Saw this in the same colour at Batersea power station looked stunning.

I got one a few months ago and it’s a brilliant car. I love the compact coupe style. The interior layout, quality,comfort and tech is amazing and with 5 years servicing and no hassle pick up from home I’m really pleased with it 👍

You (What Car?) deserve a price for testing the Premium version of the GV60! All other reviews I have seen tested the Sport Plus (Performance) version and that one is pricey.

We have one of these and although it’s a nice car the support from Genesis simply isn’t there. We had to call their recovery service - outsourced to AA. Their first response on the phone was “what’s a Genesis?”. The work required the car to be taken by a diesel trailer 260 miles away to their single service centre in Bicester, Although the car is pretty much identical underneath to the Kia EV6 and Ioniq 5, Kia and Hyundai dealers can’t work on it (although they do in the US I think) even though taking to a local dealer would be much more environmentally friendly. And it’s going to take over a week just to be told when the parts will be available. They simply don’t seem to have the infrastructure or logistics in place for this car.

I'm a huge fan of the EV60. Would pick it over the rivals for sure.

Thanks for the review. FYI you don't have to get back in the car and turn it off to unlock the back doors. Believe it or not you just have to press the door 'unlock' button on the driver side door. The door lock feature is a standard Genesis safety feature where the doors lock once you hit set speed, 9mph(15km/h) I think. You can turn it off in settings, or set it to Auto Unlock on Shift to Park, if that's what you like. Like all reviewers if you are going to criticise a perceived issue you really need to understand it and research it just a bit; Least you lose credibility. The driving range on the GV60 is a little below the range on the EV6 because the base GV60 is 100-300kg heavier depending on the EV6 model. You'll also find that Genesis, Hyundai, and Kia do not overstate their EV ranges and that they are quite conservative, at least in countries with sane temperatures, unlike other brands.

Great review , I am now living in Canada i got my GV 60 Advance model here ( sport there ) fantastic car very smooth plenty fast enough the nice thing here in Canada the Advance comes with the premium Napa leather as standard but funny enough not in the US. I have done 8000 miles in 5 months the car has not missed a beat its been in heavy rain and -12c with deep snow and it performs very well , the price maybe a little high , I have the Ioniq5 on order its been 14 months and it keeps getting pushed back i was able to get the GV60 within a week i was happy to pay the higher price its a keeper . I agree with you on the brake peddle and the door locking you get used to it once you catch on. Thanks for the review .

Finally a review of the entry level car! Also glad it's up to date with the recent changes re: comfort pack as standard. You didn't mention the innovation pack, not worth it?

Great review, and some of the comments are valuable to me as I have just put a deposit down on a Sport today following Kia's inability to supply an EV6 GTLS with Heat Pump, after over a year's wait. Hope Genesis are true to their word and can deliver within 5 months.

The Tesla Y looks boring next to the Genesis GV60 model!.

Locked rear doors - for awareness as I found out the hard way when collecting some friends. The doors auto lock when you set off (you can disable this) - I remember my old Citroen C6 also did this. You can unlock without turning the car off by a lock/unlock pair of switches on the drivers doors bin front of the windows controls. Also found out the car must be in neutral or park to open the boot, you can't pull up, leave the car in drive while using auto-hold.

I like the look of this. Saw a matt dark grey one a month ago that didn't impress me especially when apparently the matt finish needs special care when washing .

I get his gripe about the doors being locked without hitting the stop button, but after test driving this car to me it’s actually a safety feature (that I commented to my passenger about). If you are sitting in a parking lot etc after driving this car and the car then thinks you want out, all four door handles go into the “flared out” unlocked position. This is easily seen my people on the outside of the car. Someone could see this and take advantage of the situation and get into your car.

Manufacturers are gouging the market with current EV prices. 50 to 60k is becoming the norm but it ridiculous for a family car. I’m passionate about living a green life and get the argument about lower running cost and maintenance but we’re being ripped off

I have a GV60 in the white and my partner has the new Ioniq 6, both have the same platform. The Ioniq 6 RWD has a longer range but l just love my GV60.

I have the maroon color and I get compliments everyday, I love this SUV.

When I go shopping, I will want to bring our golf clubs to test the storage space. (I will also want to hold my shopping bags and extra jacket which look like they fit in the front - at least with the one motor version).

It's nice that you road tested the Premium (which I take delivery of in March) 👍🏿

no info on the heating and air con and how they affect the range ?

Amazing car. Loved it s0 much I bought one. Best car I’ve owned
