Genesis GV60 | Amazing and Terrible at Once

We review the Genesis GV60, the newest electric car in the lineup. While this may share many things with the Ioniq5, EV6, and even Ioniq6, this luxury performance SUV has plenty of interesting features. With fuel costs rising EVs are a quick fix for the pricing issues. We discuss the good and bad of the performance, handling, and technical features. Others to drive are the VW ID4, Mustang Mach E, BMW I4, Tesla Model Y, and Mercedes EQS.

[@heyitsbroski]

fentanyl floyd would have appreciated it.

[@marekd.7350]

Thanks for the pin my broskis. I've been itching to ask you to put some time into explaining how chassis rigidity is calculated. I always hear numbers like "23%" stiffer (example), but have a hard time imagining how that's calculated. Do manufacturers have jigs that measure torsional resistance of car chassis? That would make a nice subject for a technical episode.

[@tipnoel]

@@marekd.7350 Check the "stiffness" wikipedia article for the formulas of torsional/rotational/shear rigidity. Although it's not a complete answer as I'd assume those formulas would only work for a single beam of a chassis. On another note, I feel like it turned into another marketing catchphrase simply because of the fact that the average joe/jane doesn't even know what the term means or why you'd want a stiffer body structure and how it affects the overall driving experience.

[@DavidArnold67]

I googled stiffness and got in trouble at work

Best honest technical review on KZbin. I own a GV-60 for a week now. A real everyday delight. I have previously owned, BMW, AUDI, MERCEDES, PORSCHE and so far, the GENESIS is my favorite. All those guys said is true. Not a sports car, a bit scary in tight turns at speed. Definitely not a Macan. But this is not why I bought it. I don’t drive those tight turns. I am just happy to be in front of everyone in a straight line when needed, highway, red lights. The tech is out of this world, the ride smooth and peaceful. The sound system great when you tune it to your test properly. So for my taste and needs I give it a 9 out of 10. Know what you want and need. If your looking for a sports car and have the budget, go with the Taycan or wait for the electric Macan. Electric Macan should be a real delight. But at Porsche, options, service, all very expensive. GV-60 comes fully loaded. No options to pay. Super extensive 5 years warranty. I am happy !

[@shaunmckenna1923]

Very well said , I have a GV 60 love the car hard to find any fault with it its on parr with BMW, Audi , Mercedes and i think its snapping at the heals of the Taycan I have 2 friends with Taycan's they love them great car but the price is just too much for me.

[@kizzorama]

Maybe driving with the software aids on will make a big difference?

[@chap7360]

It’s been 8 months of driving now. Still loving it. So many things to love about it. I learned to drive it around tight curves and it’s much better than I thought in the beginning. This reviewer is totally off track regarding the facial recognition. It works 100%. No need to bend down at all like he acts in this video and it recognized you with sunglasses, with a hat, when it’s raining. And it is not a gimmick. Although I don’t need to use it everyday, I use it often enough to really appreciate it when I need it. The crystal sphere is also not a gimmick. On a review like this one, many items you cannot appreciate. Only daily use for while makes you appreciate many of the features in this car. I also disagree with his review of the sound system. Fiddling a little bit with the available tuning available, you will make it sound astounding. Especially that this cabin is so quiet. I have much more to say about this car but that’s it for today !

[@vapeking466]

They have probably had several software updates since the review.

[@deansmits006]

I love you guys. Highly entertaining, and you are cognizant of that. You come from a performance point of view, and acknowledge that fact, and set performance aside when appropriate. You appropriately apply measures of a vehicle to judge it, which many automotive journalists are not good at. So many will complain about performance, like they are comparing an SUV road handling to a sports car, when you should not do that. Mention it, then understand what the tool is for, and weight your score as needed. Great job. And the car is nice too

[@deansmits006]

For Hyundai/Genesis 1st Gen, long range EV, it's a great job. They kept good range, price, and performance to hit as many metrics for most people as possible. Can't wait to see 2nd gen in a couple years when they've honed skills to tune the chassis and electronics. Should make it a lot smoother at 85%+. As well as improving range/charging that much more

[@georgeparrott2302]

First Tesla Model S had around 253 miles range at 100%...back in 2012-13 when Superchargers were few and far between. Now with the wider distribution of DC fast chargers even this GV60 can cope with road trips (as long as the chargers in place ARE actually WORKING.

That's *the problem with all EVs* - they have to be *_"different"_* for no damn reason, just because it's an EV.

I recently compared the cost to purchase an Ioniq 5 limited v GV60 Advanced vs Tesla Model 3 LR. Each with premium paint , $19,000 down, a 6% tax rate and a 48mo 2.79% Credit union loan for the balance . Total cost Ioniq 5 = $66,632 GV60 = $66,378 Model 3 LR = $66,462 . I received my Model 3LR VIN shortly after I made those calculations and decided to postpone acting on the model 3LR. to me, luxury features are more important than the Model 3's superior engineering (and dismal fit and finish). I didn't include the all too frequent dealer mark up for the Ioniq 5 and GV60 which in my research in the PA/NJ area ran between 0 and $5,000. Note the total cost of a Mode/ 3 LR 36 mo 12K mile lease was almost $10,000 less than either the I5 or GV60. Now all I have to do is find a NJ GEnesis dealer that actually has a GV60 Advanced to take a test drive in.

A solid product from Genesis, albeit a little funky looking.

Genesis could make something to rival the i4 M50 either at the same price and offering more, or being similar but costing below $70K, since the i4 M50 tops out around $75K. Fingers crossed!

Realy good review from a drivers perspective. Sounds to me the lower trim level makes the most sense since you can't use that extra power safely anyway. I do think this car is kind of a beautiful mess and buyers should wait a few years to see what they do with this thing. Now if they would just take that crease out of the door of the Ionic 5 I might buy one. It would take too much bondo to make it look better.

[@georgeparrott2302]

The early versions of the Model S Tesla "performance" versions were "one trick ponies," as all they could do was short drag strip runs as the battery would overheat and the protection software would limit full power after about 3 minutes at high draw. No full "track laps" were actually possible on any longer track, but that simple "straight line" power got lots of publicity and led to considerable sales impact for Tesla. To me this seems like a very GOOD first effort and yes, should lead to much more well-rounded performance in the not too distant future for Genesis.

So if it was a blade, it’s been forged, just needs refinement and sharpening which takes time and precise care. Hope they get there!
