We'll be spending the next few weeks behind the wheel of the 2024 Genesis GV60, and we’ll need all of that time to analyze this newish all-electric pocket SUV from the Korean brand. Here's the first part of our long-term review.
The creation of a luxury brand by the mass-market auto company was a logical and predictable move given what had come before. But seven years later , Hyundai changed course and created a new luxury division, for the occasion producing a replacement for the EQ900 . That was the Genesis G90. Shortly afterwards, the G80 succeeded the Hyundai Genesis, followed by the unveiling of the G70 at the 2018 New York Auto Show.That was inevitably going to change, given the times. SUVs were in the cards. And sure enough, Genesis introduced the GV80 and GV70 in 2020. One letter for sedans, two for SUVs.
