The 2024 Genesis GV60 Performance Is A Stand Out Luxury EV For Enthusiasts

- After a full year on the market, the #GenesisGV60 continues to be one of the quirkiest electric vehicles on the market. For 2024, #Genesis is expanding the #GV60 family to not only include a #GV60Performance trim, but also a new lower priced RWD model with even more range. The Performance trim also gains a new VGS function that helps to create virtual gear shifts and engine sounds when driving around.

Happy Friday everyone! While the 2024 Genesis GV60 basically looks the same as last year's model. For 2024, Genesis has added a new VGS virtual sound and gear changes on this performance trim and if you want to hear and feel what driving around in an EV that "shifts" gears sounds like, skip to 22:30! Its a wild experience and you can expect us to show you a more race car like sound when we drive the upcoming Ioniq5 N in April! Do you think you would drive around an EV with the sounds and shifting turned on or off?
Both off
In January I rented a Model Y for 3 days (via Turo). I really liked it, but before I actually ordered it, I rented a GV60 for 3 days. I did the same short road trip with each car, so I definitely got a good feel for both cars. I’m sure I would have enjoyed the Tesla, but the Genesis was the one that wound up in my garage (I got the Advanced train, not the Performance reviewed in this video). By the way the Tesla was the long range version with a much longer claimed range, but in my experience the range was pretty close to the same.
The GV60 is so much nicer, more luxurious, and more comfortable than the Model Y. It’s really difficult to compare.
That blue leather reminds me of an old school caddy.
Been watching you for years. Never laughed so hard during your driving segment. Your genuine reaction was hilarious
I just love your work, you make looking at your channel awesome. You are the main reason that I bought a genesis. Please keep up the outstanding work.
thank you for including the towing capacity, often forgotten by others doing reviews.
I LOVE the VSG feature. This is the first review I've watched that mentions it, so thank you. I also love the Torrent/Navy interior. Thanks a lot!
Puny is his favorite word. I love his car reviews.
I love Sofyan and I've been following his contents for a long looong time. Even when his channel was still in its infancy. And I truly deeply profoundly believe he is one of the BEST automotive journalists out there. Redline is absolutely in my top 5 favorite car channels.
But one thing I will say, Sofyan doesn't like using big fancy words. That's just not his identity. And I personally think that's the right move.
Handsdown the best car reviewer on youtube.
@@ChristianC-gy1ym Agree. The only thing is too many videos begin with "its hard to believe" and "when you think of" :D
@@user-fj8wr8jh4e "When it comes to.." lol
Fantastic review as always Sofyan. I particularly liked the comparisons you kept making to its two siblings in regards of what you get extra. It’s not an inconsiderable list:-
Crystal sphere,
Logo puddle lights,
On road projected dotted reverse lights,
Electric steering adjust reach/rake, noise cancellation - for an exceptionally quiet cabin, twin closing blinds for panoramic sunroof, unique infotainment interface - the large photo menu tiles, B&O 17 speaker hi-fi system, next to no piano black interior, alcantera/suede headliner- all these are available in the RWD entry level version either as standard or an option.
I’m sure I’ve missed a few but one gets the idea.
To be fair a few things you don’t get- you don’t get an opening sunroof, not as large a boot/trunk as a result of it being a shorter car, you can recline rear seats but not slide as in the ioniq 5.
As Sofyan said if you don’t need a cavernous boot, or extra headroom in the rear, fancy an EV with way above par luxury, then the GV60 could be a compelling choice.
I have a 22 Santa Fe Hybrid Blue and it has wired and wireless android auto. Wireless can be iffy a few times a year. Wired always works. So it's nice to have both instead of just wireless
Dude i want one so bad lol. This vehicle is 100% my taste. I really love quirky interesting design, colors, the steering wheel is easily the coolest looking, it looks fun to drive, fast charging
The height to which and how swiftly the boot/trunks opens is an option in the menus. Three settings for each.
That VGS feature seems awesome - hopefully it gets to lower trim levels.
I wanted this a couple of years ago until the Electrified GV70 came out. For a little more at $75K you get a bigger and better looking car. The main thing for me would be the opening panoroof. Genesis needs to make this cheaper now like around $67K or so vs $70K now. Still these are pretty expensive though. I recently picked up an EV6 GT for $50K and for that price it's a steal. Hopefully in a few years they will have a more sporty Electrified GV70 that has the looks of the ICE variant.
They're already under 50k used. Depreciation is awesome for those of us that shop 2nd hand.
@@jghall00 not sure what car you're talking about. The last time I checked the E GV70 were still around $60-$65K used. It all depends on a lot more factors tho. It's only been out for a year as well.
Yep EV prices went down like crazy on the 2nd hand market. Ask the Taycan drivers. It's like EVs have their own residual curve vs ICE vehicles.
I have a 2023 GV 60 love the car , I wish they given it the wireless car play , also something else they need to do is have a manual button to turn on the precondition seems strange you have to go through the nav system when you know where you are going to charge the car. Genesis GV 60 has to be one of the best for the money built to a very high standard hard to fault this car.
