First impression: a modern show-off with quiet confidence

The Genesis GV60 looks like a compact premium SUV that decided to dress up for a launch party: a low, sculpted roofline, a closed front "crest" treatment and sleek lighting give it presence without shouting. With a length of 4,545 mm and width of 1,890 mm it fills the kerbside without feeling oversized for city parking. Design touches are more coupe than traditional boxy SUV, so it reads sporty at a glance while still offering practical hatchback access. On the road the GV60’s styling translates into a car that turns heads but remains understated compared with some flashier rivals.

Inside: premium materials, clever details

The cabin leans heavily on tactile luxury — soft leather-like surfaces, crisp seams and balanced use of metal and gloss trims give a genuinely upscale feel. Technology is integrated rather than dominant, with a clean instrument panel, a substantial central screen and a rotary drive selector that keeps the centre console uncluttered. Small but thoughtful extras, like ambient lighting and optional biometric access, reinforce the premium intent and make everyday interaction feel special. Fit and finish are competitive with European rivals, offering a quieter, better-appointed interior than many mainstream SUVs.

Practicality: roomy boot and usable rear seats

Space is one of the GV60’s strengths: it seats five and the cargo area starts at a respectable 680 litres, expanding to 1,460 litres with the rear seats folded for weekend gear or larger loads. Rear headroom is slightly affected by the sloping roofline, but knee room is good and adults can sit comfortably for moderate distances. The compact exterior dimensions make it easy to park around town while the generous boot volume keeps long trips and family errands straightforward. Overall the layout prioritises everyday usability over odd design compromises.

On the move: composed, with a sporty streak

The GV60’s platform gives it a low centre of gravity and balanced feel that suits both relaxed cruising and brisk driving; steering is precise enough to feel confident in corners while remaining comfortable in town. Genesis offers multiple drivetrain setups, so performance spans from relaxed to rapid — manufacturer acceleration figures range from about 7.8 seconds to 100 km/h for the entry units down to roughly 4.0 seconds for the hottest version, and torque figures climb accordingly for strong mid-range thrust. Rear-wheel-drive models bias poise and agility, while all-wheel-drive variants add traction and sharper acceleration at the cost of some extra weight. Braking and regen systems are well-calibrated for predictable one-pedal driving, making traffic and motorway work straightforward.

Range and consumption: practical for real life

Under the sheet-metal the GV60 uses an 84 kWh battery and manufacturer consumption numbers sit roughly between 16.7 and 19 kWh/100 km, which correspond to quoted ranges of about 501–561 km depending on drivetrain and power. In everyday terms, the rear-wheel-drive, lower-power variants deliver the longest range and are best for buyers who prioritise efficiency and long trips, while the high-output models trade some range for significantly sharper performance. Real-world consumption will vary with weather, speed and driving style, but the GV60’s figures are competitive and mean most users can expect comfortable day-to-day driving plus reasonable long-distance capability. Charging behaviour and public charger availability remain the key practical variables for longer journeys.

Tech and safety: comprehensive, thoughtfully executed

Genesis outfits the GV60 with a broad suite of driver assistance features including adaptive cruise, lane-centring and blind-spot interventions that make motorway driving less fatiguing and city commutes safer. The infotainment system pairs a clear digital instrument cluster with a large central touchscreen, smartphone integration and over-the-air update capability so the car can improve without a visit to the dealer. Biometric touches such as fingerprint and facial recognition are available as convenience and security enhancements that work in daily use rather than as mere gimmicks. Overall the package feels modern and well-integrated, matching the premium positioning of the car.

Who should consider the GV60?

The GV60 suits buyers who want a premium electric compact SUV with strong design, a high-quality interior and a range of power options from efficient to very sporty. It appeals to style-conscious drivers who still need trunk space for family life or weekend activities, and to those who value a composed chassis with engaging handling more than sheer badge prestige. For long-distance commuters the higher-range rear-wheel-drive variants are the pragmatic choice, while enthusiasts will appreciate the top-spec models for their brisk acceleration and sharper responses. The GV60 offers a convincing alternative to established luxury EVs by balancing practicality, tech and driving flair without overreaching.
