The 2023 Genesis GV60 may be the company’s first dedicated platform electric vehicle, but Hyundai’s luxury brand isn’t pricing the model as if it were a brand new challenger, it’s actually more expensive than many key rivals. The electric compact crossover SUV will start at $59,980 for the base Advanced model, while the top-end Performance trim will ring in at $68,980 (both prices include a $1,090 delivery charge). The distinctively styled GV60 comes standard with all-wheel drive and will battle like the Audi Q4 E-Tron ($51,095 to $58,695), Tesla Model Y ($64,440 to $69,440) and Volvo XC40 Recharge ($52,795 to $59,245) – all prices include delivery.
The new model will, however, be eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit and will arrive extremely well equipped. Standard features include some cutting-edge technology such as Face Connect, which works with a door-mounted near-infrared camera and fingerprint sensor to provide 100% keyless access and keyless start. That’s right, you don’t need a keychain at all. , just your face and fingerprint, like a phone. (A pair of traditional key fobs are also included and you can also use your phone or apple watch as a digital key on Performance models).
The GV60 also includes Vehicle to load as a standard feature. V2L allows users to draw power from the vehicle’s 77.4kW lithium-ion polymer battery and export it directly to power other things – camping, your home appliances during a power outage or even charging another electric vehicle.
Beyond these high-tech features and various surprising and delightful new features such as the funky backlit crystal gearshift ball, you’ll find a super high-quality interior packed with intuitive and powerful technologies like a suite of standard cameras at 360 degrees, plus available niceties like massaging Nappa leather seats and a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system. A full suite of advanced driver assistance systems is standard, even on base models.
Additionally, all models come standard with dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrains. Advanced versions offer 314 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque, while Performance models develop 429 horsepower and the same peak torque. That’s enough to hit 60 mph from a standstill in 4 seconds.
As for range, Genesis says the GV60 should go up to 248 miles on a charge in the Advanced trim, while the more heavily-equipped Performance will run around 235 miles.
It’s really nice here.
