This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new Genesis GV60 full electric luxury crossover. We are driving the Performance AWD model with a 320 kW electric motor, 429 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque. With Boost Mode the power jumps temporarily for 10 seconds to 483 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. It comes with a 77.4 kWh battery and offers up to 378 km/248 miles of EV range. Also available is the Genesis GV60 Advanced AWD model with a 234 kW electric motor, same sized 77.4 kWh battery, 314 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque. It has up to 399 km/235 miles of EV range. The interior in our test model is open and comfortable, it feels very upscale with Nappa leather seats with quilting in ash gray and glacier white, a microfibre suede headliner and unique details like the crystal sphere gear shifter and a floating centre console. For $71,000 CAD/$59,290 USD, the base GV60 Advanced model comes with 20” wheels, dual 12.3” screens, a heat pump, wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto, head-up display, wireless charger, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, power front seats with driver seat memory, Nappa leather seating surfaces, heated rear seats, an 8-speaker audio system, available 17 speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system in Canada, standard in the US, a fixed glass roof with power shade and a handsfree power liftgate. Moving up to the Genesis GV60 Performance model for an extra $8,000 CAD/$9,000 USD opens you up to a few more features like 21” wheels, a sport-tuned electronically controlled suspension, 18-way power driver seat instead of 14-way, manual rear side sunshades, surround view monitor, blind spot view monitor and remote park. With a Level 2 charger the GV60 can fully charge in just over 7 hours and with a DC Fast Charger, it can charge from 10-80% in just 18 minutes. The GV60 has a vehicle to load function (V2L) which is basically a charger on wheels, it can power small appliances, devices, EVs or electric bicycles.

What I appreciate most about Andrea and Zack's reviews are the level of honesty they offer on every aspect of the vehicle they are in. It is refreshing to watch an automotive review which leaves me informed after watching it. Kudos on the good work.
Our pleasure!
Wow, thank you so much!
Agreed. Truthful and thorough.
@@PHOTOCONVENTION 🙏
Agreed!
GV60 Performance AWD. 💪🏻😎
I know this is an odd comment but this is my favourite "colour" video on motormouth. The colour of the car, Andreas outfit, Zack's shirt and the sunroof screen all coordinated perfectly! I'll show myself out now...
Fantastic car well done genesis.
I am soooo happy with mine. I got it 2 weeks ago.
Congratulations, happy to hear it, enjoy your new GV60.
Congrats on the new car! I could clearly hear the electric motors in the video, is it annoying while actually driving or does the recording and play back of the video exaggerate it?
@@ghenry85 , I would like to know too.
I can say that it is not annoying for me. Have been driving it for month. The cabin IS super quiet. The only time when it's a bit annoying when you are above 120kmph where you can hear little wind noise near the windshield. But, other than that this has quietest of the cabins I have been in. Also, you can have custom sounds, even an engine.
@@bhanuverma9324 , thank you for the info. I think, some people are more sensitive to things than others. When I played a famous car-racing game some years ago, I liked the Audi supercar, but I hated the sound. The cars' sounds in the game were supposed to be close to the actual sounds.
Definitely a good looking vehicle.
Cool ! finally.... been waiting for that one! Thanks!!!
Good to hear it, thank you!
Andrea likes the “boost” button. 😊
I’m waiting for gv70 ev
I sure do, it's pretty fun!
Another informative video with some fun thrown in! I really appreciate how your reviews really consider the wider market and how the vehicle in question compares.
I’ve been waiting for this review! Thanks guys!
IMO That’s the best looking EV on the market ! 🔥
Thanks for your work, guys. Great review. As always!
Another great video, guys!
I stopped watching when you said range of the car. With that size of battery and price tag, I expect higher efficiency.
You guys are sooooooo close to hitting 250k subscribers. You gotta put it in S people. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Totally put it in S!!! Here's to 250,000 🥂
The number of views for each video is the most important. Some people ("I know this from a friend") have a bunch of subscriptions, but don't watch the videos regularly.
