2023 GENESIS GV60 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Genesis GV60 Performance is reviewed as a compelling, albeit quirky, electric SUV that significantly elevates the interior experience compared to its Hyundai and Kia counterparts. Reviewers praise its luxurious materials, intuitive rotary shifter, and well-integrated physical controls, calling it the best infotainment setup among the E-GMP platform siblings. The performance is undeniable, with boost mode delivering exhilarating acceleration and a surprising, albeit sketchy, drift mode. However, the reviewer notes significant understeer and a lack of control when traction is off, making it 'scary' and not suited for inexperienced drivers. While comfortable and quiet on the road, its handling in corners is deemed inferior to competitors like the Porsche Taycan and even the BMW i4. The GV60's range is stated at 378 km (235 miles), with a fast charging capability of 10-80% in 18 minutes under ideal conditions. Despite its impressive interior and performance, the high price point ($79,000 CAD) leads the reviewer to suggest that a BMW i4 might be a better driving alternative, though the GV60's unique features and luxury make it the most 'fun' and 'coolest' of the Genesis/Hyundai/Kia trio.
