The 2025 Genesis GV60 is a sleek, fun to drive electric SUV that has the looks and features to turn heads, but can it hold its own against a growing number of small electric SUVs. Just like its cousins, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, the Genesis GV60 features many of the same things that we love about the Hyundai and Kia versions, but also takes its own path in terms of styling and a more luxurious interior.
One of the standout features of the GV60 is its quick charging ability. In just 18 minutes, the battery can go from 10 percent to 80 percent. But while its quick charging capabilities impress, the driving range is a bit of a letdown. The Standard version offers an EPA-estimated range of 294 miles, which is competitive, but the Performance version drops down to just 235 miles, making it less ideal for buyers that want the best of both worlds, performance and driving range.
Performance-wise, the GV60 doesn’t disappoint. With up to 429 horsepower in the Performance model (483 horsepower with the boost function engaged), this SUV can accelerate from 0-60 mph in a blistering four seconds. The addition of an adaptive suspension gives it sporty handling, making it surprisingly fun to drive on twisty back roads, rivaling some sports cars. While the Performance version’s specs are enticing, the limited range and price may make buyers consider if they can justify it.
Inside, the GV60 continues to impress with a tech-filled, modern cabin. The 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment system are sleek and user-friendly. The interior also includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a long-awaited upgrade for the 2025 model year,. This tech-forward interior doesn’t come at the cost of comfort either, with the ride remaining smooth even on rougher roads.
The GV60 also offers the flexibility of both single and dual motor configurations, catering to various driving preferences. The dual-motor version, of course, offers more power and traction, but all versions deliver an enjoyable driving experience that stands out among electric SUVs. The distinct styling of the GV60 adds a touch of flair to the EV landscape, setting it apart with a design that’s both futuristic and premium.
However, there are some notable downsides to the GV60 that can’t be overlooked. While the design is striking, the sloping roofline limits the its cargo capacity, making it less practical for those who need ample storage space. Additionally, its availability is limited, with the GV60 not being sold in all 50 states.
The pricing for the 2025 GV60 starts at $53,800 for the base Standard model with RWD, but that price jumps up to $71,350 for the top Performance version. The price tag may be a bit steep, especially the GV60 Performance version. For some, the larger Electrified GV70, which is also offered by Genesis, may seem like a more appealing option, given its roomier interior and overall value.
At the end of the day, the 2025 Genesis GV60 is a great electric SUV that offers excellent performance, a high-tech interior, and fast-charging capabilities. While it excels in driving enjoyment and luxury features, its limited driving range, cargo capacity, and high price tag are some compromises.