You know what the fake shifting thing is kinda cool,or the vgs feature i should say
I personally really like this car. I think the fit and finishes fantastic, probably one of the more luxurious smaller EV’s out there. But for a minimum $72,000 and only 235 range… That makes it a huge no for me. There’s no reason why this car should have less than 300 miles of range, no EV right now should be less than 300 miles of range! This is another excellent review! Thanks for doing what you do.
That's what happens when they put too much electric motors and ridiculous huge wheels.
@@Aki_Lesbrincothere are EVs with larger wheels and better range. That’s no excuse.
They underrate the range. Edmunds tested 274 miles
@@GraysonA Out of Spec video.... Kyle got exactly 235 miles on his 70 mph highway test.
@@Annette_Hons The difference between Edmunds and Out of Spec is probably temperature and maybe tires. However, 235 at 70mph would mean more for combined driving and even more for city. EPA rates at combined, so 235 at 70 mph is exceeding EPA.
72 Grand GOH 😅
Overprice! EV
And ugly.😂
Like every Lexus... overpriced Toyotas
I'd look for an 8-10 month old one - let someone else take the arse kicking.... I'd say most buyers aren't going to care about spending dough. Lots of EV6 and IONIQ 5's on lots these days - they're dealin....
Ouch, if you think 72 grand is a lot...
You are in the wrong market, watching the wrong video.
I'm not trying to be an a**hole by saying that. I mean seriously, go watch a Chevy Volt video, or Nissan Leaf.
I mean, what do you guys expect a vehicle like this to cost?
It's looks much more like purosangue for this angle))
I've seen the key fobs of some Genesis models in Korea that are color matched to the paint of your vehicle. It may be an option to get, and may only be in Korea. I'm not sure.
My family owns the exact same car. We’ve had it since October 2023.
I bought the 2023 performance version.
I love the car but there are two things I wish were different. 1: The headrest could be more adjustable. 2: The glove drawer needs a lock. If you do valet it’s great to be able to throw valuables inside. Does anyone know if they upgraded those features?
You noted how you don't like how low it is but I think if it's going to marketed as a performance model then it should sit low to the ground.
Love this car, but I'm waiting a few more years until they have the Next Generation Battery Packs (Solid State?), hopefully by 2027, when this car should have 400+ miles of range.
Dilemma between GV60 vs GV70 electrified!!! They both are so good in their own way!
I think the interior in the 70 will blow you away, especially in white. The design also looks more premium to me.
GV70 electrified prestige if you can afford it.
If not, I don't recommend the GV70 advanced, rather stick to the gv60 advanced/performance.
Top notch exterior/interior. Wish it had wireless carplay though, a big oversight being a 2024.
Why people always get bothered by the wired apple car play? Just get a wireless CarPlay adapter,it works really good, I bought one 8 months ago,never had any problem, and only cost about $65
@@matthewliuliu666That's a good idea & is something I'd def get. It's not about the idea of getting an adapter though, I just like to see companies keep up w/the times. The tech isn't hard to implement but it shouldn't take more than 4+ years to get such a small change implemented into the car's tech.
Call me crazy, but I guess I'm in the minority here. I prefer the built-in GPS/Infotainment system vs Apple/Android auto.
@@andyalam2405I’m with you -if the native system is good which the GV60 is - always pre-conditioning, suggests charging options and has augmented reality then I don’t see the issue.
I understood it was only a licensing issue which has been resolved which is why EV9 is wireless. I understood the firmware has been in the GV60 since launch maybe they’ll do it as OTA update or after the 5 year complimentary updates have expired any sign up to a new data package will have it included. We’ll see.
Its a good looking car.
My absolute favorite car. Looks, performance, technology….fit and finish….second to none!!! Thanks for the great review of this fantastic vehicle.
Yes thsys why they can't sell them xD it looks like a ballsack
Waiting for Genesis to come out with a car with the luxury of the GV60P and the range of GV60S. Why can't I have luxury without AWD and boost -neither of which I need?
I find the look fresh and good looking on the. Exterior. The fact that the phone cable has to just sit out there in the open makes that front section look unfinished. Wireless CarPlay would be ideal. Rear seat looks like 3 series legroom. Rear seats that recline…. You see that BMW 🧐. That paint looks beautiful but the maintenance would be annoying for me. I sat in one of these but didn’t drive it. It looks modern but not mature on the interior. It wasn’t bad but when you compare it to the GV70 interior it seemed a bit youthful. The VGS seems like a nice touch. The EV6 & ionic5N are faster but thenfact that you can’t have power seats and some of the other normal amenities doesn’t sit well with me. Something about Hyundai/Kia/Genesis rears just don’t look that great to me. I’m. It a fan of the rear of the Somata, Stinger or any of the Genesis vehicles.
Why no wireless android auto? I have it in my 2021 car......
Certainly an interesting and quirky little SUV! Not sure I can get with the side-profile though....
Beautiful
So bigger size like (BMW X4 and or Mercedes GLE coupe), sunroof that opened and a wireless CarPlay experience and I would buy one ASAP!
HYUN + DAY.
Not HUN + DAY.