This new Genesis looks absolutely captivating. It is clearly a ‘step up’ from the Hyundai/KIA offerings (both which I like), which is great. And I think it is designed to tackle Cadillac’s Lyric head-on in terms of price, quality and look (futuristic?). The Germans and Tesla are still in a similar category, but are targeting different markets… electrically driven is about where the similarities end. Genesis definitely appears to be establishing itself as the brand to follow by creating their own unique path. Perhaps the truest definition of the word genesis itself, by being the…. “origin or coming into being”. Hopefully the buying public will agree… how couldn’t they? Thanks for the video.
A quarter of a Million subscribers is right around the corner (today?), so … have a great weekend and many Congratulations! Thanks for all the great work/videos. Cheers!
German electric vehicles are not at a high level compared to Koreans. In addition, German electric vehicles use Korean batteries and electronic systems. Electric vehicles are not internal combustion engine vehicles.
What's wrong with the door handles? I like how they pop out and there is no scratching inside of where the handle is. Also it is very easy to tell if it is locked or not. Compared to Model 3/Y much better, but standard ones I think these are just fine, however, you used them, not me, so what was the main issue with them? Great little car, I have to check out the GV60/70, but with no dealers around makes me think twice... Maybe a Kia or Hyundai dealer service them?
I like the handles, too. But, it may some time feel fragile. Even though they are not.
About the dealership, Genesis is pseudo hosted in some cities within Hyundai workshops but have multiple dealerships in cities like Vancouver. Also, it comes with 5 years scheduled maintenance where they pick up and drop the vehicle for service. And also provide a replacement for that time.
Very good as usual.
Interesting information about terning radious.
What about real leather and practicality of white interiors in general?
I love the looks of this!
I've been waiting for this review 👍
You guys have helped me put the GV60 on my list.
Hi Zack and Andrea from Australia . Always enjoy your reviews. I had ordered a GV70 3.5 but was told it wa going to be another 6 months from the expected delivery. This was going to be my last Petrol car.
I had seen good reports on the GV60 overseas and the cousins EV6 and Ionic 5 had had great reviews ( and Car of the Year ) in Australia . I managed to snaffle a cancelled order Navy / White GV60 Advanced. I have not been disappointed. I love it ! ( Previous car was Lexus NX - the new NX didn’t grab me).
In Australia both the Advanced and Performance are fully specified. I get 20 inch wheels and standard suspension - the Performance gets 21 inch and adaptive
Suspension plus the boost button. I don’t think this is worth an extra 11k. By the way we get the digital wing mirrors inside and little cameras outside.
The Advanced is quick, smooth and rides well even over our potholed roads here in Brisbane. Looks are subjective but people do stop you and ask you what it is ! Love the tech and interior especially in white !
5 year warranty and free concierge service too.
Early days yet but very happy as a first time EV owner.
Keep up the good work !
Steve
Wow, thanks Steve, we appreciate you sharing this. Congratulations on your GV60, it's so good to hear you are loving it.
Thanks Andrea. Btw love your area in Vancouver. We were there in 2018 and Vancouver (and BC) is just beautiful - even though it rains a lot!
I like the video presentation,I’m sure about the longevity of the electric vehicle. Thanks for make look nice
Enjoy your videos. How was the mincemeat pie?
It looks awesome and perfect to me
great video!!!!
I note @14:20 you mentioned there is up to 339Km range. I have a performance GV60 which I charge to 90% each night, currently, it reads just over 405km range. When I smash it all the time, that estimated range falls, but otherwise if charged to 100%, it should show over 440km of range.
Otherwise, this was a very fair and balanced review. I would like to see audio commands outside of android auto and apple car play, levers for dropping the back seats in the boot area, and it needs some software tweaks like allowing you to not lock the charger whilst charging. It is very comfortable to drive, and a great package overall.
