I rented this car on Turo, I’m hooked. I’ll be picking mine up in a few days. Personally, I like running it in full regen, one pedal mode - I find that super precise for me. But if you like it in level 0, I guess that’s why they made it adjustable (unlike Tesla), we can all be happy. By the way, the regen doesn’t always restart in level 1, it will stick in level 1, 2, or 3. I wish it would stick in one pedal, but it’s just a quick flick of the paddle whenever you switch into drive. This car is so fast, smooth and quiet it’s like a magic carpet. So fun.
I really really really was excited for this car when I heard about it. I just wish it had a more traditional gv design. The gv line is easily one of my all time fav car lineup.
Great comprehensive review. Thanks. Had mine two years now almost to the day and still love it. The ergonomics and interior plushness are fantastic. Over the ionic 5 and EV6 are:- Noise cancellation for a super quiet interior, doubled glazed glass all-round for further noise isolation, the click wheel controller, the logo puddle lights, the modernised UI of the infotainment system, the B&O stereo option, the crystal sphere gear shift, the suede-like and Nappa leather interior options, the powered front seat bolsters, the two way closing panoramic sunblind, keyless/phoneless entry via face recognition, over the EV6 reclining rear seats- I’m sure I’ve missed some but not an inconsiderate list. If buying for the long term that 800V architecture and full OTA updates function makes the extra cash for the extra comfort a worthy consideration.
I think upcoming ioniq7 (3-row) will sprout the basis for the : 3-row GV80 electrified model ..... since the 2025 year model GV80 will get a major update anyway.
Excellent review. Design is personal, but for me, this design inside and out is outstanding. A perfect blend of performance and elegance. Also on the performance trim, you get the VGS (virtual gear shift) option. If you get nostalgic for the ICE shifting experience (unlikely, but maybe just for fun), then switch to VGS mode and the regen paddle shifters turn into gear shifters. Is it necessary? Definitely not. Is it fun to play with? Yep.
Given you can get a 300 miles + EV ( my petrol Mazda Rx8 had a range of 275 miles) which will charge 10-80% in 18 minutes the only reason I can see for getting a hybrid is if you don’t have home charging!- some zero tail-pipe emission motoring is better than non for air quality and the climate. Hybrids are missing the point BEVs are part of the solution for improving local, national and global air quality even if you don’t agree with the climate change argument. I think Hybrids are being sold as the best of both worlds when they are far from it. Yes less expensive than the equivalent full BEV, yes slightly better fuel economy than the equivalent ICE. But if one of your objections is the charging problem with a BEV which may have a 77kWh battery how much more frequently and how much more inconvenient is it going to be to have to charge a hybrid battery which is probably a quarter of the size and doesn’t support really rapid DC charging! A hybrid is all the complication with none of the benefits; Fully BEV have lower service and maintenance costs, if home charging lower fuelling costs (with 10 000 mile a year motoring easily £1000 a year cheaper in fuelling than ICE), in the UK at least no road tax currently, no restriction on city centre ultra Low emission zone nor ULEZ fees and in London no congestion charge. With over 32,300 public charging sites (61,000 individual chargers) in the UK compared to 8,353 petrol stations the difficulty of road trip charging as an objection issue is a mute argument now.
@@JT-fq2bl in the UK with the 2030 ban on the sale of any new ICE vehicles and 2035 Ban on any new non ZEV (tail-pipe) why would Genesis make a hybrid?!
Love my GV60 Advance dual motor. Love the look a lot more than the rest of the lineup. If Genesis made an electric midisze SUV or family van, I'd give them all my money.
@@mrgurulittle7000 that's such a tired argument. The ioniq 5 is an excellent car and isn't particularly chap. Many luxury cars are based on less expensive versions.
I normally love almost everything that Genesis does with styling, but this one is a miss for me. Kind of bulbous, stumpy, and too weird. The color is great, and I like the wheels, though.
If you're considering Genesis, you might want to think twice. Reports suggest their customer service leaves much to be desired, especially for a luxury car brand. Plus, if your car needs repairs, be prepared to wait at least three months for it to be fixed.
I'm in UK. I'm totally agree with you. Genesis after sales services is only a joke! I bought a GV60 for a year and half, the digital side mirror issue whereby they appear to fog up & in turn making it difficult to be able to drive the vehicle safely at all times.And this issue still has to wait for them to fix.......😮
It's kinda dangerous 0-60. In an urban environment with other vulnerable road users, my opinion too. We don't need to add to the 40,000 yearly road fatalities in the US.
goddamnit it's the same old tired argument of accidents. Just not stick your fkn eyeballs to your phone and concentrate on walking, not ignoring the whole safety bs.
I would say this is an ok car, but according to Naveen and his associates, a luxury car mustn’t be based on a cheaper platform to qualify this as a luxury car. Finally after the anti Lexus following crapping on the LX, Crown, Crown Sport, RX, and Century SUV for simply existing on the same platform as Toyota vehicles although they are obviously more luxurious, I can say that according to their reasoning, this Genesis is a POS! It’ll be stupid to apply that logic only to Lexus and not Genesis. What do you Genesis fanboys think, ha! What a rubbish car. 😁
@@baoquoc3710I don’t know any fanboys who hates their brand. I stand correct. I wanna know your logic and how you could be so offended by me calling a Genesis simp a fanboy.😂
Too bad. Because this thing is based on the Ioniq 5, making it not a luxury car. You yourself said that a luxury car couldn’t be based on a cheap car, and here is Hyundai doing exactly that. Cheap rubbish. And too bad because that’s exactly by your logic. It’ll be stupid to apply your logic to Lexus and not Genesis.😁
@@mrgurulittle7000 the ioniq5 however is a game changer and it’s a RWD ev with great driving dynamics and performance. It’s not a fwd ev. That’s the key difference. The ioniq5 ev6 are already RWD and drive and perform better so the gv60 being a nicer version of that already exceptionally performing ev is a good thing
@@naveenthemachine No, it’s not a good car. Being based on a Hyundai platform screams cheap. Luxury buyer don’t care about RWD. All they care about is the platform not being a cheap platform, which the GV60 is. For them, the GV60 is just another Hyundai. Disappointing that Genesis lost their integrity by using a cheap Hyundai platform. “Badge doesn’t mean luxury.”
@@naveenthemachineYeah, the A Class and 1 series. Sorry, but luxury doesn’t equal performance. You’re mixed up, especially when you act as though you represent the whole “luxury consumer” demographic by criticizing the dumbest things about Lexus like sharing platforms with Toyota. Well, here we have Hyundai doing the same thing; copying others like they always do. It may be RWD, but that’s irrelevant to the fact that it uses a cheapo Hyundai platform, making it a cheap car. When did you stop calling the Century, RX, Signia, Crown, etc cheap Toyotas although I explained they might use the same platform but they have AWD which is actually a luxury feature? Exactly! You just insisted it was cheap because of the stupid fact that it used the same developed platforms as Toyota. Well here we are again, except the tables are turned. Now it’s my turn to call this Genesis a piece of sh!t.
Bought mine a year and a half ago and still love it