It's looks much more like purosangue for this angle. Please kindly do review on purosangue car for me
Maybe soon, I will be able to afford this EV.
I owned one…for 6 months. Awesome, luxurious, fast, well built. Charging absolutely horrible (EA, EVGo and others) and in cold weather, forget about it. Back seat angle very uncomfortable (even for my kids). Range needs a 75 mile improvement.
Tesla supercharger network will change the EV market. This car absolutely needs it
No preconditioning? I agree on the public chargers. They're awful. Some owners have seen a substantial range improvement by reducing the wheel size.
@@jghall00 Getting it to precondition…funny thing, it worked on my wife’s profile about 50% of the time and never on mine. Our settings, were identical minus seat and wheel position
In addition, the EA charger we used 90% of the time, the car could not find it. Just odd things that seemed like no brainer functionality that just wasn’t there
Anyway, no issues with my Tesla
They underrate the range. Edmunds tested 274 miles
😍😍😍
At least it can't burn oil
Too bad caused the battery only 235 miles. They should make 300 miles range at least, back seat space and head room should be 4 inches longer.
Great review...but it says a lot when they are trying to make EVs feel like ice cars..
But still improved over ice cars in many ways
@@aboutface102except any sort of, feeling, excitement and passion. They're basically iPads with wheels
@@Aki_Lesbrinco Totally disagree, have you ever driven one? They are fun to drive very exciting
@@Aki_Lesbrinco
His review literally showed us how software can mimic a gasser. But to be honest, everything went iPad decades ago with computer fuel injection, paddle shifting as opposed to true mechanical gear connections, automatic rev matching, synthetic engine noises pumped through the speakers to amplify the not so pleasant engine noise, antilock brakes, stability control.......on and on. The human was taken out of the loop long ago my friend.
Genesis gv60 is gorgeous looking elegant suv in the ev market
ill take this over Tesla any day! i just wish it has wireless Carplay .
There are adapters to make it wireless, if you’re interested in that. 🙏
Or wait for the next model year
you can buy 2 Tesla for $72k😅
@@Julian-nt5wh- Then you have to deal with 2 boring stale non luxury cars. That sounds dumb.
I mean a tesla will save you 20-25k and still get you more range. I'd rather just get a tesla than pay for something as overpriced as this...
I love it, like most, I would take this over the bloated price Tesla,
Sub 300 miles range for a luxury car is ridiculous, they can do better
Apparently these things don't sell, dealers have had 190 day supplies of them at one point
Yeah no kidding. Almost 80k for low 200 miles range hatchback and a relatively unknown Hyundai brand. Who in their right mind would buy this?
Did he just say that there’s a wired charging pad in the middle console???
Don't know if he said it but there is a charging pad there.
235 Mi is more like 140 miles specialty when you use your AC or your heater I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot Pole
They underrate the range. Edmunds tested 274 miles
No one is asking you to
Its a kia/hyundai with some pompous upgrades, 70k...i would go for gv80 or at least gv70 non ev ones
I’ll wait a couple of years and get the car for half the price😂
72 grand for a kia is crazy and only 235 miles of range smh
The rear of this car reminds me of the pretty Isuzu Impulse. ……Great vehicle, but too much $$$, and it needs 300+ mile range.
2024 Tesla Model Y Performance starts at less than $45K after tax credit. Performance is better along with much higher range. It’s not even close.
They underrate the range. Edmunds tested 274 miles
Tesla Fan Boy. Back off, Elon cultist.
Not one enthusiast is talking about this car.
These virtually frunkless vehicles on dedicated platforms are an abomination. Don't they know that EV drivers love their frunks. We need capacious FRUNKS on EVs! Okay, I got that off my chest. Nice car and thorough review.
That fake gearing and engine sound is so cool
235 mile range is a killer, especially if you keep it between 20-80% charge most of the time, so 141 and that is not even enjoying the “performance aspect”
You can get a range bump with smaller wheels.
@@jghall00yes, but even 264 max range with the 19s was less than I was expecting

