The 2023 Genesis GV60 Performance is ultra-quick and extremely luxurious.
Like in so many fast EVs, the absurd straight-line speed is enthralling, but only to a point. It's really a party trick, something to scare your friends and family with when you buy the car, and to play with every so often, when the opportunity presents itself.
I don't know if the Performance trim justifies its near-$10,000 premium. The extra features and speed are great, but nearly $70,000 for such a small car is a tough sell. Plus, going for the Performance trim reduces range from 248 miles to 235 miles. The fact that the GV60 can accept a charge up to 350 kW, like its Hyundai and Kia siblings, does a lot to compensate for what may seem like a low range, though its siblings both go further on a charge.
The GV60 also exposes a problem with offering performance EV variants in general. It's not like the difference between a four- and six-cylinder car, where springing for the bigger engine brings extra speedWhere the GV60 excels is in normal daily driving. It's so refined and easy, smoothing out any road imperfections and cocooning the driver in absolute comfort. On the highway, it's nearly silent and the standard driver-assist systems work flawlessly.
This is the sort of car you could fall in love with just sitting inside for a few minutes, before ever shifting it to drive. Genesis has a tough job on its hands convincing customers out of well-established luxury brands, and it needs to pull out all the stops to do so. With this interior, it's done exactly that.Genesis is winning with design, too.
All that aside, the GV60 is thoroughly excellent, further proof that the best cars in the world are coming from Korea.
