2023 GENESIS GV60: LUXURY ELECTRIFIED

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Genesis GV60 marks a significant step in the brand's transition to an all-electric future. While the reviewer expresses excitement for the vehicle's debut, there's a sense that the GV60, built on the shared E-GMP platform with Hyundai and Kia, offers fewer surprises due to the prior reveals of the Ioniq 5 and EV6. Key highlights include the potential for a wireless charging system and a surprising "drift mode" and "boost button" that temporarily increases horsepower. However, the reviewer notes that the exterior design, particularly in the "radioactive yellow" color, is less appealing than other Genesis models like the GV70 or the Genesis X concept. Interior criticisms include the silver accents and bulbous switchgear, though the climate control buttons and touchscreen are praised. While official range figures are absent, an estimated 250 miles is suggested, with a potential price tag around $50,000 for a base model. A higher-performance AWD version with 429 horsepower is mentioned as a possibility for Korea, which the reviewer anticipates will eventually reach the US, albeit at a higher price point (estimated $70-80k). The lack of dedicated Genesis dealerships is identified as a current hurdle for the brand's luxury positioning.
