As an electric SUV, the GV60 is great.
, we approached the first all-electric SUV from Genesis with a different mindset for our Performance Vehicle of the Year event. Given that the GV60 has impressive horsepower and torque numbers and the word"Performance" in the top-tier trim's name, we were hoping for some, you know, all-around performance. But after a couple of laps in the GV60 around, we quickly came to the conclusion that it's best enjoyed in a straight line.
When pushed hard around the track, the GV60 exhibited a significant amount of body roll, and virtually every judge complained about the seat belt tensioner squeezing during even moderately aggressive cornering. The judges also took issue with the Michelin Primacy tires, which often squealed for mercy and lacked the grip a performance SUV should deliver. To be fair, that's on Genesis and not Michelin, as the Primacies aren't track-focused rubber.
Too bad the Boost button can't also increase the GV60's range, which at 235 miles to a charge is below what some of the newest EVs on the market can deliver. But on the plus side, when it gets low on powercapability—from 15 to 80 percent charge in about 18 minutes at a 350 kW DC fast charger—is duly impressive.
