Genesis GV60 redesign debuts in Korea with more range, luxury, and fun new features

The Genesis GV60 has been “reborn” and is now better in every way. Although already impressive, Genesis gave the GV60 its first major redesign since launching in 2021 with even more driving range, a stylish new design, and fun features like Virtual Gear Shift (VGS). The updated electric SUV debuted in Korea on Thursday. For those in the US and Europe, don’t worry, you’re up next.

Genesis GV60 redesign goes on sale in Korea

After arriving in October 2021, the GV60 quickly became known as a well-rounded, luxury electric SUV with advanced tech and fast charging capabilities.

The GV60 is the first Genesis model built on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, the same one underpinning the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and Kia’s EV lineup.

With its fourth-generation 84 kWh battery, the Genesis GV60 redesign is now certified with a driving range of up to nearly 300 miles (481 km) in Korea. That’s up from 280 miles (451 km) in the outgoing model with a 77.4 kWh battery.

The AWD model now packs up to 490 horsepower (360 kW) and 700 Nm max torque with Boost Control. The added power is good for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 4 seconds.

Genesis also improved charging speeds, even in lower temperatures. Using a 350 kW fast charger, the new GV60 can charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.

More luxury, style, and fun features

Genesis boasted that the GV60 “has been reborn with a more refined exterior design. ” One of the most noticeable improvements is up front, with a refreshed bumper and the brand’s signature Two Line headlamps, now with Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology that welcomes you when you unlock the car.

At the rear, Genesis fine-tuned the rear skid plate to match the body color, adding to the electric SUV’s low, wide stance.

You can see the interior received a major overhaul with its new 27″ cciC (connected car Integrated Cockpit) infotainment system. The new setup “eliminates the bezel” between having different closer and navigation screens.

The car also has a new three-spoke steering wheel, center console, and crash pad, which give it a more sporty feel.

Genesis didn’t just update the styling, it also made the GV60 more comfortable and fun to drive. With improved front and rear shock absorber valves on the ECS, you will feel even less vibration on the road.

A new Electronic Active Sound Design (e-ASD) system and added soundproofing helps maximize the quiet interior.

The GV60 redesign now includes a new Electronic Active Sound Design (e-ASD) feature. You can choose from “Horizon” or “Heritage: Black” to mimic the sounds of a six-cylinder engine.

Like Hyundai’s performance EV, the IONIQ 5 N, the new GV60 is equipped with a Virtual Gear Shift (VGS) function that gives you that shifting gears feeling and a hidden Drift Mode, for well, you know drifting.

The Standard 2WD model starts at 64.9 million won ($45,000) in Korea, ranging up to 72.88 million won ($50,000) for the Performance AWD variant.

Following its domestic launch, the GV60 redesign is expected to debut in the US, Europe, and other global markets later this year.

In the US, the base 2025 Genesis GV60 starts at $52,350. The AWD trim costs $55,850, while the Performance AWD model is priced at $69,900. With up to 294 miles range on the current model, the new Genesis GV60 could get upwards of 300 miles EPA-estimated range.
