Once again, Genesis comes prepared to impress everyone by following a successful combination of style, innovation, and overall luxury to whatever they produce. Going the all-electric route, the 2024 GV60 is a curvaceous, futuristic SUV coupe pampering up to five adults in a posh cabin, complemented with a plethora of technology and upscale amenities, backed by the renowned warranty Genesis provides. The GV60 comes in three trims—Standard, Advanced and Performance—and I was honored to review the latter, which boasts to be the most powerful of the three. Staying in character, Genesis knows how to captivate when it comes to stunning onlookers. The slanted, bi-level LED light configurations occupying both the front to back retain the automaker’s signature appearance, leaving other competitors often emulating them. Add the 21-inch alloy shoes, “Vision” roof complete with a power shade, and optional Hanauma Mint exterior, you have one fine-looking vehicle. Photos courtesy of GenesisUpon entrance, passengers are greeted by a highly recommended ash gray/glacier color combination, Nappa leather appointments throughout, aluminum trimming, signature quilted seating, an instrument panel wrapped in leatherette material, shades for the rear windows, pull-out glove box (like a drawer), wireless charging, surround-view monitor, a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation at the center, and the ultimate conversation starter—a lighted crystal sphere that turns to expose the transmission controls. Speaking of futuristic, there is also the Genesis Digital Key, the ability to start the engine with fingerprint authentication, and Face Connect to make the use of keys yesteryear. The ears get love as well with a theateresque Bang & Olufsen sound system, active noise control, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Now let’s ride. Justifying the “Performance” label, this GV60 uses a 77.4 kWh battery, and two 160-watt motors for the front and rear, delivering up to a 483-horsepower flex and 516 lb-ft. of torque. Already equipped with four droving modes—Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Comfort—the “Boost” button on the steering wheel gives an extraordinary thrill with an immediate 0-60 jump in four seconds. At a combined 90 MPGe per charge, the driving range is a decent 235 miles, complete with a charging time of 7.2 hours using a 240-volt station. Of course, there are perks to being an all-electric vehicle as well. The ride is quiet and smooth thanks to the electronically controlled suspension, while utilizing the all-wheel drive ideal for the tightest of cornering.The cost for all the bells and whistles takes the GV60 into the $70K range, but it’s all about how far buyers are willing to go to get what they want. In this case, if the wallet allows it, the Performance will electrify every driving experience, literally. Fuel Economy: 82 city/97 highway/90 combinedPrice: The 2024 Genesis GV60 AWD Performance is $69,550 MSRP.
