- The first BEV from the Genesis brand is the GV60, sharing a platform with the Ioniq 5 and EV6. It's more luxurious but more expensive, so the guys question its place in the market, how it drives, the new tech, and if you should consider owning one. But most of all, is it any fun?

We bought an Ioniq5 and loved it but wanted more luxury so we got this, thinking we would sell the Ioniq. But we can’t seem to let it go. I am a car lover, born and raised near Detroit Michigan with lots of relatives involved in auto design and manufacturing. Once I drove an EV my mind completely flipped. I had a C7 corvette, but the GV60 is way more fun to drive. ICE cars seem prehistoric to me now. I grant you that The charging infrastructure for these isn’t ready but it is only a matter of time. If I didn’t have a level 2 plug at home I wouldn’t be in EVs yet. I think this year we have saved $2800 by charging at night over what we would have spent on our old Audi Q5 and Mini Cooper Countryman. Last thing - I rented a Tesla for a road trip and this car is WAY better. It isn’t close.
@@frok7744 The GV60 is WAY more luxurious inside. I could make a list a mile long, when you sit in it you will see and feel the difference. The drive is more comfortable, and can vary according to drive mode which the Tesla can’t (except for model s/x). I think Tesla’s software is slipping (the map, for example, is quite dated compared to GV60). And tesla suffers for lack fo carplay. The complete absence of buttons and dials in the tesla for me puts the GV60 clearly ahead. The paddle controlled regen is far preferrable for me. In almost every category the GV60 is better IMHO. The only categories it isn’t are range and charger network.
You sound like me 8 years ago after I test drove and then got the Model S. It was like stepping into the future, OMFG how come no one thought about this earlier. So glad Big Oil's EV FUD campaign of the past decade is slowly but surely coming to an end, let's hope they don't make WW3 to preserve their dominance.
@@kippck3137 Thank you, was hoping to hear from someone with a consumer perspective. I'm really loving the look & performance of the GV60 & I'm considering one - but four things stand in my way:
(1) Range. I live in an apt building & would have to charge it a few blocks away.
(2) Price. The guys in the video above are right, what you're paying for is way more than you're getting, but that's EVs in general.
(3) Handling. I heard the GV60 doesn't handle very well. I know the power is there, but coming up from a Subaru WRX, I've been spoiled with superb handling if nothing else.
(4) Availability. Canadian market is predicted to be sold out til 2026. I'm not crossing a border to buy an EV. I want the car but I'm not a sucker. Plus, EVs are improving every couple of years, so what's going to be available in '26 might be WAY better.
All that said, I still want one & NOW!
@@NunchucksHabit I don’t know if I would go non-tesla yet if I couldn’t charge at home and had to rely on public chargers - the range wont be an issue when there are more charging networks, it will just be like a car with a smaller gas tank, but that is a year or two (or more) away. And the car was expensive, but pound for pound about the same as a tesla Y performance with much more luxury so I considered it a wash, and I really like the luxury so I went with the GV60. I was also concerned about the surprisingly high number of people still complaing about build quality issues with tesla (I just cannot stand rattles and squeaks). Go sit in one if you can, take it for a drive. You will know. Maybe it wont matter much for you, but it did for me. Also, people that say the handling isnt as good just haven’t put the car into sport mode where the dampers and steering tighten up. You can configure it to tighten them in regular confort mode also, but I guess most people don’t realize it.
Got mine a couple of months ago, and love it so much. Free home charger came with the car so I can leave my house with a full tank every day. So comfy and so quick and quiet. This is my first electric, and I’m a convert
We took GV60 Performance delivery first week of Nov. and wife loves it. Complete luxurious! Last month, we purchased another Hyundai IQ5 Limited version (Gravity Gold) and daughter loves it although it doesn't ride like Genesis GV60 it certainly checks off multiple items. It makes my Tesla Model X, feels like it was built back of WalMart parking lot *_^
I purchased the GV60 Advanced in August, really enjoy the car. I think the Advanced at $9k less is the better buy - still plenty fast (as I tell people, I can still make the passenger nauseous if I want) and loaded with options most people want. I have a level 2 charger at home (after incentives, very little net cost), so is extremely convenient. As somewhat of a comparison, I rented a Tesla 3 about a month ago while on a business trip. It made me appreciate my GV60, could not get used to everything on the middle screen (felt like my eyes kept leaving the road), luxury/fit/finish on GV60 is better, etc. The Tesla S is a likely different comparison, but if comparing to the 3/Y models, I would take GV60 all day.
