SHOULD YOU BUY A 2024 GENESIS GV60? THOROUGH REVIEW BY A MECHANIC

EV Channels Review

This mechanic's review of the 2024 Genesis GV60 Performance AWD highlights its striking design and luxurious interior, praising the high-quality materials, excellent fit and finish, and user-friendly physical controls that avoid the complexity often found in EVs. The reviewer is impressed by the sophisticated thermal management system, the electronically controlled limited-slip differential, and the surprisingly rapid 3.6-second 0-60 mph acceleration. However, significant drawbacks are identified: the real-world range of 196 miles in 30-40°F weather falls short of expectations, and charging times are considerably longer than competitors, taking 54 minutes from 20% to 100%. The reviewer also notes the high price point of $71,000 for the performance model, deeming it too expensive compared to more practical and efficient alternatives like the Tesla Model Y, which offers similar performance, better range, and greater practicality for significantly less money. The reviewer concludes that while the GV60 is a beautifully crafted and enjoyable car to be in, its high cost and compromised range/charging make the performance model a questionable purchase.
