Performance & Drive
In town
Luxurious and refined. The GV60 feels premium in urban environments. The steering is light, visibility is good, and the tech features impress.
The crystal sphere gear selector adds theatre to the experience.
On the motorway
Excellent refinement. Quiet, comfortable, and composed at speed. The 800V charging capability makes long journeys practical.
On a twisty road
Surprisingly capable. The Sport Plus with 483hp is genuinely fast, and all versions handle well. It's more engaging than you'd expect from a luxury crossover.
Space & Practicality
Front seats
Outstanding seats in a stunning interior. The quality rivals German premium brands at every touchpoint. The rotating crystal gear selector is a highlight.

Adequate but the coupe roofline limits headroom. Legroom is good.

|---|---|

| Rear width | 2-3 adults |
Boot space
At 432 litres (plus 20L frunk), storage is adequate but behind larger rivals.

Outstanding. This is where the GV60 justifies its premium positioning. Materials, build quality, and design all impress.

The Verdict
The bottom line
The Genesis GV60 (2022-2023) offers genuine luxury on the E-GMP platform. It shares the Ioniq 5's brilliant charging capability but wraps it in a more premium package.
The limited dealer network and brand awareness are concerns. But for those wanting luxury EV features with 800V charging, it's excellent.
