Genesis: Strong Stromer Debut of the GV60 🎥
DESIGN SHOWcase With the GV60, Genesis presents its first fully electric model in Switzerland. Typical for the newcomer, which is available in three drive variants, are the many special design and equipment features.
The five-door, 4.52-meter-long GV60 is the first purely battery-electric vehicle from the Hyundai Group's premium Genesis brand. It is available in three performance and equipment variants, which can be further upgraded individually with several option packages.
And Genesis promises even more in a moment.
Dominique Boesch, Managing Director of Genesis Europe, said, "The GV60 is the first of three electric models to be launched this year - and it signals the brand's commitment to full electrification by 2025."
Original glass ball for the choice of courses
It is true that there is an outward resemblance to the Group's sibling model, the Kia EV6, and there is also a close relationship in terms of the most important drive components. Nevertheless, the GV60 SUV coupe clearly stands out.
From the outside, the completely different front end, the special headlights, the wheel design and the digital rearview mirror, whose images are displayed in the interior on a screen in the door, are striking.
A feature highlight of the GV60 interior is the glass sphere, called Crystal Sphere. It rotates before the vehicle is started and then serves as a rotary switch for the direction of travel. The other materials used in the cockpit are also of high quality.
Pleasantly relaxed cruising at all times
Even the 168 kW Premium version (350 Nm, 229 hp) with rear-wheel drive and the three driving modes Comfort, Eco and Sport offers sedan comfort and always plenty of power reserves.
Two engines and all-wheel drive are part of the Sport and Sport Plus versions - with outputs of 234 and 360 kW (324 and 490 hp) and beefy torques of 605 and 700 Nm. In the Sport Plus version, in which peak power is only activated at the push of a boost button, the car accelerates to 100 km/h in just four seconds.
This model can be driven very confidently in Comfort mode and in 1-pedal mode. The car drives sportily and safely through curves without transmitting road irregularities too strongly to the inside.
Charge from ten to 80 percent in 18 minutes
Thanks to 800-volt technology, the 77.4-kWh battery is charged from ten to 80 percent in just 18 minutes at the 350-kW charging station. Various packages are available for the seats and audio system. As a further special feature, the Outdoor package can supply power to external devices thanks to vehicle-to-load technology.
Of course, the brand's typical service is also part of the GV60: Genesis' GPA (Genesis Personal Assistant) takes care of all handling for maintenance work and supplies a replacement vehicle. The first deliveries of the new electric Genesis will take place after June 7, 2022, at prices of 53,000, 59,500 and 77,700 Swiss francs.
