THE 2024 GENESIS GV60 PERFORMANCE IS A STAND OUT LUXURY EV FOR ENTHUSIASTS

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Genesis GV60 Performance is reviewed as a standout luxury EV for enthusiasts, offering a unique blend of quirky styling, premium interior, and engaging driving dynamics. The reviewer highlights the performance trim's nearly 500 horsepower and quick acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in as low as 3.66 seconds with the boost function. A key new feature for 2024 is the VGS (Virtual Gear Shift) system, which mimics internal combustion engine shifts and sounds, adding a visceral, enthusiast-focused element not found in other EVs. The interior is praised for its high-quality materials, comfortable Nappa leather seats with massage functions, and innovative features like the rotating crystal sphere shifter. However, the reviewer notes that while fast, the Performance trim is slightly slower than its Kia EV6 GT counterpart and comes at a significant price premium. Real-world winter range averaged around 200-210 miles, falling short of the claimed 235 miles, though this is considered competitive within its segment. The reviewer suggests the Advanced model might offer better value, but the Performance trim remains a compelling, albeit expensive, choice for those seeking a luxurious and distinct electric driving experience.
