2023-2024 GENESIS GV60 REVIEW: STILL THE BEST LUXURY EV FOR $60K

EV Channels Review

The Genesis GV60 Performance is lauded as a top-tier luxury EV, particularly for its price point. The reviewer highlights its stunning design, particularly the Atacama Copper paint and unique styling cues, though notes the rear zigzag line is a polarizing element. Performance is a major strength, with the "Boost Mode" offering exhilarating acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.86 seconds) and the "Drift Mode" adding dynamic driving capabilities. The interior receives high praise for its luxurious materials, including Napa leather seats with diamond stitching, a suede headliner, and exquisite aluminum accents. Features like the crystal gear selector, Bang & Olufsen sound system, massaging seats, and comprehensive ambient lighting contribute to a premium experience. However, the lack of a rear windshield wiper is cited as a significant functional oversight, detracting from an otherwise excellent design. While the performance model is impressive, the reviewer suggests the "Advanced" trim offers a better balance of performance and value for most drivers, and that the GV60, while a nicer car than the Ioniq 5, shares much of its platform and capabilities. The reviewer strongly recommends leasing due to rapid technological advancements and tax credit eligibility.
