GENESIS GV60 PERFORMANCE: THE KIA EV6 AND HYUNDAI IONIQ 5'S LUXURY SIBLING

EV Channels Review

The Genesis GV60 Performance is presented as a luxurious sibling to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, built on the same E-GMP platform. The review highlights its opulent interior, featuring Napa leather and a unique crystal sphere gear selector. Notable features include facial recognition for unlocking, digital side mirrors with camera feeds, and a smooth, quiet ride thanks to acoustic laminated glass. The performance variant boasts 483 horsepower and a boost mode, comparable to the EV6 GT. However, the reviewer notes the lack of a rear wash wiper as a significant drawback, especially for those outside urban areas. Charging capabilities are emphasized, with support for 350 kW DC fast charging, though testing was hampered by broken chargers. The interior offers ample space and comfort, including heated rear seats, but the rear seat base is noted as being slightly low. The reviewer also points out the unusual rear seat controls for adjusting the front passenger seat and the advanced key fob with remote parking functionality. Overall, the GV60 is praised for its luxury and performance but falls short on practicality with the missing rear wiper.
