2023 GENESIS GV60: LUXURY, PERFORMANCE, TECH-FORWARD EV FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Genesis GV60 Performance AWD is presented as a compelling, tech-forward luxury EV crossover that challenges traditional German offerings. The reviewer highlights its impressive performance, with 429 hp (boostable to 483 hp) and a 0-60 mph time of 3.7 seconds, further enhanced by an electronic limited-slip differential for confident cornering. The vehicle's unique features, such as facial recognition entry, a fingerprint scanner, and a 'glowing orb' gear selector, are noted as standout tech elements. The ride quality is praised for its smoothness, even with 21-inch wheels, and the interior materials are generally well-received, though some trim pieces are deemed less premium. Key criticisms include the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a driving position that may not suit all users, particularly regarding gauge cluster visibility and steering wheel/headrest positioning. Ultimately, the reviewer suggests that while the Performance trim is highly capable, a lower trim level might offer better value for daily driving unless extreme performance is a priority.
