Interior

Genesis unveiled the GV60 on 19 August 2021; it was released globally on 30 September 2021.[4][5][6][7] Codenamed JW during development,[8][9] the vehicle sits on a dedicated EV platform shared by the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6.[10] Powertrain details include a single-motor application for lower trim levels as well as a dual-motor all-wheel-drive model.[11]

The GV60 is the first to apply a new Genesis emblem imprinted with an elaborate Guilloche pattern and a clamshell hood that removes joints between the bodies.[12] Also, the GV60 is equipped with Face Connect which recognizes the driver's face to control the door lock, seat, steering wheel, side mirrors, and infotainment. A smartphone-based digital key can be used to open the door of the vehicle and start the engine. This can be used through wireless software updates.[13]

Powertrain

The vehicle is available with a 77.4 kWh battery that can be charged from 10 to 80% in 18 minutes with its 800 V charging capabilities by using a 350 kW charger.
