Should You Buy a 2024 Genesis GV60? Thorough Review By A Mechanic

[@traviscampbell6081]

When comparing the Y to the GV60, I think you missed one key point - at least I didn't hear it - the Y is like driving a sled compared to the GV60. The suspension is just bad, the GV60 beats it easily in this department. So for me, better build quality, better ride, similar power, more comfortable interior, it's an easy win for the GV60. Plus you're not giving money to a turd.

[@oilerlord7367]

My wife and I test drove a GV60P a few weeks ago, and decided this will be our next EV. It's fun how people comment with their opinions and assumptions when their entire experience came from a 5" screen, or what another guy with a 5" screen wrote From experience: This is a beautiful car inside & out. The interior is particularly stunning. The GV60P is also viciously quick...yet quiet and luxurious at the same time Also from experience: I'll be waiting to buy a low-mileage, used one at 50% off MSRP

[@midgethobbit5243]

go ahead, no one asked. youll be the one paying for it anyway 😂

[@aiman1562]

Did u try a Tesla ? If so how does it compare? 🤔 Tesla Software I feel like is more future proof and best in class.

[@aiman1562]

I'd say test drive the new model 3. At least, since those refinement and quality improvements are coming to the model Y

[@GraysonA]

@@aiman1562 I test drove Model Y, ID.4, GV60, Ioniq 5, and EV6. I didn't want Tesla because I wanted cooled seats, motorized sunroof shade, rear window sunshades, physical buttons, luxury interior, V2L, heads up display, Android Auto/Apple Carplay for Waze, etc. I bought a 2023 GV60 Advanced for $51k. If I was buying today, I'd buy a used one with low mileage.

[@PetaPoly]

@@aiman1562 The Tesla Model Y is nowhere close to this car. Check out the Motor Trend KZbin comparison of the two. The Genesis beat the Tesla in 10 out of 10 categories.

[@beardenbob6567]

Love my '23 GV60P. My range and efficiency have been significantly better than expected for both routine commuting and longer distance highway driving but that's not really of concern to me and 10-20 minute top-off every couple hundred miles doesn't bother me one iota. I drive somewhat conservatively - I don't mash the throttle, but nor do I baby it. I think it's an overall amazing car, especially given the current deals. And I agree - the interior design and quality is rather exceptional and passengers both in the front and rear have praised its comfort and features on longer trips. Highly recommend it if it fits your lifestyle/region. I'm in CT, both Genesis dealers I've worked with here (purchase and subsequent routine service) have been excellent, so maybe I'm an outlier.

[@justatiger6268]

What a great review. No fuss, just practical, hands-on facts. And objective!

[@johneversen6348]

I've had mine for 16 months now and sitll love it. My charge speed seems to be faster than on this review. I have gone from 15% to 80% in 17 minutes. Electrify America sends an email summerizing the session so that is not a guess. It is a little higher priced but I feel it has been worth it. Some of that is still being at the beginning of a newer technology. In California, chargers are common so that has not been an issue. We had a 240 plug installed in the garage and I charge at home sometimes. It has been way cheaper than my previous SUV with a V8 - an Infiniti FX50. The overhead view on the camera, the suspension adjusting for bumps it senses in the road, the power and comfort, all mix for a great experience. I drove 4 different Teslas that freinds and family have. The interior noise, the poor build quality, the lack of intuitive controls, all were annoying. My previous V8 was quieter on the road than any of the Teslas at every speed. I have found the GV60 to be a redefinition of an EV.

Excellent review. I own one since a year and I love it. I really appreciate the sound system which is a Bang & Olufsen. Dealer service is perfect. The quality of the ride is fantastic without any noise or strange cracking. In winter time and snow storm this car is very safe. Just one thing is missing, the car has no gadget to clean up the front camera. It offer a VTL, which is very practical and useful.

[@mingorich]

Been driving about a year for gv60 standard rwd. Very comfy and elegant interior indeed. Range about 294 to 330 miles on the screen. Leased for 3y with three year free charging at electrify america. Of course no maintenance no mechanical problem. Things i don’t agree with ccn, 1. Quality of interior does affect you a long time, probably longest among other features. Elegant yet practical. Agree that this makes tesla a car from toysrus. 2. Backseat is quite roomy and the buttons for the passanger seat are my daughters favorite to adjust her ipad stand attached to the headrest. 3. Not expensive if you lease it with 3 year free charging. In fact, it would turn out to be cheaper compared to awd ioniq5 with only 2y free charging. Most don’t need more oomph than my rwd. 4.very fast charging and better range than my wife’s model y. Not sure why range was better in last winter., but gv60 charges much faster and cold impacted range noticeably less than model y.