A couple of corrections - the round grille on the pax door that you said is a speaker is a scent diffuser and the boost lasts for 10 seconds.
Excellent 👌 thanks for the correction

Thank you for the great review of this stunning car!!!! My favorite.
I saw one of these last week in the UK. Absolutely beautiful looking car from the outside
I think upcoming ioniq7 (3-row) will sprout the basis for the :

..... since the 2025 year model GV80 will get a major update anyway.
Interior for gv is so much nicer than the ioniq 5.
Love the interior. This and the electric GV70 are the only EVs I would take over our I-Pace.
I test drove a GV60 this weekend. Beautiful car, handle like a dream, love the options and HUD. My only disappointment; no true sunroof.
6:31 No vents blowing between the LEGS of the passenger in the middle. GOOD!
Thank God for b-pillar vents like old school Volvo models.

We won't get a Genesis hybrid until another 2-4 years.

It’ll be better than this Genesis.
the "no rear wiper" isn't bc of esthetics. its aerodynamics.
skinnier tyres improve range alot.

@@kiwan5425 I want one. Looks great, and very close to the neolun concept
Awesome
not bad, thanks.
Its a beautiful EV...
I like this car, but unlike it's Hyundai cousins, it's not readily available in my area. The range is a weakness for the money.
It’s based on a cheap car, so it’s basically a dressed up Hyundai. Not luxurious at all.

@@Idaho_SpudYou gotta say that to the Lexus haters when they call Lexus, cheap.
@mrgurulittle7000 Quite ignorant. You have no idea all the tech inside, I assume.

A cable cost $5 , no big deal.
It’s not about the cost of a cable. It’s the lack of convenience!
Wireless updates rolling out OTA, already rolled out in some markets.

What? Not all problems are the same and time will differ, and customer service depends on location. Stop acting like a bot and raise your iQ.

Looks like a BYD, cool
GV70 3.5T or E-GV70 for the win!
No rear wiper on my G90 works fine.
I appreciate the review but keep the camera on the car and not on you. No offense.

Very pretty. Is the boost button on the base trim by default?
No boost button only on the top trim AWD 483bhp version not even on the middle 314bhp version.