The front looks good but IDK why the back part reminds of the back of a platypus
Hello from Vancouver Island. Great review I have had my GV 60 for 3 months I have driven 10K klm love the car I have the Advance model I wanted range over the boost button in the summer I was getting on average 480 klm per charge I did get as high as 512 on a couple of occasions . I agree with of most of your review the only change I wish they would make is to have the sliding console like the Ionoq 5 also make it a little deeper, rear view window no problem keeping it clear I drove to long trips one to the US in heavy rain and one to Penticton in snow and ice I never had to clean the rear window . Range was about 25% less in the cold and charging quite lot slower I did notice the fan on high will drop your range big time so we would keep the heat at 22c and the heated seats on and the fan in the auto mode that really made a difference. Now I do have 2 problems with mine passenger heated seat switch does not stay on I have to fiddle with to make it work and the other is no snow mode I have talked to Genesis they tell they is a snow mode you just hold the mode button down but it does not work on mine they put me on hold went outside checked 3 other cars and they found out that NONE of there cars had snow mode they were very confused and they are going to get back to me this week, Do you have a GV 60 yourself have you heard of this with anyone else ? I love this very happy with it also I was very lucky to get as I have the Ioniq 5 on order now for over 1 year but a GV 60 can available in Victoria so I jumped at it yes quite a lot more money than the Ioniq 5 but for me worth every dollar. Thanks again for your review.
Zack, right on with your take on the exterior styling.
Reminds me of a lace less Sketcher shoe. Looks good but something just not right…
thanks for the video. can make a video of gv60 Advanced.
Before we know it the Koreans will be making a vehicle in the $100k range. They've come a long way.
Great review as always Zack and Andrea
They already do. Genesis G90.
Quick Question. I really wanted the Ionic 5 but i was able to get deposits for GV60 both Performec and Advanced - the price point on the advanced is much lower vs the performence and would love to get a review of what the difference is between the 2?
I would be interested in how the GV60 compares with the Cadillac Lyriq.
I always prefer Genesis but they really need a longer range option. For ICE vehicles, the goal is usually a minimum of 500 KM range and that should be the goal of all EVs too.
@TrueFact Haha...not buying any of that! ;)
@TrueFact so you spend $80 grand to rent another car to go on a road trip vacation 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep in mind a long range battery is a lot of weight to carry around for 95% of errand and work commutes. You’d only utilize a quarter of the battery most of the time.
@@colingoldthorpe5918 like a 90k sports car that only gets driven in summer and stored for winter.
Regarding the lack of a rear wiper, one thing you could do is use a hydrophobic coating on the glass (either all windows or mainly the rear). That type of a treatment is getting more common.
GV 60 and EV6 is no problem. Why?
See the shape. Think about sedan..
How about to review the G80 electric? The gv60 great small car.
We are getting it next week to drive, we pick it up on Monday.
@@andreaspencer9813 I think you will have a great time and you will get a new garrage 😜
@@BertrandRacicot lol! Looking forward to it!
Nice review as usual. Makes me think that the next design trend should be square backs. Can't wait for the Volvo V90 e-performance wagon.
Great video entertainment again.
It must be a dilemma for designers catering for the spec chasers where decisions have to be made between rear seat room or bigger boot space.
Beautiful vehicle (It’s remind me of GM mozza back in late 70’s) but the door handle still open in last part of your video makes me think something wrong with it. Interior looks cool. I agree with Zack about this shifter, it might not be a good idea. Great video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's really well done, whoever buys it will be happy with all the luxury it offers.
@@andreaspencer9813 I agree!
Nice car. Shame it won’t be available in my country.
Loving the steering wheel in this one! Looks somehow like a Mini steering wheel.
It's fantastic, so happy Genesis went with a sportier steering wheel.
7:55 Are those orange-clad high voltage cables? Why are they accessible within the cabin?
It has a Porsche look to it. I like it.
Heck nohhh! You cannot confuse a porsche with genesis. Omg
How long does it take to charge (in real life)?
Love Genesis car models Andrea. They are so stylish to look at both outside and inside. Ridiculous amount of spec, who needs to buy large with the European big badge luxury heavy weights.
Genesis has been putting out some great vehicles, we were really impressed with the GV70 when we drove it and this GV60 is no exception. But, we still haven't found the perfect EV yet, still waiting....