[@sprockkets]

Hyundai batteries are more cobalt rich, and thus can charge faster and cold affects them less. Another way Tesla skimps on costs.

[@entasis.fifty-four]

The aspect that I give Hyundai, Kia and Genesis a lot of credit for is that they keep at it year-after-year. When Datsun, Toyota and Mazda first started importing to the States they were interesting, but awkward vehicles, but each brand kept at it and are where they are today because of it.

[@majicdude88]

Keep at it, yet don’t keep at fixing their issues since those same issues continue year after year and have kept continuing since 2010…

[@Nordestada]

@@majicdude88, that is exactly what exasperates me the most about a powerful company like Toyota; just to mention a company with a big reputation for reliabilty. They could be more reliable (same leaks no matter what model, and even Lexus models for decades), and put more attention to details like the rear bumper flutterings that could easily be taken care with a stiffening honeycomb or ridges design in the inside of the bumpers. I just do not understand it.

[@BocchiTheLock]

@@majicdude88 if only you knew how bad it really is. I’ll give you some examples: -theta,nu, gamma engine issues so bad they die and have a high risk of fire within 100k km -brake fluid leaks that have a high fire risk -turn signals connected backwards -seatbelts explode leading to major injury -tow hitches catch fire -EV so poorly designed a small bump to the bottom of the car can and will cause a write off by insurance (I’m talking on a $70k car) -smart stream engines made to replace the previous mentioned theta engine burn oil (their solution for this was to replace the dipstick so you think the oil is low and over fill the oil so it goes longer without running dry) -raided twice due to whistleblowers since the companies kept everything hidden though they knew about the problems -don’t honor warranty -caught using child labour in the US -Kia Boyz And that’s just a small list of their problems. Avoid Hyundai, Kia, Genesis at all costs

[@sprockkets]

The thing to remember about heat in Hyundai/Kia EVs are that they start the heat pump, but after a few moments will call for PTC heat to get it going quickly. The compressor will run very fast in low temps. But Tesla's cannot do that - in fact, they use the compressor windings as a heater, which is a bonkekrs stupid thing to do (being that I'm an AC tech) because that's how HVAC compressors die in the field! Second, Kia/Hyundai batteries don't even care about cold weather - they don't need heating unless below 0 F. Plus, any work you need to do on the Tesla system means you are removing refrigerant.

[@CraigScott-rx2sq]

This is not in the comparable to a Model Y as this is a luxury level car. This should be compared to a car from Audi, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes.

It's also faster than any EV not from Tesla, and Teslas are just glued together pieces of cardboard with no tactile buttons where the capacitive turn signals don't even work half the time on the new Highland models.

GV60 is a nice competition for the Tesla Model 3. It's smaller than the Model Y by a lot.

[@marklavine8088]

I dropped a model y for a 60 I see no big size difference and the 60 is way better built.

[@Antiguan_Dart]

4.515m length for the GV60 and 4.750m for the Tesla - that 23.5cm difference is realised mostly in boot space. 4 people’s camping stuff into model Y yeah- as some 500+L under the parcel shelf. Only 432L in the GV60! The longer GV70 4.715m has about the same interior cabin space but bigger boot at 504L. For me I wanted a shorter car and with only one child it was amble enough and eased UK city parking and multi-storey parking where parking spaces are not very big. The attractiveness of the cheaper price more powerful electrified GV70 is only curtailed by the absence of a Long range version- GV70 AWD no option and 283 miles WLTP cf GV60 RWD 321 miles! You makes your choice.

[@marklavine8088]

@Antiguan_Dart yes but car length does not equal space. I can for sure say the 60 felt like more space although the frunk is laughable. This could be things like the 60 having much more space in between driver and passenger as well

I would love more information on how this continuously adjustable damper works. I've got Mag-ride in my C7 Z51 and I understand how it works (voltage changes the shock's fluid viscosity, car rides stiffer or softer) but I have not heard much about the GV60s suspension. It uses a camera to scan the road then somehow changes the suspension damping? but how? I don't need a bigger vehicle like the Y... I like that this is smaller, more like a hot-hatch then an CUV.

