EV Channels Review
After two weeks with the Genesis GV60, the reviewer finds it to be a compelling, upscale alternative to the Tesla Model Y. The build quality is praised as phenomenal, with a quiet and comfortable cabin that surpasses the Ioniq 5. The interior design, blending tactile buttons with a responsive touchscreen, is a highlight, as is the unique Crystal Sphere shifter. The reviewer appreciates the performance, especially the "Boost" button, and the effective driver-assist features, particularly the rear cross-traffic alert that prevented a collision. However, the GV60 is not without its flaws. The advertised Plug & Charge functionality does not work in the USA, and customer service regarding this issue was unhelpful. The "digital key" and key card also proved unreliable. Range is noted as limited, partly due to the 21-inch wheels. While the seats are described as gorgeous, they are firm initially, though expected to soften over time. Battery pre-conditioning only heats, not cools, the battery. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer highly recommends the GV60 over Tesla's Model 3 and Y for those seeking a more premium and less clinical EV experience, especially considering its competitive pricing and potential for federal tax credits.
