- In this short video I take a deep-ish dive into the new 3.8 second performance crossover from the newest luxury brand in America. If you're looking for a deeper dive, you'll find that over on the EV Buyers Guide channel. Why two videos? Because some viewers liked the idea of a quick video here and a deeper dive there, so be sure and let us know in the comment section!

I didn't intend *this* video to have a part 2 actually, but if you want to see part 2 of the EVBG video, it's here LOL: czcams.com/video/LmDBkN7Iw-s/video.html
I just picked up a GV60 Performance last Tuesday. It’s pretty awesome.
Are you in the US?
@@bhbae1 Yes, SoCal
@@TheCarCrazyGuy nice. Any extra money that they added to MSRP? How long did it take to have the car since ordering?
@@bhbae1 I didn’t order it. I picked up someone’s cancelled order. Called the dealer on Monday and drove home on Tuesday. There was $890 of dealer add ons. That’s it.
@@TheCarCrazyGuy thank you for details. Tha sounds annoying to me that they demanded extra money to get what other has cancelled. They should stop doing that.
Great review. This is my absolutely favorite vehicle. I love it……style, performance, technology .and comfort…With exceptional build quality. Thank you Alex.
Wow!! This will be my only Genesis All-electric crossover SUV for me to be able to afford one someday with the good price of course. Overall, fantastic job and review Alex.
I had to laugh when watching the SavageGeese video. When traction control is off and you punch it, those front wheels get roasted FAST.
And now we all see why most models have a smaller motor in front LOL.
It has a lot of cheerful rounded elements, so lovely 😻
Great job explaining product placement with respect to the market and with respect to Genesis' lineup. Not ready for a part 2... but I'll do it anyway because completion!
Nice hatchback. Great effort by Genesis. Seats look comfortable, and the interior is cool, IMO. Exterior is a nice departure from the other Genesis products; I think this looks better on the smaller GV 60. My only reservation is that the range is a bit less than I'd like,but perhaps its close to real world mileage while some others are not. .
I paid a deposit on one on Monday. Can’t wait. It’s due september. FYI, they tell me the suspension is individually tuned in some countries. They have a specific set up for Australian roads. No idea exactly what that means but thought I would mention it as u brought up suspension. Loved the video and even leant a few things I didn’t know when I ordered it. I’m even more excited now
Nice job, you got me to subscribe in your other EV Chanel 😂 the Comp details (hook) were on the secondary channel, haha!
I’m not too sure about the exterior look of this one. In terms of E-GMP platform looks I would say IONIQ 5 > EV6 > GV60. I would probably go with the GV70 EV if I had to get a Genesis EV.
The new Cadillac EV looks better than all of those, IMO
The EV6 rear end is horrific. Looks like a duck bill.
Genesis is already making pretty fantastic cars, though I unfortunately cannot get over the exterior styling of this one. The proportions are simply too awkward for me :(
Yes but unfortunately the front end styling is a little weird. But seem like a good car.
Ditto.
Agreed, however this might be a vehicle that looks better in person, many people said that about the MachE
@@jamespaul2587 good point as it’s often the case, oddly enough. 👍🏻
Alex, I think it would be a good idea to mention the EV Buyers Guide channel at the very beginning of Alex on Autos' videos. Perhaps right after the intro.
Alex, if you drove the Advanced model with the adaptive suspension without the dampers, can you tell us if it is too firm? Do you prefer the non-adaptive suspension on the Advanced model?
Is the e-LSD equivalent to torque vectoring or a little more limited?
Perfect car
Very cool
Hi Alex, do you have a list of all the vehicles you currently have in your “stable”?? 🤔
Genisis is a very quality car company and this 60 is beautiful however, I bought a new Toyota Venza hybrid a few months ago and the interior is much more inviting in the Venza and it’s handling and performance is certainly agile. Toyota offers a full drivetrain warranty that is active for as long as you own the car. I don’t see many Venza on the road, For some reason Toyota isn’t shipping that many to the states but it’s worth the wait!!!
I do like the handling and agility in tge GV60. It’s a fine automobile.
Did I miss the part where you reviewed those weird HVAC controls? I watched the whole thing and then rewind it and fast forward again and again and still couldn’t find you mentioning it.
I didn't find them weird oddly enough...
Weird in the sense that I didn’t know if it was a touchscreen or just an LCD screen and it looked pretty cool.
Is the Passenger Seat the same range of motion as driver, including thigh support?
