Equipped with a fourth-generation 84 KWh battery, the GV60 now achieves a 481 km range on a single charge, thanks to improved aerodynamics and battery technology. It charges from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes with 350 kW ultra-fast charging, even in cold weather, due to optimized battery conditioning. The Smart Regeneration System 3.0 adjusts braking automatically using navigation data, making every drive more efficient.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Comfort
The GV60 offers a premium in-car experience with a voice-activated system triggered by “Hey Genesis” and streaming services supported on its expansive display. A Bang & Olufsen sound system with 17 speakers and Dolby Atmos delivers immersive audio. For driving enthusiasts, the AWD model pumps out 490 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque in Boost Mode, hitting 0-100 km/h in 4 seconds. Features like Virtual Gear Shift (VGS) and Hidden Drift Mode add excitement, while enhanced soundproofing ensures a quiet ride.
