Genesis GV60 Performance AWD SUV Review

How good is the Genesis GV60 EV

Genesis GV60 EV 2023 front quarter

Genesis GV60 – Regular listeners will know that Brianna drove a Genesis GV60 a few months ago and loved it.

Genesis GV60 EV 2023 front quarterI wanted the chance to spend some more time in it and last week I got to drive the Performance AWD model.

The GV60 is an all-new electric car only. It’s priced from a touch under $115,000 plus the usual costs so it’s a bit expensive, as most EVs are.

However, you get a lot for the money.

Its stylish, sleek and coupe like in exterior design. The interior is minimalist and functional. There are a bunch of clever and cool features like the digital cameras for rear view mirrors. They take a little getting used to but great once you do.

The fingerprint recognition seems technology for technology’s sake. Large, clear, and functional driver instrument cluster and central touch screen ensures you are well informed.

The GV60 is quiet, smooth, and responsive to drive. In performance mode it will do 4 second 0-100kmh times. This comes from the 77.4kwh battery with some 360kW of power and a healthy 700Nm of torque.

On a full charge its good for about 450km. Charging at fast chargers isn’t bad, but doing it at home on a normal 10AMP 240V plug tales forever.

Overall, like Brianna said a few months ago, I really liked the Genesis GV60.

Genesis GV60 Final thoughts

Genesis builds excellent premium cars.

The GV60 is the sibling to the Kia EVT GT but with more presence and slightly less performance.

The GV60 is stylish and futuristic.

It combines zero driving emissions with scintillating performance and luxurious interior.

GV60 Gets the balance between size, style and performance spot on.