This is such a nice luxury car. Definately would take a genesis over other luxury brands
Where is the link to part 2? I think the soft suspension is making me want this, but will wait to see specs on the G70 EV, thanks!
I didn't intend the AOA video to have a part 2, but here's the EVBG part 2 LOL czcams.com/video/LmDBkN7Iw-s/video.html
@@AAutoBuyersGuide thanks! ;)
Is the finger print reader and face recognition really necessary? Seems more like a pain in colder months with hats or glasses. Why change from the simple key detection auto-unlock? Especially with the additional step of using your fingerprint in order to start the car. Do you have to use these features or does having the key bypass it all?
It's optional
I’ve seen video presentations showing it’ll work with sunglasses and a hat! It’s not available in the UK. Indeed in the Uk there’s an entry level version called The Premium which is RWD only at 229PS with a more modest but still nippy feeling 0-62mph of 7.8 seconds.
You do not need to use it, but at times, the car requests to check my print. It is weird, it may be a glitch.
Bring the Shooting Brake...:)
Surprised you didn't include the Mach-E in the size comparison
The Veloster lives on
Yes, it reminded me of that vehicle also, a bit odd and awkward looking but it stands out from everything else on the road
Boost mode, crystal ball 🔮 and Napa leather, what’s not to like 👍Out of Spec mom approved ✅
Does this not compete with the Cadillac lyriq?
The Lyriq should be more expensive. Plus it looks better.
It will, I believe the prices may be similar, depending on trim level and specs
I wish you reviewed the Advanced trim instead of Performance, since the Performance not many people purchase.
Alex I have noticed that your videos do not show up anymore when I search a model’s name. What’s going on?
That C-pillar is an absolute eyesore! This is definitely a fail for Genesis in terms of exterior design.
Along with the over styled front end.
@@205rider8 Indeed.
Getting used to the looks and it's not as bad. It's quite unique and i k8nda like the looks now...
This looks great. I’ve seen uglier evs that are objectively worse than this in every way
Rear view camera should fix the visibility issues.
YOU are a quick and quirky hatch, Alex xxxxxxx
I wished the GV60 had the look of the G80 EV. It would have kept a very great looking front facia design consistent especially when Genisis launched the new design for their entire lineup that's under 2 years old.
G80 grill is a little tacky.
Do the rear sets recline?
When you described the rear headroom, did you mention how tall you are?
Yes he said 6 ft.
Face scanning and fingerprint authentication just seems too ridiculous to be in a vehicle 😅
I own this car. Face/Finger ID is phenomenal. Now I don’t have to have anything on me when I retrieve something from the garage, or need to drive somewhere quickly. Thought it was a gimmick too before I got the car. Absolutely loving it.
@@isolatedintegration1154 Good for you. Glad you're enjoying the feature 😀
@@mark_u yes, it's all great until a thief removes your face and finger to steal the car, right? :)
@@jamespaul2587 It's much easier to remove your fob instead.
@@isolatedintegration1154 agreed, easier and less painful :)
Just curious, how accurate is the noise test? I looked back to back it seems like the 330e is rated at 70.5 an the Lexus 350h is rated at 71.5.
However, I could also swear that the 350h seems quieter.
Genesis themselves provide a figure of 66dB(A) Noise level moving. And I got mine last month and it’s ludicrously quiet! Every comments on how quiet it is.
You guys need to release the pricing and comparison as a separate video, not an internal link. When the video is done I'm moving on. Never see the second video show up on my watch log only the initial one.
Genesis, you know we all want an EV G70 variant with the EV6 GT powertrain. That car would put the i4 M50 in its place and not be an insult to the eyes.
I agree but this gv60 is also an insult to the eyes 😂
Mustang Mach-E? Why no mentions in all the comparos?
I absolutely think Hyundai and Kia's EV cars are superior to Japanese EV cars 🚗 😎 🥰😍🤩
Absolutely. The gv60 has ended the rz450e and the RZ isn’t even out yet. That’s how good the Koreans are. I’ve reiterated this over and over but I’ll say it again
The Koreans have become the automotive FBI and CIA capable of completely destroying Toyota Lexus products that aren’t on sale yet
Nah
@@sammydavis991 try again.😂
not really
Agreed
Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto is a huge miss for a vehicle this price. When comparing this to direct competitors it's almost a deal breaker. I have both in my Mach-E and will never go back to wired in future cars
The Infotainment system interface and function including navigation into the HUD and blue tooth connectivity for phone calls and music means - bar a few esoteric functions apple car play isn’t needed and not missed! For me anyway.
