Genesis GV60 review

Overview

The Genesis GV60 is an electric SUV with 5 seats, a 77.4 kWh battery and a quoted EPA range of 248 miles. On paper it suits families who want space without moving up to a van. Prices start at around $53,975, with leases quoted from about $549 a month.

Its headline specification point is straightforward: a crystal-ball gear selector and genuine luxury cabin. The sections below break the published figures down and set them against the other electric cars in our Your state database.

Design & practicality

Bodystyle is an SUV with 5 seats and 432 litres of boot space. Against every EV in the database that puts it among the weakest for outright carrying capacity, and among the weakest among other SUVs.

Boot volume is typical of the class: fine for a weekly shop and a couple of cases.

Range & charging

The quoted EPA range is 248 miles from 77.4 kWh of usable-plus-buffer capacity — below average in the database for distance between charges. Real-world figures are typically 10–25% lower in cold weather and at sustained motorway speeds.

That is a big-battery setup with solid rapid-charging speeds. As with any EV, the running-cost picture depends far more on whether you can charge at home overnight than on the charging speed itself.

Performance

The published 0–60mph time is 4 seconds, which puts it above average for acceleration here and makes it seriously fast by the numbers. Electric drivetrains deliver that pull instantly from a standstill, so town-speed responses tend to feel stronger than the figure suggests.

Tech & features

We score cabin technology at 9/10 based on published equipment levels, which is around mid-pack across the database. The specification highlight is that a crystal-ball gear selector and genuine luxury cabin.

Expect a large central screen, over-the-air updates and driver assistance as standard on most trims.

Price & value

New prices run from $53,975 to $69,700, with three-year-old used examples from around $38,000 and leases quoted from $549 a month. That sits at the middle of the electric cars in this database, and the middle of the SUVs specifically.

Our value score, which weighs the price against range, space and equipment, is 6/10. Whether it works out cheaper than your current car depends on your mileage, fuel price and charging setup — the cost calculator does that maths properly.