My girlfriend had a 2013 Hyundai Sonata and it literally caught on fire.😃
This car looks beautiful and I would buy it if I have the money. All the Genesys are super cutting edge and the value factor is unbeatable.
You guys can make anything interesting. Great review! 🤩
I love the presentation these guys put out. They're prepared, they're pleasant, well spoken, VERY informative & they don't pelt us with nonsense & music videos. This is a compliment, btw - while these guys might be funny as hell in person, they know how funny they are not on video, and they move along. The very little goofing around they do is totally within the parameters of what you're watching this video for. There are so many channels with performative people bringing the cringe. Not these guys. Every question I would ask about a car, they do it.
I too was first attracted to this car because of the interior. My parents had a 2000 Lexus LS400 with the light brown interior & I've been enduring black interiors since. You can't get a nice light brown leather or leather-like interior on anything less than $80k these days....
I've also been saying that this is the best sub-$100k EV on the market. I was about to buy a Tesla Y Performance, but Elon happened, so I started looking around a bit & this one just destroys every EV I've seen so far. Interiors like this are SO DAMNED OVERDUE. I'll go on for a half hr lambasting the hideous interiors of Tesla & easily 90% of cars on the market. I thought I was just a cranky old bastard, turns out I wasn't JUST a cranky old bastard. I've been waiting for car companies to catch up to Mercedes with some interior innovation.
Without the complexities of ICE and transmissions, I certainly hope we're finally looking at getting the reliability we deserve.
Glad you’re enjoying what we do. Thank you for watching!
Love you guys! I would not consider an EV at this point if its my only car but I can appreciate the potential alternative to fossil fuels, and you guys are very informative.
One thing I do know is that you could not give me a Tesla for free and certainly nothing from Hyundai/Kia at this point.
How long will the tech last before being a problem? Good work, thank you.
Hi! Can you review the 2023 Lincon Corsair Premium or Grand Touring?
I own one of these cars. I have the Performance Edition. Beautiful car. Great driving car. The thorn in the side for the brand, sending 6 rear spoilers to replace my defective one. They were scratched and broken. My original one was warped.
Ford saleman 😊
Looks really nice, inside and out, kind of makes me want one. But not willing to give up my Stinger for it. But I can't see passing this up for a Mach E or Model Y or just about any other of its competitors.
Great review!!! I love this vehicle. I’ve had Tesla,s Y and 3, and Polestar 2. NO COMPARISON. Fit, finish, technology and beautiful interior comfort. And it even has a crystal ball!
Thanks again for your great review
BTW. I do my charging from in my garage. 😊
Beauuuutiful looking car!!
What’s the charging network like?
Fun review. Nice cuv.
The range is the only holdup for me. I drove the gv70 last year and the styling looks similar.
Hey fellas, isn't there a individual mode?
I think so, were you can have comfort suspension with sport steering and transmission....no?
Correct!
My only gripe is no opening of the moon roof like the EV6 pano open roof would have made this a beast
Nice car. Wish I could check it out in Texas. So far Genesis has been restrictive on what states it wants to sell in. Still worried about the CCS network.
They sell them in TX... check autotrader and you'll find them in the Houston area.
The U.S. Census Bureau lists the annual real median personal income at $35,977 in 2019. Kelley Blue Book data suggests that the average electric car in 2022 costs $62,876, and the average cost of a gasoline-powered four-door sedan is around $30,000. It costs $1000-2000 to put a charger in your home, if you own a home, and electricity isn't free. How are EVs a practical choice?
Not paying for gas isn't an advantage when electricity is $0.35 a kw like it is in the northeast! The latest Prius will be cheaper to drive than most electrics at half the upfront cost.