Alas I understand it’s a licensing issue with E-GMP vehicles so may become available in the future. All the hardware is already there indeed a peek at the systems firmware on the EV6 makes reference to the wireless functionality.
Idk about how this one looks. Not really the biggest fan. The rest is great though.
Beautiful car, but it’s a 2023 luxury car and doesn’t have wireless car play??
Alex is know this is a lot to ask but can we get a Cayenne review??
You may want to check the Motormouth CZcams channel, they own 2 and have several reviews online
I'm torn, I've seen other reviewers pan the GV60, both in style and performance. I will say it's not my favorite styled Genesis vehicle.
Good is electric ! No more oil leaks?
Does it have wireless Android Auto or still wired?
Still wired. But the infotainment system and interface is so good including navigation to the HUD and blue tooth calls and music is well executed I don’t miss it.
@@Antiguan_Dart I just don't understand that on a high tech vehicle. It's a $70k vehicle but you'd still have to plug your phone to use car play or Android Auto 🤦. I can't wait to check out the Lyriq and Chevy Blazer EV out. Android base system infotainment system.
Reminds me of how bad the Aston cygnet looked
looks are subjective, but overall I prefer the GV60 over the ioniq / ev6 / model Y / ipace.
I just wish that Genesis hadn't cheaped out on the UK market, alot of the items shown here are optional extras, even on the top model (sport plus).
The fully spec’d entry model in the UK - “The Premium” RWD 229PS WTLP 321 miles 0-62mph 7.8 seconds ( but feels much faster than that due to the available torque) is just £58,500. I’ve excluded the digital wing mirrors I doubt they’ll be popular in the UK.
And for that you get amazing tech - full OTA updates, V2L, HDA2 with auto lane change, 3D parking cameras, self parking, summon feature, fast charging 10-80% in 18 minutes on a 350Kw device, B&O audio system with noise cancellation , heated ( front and rear seats ) and ventilated front seats, double glazed glass front and rear, rear side blinds and rear reclining seats and a luxury feel which is amazing suede headlining, Nappa leather seats and virtually all the metal looking trim is actually metal.
Feature for feature I think it’s the best family SUV EV under £100,000! And look at its price! I’ll agree it’s not a track day or sports car- certainly not in its RWD only guise.
@@Antiguan_Dart I've got the sports plus coming (nearly 67k) and it doesn't come with alot of the spec you mention. Heated seats and steering wheel should at least be standard at this price point! IMHO
Should include I Pace EV in the comparisons and delete one of the other more unknown cars.
Luxury and less than three hundred miles range do not belong in the same sentence. 235 miles of range is great, for 2017. The reason the numbers are ludicrous is most EVs cannot charge to maximum capacity, dropping off at eighty or ninety percent charge and many also recommend never charging more than ninety percent.
The RWD entry level version available in the UK and some other parts of the world - The Premium is a more compelling choice with 229PS, 0-62mph in 7.8 seconds ( feels faster than that due to the available torque ) has WLTP combined of 321 miles. Real world about 280. I got 252 miles 100%-5% SOC motorway 70-75 mph driving! The GV60 is not a track or sports car (it’s too tall with too much ground clearance 16 cm) but as a luxury (with the near full suite of options) family SUV it is worthy of consideration.
C'mon, Alex. It is a compact crossover not a hatchback. Minis and Golfs are hatchbacks.
And this is a larger hatchback
Another EV with a non-opening glass roof. Deal-killer for me.
Look at the ev6
amazing car and looks so much more interesting than typical boring german cars except porsche.
The styling is decent for now but will not age well.
@@205rider8 disagree. This will age well because of how good it really is in everything else
Why isn’t this the Lexus RZ450e? This seriously deserves a Lexus badge
Well done Genesis 👏
Lexus doesn’t make ugly cars.
@@sammydavis991 the only Lexus models I think look great are the ES IS RC LC LS GX. Those look great
But the LX and RZ 😂
@@sammydavis991
How quickly you forgot the Corolla based Lexus HS250h.
@@sammydavis991 The materials inside look better than Lexus. Lexus interiors have been bad lately 😕.
Because it isn't made by Toyota
4:45 what happened to your face?!