These charge extremely quickly. 10-80% charge in 18minutes. Edmunds just calculated the EV6 and Ioniq5 (this car’s sisters) to charge at 769miles per hour.

If you're gonna buy an EV, it should be: #1 INEXPENSIVE. #2 from a company that has a long history. Any company can go out of business 3 or 4 years down the road, but you're best buying from a company with a track record. #3 from a company with good maintenance and repair history. (I trust Cadillac). HYUNDAI/ KIA are low key dominating the affordable "premium" EV market. I say premium because these aren't truly "luxury" cars, but they are higher quality than the cheapest economy EV. Tesla is constantly battling Hyundai/Kia with lower prices.

California plates

[@craigcraigster4999]

That isn't an ordinary CA plate (plate, not plates) but rather a CA distributor plate, with "distributor" defined in CVC § 296 as "any person other than a manufacturer who sells or distributes new vehicles subject to registration under this Code . . . to dealers in this state and maintains representatives for the purpose of contacting dealers or prospective dealers in this state." The fact that this GV60 wears such a plate, while AMD's shop is located in the greater Chicago area, most likely means that this is a press vehicle supplied through the manufacturer for public relations/testing and review purposes. Genesis Motor America is headquartered in Fountain Valley (CA) which further explains the presence of a CA distributor plate on this particular vehicle. Although no longer owned by GMA (manufacturer) because of the DST plate designation, it also indicates that an MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin) has yet to be assigned for this vehicle to a selling dealership's inventory, which is why this particular plate carries the "DST" designation and not "DLR". 😎

imagine going on a trip and having to stop for almost an hour every 200 miles.

Bathroom, plus snacks, coffee, being a tourist at some overlook, etc - the point being lots of people waste time on drives already. Not everyone is a hyper-miler. I have both a newer EV and an ICE vehicle. They have trade offs for sure. Both are totally fine for 260-300 mile trips. Above 300 miles or up a pass, you obviously take the ICE vehicle. But the EV shines as a commuter in my day to day. Stopping for almost an hour every 200 miles isn’t an accurate depiction for most EV drivers unless they have an entry level, lower range, and lower inverter capacity on their vehicle like a Chevy bolt, Kia Niro, or Nissan Leaf. In any case, buy the car that fits your lifestyle.

​@@aviationtherapy9898but for an hour?? Drive 2.5 hours stop for one, drive for 2.5 hours , stop for one. Crazy. 8 hour drive becomes 11 hours if you factor in charging... This holds me back from going fully EV

I adore EVs but the battery pack replacement costs is just stupid! i guess it’s half of the price of the vehicle!

@@GraysonA All if them probably depends on how they’re being treated but it’s expensive as i investigated.

@@e.o9470 Teslas have been around since 2015 and I rarely hear about battery pack replacement, and those were old batteries. With today's batteries, it will probably be 15-20 years before the batteries need to be replaced, and we won't even want our cars any longer by then lol

I've been hearing Ionic 5 battery packs cost over $50,000. EVs depreciate like cell phones. I keep meeting early adopters, who ruined their finances with EV depreciation. If you really must have an EV, pay cash, and lucky dip the used market. Buy a house before you start trading EVs. Too many EV owners are now claiming it's "unfair" that they now can't afford a home. The current inflation, is a primary feature of our "transition". Inflation will be bad for 2 or 3 decades. We built our prosperity, and lifted ourselves out of poverty, with affordable vehicles, and easy access to fuel. Now we're undoing that prosperity, for an environmental lie. The worst polluting vehicle is one that breaks down a lot, or is un-fixable. China has huge EV grave yards, full of almost new EVs. They don't fix EVs, they swap them out....just like cell phone manufactures.

[@hondajacka2]

Heck No 71k for a Genesis EV.

Completely agree. That's why I bought a GV60 Advanced for $50k. Do that, or go for a CPO.

Anyone who buys an EV is insane. Better to light your BBQ grill with $100 bills. Lucid is giving theirs away with $650 a month leases on $95K cars; same with Mercedes----can walk out with an EQE that cost double what an TLX costs for the same exact lease payment. Or try a Toyota BZ4X; that is so unpopular you can lease one for $169 a month!