@@andreaspencer9813 Absolutely Andrea, it's been interesting following their development in recent years. Yes both you and Zack do say you haven't found the perfect EV yet, but are you getting closer do you think?
You can hear a constant pitch that seems to go up with speed in parts of your video, (around 4:10 to 5:00 and 15:35 and again 16:40 minutes in) that's not talked about. It's loud enough to hear in your video, so much for a quiet cabin! Is that a Hyundai EV thing, or specific to this vehicle?
“S for Sport”? IT’S S FOR SUBSCRIBE!!!😂
I just don't see this as a $70k vehicle 😕 I would rather save money and buy a top trim GV70
Zack's face when u called the GV60 sexy😂
Is there a rearview mirror cam option coming? Might help there.
Yes, quite an oversight when versions of the Bolt have it at a fraction of this price
I really like this car. The outside does remind me of an old Lexus RX 300, but the inside gives me a retro 50s feel and I love the color on the exterior. In comparison to the Cadillac Lyriq I am not sure if it is equal
Excellent review that I always appreciate. The GV60 is a beautiful Electric SUV however, the only downside and disappointment I have is the range. 230 miles is just too short and I do a lot of inter-state travel. In this case, the GV60 will save so much on gas, but on the other hand, I will be charging the vehicle most of the time and spending so much time at the charging station. If only Genesis increased the range to a minimum of at least 300 miles I would probably consider it.
It does have the same 800V architecture and if you plan well, you don't really have to spend much time charging. It charges super quick. Although, you do need to enable pre conditioning to get most out of it.
So how badly does the “Boost” button diminish the range?
I really liked your video, as I like all your EV videos. I look forward to you two getting your hands on an AWD Lyriq for comparison. I feel like it will own it's price point. The slightly lower price point (eligible for rebates in Canada), is owned by Hyundai and Kia.
Thank you very much, glad you are enjoying our reviews. We are really looking forward to driving the Lyriq too, love the tech in it.
Love this car but at 70k, I’m out. Holy crap man, how did cars get so expensive.
Can you place a set of men golf club accross the back of the boot.
So, is it better than the gv70 ev?
"I like it ALOT😂!" Jim Carrey voice
I enjoy your reviews and have a lot of respect for them. For this one, I wish it was reviewed against the LYRIQ instead of the other Korean models. Hoping you get your hands on one soon.
I agree about the handles. Gimmicky and dumb. I also agree about the rear wiper. It needs one if you live in a rainy or snowy climate. What were they thinking? The rest is a nice pkg, although it would be nice to have a bit more range.
Totally agree. The Ioniq 5 also has no rear wiper. That wouldn't fly here in Alberta for 8 months of the year ❄️😅
Since all these EVs weigh 5000 lbs.+ and have so much torque, especially on take-off, how long do the tires on these cars last, and how much to replace them every time you wear them out? Are they different tires than on an ice auto?
My friend had Tesla Y with performance packages plus 21 inches wheels. OMG it's whooping $6k for new tires in Canada. I chose 19" in my Y and it's about $1500-1700 a set
Wow, Mustang GT numbers!
Wired Apple and Android?
Once we allow rear camera view in place of rear view mirror, the obstruction created by the spoiler will not be an issue. Govt must adapt. Autopilot is probably a better driver than MANY humans, and great video 'mirrors' are probably better than minimum acceptability rear and side glass mirrors.
Id get lime with blue interior
Lime was discontinued to f‘ck everybody over who likes cool colors.
Car company’s need to invest more in lightweight materials and worry less about Ev horsepower. I’d be interested what would happen if they lowered the weight/size of the wheels, lose the heavy glass roof and try to get more plastic or composite materials to see how it affects rage.
You would need to reduce the total mass (yes, mass) 20 or 25%. If this was something simple to do, it would have been done already. I used to work in automotive engineering and I can assure you the engineers are smarter than most people, not more stupid then most people. Besides that, the production cost is always a huge factor.