I did think the thumbnail said Shitty EV Had to look again to make sure
No wonder Elon is selling so many model Ys all the other manufacturers bumped their heads with their price structure.
Wrong Tesla reported lowest sales in January. Too expensive. Hybrids are now gaining momentum more reliable.
Many car manufacturers are now stopping making more full EV and have decided to make more hybrids
@@Bitcoin_GoldWrong! Manufacturers that can’t compete with Tesla are running to hybrids. Elon’s fad is running out too.
Lovely car but too expensive and not enough range. Can’t buy it around here anyway.

Hot Hatch
Too soon junior
My BIGGEST peeve on the majority of these luxury cars. Exposed plastic cup holders. It just ruins the entire center console of these cars. Here's this sleek console, nice buttons, materials and BAM! Two gaping holes for drinks. Why not cover them? The germans have the right idea, Tesla does it even now with the Model 3. It's just such a visual discrepancy and makes it look cheap. I don't need 24h access to cup holders. I don't want to see them, and should only need that space when I have a drink to put in there. It just makes everything look cheap. Please fix. A simple cover would be great.

235mi range is dog doodoo. Anything under 300mi and over $50k doesn't deserve a single purchase. Model 3 and Y are a better buy hands down.
M:3 / M:Y are not better buys, they are cheaper buys.
What is your daily drive? Mine is about 35 miles. I can top up the battery at home every night or do just one weekly fast charging at a public charger. 235 mi range is more than enough for most drivers.

