siblings. There’s a family resemblance to the interior layout. The ‘floating’ centre console, twin-screen dashboard and spacious feel are all familiar. But there’s plenty of difference, too: blue nappa leather adds an upmarket feel and there’s a pleasing number of shiny silver buttons and switches.The touchscreen infotainment has been reworked for Genesis, too, with various premium features built in, such as a quiet mode and various artificial powertrain noises.
The two motors make the GV60’s performance predictably brisk. It’s quick to accelerate in Normal driving mode, ludicrously so if you jam the Boost button. Progress is easy, the powertrain is responsive and it’s just as happy cruising at slow speeds as it is unleashing its surfeit of power. It feels reassuringly stable, and the ride is generally decent on smooth surfaces, although it can be unsettled by rougher stuff.
When you’re not exploring the vast potential of the powertrain, driving the GV60 is pleasing and comfortable. It is this ambience that suggests Genesis can offer an alternative to the Germans: it feels upmarket but with a dash of youthful Korean cool worked in. Perhaps, though, the biggest challenge for Genesis comes not from the brands it’s taking on but from those within its family.
When Genesis was set up in 2015, the prospect of a Hyundai premium brand felt like a stretch. But now the group is already producing cars that are drawing buyers from posher brands. The GV60 is shaping up to be an excellent car; the challenge will be convincing people that it’s worth paying a premium for.
Eww fuck Korean shit
That's not a Hyundai, that's Datsun 100A
