Inside, the GV60’s high-tech cockpit is centered around the new 27-inch ccIC, which seamlessly merges infotainment and driver information on a large panoramic screen. A new three-spoke heated steering wheel, now with Hands-On Detection, is standard across all specifications. The ccIC also provides access to Genesis’s new suite of connected entertainment services, such as Bloomberg Media, Bloomberg TV, Disney+, and Netflix.
Beyond its aesthetic and interior enhancements, the GV60 prioritizes performance and driver engagement. All models are now powered by Genesis’s new 84kWh battery. Standard high-performance, four-pot front brakes and an upgraded Smart Regenerative Braking System 3.0 contribute to efficient energy recovery and a smoother driving experience. The augmented brake regeneration technology utilizes traffic flow and navigation data to automatically adjust braking force. For enhanced performance, the GV60 can be specified with an Electronic Limited Slip Differential (E-LSD) and powerful 180kW electric motors, delivering up to 700Nm of torque.
Intelligent technologies further define the GV60 experience. Optional features like the Bang & Olufsen Premium Audio system deliver a high-definition sound experience through 17 speakers, complete with Dolby Atmos. The new Digital Centre Mirror (DCM) provides a clear rear view, even in challenging conditions. Optional Intelligent Front Lighting System technology, which adapts headlights based on oncoming traffic, augments the MLA headlights. The 2025 GV60 models also benefit from a significantly upgraded OTA controller, increasing the number of compatible features from 18 to 45.
