THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE (2023 GENESIS GV60)

EV Channels Review

The Genesis GV60 is presented as a high-performance, ultra-luxury electric SUV, but the reviewer emphasizes it's "not what it seems," offering a surprising blend of technology and comfort. The "Performance" all-wheel-drive model, priced around $130,000 AUD, is highlighted for its "insane" and "outlandish" lime green "Sao Paulo Green" exterior, featuring unique design elements like split headlights and camera-based side mirrors. Inside, the cabin is lauded as "beautiful" and "outlandish," with premium materials like Napa leather and Alcantara, a unique rotating gear selector, and dual 12.3-inch displays. Performance is described as "wildly quick" and "unbelievably quick," with the 10-second "boost button" adding to the thrill, though the 0-100 km/h time of 4.74 seconds in the rain was slightly slower than the claimed 4 seconds. Real-world range is noted as approximately 350 km, falling short of the claimed 470 km WLTP. While praised for its handling, comfort, and advanced tech, the reviewer points out a cramped rear legroom due to the battery placement and a less practical vertical boot opening. The GV60 is ultimately seen as a compelling, albeit expensive, luxury EV offering significant value through its extensive features and performance.
