Editor's analysis

High-tech luxury with Face Connect and Crystal Sphere shifter.

The Genesis GV60 stands out as one of the most delightfully distinctive luxury electric crossovers available. Utilizing Hyundai Motor Group's 800-volt E-GMP platform, it accepts 235 kW DC fast charging, rocketing from 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes. Standard dual-motor all-wheel drive delivers up to 429 horsepower, boosted temporarily to 483 hp via a steering-wheel mounted 'Boost' button for a 3.6-second 0-60 sprint. High-tech luxury features abound: Face Connect biometric cameras in the B-pillar and fingerprint sensors let owners unlock and start the car without keys or smartphones. When the car starts, the illuminated glass Crystal Sphere on the center console flips upside down to reveal the drive selector. It blends technological theater with serious EV engineering.
