Mixed

There are a lot of things to like about the GV60 such as comfort and looks, but there are a lot of things that detract, the main one being the user interface of the car's system. The best word for the interface is obtuse -- coming from a Tesla Model 3, the GV60 interface is complicated and difficult to master. Really complicated and difficult. It also requires action when none should be necessary. My biggest pet peeve is that requiring several steps to leave the car when you park (put in park, turn off car, open door, close door, lock door) if you forgot that last one - lock door - it will leave the car unlocked and with those door handles that fan out, it's like having a sign on the car that says "I'm open; take a look." All this was done automatically in the Tesla. It's very frustrating because the capability is in the car to do this -- just lock the darn car 15 seconds when fob is not detected -- but this is not implemented. Note: the app will tell you that the car is unlocked after several minutes but you had better notice this notification in the app and not be otherwise distracted. Another good example (especially compared to the Tesla) is the camera feature to monitor your surroundings when parked. My god. In the Tesla this was seamless and you'd get a nice camera feed and keep it up as long as you wanted. In the GV60? Well, you get just some one snapshot pictures from each of the cameras - no live video - and there is a limit on how many of these you can request in one day (4-5 I think). I also perplexed why the car makes no attempt to connect to my home wifi. Why? Some of these features would be easier to do via wifi but it has no capability to connect. Frustrating.

2025 GV60 EV Base Model

The GV60 is an excellent next generation vehicle. It is a comfortable, quick crossover that is agile, handles well, accelerates quickly and stops well. The ride is comfortable enough (without floating) to be an excellent touring car. The overall size of the vehicle is excellent. But there are some rough edges; e.g. it lacks both an opening sunroof and the ability to automatically lock all doors upon leaving the vehicle. The menu interface is not always complete nor clear and the documents included with the car are weak. Headroom in the rear is compromised by the sloping roof line. One-pedal driving is great, but it cannot be set as the default. Long distance traveling is still limited by the charging infrastructure -- even California is still short of DC charging stations. It will get better when Tesla chargers are fully integrated. Overall, this is a really good driving, excellent vehicle.

Nice car, but you could learn from others...

We owned a Tesla Model S for 5 years and when things started to go wrong in 2023, traded it in for an Ioniq 6. This year we traded in our Prius for the Genesis GV60. I was hoping that the GPS in the Genesis would be better than the one in the Ioniq 6. One thing that Tesla really got right was the map/nav/gps system. It would be so great to once again get in the car on Monday morning and find that the car has already set the navigation for Work. When I get in the GV60 and hit Nav, the first thing I should see should be a one button for my favorites. No, I have to go digging and responding to prompts to just get my route set up. We use the adaptive cruise control all the time. Tesla was much better at that, too. Love the crystal ball. The puddle light was the best surprise ever.

fun but can improve tech

the car is a nice ride and fun to drive, but lacks in tech compared to the popular Tesla. genesis would have to step their game in this area. carplay for IOS doesn't automatically set up live unless it's connected to the cable v android automatically picks up. the levels 1-3 + max are confusing and play out differently. still haven't figured out which is most battery saving way to drive on the highway. city seems to be max but you'd think it would be the same for long distance drives. the phone charger overheats the phone within minutes! i haven't seen anything like it.

Issues with OTA updates

I keep keeing an alert that the car is not updating. I called Genesis and the dealership and no one seems to be able to help me.

Overall, I love the car. But there are some disappointments.

The car is gorgeous and I love driving it. However, it has been a headache and continues to be a headache. When I purchased the vehicle, brand new, the salesperson was unable to get it set up on the connected services which allows for full use of the vehicle. After countless phone calls to the dealership and customer care and the car sitting in the service department it was finally fixed after about 10 days after ownership; of which it had spent most of the time at the service department. Since then the car has been unable to process over-the-air updates and I'm told I need to bring it into the dealership to have that done which is very inconvenient for me. Lastly, now that Genesis has a partnership with Tesla charging stations I called to find out how to get an adapter for the charger. I was told because I bought the vehicle the month that I did that I had to purchase the adapter for $650 and drive to the dealership to pick it up; on top of that it took 1 phone call to customer care, 2 phone calls and a text to the dealership to obtain that information and "reserve" a charger. Perhaps I have bad luck but everything about this vehicle has been a needless headache. I drove a Tesla for 6 years and never had an issue.

Tirea

The vehicle is great. The tires are not and cameras are not in the rain. They slide very easily in rain and immediately the camera starts sending warning notifications.

The car is just okay

For the money, it lacks some of the better features I’ve come to expect from Genesis. It is not quite like a Tesla. There is no heated steering wheel. The fingerprint option is dumb and never works properly

There are a few items and features that can be improved to make the car superb.

Matching the quality and design with the European versions for less price.

Great drive subpar tech

The drive experience is excellent and the environmental controls provide a very comfortable space for long or short trips. However, I have ongoing technical issues with OTA updates which neither customer service or dealerships seem to be be able to resolve.

Battery died on day 1; “fixed” and then died again a month later

A terrible experience. Will be filing lemon law paperwork soon.

Fun to drive - electronics interfaces and range could be better

Basically summarized above. I love driving the car. It handles well and has great pickup. Charging is easy and works well. However, I have had some issues with the software system - including apple carplay. Still not totally resolved. Also, another 100 mile range on a charge would be ideal.

Good car; missing some features

Much less expensive cars have wireless Apple Car Play. My son's lowest cost Kia has this feature, so not sure why a luxury car wouldn't have this. There are also some features that I was used to in my Tesla that I am surprised not to see in a car of this value. For instance, I should not have to turn on sport mode and one-pedal driving every time I get into the car. The charging cover should close automatically. These are all standard on the Tesla I traded in. It is comfortable and I enjoy driving it, but these seem to be pretty basic things the car should have.

I love my car in every way but have it only a few months. We’re in the honeymoon phase. Reliability is hard to assess at this point.

Elegant, comfortable, and unique

We've really enjoyed our first few months with the GV60. It's very comfortable and rides well. I look forward to driving it. Some of the technology is a bit confusing. The driver door camera does not seem to work reliably to unlock, so I always bring the key with me. This was advertised as having Wireless CarPlay, but that did not work until a later OTA update that gave error messages about not being applied correctly. After several months, I now have Wireless CarPlay working, but that was a disappointment at first.
