2023 GENESIS GV60 REVIEW - UNSUSPECTING LUXURY MISSILE

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Genesis GV60 Performance variant is presented as a "luxury missile" with blistering acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in as little as 4.13 seconds with boost mode engaged. The reviewer highlights its impressive power and quiet highway cruising, comparing it favorably to the electric G80 for its performance, though noting the G80 offers a more luxurious and stately feel. While the GV60 boasts innovative features like the Crystal Sphere and a unique interior design, the reviewer finds the materials slightly underwhelming compared to the G80, feeling it's only a "hair better" than the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. The ride is described as firm, and handling in corners is limited by the vehicle's significant weight, suggesting performance tires would be beneficial. A notable drawback is the abrupt braking when disengaging adaptive cruise control when the 'i-pedal' mode is active, a common issue on the E-GMP platform. Despite its performance prowess, the reviewer ultimately favors the Ioniq 5 when factoring in price and overall value, suggesting the $10,000 premium for the Performance trim over the Advanced trim might not be justified for most buyers, as the 310 horsepower Advanced model is already more than adequate.
