2022 Genesis GV60 Electric Revealed: Price, Specs, Release Date

The new Genesis GV60 electric vehicle will offer a range of more than 300 miles, and feature integrated spherical crystal illumination

The Genesis GV60 will be available for sale in the spring of 2022 and is expected to start at a price of: 45,000 pounds (estimated) , but the exciting thing is the launch of its new car, amid successive news of many cars that will be launched by the emerging Korean manufacturer.

If you’re going to launch into a new market, sometimes it pays to go slow. Apple, for example, waited three years after the iPhone’s launch to introduce the iPad. Obviously, Genesis didn’t read this note, because despite launching in some markets earlier this year, the brand already has two models on sale and revealed three more will go on sale soon . And now add a new one Genesis GV60?

The new Genesis GV60 is the first bespoke electric vehicle from the South Korean brand, and uses the same naming principles as the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5. These vehicles will be the biggest competitors to the Genesis GV60, along with other more popular electric models including Volkswagen car. .4 and Tesla Model 3, and other best big electric cars of the year.

Genesis GV60 battery and engine

Genesis hasn’t revealed many technical details about the Genesis GV60 yet , but it will likely be offered with battery sizes and power outputs to match the EV6 and Ioniq 5. This means buyers can expect 58kWh and 77kWh battery options, with ranges that will be around 240 and 300 miles straight. It will be able to charge up to 350 kW if you can find a charging point capable of providing that rate, which means that charging at 10-80% should only take 18 minutes.

In terms of power, the entry-level GV60 is expected to deliver 168 horsepower from a single electric motor. The mid-range options will get power boosted to about 215 hp, while the top-tier versions will get a second engine and all-wheel drive, with about 302 hp for the advanced option.

The interior of the Genesis GV60

Inside, the Genesis GV60 features digital instruments and a large infotainment touchscreen, both of which are expected to be 12.3 inches found on the Ioniq 5 and EV6. And in the Ioniq 5, these numerical settings do not mean that the steering wheel may block your view of the top of the screen, depending on your driving mode. The infotainment system will be easy to handle, with a simple menu layout and handy physical shortcut buttons at the bottom of the screen. This design is the same as that seen in the Genesis GV60 Concept.

One of the unique features of the Genesis is the Crystal Sphere gear selector in the center console. Which will illuminate the interior with appropriate lighting when the car is turned off. There’s no word on how much room the Genesis GV60 will have, but based on our experience of the competing Ioniq 5, expect flexible seating with plenty of room and a luggage compartment large enough to handle your holiday luggage.

Pricing won’t be announced until near the start of sales next spring, but we expect the Genesis GV60 to cost more than its Ioniq 5 and EV6 siblings. After all, the Genesis is seen as Hyundai’s premium brand.

The car is expected to cost around £45,000 which will make the Genesis GV60 more expensive than most competitors, but Genesis hopes to add value by assigning a personal assistant to each buyer, who will be their only point of contact for the duration of their ownership, to provide after-sales service, which is expected to be It places the Korean brand in a different position amid the fierce competition.

$45,000-50,000The Genesis GV60 is due for release in Spring 2022. GV60 pricing has not yet been announced, but we anticipate an MSRP in the high $45,000-50,000 range before applicable incentives and the federal EV tax credit