Tesla fan boyfriends every time. EV variants are capitalism at its best. Yeah, worship at the temple of Elon and his psychosis. Back off and just be happy with your Tesla tool.
I dread the day that EVs become our only option 😬 great work as always with the channel!
It's not nappa leather.,
The question is, what is the cost of battery replacement, don't trust Hyundai/ Kia products..
As is usually the case, another great EV ruined by an unreasonable price. Hopefully soon we'll see some of the useful tech trickle down to some EV's that are in a price range most people can afford.
I just can't get exited with these "sport" EVs. The only thing "sport about them is acceleration. They lack everything else that makes a sports car a sports car.
The design of this car looks like a Mini to me for some reason.
It is not on my list I will stick with my gas powered Honda Odyssey thank you
I feel that the proportions would be better if the car were longer. It just looks.....chubby.
This channel kisses every brands butt except Lexus. No one thinks a Kia or Hyundai is anything special, certainly not better then other brands and certainly doesn’t last as long or have the resale value .
Lexuses aren't special dude. They are literally rebadged top trim Toyotas.
bro, slow the fk down. that way you dont have to correct yoursef every 2 min
It looks so cheap! Those taillights are all in one... light, brake, signal. That is such a cheap cost cutting thing to do, especially for its price. The front end is pretty ugly too! Those split headlamps with multi units look okay. No fog lamps either. The interior is a mess of trims and textures. The screens look cheap, as they always do. This needs a massive redesign.
You do realize he wasn't reviewing a Model Y - right? :)
lol 90’s Honda Civic interior.
Ok Magoo
Good catch,. I mean, still a *lot* more luxurious than the blue interior that my friend's Prelude had
I am going to buy one of these, but that "navy" color took me back to a 90's Honda, which for me is a pass

This car is straight up fugs. How Hyundai and Kia got the better looking siblings on the same platform is beyond me.
I hate EVs but that is beautiful. Overpriced though
Almost 75k for this piece of metal with only 235 miles of range which we in real world is more like 200 and less in weather wtf.. can u imagine this 5 years old with the battery depleted to its going to be a uselesss piece of crap
In 5 years it will have at least 210 miles of range, and many years of full warranty coverage left.

@ChazR25 that's why the only ev that looks to be a decent buy used is the chevy bolt ev at like 18k
Love this car. But $60K for under 300 miles is pretty much unacceptable. I would rather take the Avatr 12 for $50K.

Less range, less power, slower and more expensive than a Tesla. No thanks. I'll get the Tesla better.

This is the most confusing EV I’ve ever seen. Is it supposed to be Luxurious? Sporty? Innovative? Design savvy? Small, Large? Cool? It doesn’t seem to hit any of those marks regarding a EV from Genesis. Just give us a Hybrid already…
Makes no sense at all. You can't just sell a hideous luxury EV. Every other Genesis is relatively good looking. Even the IONIQ 5 is much much better looking.
I'm going to wait for 2025 Genesis Hybrid. Never trust Full EV
Oh, it must be true because wackit6756 is "confused".
Once upon a time, people used to make up their minds after a test drive
The confusion you're feeling comes from Google searches, and a lack of seat time
Until you have to replace the battery…$40000+🤣
Still overpriced 😢
Standard pricing for this level of vehicle. Maybe you should think about a Jetta? 😊
@@BhutWhut interesting thing to say out loud
Having an EV with a fake exhaust sound is like vegetarians eating "meat free" chicken nuggets
Right... It's stupid. It's like they're embarrassed that it's an EV.
Don't even tell me a Tesla Model 3 or Y is luxury after seeing this. Sure this cost more than a Tesla, Just look at it. That $15 led strip that Tesla put in their car as reengineered, my daughter bought from China to decorate her room. Even came with a remote....not impressed.
All these cars are just clones of one another anymore. Just homogenized copycats.
Why does Korea keep sending us such ugly pieces of crap?
I think this is easily one of the worst looking vehicles that Genesis makes. I would take an Ioniq 5 any day over this weird bug looking design.