@@michaels3003 agreed, glass roofs really aren't that heavy, but smaller wheels tend to improve ride quality and efficiency
Looks like a Tesla Cypertruck with no rear wiper, straight led strip across the back and truck turning radius. The crystal gear ball looks Harry Potter inspired and the adaptive suspension looks bouncey in the back seat. The boost button is ideal for rocket man, they could sell this one in North Korea.
What happened to the range at this price?
This is a stylish sporty vehicle, not a long-range vehicle.
the Korean cousins are all in with the electric vehicles they are coming out with...and suspect more are in the wind...I like the looks..kinda sporty and the interior...less the white carpet is really top notch..and who doesn't like a sexy back end🤓..the electric vehicle race is on..and consumers are hopefully going to be a the winners..now to get the grid up to capacity too
Ok, you guys have a fantastic channel here, and your reviews are second to none. On a completely different note, I’m pretty sure all your viewers would agree, man, you hit the wife lottery, keep on doing whatever it is you’re doing because you have won the game of life. Again love your stuff.
It does have an odd shape. Not a cuv, not a hatchback, not a sedan but almost a mix. Sort of reminds me of Nissan Juke
How often do I do wide open throttle… lol moreeeee than some might say I should
As soon as u said 248 miles range (not factoring in weather, a/c use, electronics use, friction etc) I crossed off my list. It is a shame in 2022, EV's to not have a 300+ miles range. 250 miles range simply is not enough.
If you invent **same size** battery pack with let's say 25% more energy capacity, please contact the manufacturer.
In the U.S. the average American drives 30-40 miles daily to and from work combined. With the convenience of home charging and not going to a gas station, why would this range really matter? It’s like plugging your phone in to charge overnight. Same thing. Are you going on road trips every other day? Again, this is the AVERAGE for most Americans. With the AVERAGE in mind, you wouldn’t even need to charge every day if plugging a cable in at HOME is such an inconvenience. Oh the horror! But this only applies to those that have single family homes. If you live in an apartment complex or condo and have to share charging stations or find it elsewhere, then I can see this range absolutely being an issue.
Well yeah, its not enough if you regularly drives on the highway/do long trips. But do you really need that 200+ miles of range on a daily basis?
I thought the same but think charging times definitely compensates that on road trips (daily driving it’s a mute point). 20min rest after 3hrs driving is my ratio so as long as it can do that comfortably.
@@michaels3003 It's not about 25% or whatever capacity increase but weight to energy ratio and transfer efficiency that make the difference. I will make sure to send you first the specs of the battery that I will invent and then patent it and send it to the manufacturers. But unfortunately the US Department of Energy has already done that. Yes, not the Koreans or the Chinese but our scientists. All solid state SODIUM (salt) batteries with a glassy electrolyte as a catalyst formed at room temperature, which has no loss of energy percentage bc there is no temperature deviation. As simple as it comes. TH-cam (or social media platforms) is not the place to debate such subjects so I am going to stop. I am only going to add this: Panasonic, Samsung, Tesla etc lithium battery producing companies need billions to change their manufacturing to go to solid state SODIUM batteries. Classic example, while we were paying $5.00 a gallon Exxon and BP were making record profits. Change costs!!! And lithium-ion requires cobalt also. And it's kids in the Congo that mine that precious metal so we can enjoy our inefficient batteries. Salt/sodium is everywhere. But there is not much profit in mining it.
I have an issue with electric vehicle's in Ontario. Our premier doesn't offer any EV rebates to coincide with the $5,000.00 from the federal government. Despite the push towards electrification, Doug Ford hasn't budged on anything. Makes buying an electric vehicle in Ontario very difficult, especially since they're more expensive than gasoline powered vehicles.
Like the way this car looks went to the dealership and the mark ups here in California are ridiculous 😢
I thought this is an online-only MSRP-is-fixed car? Or is that just in Europe?
Seems kind of dumb they didn't do a camera review mirror. Would have taken care of the rear visibility issue.
Exactly, and versions of the Bolt have it for about half the cost! :)
I was laughing because Andrea right at the start went to change gear with her right hand and realised it was just left hanging there........old habits die hard. : )
Absolutely, forgot the drive modes were on the steering wheel!!! lol!
