Sales of the redesigned Genesis GV60 in Korea started on March 6, showcasing more power and state-of-the-art luxury features.
It’s the first time Genesis’ sole electric model developed on a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) platform has undergone a redesign since it was initially launched in October 2021.
Inspired by the brand’s design philosophy “Athletic Elegance,” the redesigned GV60 comes with an 84-kilowatt-per-hour fourth-generation battery, allowing it to travel up to 481 kilometers on a single charge.
Its innovative Smart Regeneration System and other newly introduced driving features offer a comfortable yet dynamic driving experience that is unique among luxury EVs.
This includes an immersive in-car entertainment system that supports several streaming services on a large display with Dolby Atmos sounds.
The driving experience is further enhanced with convenient features like a Hands On Detection (HOD) steering wheel and Walk Away Lock.
The GV60 has been reborn with a more refined exterior design that presents a striking and futuristic image, in line with Genesis’ design philosophy “athletic elegance”, while the interior embodies the brand’s “beauty of white space” concept, complemented by an array of sophisticated tech features.
At the front, the new model sports a refreshed bumper with a three-dimensional shape that exudes a bold impression.
The headlamps highlight the brand’s iconic Two Lines design language with stunning and sophisticated Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology that welcomes the driver when they unlock the car.
The vehicle comes with the choice of sleek five-spoke rims in 21-inch dark metallic glossy gray or 20-inch light silver wheel options.
The standard 19-inch wheels feature a matte dark gray color, which, along with the wheel arch cladding, gives the model a sporty yet elegant appearance.
