2023 Genesis GV60: Australian timing, pricing and features confirmed

The 2023 Genesis GV60 has arrived in Australia, with further local details, including pricing and features, recently revealed.

After pricing for the new model was leaked online last month, Genesis has officially confirmed local equipment, specs and pricing for the GV60, the Korean brand's first EV offering.

Two grades will be offered on the local market, in AWD and Performance AWD grades, available from $103,700 (before on-road costs).

“We are delighted to introduce GV60, our first dedicated electric vehicle, as the beginning of Genesis Motor’s journey towards electrification,” said Head of Genesis Motors Australia, Connal Yan.

“In an exciting year for Genesis, GV60 will be the first of three EVs to launch locally in 2022, and will be closely followed by Electrified G80 and Electrified GV70.

“GV60 applies the Genesis Athletic Elegance philosophy to provide an unprecedented luxury experience on a new dedicated electric platform that delivers all the powerful, emissions-free benefits of an advanced long-range, ultra-rapid charging EV.

Powertrain

Running on the same E-GMP platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, both GV60 grades are all-wheel-drive although they deliver differing levels of performance.

The entry-level GV60 AWD harnesses a 160kW motor on its rear axle and a 74kW motor up front, providing a total system output of 234kW with 605Nm on tap.

Stepping up to the Performance AWD sees a 180kW motors mounted on the front and rear axle allow for a maximum output of up to 360kW when Boost Mode is enabled. Torque increases to 700Nm which helps it achieve a 0-100km/h time of four seconds (or 4.6 seconds when Boost Mode isn't engaged).

Both variants use the same 77.4kWh battery pack, boasting driving ranges of 470km and 466km respectively – aided by the disconnector actuator system (DAS) which can separate the motor and driveshaft depending on driving conditions, maximising range.

The GV60's 400/800-volt multi rapid charging system boosts the 400-volts supplied by the charger to 800-volts, allowing for 10 to 80 per cent charge times of 18 minutes when using a 350kW charger.
