Introduction:

To help members understand the latest automotive technology so they can purchase vehicles that best suit their needs, the Automobile Club of Southern California's Automotive Research Center (ARC) began testing and reviewing vehicles over a decade ago

For the 2025 edition, we include testing and ranking cars and light trucks with the latest technology, including having at least one advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) feature. In addition to vehicle evaluation, the guide covers a number of pertinent automotive topics in detail—for example, the latest advanced safety features, how to properly maintain your vehicle, and new vehicles coming to market in the next few years.

Overall Observations

The sharp-looking GV60 small electric crossover, which debuted in 2023, is available in 3 trim levels: Standard, Advanced, and Performance. New for 2024, the Standard trim has a single, 225-hp electric motor at the rear axle; the Advanced and Performance trims have dual-motor, AWD setups. We tested the top-level Performance trim. The GV60’s drivetrain produces plenty of power—429 hp, with a 10-second boost mode for the Performance trim that bumps the power to 483 hp. The GV60 is engaging to drive, with quick acceleration, sporty handling, and a smooth ride over even pavement—rough patches of road can send small jolts into the cabin, however. The GV60’s spacious interior is modern and luxurious. Standard equipment includes adjoining 12.3-inch instrument and infotainment screens, a navigation system, head-up display, a comprehensive set of ADAS features, and 350-kW fast charging, which can charge the GV60’s battery from 10% to 80% in less than 18 minutes. Our test vehicle had some additional desirable features included with the Performance trim: 21-inch wheels, upgraded brakes, a limited-slip differential for increased traction, premium leather upholstery, additional adjustments and a massage function for the driver’s seat, and a digital key, which lets you use your smartphone for a key.
