2024 Genesis GV60 Performance

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.
