Genesis has enhanced its compact electric vehicle, the GV60, with a facelift that boasts improved refinement. The model maintains its iconic appearance while exuding a more luxurious feel. Genesis has unveiled detailed information about the GV60 facelift model and has officially begun sales.
Launched in October 2021, the GV60 electric vehicle was Genesis' first dedicated electric model. It featured high performance, a futuristic design, and cutting-edge luxury specifications. This
partial change, occurring after 3 years and 5 months, reinforces the details based on Genesis' design philosophy of "Athletic Elegance." The result is an even more iconic and luxurious interior and exterior design.
The new GV60 is equipped with an 84kWh 4th generation battery, allowing for a maximum driving range of 299 miles (481 km) on a single charge. This figure applies to the Standard 2WD model under combined driving conditions. With a next-generation smart regenerative braking system and various driving-specific features, it delivers a luxurious yet dynamic driving experience befitting a premium electric vehicle.
The interior features a 27-inch integrated wide display and Dolby Atmos, enhancing in-vehicle entertainment, including streaming services.
Various convenience features have been added, including a direct-sensing steering wheel and walk-away lock. The expanded over-the-air (OTA) software updates provide a comfortable and convenient user experience.
The new GV60's design has been elevated to a higher level, featuring an exterior that combines dynamic elegance with a strong, modern image, and an interior that balances minimalism with high-tech sensibility.
The front features a newly designed bumper with a dynamic and three-dimensional shape, giving a strong and bold impression. The two-line headlamps, enhanced with sophisticated MLA technology, include a dynamic welcome function, maximizing Genesis' distinctive brand image.
The GV60 facelift's side profile now features new 21-inch dark metallic gray wheels based on a 5-spoke design, and 20-inch light silver wheels. The color of the existing 19-inch wheels has been changed to dark matte gray. Body-colored wheel arch cladding has been applied to enhance the luxury image.
The rear skid plate matches the body color, adding a modern and robust SUV feel while emphasizing the new GV60's wide and low stance.
The company states that price increases have been minimized. The new GV60's selling prices, including electric vehicle tax benefits, are 64.9 million won (approximately $49,300 USD) for the Standard 2WD, 68.51 million won (approximately $52,100 USD) for the Standard AWD, and 72.88 million won (approximately $55,400 USD) for the Performance AWD.