That exterior is why people hated the older EVs.
good car but that price is ridiculous. it should be 45k at best, just can't justify 70k, especially with less than 250 mile range
Hi, AAA? Yeah, my car won’t recognize me…
NO REAR WIPER = SMD
@Jonathan A Not hidden- just not there. But in my opinion not a big deal a lot of saloon/sports cars don’t have rear wipers!
My Rx-8 didn’t have a rear wiper and I only recall it being an issue once! Despite 550 miles a week on the motorway in the UK through all seasons for an entire year!
Kona
Is that a question or a comment?
@@jamespaul2587 One comment is that the front looks a lot alike.
@@maqjode yes, I see the resemblance however this looks a little smoother and sleeker to me. I'd love to see this in person as it probably looks better than in pictures and video
2.8 sir, not 3.8 per kilowatt. You need a checker.
Those front headlights look awful.
Lot of EVs for sale if you can find one.
Not loving those busy looking wheels.
Thanks for calling it a hatch. It's a hatch, no matter how much they try to brand these things "SUV". It's funny how americans actually DO want hatchbacks, as long as you don't call them hatchbacks.
To be fair the 16cm ground clearance, roof rack, V2L and tow capability are SUV features, no?!
I really wanted this car but the exterior looks so fugly
Can I recommend seeing it in the flesh. I originally had issue with the grill but in person the whole thing grew on me very quickly. And with the Comfort Pack the interior is truly luxurious. Suede, Nappa leather, metal trim garnish and virtually all the trim
that looks like metal
is metal- metal mid-speak speaker grills on the upper front doors!
Love what Genesis is doing. They are investing heavily in making their cars great
Which makes them investing almost nothing in their dealership, advertising and branding all the more confounding, and counter-productive. They learned almost nothing from Lexus. 😕
After going through 3 optima engine failures, I wouldn't give them a dollar.
My Lexus is still running rock solid.
Any brand will have issues. Even Toyota and Lexus the most reliable brand out there has it’s issues
@@naveenthemachine yeah, I suppose 3 engine failures is normal, right? lol
Only problem I've run with my Lexus is a software problem.
@@SpaceyZee engine failures I agree are unacceptable
But those are on-the older models
I haven’t heard of any such issues in the newest models so far
how is your optima even slightly related to the GV60?
@@kristians2704 It’s manufactured by the same company with presumably the same crappy Quality Control processes.
Tesla is in trouble
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I think I'll stick with my 1962 Ford Galaxy but thanks for all the gibberish overload!
Are those showerheads?!
Noise cancellation monitors.
Can it be stolen with a USB cable? LMAO
Well I don't like the look of it it look ugly
For this to be a luxury EV I’m not sure what’s less inspiring, the front fascia or the rear end of this car. Certainly a phoned in design. There are Mazdas with better proportions and Hyundais with more attractive side profiles. The more I see this car the less cohesive and less attractive it is. Very unintuitive interior design with mirror controls built into the grab handle, a touch screen for HVAC controls and a infotainment display that appears to be a nice reach from both the driver _and_ front passenger. The gear selector is ugly, reminiscent of a old fashion rotary dial telephone, absolutely unnecessary and over-engineered pieces that you have to rely on every time you enter the vehicle. The car looks like it was a concept that the product manager accidentally ok’d for production. I feel like at this point Genesis designers believe they can’t do any wrong because bringing something to market that looks like this honestly feels like they’re pulling my leg. This comes across very goofy and I can’t take Genesis seriously with this kind of design language, especially compared to the EVs that Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi are putting out. GV60 literally looks like a toy car in comparison but with a grown man’s price tag. I’ll pass.
This is straight ugly, if I'm honest. Also, in my unnecessary opinion, small is height first, then length. This is taller than most sedans so it's definitely not the smallest vehicle they make, but that's really only in the title. To my eyes, this is absolutely more crossover than car.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? "Quirky Hatch" is correct....it is freak'n Korean!
The “hottest luxury hatch”…. Hyperbole much?
This thing is just another BEV in the pile of BEVs, lol
Ev for woman.
Very ugly for a Genesis.
This car is awful. Looks too much like a gimmicky children’s toy. Ioniq 5 is much better.
I'm looking for an EV that's luxurious, quiet and quick
This seems like the best option, under $700k
I'll pick one up.
Remember Hyundai’s global design aesthetic within all their companies: Chess Pieces for familial yet individual look for each brand 🖤🤍
