490 PS GENESIS GV60 - IS THIS THE BEST CAR IN ITS CLASS?

EV Channels Review

The Genesis GV60 Sport Plus impresses with its striking exterior styling and exceptionally luxurious interior, which the reviewer considers superior to many established premium brands. The performance is highlighted as a strong point, with the 490PS twin-motor setup delivering rapid acceleration. However, the review points out significant drawbacks: the price, particularly for the top-spec model which can exceed £75,000 with options, and a concerningly low real-world range. While the WLTP is rated at 289 miles, the reviewer's experience suggests a more realistic figure of 200-240 miles, even in summer. The car's rapid DC charging capability (over 200 kW) is presented as a mitigating factor for the range concerns. The reviewer suggests the sweet spot for value might be in the lower-spec models, optioned with desirable interior packages. Despite these issues, the GV60 is praised for its competent ride, handling, and innovative features like the rotating gear selector and blind-spot cameras.
