The GV60 is appealing in that it's luxurious, decently fun to drive and looks unique. However, the GV70 Electric is all all of those things and more practical to boot.

Pros: Exceptional tech; distinctive interior design; ample standard features; comfy ride; hatchback versatility; bold colors Cons: A $60,000 hatchback won’t be for everyone; poor value relative to Hyundai and Kia siblings; iffy range The 2023 Genesis GV60 is the third, luxury-oriented take on the same excellent electric car platform found in the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 (the Ioniq 6 will be the fourth). Given its luxury badge and market position, the GV60 raises the bar from its siblings in terms of performance, features content and interior quality. Frankly, none of the above are exactly issues for its siblings, which is perhaps the GV60’s greatest issue. Although impressive in a vacuum, we’re not sure it raises the bar far enough, especially when its lofty price point puts it in line with a BMW i4 and other luxury-branded EVs. That’s not to say that Genesis can’t stand toe-to-toe with older luxury marques in terms of delivering actual luxury. Far from it. Its interior ambience, quality and technology can be superior. Infotainment and safety tech in particular are incredibly well executed, and are joined by novel features like facial recognition entry and fingerprint starting. Indeed, you don’t need a key to get underway in a GV60. Just look at the B pillar from the outside and the door will unlock; once in the driver seat, put your finger on a spot on the center console and watch as the strange glowing orb on the center console rotates 180 degrees to reveal a rotary shift knob. It’s fancy, futuristic stuff that’ll make your friends go “oooooh.” Instead, we wonder if the typical American luxury shopper (and their friends) is going to be wowed by what is effectively a midsize hatchback that starts at $60,000 and tops out at $70,000. Genesis may market the GV60 as a “crossover,” but in person, it totally looks like a hatchback. That might be a tough sell compared to an i4 or a Tesla, and worse, it doesn’t go as far on a charge as those. Interior & Technology   |   Passenger & Cargo Space   |   Performance & Range What it's like to drive   |   Pricing & Trim Levels   |   Crash Ratings & Safety Features What's new for 2023? The GV60 is an all-new model this year. What are the GV60 interior and in-car technology like? If the exterior is a bit weird and not exactly what one expects from a $60,000 luxury car, the interior is absolutely what one should expect from a $60,000 luxury car. Materials quality is excellent, from the fanciful switchgear (people just love the rotating shift orb) to the leather covering most surfaces up front. We especially like the unique Torrent Navy leather interior with Sao Paulo Lime accents you see above. You’re definitely not getting that in a Tesla. Very cool. The GV60 has a slightly different tech interface than other Genesis models as well as its E-GMP siblings from Hyundai and Kia. The huge 12.3-touchscreen unit is the same and the …
