Exterior
The GV60 showcases an exhilarating design that perfectly embodies its status as a high-performance electric vehicle. Notably, it features the characteristic low front grille commonly found in electric cars, complemented by uniquely designed LED lights that are distinct to Genesis models. The crossover SUV’s aesthetic exudes elegance and sportiness, accentuated by the sleek black protection strip encircling the wheel arches and side edges. The roof seamlessly extends from the rear with a coupe-inspired design, while a small sports spoiler enhances the rear end just below the rear glass.
Inside
The 2023 Genesis GV60, an electric vehicle, offers generous interior space for both the cabin and second-row passengers. Inside, the cabin is adorned with artificial leather upholstery available in either blue or black, featuring edges that match the exterior color of the vehicle. The cabin boasts modern amenities, including a digital dashboard and a 12.3-inch touch screen, providing intuitive control and display functionalities. Additionally, the audio system boasts 8 speakers for a premium sound experience, and the vehicle is equipped with an integrated system of 8 airbags, ensuring comprehensive safety for occupants.
A notable feature found within the Genesis electric cabin is the crystal spherical body, which serves a dual purpose. When the vehicle is turned off, the spherical body functions as interior lighting, illuminating the cabin. However, when the car is in operation, the spherical body transforms and rotates to become a lever for controlling the transmission. This innovative design element seamlessly transitions between providing ambient lighting and serving as a functional component for the transmission system.
