Wow, what a great hands-on review, especially with references to your past experiences with other EVs! This car is on my wish list! -- Model 3 owner (LR/AWD)

Really great point about profiles needing to include all aspects of driving. I think this should also include settings for climate.

Great review , I just got my GV 60 advance 3 weeks ago and I love it , I am in Canada and the nice thing about the advance here it had the same trim level as the performance you get that nice quilted Napa leather . The only hole I can pick in the car was the center console I wish it was deeper rather than the hard to get too storage under it , also a sliding console would have been nice like the Ioniq5 has on the Ultimate . But all in all its amazing .

You are exactly right about the integration of charge planning (for the entire trip) on the navigation system.

A factual and honest review of a great car - thank you very much for that! I ordered a GV60 Sport in Germany and am really looking forward to the car. Oh, of course I pressed the subscription button! 🤠 Best regards, Michael

Thank you, my friend. I am excited to start this channel to talk about cars, especially EVs. You are going to love your GV60. My wife has now taken it over as her daily......

Spot on with your review. I have had my GV60 for 3 months now and love the car. I do have the performance with slightly less range. But the smoothness and build quality is fantastic. You are right with the nav system. Our 2 trips required me doing the figuring of chargers and miles to stop. But the charge speed was great. My wife was surprised at how quick it can charge up.

Sounds like a fantastic car love everything about it the looks I love that you said the car is very smooth I do a lot of road trips I think I'm going to have to wait till they get these cars to go 350 MI or 400 on a single charge I have owned three genesis they are great cars can't beat the warranty 👍

Excellent video. I give you a thumb up for your comments about your likes on the Genesis GV60 which is an amazing Ev. But I really give you a very Big Thumb up about your dislikes on the GV60. I own an Ioniq 5 SEL and I feel very disappointed with the navigation system. You are absolutely right when saying that Genesis, Hyundai and Kia must improve the navigation system since it is extremely important that any electric vehicle be able to plan the charging stops during a road trip. I hope that this video is being watched by them so they can improve the feature in a near software update.

Purchased a white GV60 Advanced from Mitch at Genesis of Milford and drove it back to NC. They were easy to work with and it’s a great car

What a beautiful car!!!! I love it!!!

Thanks for this review. This may be the only full review (not just a walkthrough) of the Advanced model and is the version I hope to be getting (I have only driven the Performance version). I was glad to hear you really liked the ride quality. Can you comment on the acceleration since this is the smaller output version? My guess with 314hp and torque >400, acceleration is probably still quite good and for most people, would be all you need.

Excellent review! I live in NJ and should have my gv60 in a few weeks. Glad to hear ur comments on the great ride in the Advanced. My dealership only has a performance for test driving so I was nervous that I might not be happy because of the difference in suspension systems. Glad you made the road trip safely but those navigation/charging stations issues are a real bummer. I suppose it's due to 3rd party charging if all of the non telsa evs are having the same issues.

In the Door you have 2 Buttons for Profiles and in the Menue you have 3 profiles... makes 6 possible profiles in the car......in Germany.

We have a dilemma between the 2023 GV60 and the Model Y. Tesla has a well-established charging infrastructure and EA is not so great based on customer reviews. We plan on using the car for occasional summertime road trips. We love the GV60, but the Model Y is selling at a lower price as we speak. what are your thoughts? Anyone else experiencing the same dilemma?

Loved your video. Very informative! I think I’ve narrowed my first electric car down to the GV60, so have watched every video on KZread. There aren’t very many out there on the Advanced package. Can you do another video showing the interior of your car. Trying to cut costs as much as possible and don’t feel I need the extra speed the performance model offers. I was more concerned about comfort and it sounds like the Advanced package may be the way to go.

Maybe this will be the answer to nav issues ... Google Maps' newest feature will let you pick your car's engine type, with "Gas," "Diesel," "Electric," and "Hybrid" available as options for the eco-route planning to consider. Google says "in the coming weeks," the feature will roll out to the US, Europe, and Canada. Europe is also getting its first taste of Google Maps eco-routing, starting today.

A very in depth review. 8 stops in an 1100 mile trip is a stop under every 200 miles. At 15 minutes each that is 2 hrs of time. Going from 20-80% I assume. To me the vehicle seems better suited for a daily commute than a long distance trip.

@CarSpecGarage

Жыл бұрын

I did not mind the stops, it breaks up the trip and you get to meet other EV owners. I would like it to be around 320 miles of range, but the larger the pack the longer it would take to charge. So it’s more of a trade off range versus charging speed.

You mention having the Audi eTron but didn't really note any comparisons. How does the GV60 compare?

@CarSpecGarage

Жыл бұрын

It's hard to compare the two. The e-tron is a much bigger SUV and maybe a little more luxury inside. The range on the GV60 is better than the e-tron and I would say charging is pretty close 10-80%. I like the GV60 a little better; it feels more sporty.

I’m working on writing a blog post about how to conveniently charge EV’s and having dealership charging is high on my list. Especially fast charging. We have a local Chevrolet dealership that has charging bays (including one fast charging) but why don’t all dealerships have it?

8 stops in 1100 miles sounds like it's more of a city car than for long haul road trips. I guess you could make it work if you're the type that likes to take multiple breaks on long trips. I just did a road trip from Vancouver to Las Vegas in my G90 and I stopped 3 times for fuel. 10 min stop and I'm good for another 600+ miles. My next car will likely be electric, I'm hoping new battery tech will give me that kind of range/charge times by the time I'm looking to upgrade.

1100/8 = 137.5 miles between charging. The car has a range of 330 miles, so 10% to 80% is about 231 miles... I can understand not wanting to get down to 10%, but 8 stops is a bit excessive in my book for this car...
