Excitement is in the air as the stunning Genesis GV60 prepares to take the automotive world by storm! After its debut at the start of the year, this remarkable electric SUV is set to hit showroom floors on July 1st, and it comes packed with impressive features that are sure to turn heads. With a bold and refined design, a sprawling 27-inch touchscreen, and a driving range of up to 560 kilometers, the GV60 is ready to redefine what we expect from electric vehicles. The previous model was equipped with a 77.4 kWh battery, allowing for a maximum range of 516 kilometers; now, with the introduction of a larger 84 kWh powerpack that it shares with the acclaimed Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, you can enjoy even greater distances between charges.
One of the standout features of the GV60 is the incredible charging capability. Need to juice up quickly? Genesis has you covered! Using a 350 kW ultra-rapid charger, you can go from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes—perfect for those on-the-go moments. For driving enthusiasts, the GV60 offers options for both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive. The exhilarating dual-motor variants can rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere four seconds! Imagine the thrill as you feel the power and raw acceleration at your fingertips. But the excitement doesn’t stop there: climb into the driver’s seat and experience the newly introduced 'virtual gear shift' system. Mimicking the sound and feel of a traditional combustion engine coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this feature adds an extra layer of thrill to the driving experience.
Aesthetically, the GV60 strikes a perfect balance between elegance and athleticism. While the styling updates aren’t as dramatic as those seen on the EV6 last year, they present just the right touch of sophistication. The redesigned front bumper exudes aggression with its bold air intakes and a sleek new grille that not only enhances the car’s aesthetic appeal but also improves aerodynamics, helping to extend the vehicle’s range further.
Genesis’s iconic split headlights now feature cutting-edge Micro Lens Array technology, inherited from their luxurious G90 sedan, which rivals the likes of the prestigious Mercedes S-Class. This innovative lighting setup ensures superior performance and light distribution, enhancing both safety and style. Customers will appreciate the new alloy wheel designs available in both 20-inch and 21-inch sizes, as well as the body-colored side skirts and wheel arch cladding that create a streamlined appearance, giving the GV60 a more grounded and sophisticated stance.
Potential buyers will be delighted to discover that they have a generous selection of 14 paint options at their disposal, ranging from eye-catching metallic finishes to sleek matte and pearl hues, including a striking new Tromso Green Metallic. Step inside, and you’ll find an expansive cabin that bursts with luxury and innovation. The twin 12.3-inch screens have been replaced with a spectacular single 27-inch panel that merges functionality with a futuristic touch. A sportier three-spoke steering wheel design enhances driving engagement, while an available 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system promises an immersive listening experience with Dolby Atmos surround sound. For those craving a bit of 21st-century ingenuity, there’s even an option for a digital rear-view mirror, although the beloved crystal-ball gear selector remains unchanged.
With the order books set to open next month, eager fans are waiting to learn more about the full range of specifications and pricing. The previous model started just below €55,000, and the refreshed version is expected to hover around that same figure. Plus, there’s exciting news on the horizon! A high-performance variant, the Genesis GV60 Magma, is slated for release later this year, aiming to deliver even more exhilarating power than the impressive 641 hp Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and the newly upgraded Kia EV6 GT. Tyrone Johnson, the vehicle development chief, assured us that the GV60 Magma has its own unique vision that sets it apart from its rivals.
The Genesis GV60 combines advanced technology, stunning design, and thrilling performance into one compelling package. Whether you prioritize range, luxury, or sheer driving pleasure, this remarkable electric SUV is poised to impress in every regard.
