The exterior and interior design of the Genesis GV60 have been revealed. Sharing the E-GMP platform with the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, it takes its own stylistic path. Design is a subjective thing, and not everyone will like this one. There are some things I personally don't like about it, but believe it will look better in person. Regarding the interior, it looks about as premium as I expected, but hoped the side-view screens might be a little more integrated. Tell us what you think about it. Has the GV60 made your short list or does someone at Genesis need to have their pens taken away? Or maybe somewhere in between>
I like the looks a lot, better than Ionic 5 and probably gets better efficiency with that front end design as well (80% thickness reduction in the winged emblem should reduce air turbulence). The DLO - daylight opening window appeals to me - if that is their new term for a sunroof). Great color also
I really like the looks of this car -- much more so than the Ioniq 5. This car is tentatively on my short list, but of course will ultimately depend on the price range and specs.
I agree. Not a fan of the camera mirrors (at least not the way it's integrated in the car). The good news is that I don't believe they are technically allowed in the US yet, so I' guessing a more traditional side mirror look when released to the US market (hopefully sooner rather than later).
Using the magic of the Internet, I changed the color of the car to show what it would look like in a more "normal" color:
The inductive charging that is to be trialled on the GV60 in Korea is very interesting. I hope it works so well it becomes mainstream.
Thought I would include the source for that: https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1133317_exclusive-genesis-gv60-will-be-first-ev-to-include-wireless-battery-charging Wireless charging hardware supplied by WiTricity boasts a 90 - 93% efficiency @ 11 kW, pretty good. Also hope this becomes a "norm" in all future EVs, no more burnt charge port contacts from worn out J1772(or type 2) connectors, eliminate tripping over cluttered cables https://witricity.com/products/automotive/
Thanks! These are awesome. Here's a video showing a black example spotted in a garage in Korea. Looking a lot better here. Thinking it will come across much better in person than in the original pics.
WiTricity now to offer an aftermarket version: Source: https://insideevs.com/news/569487/witricity-aftermarket-ev-wireless-charging/ Wonder how long before one is available for my Kona EV as well as other previously manufactured EV models
