Genesis GV60: Watch this before buying an Ioniq 5!

Jack takes a look around the new GV60, the maiden EV from Korean luxury brand, Genesis. If you’ve never heard of them, that’s understandable - they only came to the European market last year. Typically, new brands who try to encroach on the posh family car space that the German trifecta of BMW, Audi and Mercedes has dominated for decades don’t fare especially well - just ask Infiniti. But Jack suspects this new upstart may be in with a better chance of success. Check out the video to find out why.

So, which would you go for - the Ioniq 5, the EV6 or the GV60? Tell us below..

I bought an Ioniq 5 after my wife and I fell in love with it while watching your review. It’s our first new car and our first EV. We managed to get one of the Project 45 launch models and it’s an absolute joy to drive. While I like the idea of a more driver focussed car I just love the looks of the Ioniq 5. There’s just nothing else like it on the road.

[Smidge]

I love the color. And by "love" I mean I appreciate that manufacturers seem more willing to use audacious and unique colors for their EVs, getting away from the typical red/grey/black/white/blue.

[ewadge]

What I really like about this car is that it is a bit smaller than the EV6 which is really too big for my liking. I still think the Ioniq 5 is the best looking one though.

[mundungous]

Bloody gorgeous! Can’t wait til I can afford a second hand one in about 15 years time

[Larry]

Will it be called the Mega Drive when it's released in the UK? :D

[squalloogal]

Editor forgot the links at the end again I see. Robert always looks stupid pointing them out when they don’t exist. Really need to sort that out guys. If you’re not going to have the links, leave out Robert talking about them.

Still happy to be a member 😊

I'm a Korean. I already signed a contract with the gv60. But because of semiconductor problems, the car dealer said you will have to wait more than a year. ㅠㅠ

[Gillibrand]

I have placed an order for a Kia EV6 based purely on your review…can’t wait to get it!

[Hundseier]

I just returned from the Fully Charged show where I got to sit in both the Hyundai and the Kia. What an eye opener? I also sat in the Audi and VW offerings and surprised myself with realising just how much more pleasant the Korean offerings are. Choosing between the EV6 and Ionniq 5 would not be easy as there are details on both which I like... a lot. Adding the Genesis GV60 to the mix makes things a bit more complicated but, based on this video review, I suspect I might be placing an order for the Genesis GV60 when it comes available.

[Pressbutan]

I think I like the EV6 most of all. Seems to be the best value

[wnhevenhuis]

I think of the 3 the ioniq 5 still looks the most amazing. It's the most amazing blend of modern but retro, daring outer design, roomy interior. I think genesis looks very clean in contrast. I think the 21 inch wheels is a sad feature. I would eventually change them to 19 or 18 inch wheels in time for better comfort which ruins the overal design profile and an ovetsized wheelarch. For now it looks cool, but when people want to change tires the car will look ugly.

Apart from the silly lightning bolt on the C-Pillar I reckon they’ve nailed the styling. Can someone please convince Genesis to start supplying the New Zealand market! We’ve had the Ionic 5 for a wee while (my 81yr old uncle just bought one) and EV6 arrives in a few months time I believe. Can’t wait!

[suryadnb]

If I had to choose... wait, I already did, and I went for the Ioniq 5 and I don't regret it! I also think it's the best looking one.

[cowcar]

I cannot express, as an American, how jealous I am of Europe's selection of EV's as well as the established infrastructure. It is extremely frustrating to have to wait to catch up in this sector.

[JJs_playground]

In the past 5 years Hyundai / Kia / Genesis have been knocking it out of the park in the style department lately. Glad to see the trend continues with the EVs. Their styling is seriously making me consider moving away from my Mercedes-Benz.

[dmpanis]

Every time I see a review of this guy I wanna buy the car! Super great car and great presentation!

[oliverstemp]

It looks stunning, I’d definitely have this colour as well.

I’ve just returned from Fully Charged Live UK 2022 Farnborough. What a great show - and seeing some of these cars in the flesh can be so different to just watching the videos.

I got to test drive the Ioniq 5 and EV6 back to back - and that claim of a sportier drive for the EV6 must just be at the limits - I couldn’t tell them apart on the main roads ( bumpy sections, dual carriage way and some bendy bits).

Got to sit in the GV60 and the luxuriousness of the interior is mind blowing it doesn’t come over in the video - it’s the touch and feel. And the infotainment system although the same hardware two 12.3” screens (curved like the KIA) runs a more attractive modern interface.

I’ve got an KIA EV6 GT line AWD w/ heat pump on order ( delivery delayed twice now as it seems in the situation in the industry at the moment) but I’ve doubled down and placed an express of interest in the GV60 Sport ( mid range - will need to lower my performance spec and even then will be pushing the budget). But that extra refinement for road trips will be glorious. It’s seriously an interior which makes you go “wow!”.

The interior space is still very good - Jack is a very tall lad!

What the Hyundai group has given us is a great selection of new generation 800v architecture cars (Ioniq 5, EV6, GV60) for various tastes and budgets- what an exciting time to be shopping for an EV!

Picked up my gv60 performance 2 weeks ago here in Australia. Matt white exterior with the blue interior. Very cool, very refined, and very fast!