Thank god the Toyota president understands this and isn’t jumping on the ev bandwagon
Gorgeous car, and Hyundai/Genesis are screwed together properly these days. But as someone who drives a lot, range anxiety still gets me. Im still on hybrids, I need that gas engine to fall back on if a 2 hour stop in the middle of no where either isn't possible or practical
Huh. It's almost like adjustable shocks only harmonize with non-adjustable springs on one setting. The EV6 sport mode is the only one it should have.
I’m not anti EV but have no interest in them until the infrastructure is available. The weight bothers me as well, but this is a nice vehicle.
Yeah the weight concerns me. The infrastructure not so much as I am considering one as a third vehicle so it's not going on road trips - but weight eats tires.
More range would help mitigate the infrastructure issue. That probably requires the next generation of battery tech - lithium batteries may be maxed out.
TESLA has more than 45,000 Superchargers in the USA and are Super RELIABLE .
TESLA also makes the BEST cars Worldwide.
@@markplott4820 The charger network is legit. I never found a Tesla that appealed to me.
@@markplott4820 Tesla's are awful in both looks and quality
can't wait till you guys test drive the 2024 chevy tax
Genesis give you 5 years free servicing and a free home charger installed at your house. Got a dark grey matte finish and love mine so much. Best vehicle ever bought.
But have you heard the issues with Genesis service? I'm planning on buying a G80 but the reviews for dealing with dealerships (Hyundai and Genesis) are terrible.
@@AmericanBusinessman422 I haven’t heard anything but i will find out in September
How can the posture control work without knowing your torso to leg ratio? I found it impossible to sit in the EV6 comfortably because of my long torso, I ended up in a position where I couldn't read the gauge cluster. I had to duck my head to see what speed I was going.
Posture control seems like a hacked together feature that they had to do because the EV6 platform is so un-ergonimic
@@thirdpedalnirvana are you answering your own questions?
I feel like the move with EV's for people in the parts of the country with "real winter" is to have a beater gas car for winter. (1) gas cars have great heaters (2) who wants to be the first to see how road salts affect EV battery packs?
Heat in my cheapo leaf is amazing. Instantly warm. Don’t have to wait like on my Ridgeline. It’s just comes on.
@@paulheuer5809 that's cause it uses resistance heating like in a hair dryer, but your sucking down power that can't compete with gas. Once a gas car is warm I can put it on full blast with the windows open and I don't worry about any range or energy usage...it's Free Heat. Plus free electricity from the alternator running everything else...
If the gauge cluster is going to be a screen, can it at least be sunk into the dash panel and NOT a rectangle? No? Cubicle-chic is the new styling trend? Ugh. I don't get it.
The color of that interior does not hide stains well at all 😬
I think that "sport mode" is in any variant i quess 🥴 otherwise.. great review 👏 wonderful car and unbelievable interior 🙌 bad range and charging infrastructure is like 👎 5 years from now things will be a lot different 😉 keep up with good work 🍻
People always want more range…why? Where the hell are you driving in one day for 200+ miles. The average driver doesn’t take long trips, so the range in this car is just fine for most people.
Exactly, do people work or are they in the car 3 to 4 hours a day?
Exactly! I say the same thing! Who has the ability to road trip on the regular?? I barely drive 100 miles a week, most weeks, less than that. The range is just fine on this and most EV’s.
Lovely rig. the rear slope is a nice design touch..ditch the wheels though.
wheels are better looking than 90% of the rest one the roads
I went from a Lexus to a Tesla M3P .. my main issues with other EV’s is the range! And the charging … most can’t beat tesla.. there’s so many car brands with the EV’s… what’s going on with the charging infrastructure! Also, 300 mile range should be the bare minimum!
When "fun" means only great acceleration and good initial turn-in, and someone is saying this is more fun than C7, something has fundamentally changed in what driving fun means. Apparently acceleration has completely replaced vehicle dynamics and driving feel as the criteria. Only encourages people to drive at dangerous speeds because it's the only way to make it "fun."
We don’t think this is more fun than a C7 corvette or any dedicated sports car, and we hope no one thinks that. Meanwhile we’ve discussed the “going fast doesn’t equal fun” problem at length on our podcast. We agree with you. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for your reply. I know you guys and me are on the same team. I might even call this "fun for a luxury family hauler," and if I had the funds to have a truly fun car plus a luxury vehicle, this would be worth a look.
