GENESIS GV60 SPORT PLUS REVIEW: BIG ON PRICE, LITTLE ON QUALITY

EV Channels Review

The Genesis GV60 Sport Plus, despite its premium aspirations and £75,000 price tag, falls significantly short in perceived quality and value, according to this review. While the reviewer acknowledges its quick acceleration, comfortable ride, nice steering, attractive alloy wheels, and excellent reversing lights as positives, these are overshadowed by numerous criticisms. The interior is repeatedly described as lacking premium feel, with an abundance of hard, cheap-feeling plastics, silver-painted trim instead of metal, and questionable design choices like exposed accelerator cables and a flimsy-looking rear spoiler. The reviewer and colleagues express disappointment with the infotainment system, the functionality of certain controls, and the overall fit and finish, especially considering the car shares a platform with the more affordable Hyundai Ioniq 5. Real-world range was noted at around 240 miles, and the seat comfort and ventilation were also points of contention. The conclusion is that for the price, the GV60 Sport Plus does not justify its cost, with better quality and value found in competitors like the Renault 5, Volvo EX30, and Tesla Model Y.
