We got our hands on the new all-electric Genesis GV60 2023, which is packed with cutting-edge technology. Whether they're convenient or helpful driving aids, or just plain gimmicks, Genesis packed its new EV with a slew of features for techies to enjoy.
The advanced technology in the Genesis GV60 extends to the driving experience as well. The GV60 Advanced has 314 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 6 seconds. The Performance model increases power figures to 429 hp, but includes a round Boost button on the steering wheel that temporarily boosts output to 483 hp and 516 lb-ft. This powertrain's full grunt is available for 10 seconds, allowing the vehicle to reach 60 MPH in about 4 seconds.
It's an incredible rush of speed, but it's insane that this mode only lasts ten seconds - on the street, using it for more than five seconds will get you in serious trouble. However, if you have some private property or a skidpad to play on, you can also use the drift mode to turn the tires into smoke!
The gimmicks and gadgets continue. Because it's an EV, it's eerily quiet, with active noise cancellation to block out any wind or tire noise from the cabin. If you don't like it, the vehicle can play some fake engine sounds through the audio system, with a few options to choose from.
A car must simply get you from point A to point B, preferably safely and in a reasonable time. But when you pay $58,890 for the Advanced model or more than $67,890 for the Performance model, there has to be more to justify the price.
All of this technology isn't required, but it can help to add a sense of occasion to the vehicle, reduce the tedium of an everyday commute, or improve the ownership experience. When you show off all of that to your BMW, Mercedes, or Audi-owning friends, it helps spread Genesis' reputation, which should help the Korean luxury brand gain a few more followers in no time.
