2023 Genesis GV60 Performance

The good-looking GV60 small electric crossover is Genesis’ first dedicated EV. It shares a platform with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6 and is available in 2 trim levels, Advanced and Performance. Both have dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setups and the same 77.4-kWh battery pack. The GV60's drivetrain produces plenty of power—483 hp for the Performance version in its 10-second boost mode. The GV60 is also engaging to drive, with a comfortable ride overall, although its firm suspension transmits some minor jolts when driving over rough patches of road. Luxurious and modern, the GV60's spacious interior is equipped with adjoining 12.3-inch instrument and infotainment screens, racing-style aluminum brake and throttle pedals, and a crystal-ball-type gear selector that flips upside down when in Park. Other novel tech includes a face-scanning system and fingerprint reader that let owners enter the car and start it without a key. A comprehensive set of ADAS features is standard on the GV60, as is an 800-volt EV architecture, which enables super-fast charging. That's a good thing, because one of the GV60's weak points is its limited EV range (235 to 248 miles). Other negatives include restricted rear visibility due to a sloping roof and a split rear window—and that sloping roofline also limits cargo space