Congratulations on 250k subscribers. I think that I'd take an Ioniq 6 over the GV60
Thank you very much!
It's appealing as a luxury car.
Was I the only one that cpuld hear the (what I found to be very obvious) electric motor whine?
Yes! I was wondering what that was!
No, you were not the only one. Hopefully, this issue will be addressed in the future.
No. That's a synthetic sound you can select. They have4 options to choose from including no sound. Below 20kmph though, that sound is very prominent which is a regulatory requirement.
I noticed after watching the review and then drove my car to confirm. It's cabin IS super quiet.
@@bhanuverma9324 Thank you for the insight. My hybrid will make an artificial noise when backing and below 35ish kph when the engine isn't running.
In the video it does sound alot like electric motor noise, which had me curious.
Way off on styling Zack. Try the Cheetah, or Infiniti's FX, or better yet Jag's E-type. Long hoods and bodies, with strong short haunches 😉
At 10:41, it looks like the Hyundai Veloster N 😋
Looking at this for 81yo M-I-L. She wants a green replacement for 2016 G80. She can't see over the hood of the G80, so she isn't comfortable parking it. Her model is from before the 360 camera tech was available, or it is an option they didn't know they wanted in 2016. She wants a plush car, and the EV pioneers are building Gen Z target market cars with spartan / vegan interiors, and harsh rides. Maybe this is the right fit. Comfy up front for 2. Room for the spoils of shopping in the back. Even the grandkids are driving, so she doesn't need much rear seat room.
i wanna buy genesis gv60 and drive it as uber Black. i search in google about uber black list. i searched many different way but i don't see gv60 as uber black. it says only uber-x. my gal fren telling me to go with tesla model y but it's more expensive. i like gv60 and my financial can offer only for gv60 advanced
Crystal orb
Lol. you gotta get over the door handles. they are fine. no issues. better aerodynamics
That color is very 1950s old time USA.
Is there better noise isolation than in Ionic?....all I care about. Other than that it's a senior citizen car
I love the look of this one!
But I won't be buying any electric vehicle until they get the batteries right. There's no way I'm paying for a new battery/installation 3 to 5 years in and paying one third to half the price of the car.
Where did you hear such a ludicrous BS 😅
@@geraldh.8047 I have 2 sisters that work at a car dealership where the dealership owner owns many dealerships of all the main brands. My one sister is the parts manager and has reported on many occasions of vehicles coming in to have the battery replaced and the final invoice for the work is between $20,000 to $30,000 CAD (approx.$14,500 to $21,800 US).
So no. Not ludicrous BS.
You can Google to topic and will find similar number$.
Such nice cars and all getting more powerful but should b beted to old people cuz they won't go over 45mph and new Yorkers specially don't even know how to merge to highways at all these cars r so powerful but these people go between 25 and 45 mph
Very unique looking car. I don't think it looks like anything on the road.
Lack of regular door handles are a show stopper.
I'm with Zach on the rear end look! It looks like the end of an egg and is missing a little bit of length! Nice vehicle if you are driving it though!
This is still an example of a vehicle that doesn't serve as a replacement for the most popular (SUV) family hauler. This doesn't have either the size or range needed. This is only for 2 or 3 car households.
Viability, range, door handles. Well onward with my search.
US tax break...back to hybrids for me.
I can hardly wait for the power grid disruptions impact.
Gas pumps don't work when there are power distributions, but some people will be able to charge their EV with home solar panels
Dame I don't want to sound like girl but that interior looks beautiful
Dashboard is awful, I cannot stand rectangular stuck on screens, such a beautiful interior spoiled by lazy, gimmicky looking tablet. Great review, thank you.
Why did they make it so weird-looking? All other Genesis models look great, but in this one the grill (thats obviously not needed), slipped down to the bumper and that just doesnt look right. Would always go for EV6, same techonology much better looks
Aviator you have right Now is a much better option even though it’s a hybrid
ford should have thrown lincoln into the same grave as mercury ...instead, the idiots sold volvo...🙄
Are they going after Bently?
