and navigation data into a single, panoramic view, you remain informed at a glance. It’s the kind of cohesive, confidence-inspiring setup you expect in a modern luxury EV: you adjust drive settings, monitor energy flow, and keep navigation cues in sight without clutter. Add available Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2, Forward Attention Warning, and Surround View Monitor, and the Electrified GV70 becomes an exceptional partner for city streets, coastal drives, or a weekend cruise up Skyline Boulevard. And for those who care about sound just as much as speed, the optional Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio system turns your playlist into a soundstage, letting your favorite tracks ride the same wave of composure as the drivetrain.
- Why Boost Mode matters: It provides short bursts of elevated output when you need decisive acceleration for merging, passing, or confidently clearing an intersection.
- Confidence with composure: The dual-motor AWD system delivers instant torque to all four wheels, maintaining stability and traction even on imperfect pavement.
- Effortless visibility: With the 27" OLED display, essential performance info stays readable, reducing the need to hunt for data across multiple screens.

- Charging made practical: Ultra Fast Charging capability and access to Tesla Superchargers — with IONNA Network chargers coming online — help you keep Boost Mode’s fun ready for your next drive.
Beyond performance, the Electrified GV70’s design and cabin remind you why this EV sits at the intersection of elegance and athleticism. The G-Matrix Crest Grille, Two-Line MLA Headlamps, and tasteful surfacing project confident sophistication, while the interior’s calming ambient lighting and available Ergo-Motion Seats work behind the scenes to reduce fatigue. Terrain Mode is there if weather or surfaces change unexpectedly, and the underlying quiet of electric propulsion keeps conversations easy. For drivers who want their EV to be as engaging on a quick run to the market as it is cruising to the coast, Boost Mode is the flourish that turns capability into a signature.
