2023 Genesis GV60 Review

The 2023 Genesis GV60 is an all-new, all-electric subcompact luxury SUV. It shares many components with the forthcoming Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, but the GV60 adopts many of Genesis' styling traits that include an oversized grille and double-striped headlights and taillights. The clamshell style hood is a nice touch and we dig the neatly integrated rear spoiler, but the overall look is one that will have to grow on us over time. The interior features more refined materials and additional tech features to match a higher price compared to where its Hyundai/Kia siblings sit.

Like a number of major automakers these days, Genesis is focusing on sustainable manufacturing processes for its new EV. As a result, some of the GV60's interior panels, including the seats and armrests, are covered in a synthetic leather. The seat inlays and parts of the door card are made from fibers that are harvested from recycled plastic bottles and fishnets. Genesis is also offering the interior with five different color palettes to give customers the chance to go for something unique.

The GV60 comes with a healthy list of standard features, including a head-up display, heated and ventilated front seats, a Bang & Olufsen audio system and a full suite of advanced driving aids. You also get some cutting-edge tech like a fingerprint reader and the first application of Genesis' Face Connect feature — designed to grant access to the vehicle without a key and match a driver with his or her vehicle presets.

The 2023 Genesis GV60 is the next logical step in the company's evolution as a luxury brand. It  joins the recently announced Electrified G80 sedan as Genesis prepares its transition to more EVs in its lineup.