I am the guy who sold the five year old C7 and bought this. It is true that the C7 cornered better - I grant you that, and I loved the sound. And I definitely look forward to the electric porshe boxster coming in a couple of years. I wouldn’t characterize it simply as acceleration, but the smooth, sudden, and refined character of the power, in this and even to a degree our Ioniq 5, is what made me bored with the C7. (I’m even someone who went to racing camp out in Las Vegas for a week, so I am familiar with how to push it) To each his own, I suppose.
I do like hot dogs. I think this is the ev for me
Personally I'd have the Cadillac but can't deny that this seems like an excellent vehicle
the Cadillac is $130,000 base model............lol.
@@markplott4820 what are you smoking? Per car and driver: the Cadillac Lyriq starts at $62,990
@@bcrandeis - and Where is the LYRIQ ? its not even shipping...........lol.
also, Lyriq is using OUTDATED pouch cells from LG that Start FIRES.
good luck with that.
The building I live in has no charging options at all, so you'd think that this wouldn't be for me. However, since I only drive about 150-200 miles per week around town, all I would need to do is find a DC fast charger for about an hour a week. If I want luxury, this might actually be perfect for me.
then thats ILLEGAL , you wethin your Rights to SUE. Class action Lawsuit.
multi units HAVE TO provide BEV charging for all. thats the LAW.
Nothing but a loaded KONA with nicer leather...lol
Just say you can't afford it kid.
Hearing your thoughts on this car and seeing the video, oh my, makes me hopeful of the future and that auto manufacturers still have a clue about how to create an interesting car. Everyone can go by a boring Tesla that farts and doing so would be a daily reminder of how I’ve settled for the lowest common denominator out of convenience. I drove a minivan now, I don’t need any more of that, thank you. I want something with character, style and a little substance that invigorates my interest in the car I drive and my joy of driving. I’ll stop before I start sounding like a medication commercial for “guy” issues. It happens to allot of us, so I hear.
NOPE, the GV60 uses the GIMP Platform that is GAS car based, made by Hyundai and shared w/ IONIQ 5 and EV6.
are 3 cars are GAS car based, are SLOW, short RANGE and Inefficient.
they are lacking a Dedicated BEV Skateboard platform. making them too HEAVY and less SAFE.
$70k / 217mi = $322 per mile.. Dang!
Economics about to hit automakers and people fast and loose with their money hard.
How does this compare to the EV6? Unfortunately there is a Tesla charge station literally 3 miles from my house. While I hate the idea of big overbearing government if that same government is going to outlaw ICE then they need to mandate the charging system needs to be universal (like gas nozzles).
Easily over 70K+ with taxes out here in my State. For a car that will be obsolete fast and depreciate quickly. LOL. Car makers are thinking we are living in the boom years of 2021 and first half of 2022 - they have a nasty surprise waiting.
I’d probably buy the Tesla just because of the charging network.
lol, eye of sauron kakakakakak
I think I agree, this vehicle makes it hard to buy a Model Y. This is substantially less expensive than the Model Y and it doesn't have the interior compromises the Model Y has. Real leather rather than polyurethane, instrument panel in front of you, better fit and finish, and a company that actually makes replacement parts available to 3rd party garages.
REAL leather will be OUTLAWED soon.
its UNSUSTAINABLE.
TESLA makes the Superior AUSTIN model Y Performance and all TESLA have Sustainable Interiors.
TESLA cars last loger and have better Prformance.
Unfortunately right now sales are limited to only a few states.
I have no interest in owning an EV. I still rather take a couple minutes to fill up at a gas station instead of waiting 40 mins or hours to fill up at a charge station. But if I had too own one I would pick this, or most other EVs over any Tesla, infact Tesla would not be on my list. This looks way better than any Tesla and I'm not a fan of these jumbo sized screens that are being put in any car these days not just Tesla. But what is an absolute deal breaker for me and the main reason of many why I won't even consider a Tesla is that everything is done through a screen, even the most simplest task which takes a lot longer to do because you have to go through menus to get to it instead of having a dedicated button to turn on or off. It's absolutely frustrating and absurd and I thought things should be intuitive, and focus on driving.
For me the Eye of Sauron is the Bio Metric tech. I would not go near this tubby surveillance device with a ten foot Gandalf staff.
I love driving the EV6 but I hate every design decision in the interior with such a raging, fiery passion, that as soon as I have to stop at a light, I hate myself for being inside it. For this reason, XC40 EV.
The style of this car is similar to Tesla's round jelly bean looks.
God I hate the interior so much. Why does every automaker think our happy place is the office cubicle? Doesn't anyone working for a car company realize that maybe people who get all their entertainment from tvs and smartphones and who make a living on a computer screen may want driving to NOT be screen time?
No Infrastructure. No interest. No cash 💰
$70,000+ is a overpriced joke. 😂. The depreciation on this overpriced thing will be shocking in a couple of years.
First car that has a 1,000 KM range at half this price makes it immediately obsolete.
Very nice but too expensive. The Lyriq wins, for now. Love the interior of both.
Lyriq won't last long.
It's too expensive but a Cadillac Lyriq is fine .... 🤡
How can he say this is roughly the same range as the model Y? Hahaha. Model Y is over 315 and the GV60 has under 230. Hahahaha
How can you say the model Y is luxury?
Ev cars are totally inconvenient.
It depends on your situation - where you live, your house wiring, home charger, a garage, & job distance. There are some EVs that do better than others. If so, it’s way easier than wasting time finding a gas station.
@@jpnw3272 The fact that you start your sentence by saying, "depends"...and then rattle off a list of "inconveniences" is exactly the problem. When you get to that gas station you quickly jump out refill and you are on your way instead of plotting your trip in advance only to show up and charger is out of service and or/waiting to become a victim of crime while waiting around. EVs are just not for everyone. And that's OK.
Video is almost done and no explanation of what's under the hood. What's there?
Batteries hahahaha
Wat
One of two electric motors that put out whatever HP numbers they listed at the beginning. Does it really matter to you what the wattage and voltage are? Oh, there's probably windshield washer and brake fluid reservoirs as well. 😏
That's funny....wait till you see what's under the hood of a Tesla...you'll want your money back... 😂
Tesla’s infrastructure sets them miles ahead of the closest competitor. The reliability of knowing there are reliable charging stations in more places than the competition is a huge selling point. People overlook the other issues( panel gaps, old tech, no apple car play) when you know you can almost charge anywhere. Range and HP numbers are still competitive as well….
The Tesla charging network in most places is just near the interstate...I'd have to drive about 10 miles to charge it from home. Only people in California really benefit from it... That's why we are all driving gas cars amongst many other reasons...
All Hyundai ev's will be converting to Tesla plugs in 2024, so will be able to use the Supercharger network
The idea of sport mode on something almost 2.5 tons escapes me. Its like trying to have a luxury mode on a dump truck
I hear you - It’s a case where you really have the drive an EV hard yourself in order to be convinced.
The range is poor. The interior looks very nice. The cold weather issues are huge in wisconsin. Its 7 degrees outside and we have a huge winter snow storm coming. I would not want to be sitting four hours on the freeway burning up the limited battery. The bs about seat heaters is foolish when its single digits or colder like its outside my house right now.
I generally love your content, but you have done this car and the EGMP platform a disservice. You make it sound like it’s just a commuter car while only discussing Level 2 240V charging and ignoring its incredible DC Fast Charging capability. This platform is among the fastest charging on the planet with a claimed and independently verified 10-80% charge in 18 minutes. At those speeds the car is likely ready to go before you get back from going to the restroom and grabbing a snack. They are phenomenal road trippers.
If you want a light, playful, good handling EV that really is just a commuter car, then check out the MINI Cooper SE. I’ve had mine for 2.5 years and 18k super enjoyable miles already and it’s a riot both in commute traffic as well as throwing it around canyon roads. Bonus, with only a 32 kWh battery it charges at home in a couple hours.
Currently, working DC fast chargers are not common. There aren’t any fast chargers in our area even though we have a large percentage of electric car owners. All manufacturers discuss how fast their cars can charge in ideal conditions, but many considering EVs don’t realize that the infrastructure isn’t common yet. Thanks for watching.
