THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE REDESIGNED GENESIS GV60
SEOUL, May 7, 2025 — Since its initial debut in 2021, the Genesis GV60 has been a trailblazer in the electric vehicle (EV) segment, captivating car enthusiasts with its futuristic design and a host of luxury details coupled with innovative technology.
Fast forward to 2025, Genesis has unveiled a redesigned version in Korea that’s already turning heads. The upgraded GV60 elevates the driving experience with a suite of enhancements, offering a more refined and futuristic ride than ever before.
Sportier Stance, Refined Elegance
The redesigned GV60 makes a striking statement with its sophisticated and dynamic exterior, clad in notable enhancements that distinguishes it from its predecessor. Its blend of sportiness and elegance perfectly embodies Genesis’ design philosophy of “Athletic Elegance.”
One of the most standout updates is in the headlamps, which now feature Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology. Together with the newly designed bumper, they enhance the model’s wider, lower profile.
The length of the front overhang has been increased by 30 millimeters, creating a more three-dimensional and dynamic look. This subtle alteration not only significantly changes the silhouette of the car but also improves its aerodynamic performance.
Along the side and rear, the wheel arches, side cladding, and bumper, which were previously finished in black, now bear the same color as the body, completing a cleaner look.
Furthermore, the latest GV60 introduces fresh wheel designs for different drivetrains. The new five-spoke 20- and 21-inch wheels align with the dynamic design of the front profile while minimizing air resistance. The 19-inch wheels now come in a matte dark gray color, enhancing the model’s silhouette.
The front four-piston monoblock brake calipers have been standardized across all drivetrains. They come in uncoated silver for standard rear-wheel drive (RWD), white for standard all-wheel drive (AWD) and black for performance AWD.
Packed With Innovative Tech
Inside, the GV60 retains its beloved design elements while introducing noteworthy upgrades that enhance the driving experience.
The iconic Crystal Sphere electronic shift dial, Fingerprint Authentication System, Digital Side Mirror as well as the circular design theme remain.
One of the most distinct interior design upgrades is the removal of the bezel between the digital instrument cluster and the infotainment display via the introduction of an ultrawide 27-inch OLED screen. This expansive display, which is the basis of Genesis’ connected car Integrated Cockpit (ccIC), seamlessly displays information and even offers augmented reality navigation with the optional built-in camera.
The steering wheel has been changed from a two-spoke to a three-spoke design, enhancing grip. The newly added Hands On Detection (HOD) feature offers a more precise and convenient experience of the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).
Highlighting Genesis’ meticulous attention to detail, the smartphone wireless charging area has been updated from a diagonal slot to a horizontal pad, making it more convenient to view one’s phone while it charges.
Some of the most major technological improvements are found in the camera systems. The Built-in Cam 2 now offers enhanced resolution and voice-recording capabilities, as well as the ability to record video from the rear-facing camera. The rear-view mirror has been upgraded to a Digital Center Mirror, which, with the flip of a switch, can provide rear visibility without being blocked by anyone in the rear seats.
A new In-Cabin Camera (ICC) feature has been added to the top of the steering wheel, offering real-time monitoring of the driver’s inattention and fatigue levels.
Another newly added convenience feature is the Walk Away Lock (WAL), which particularly comes in handy when the driver has their hands full or forgets to lock the doors. When the driver moves more than 2.5 meters away from the vehicle while carrying the smart key or digital key, the doors automatically lock, substantially improving practicality for everyday use.
Enhanced Performance
The most notable performance enhancement is undoubtedly the fourth-generation battery cells, which now hold 84 kilowatt-hours of electricity, up from the previous 77.4 kilowatt-hours, all while maintaining the same-volume battery pack. This increase extends the driving range per single charge from 451 kilometers to 481 kilometers.
The battery charging time remains unchanged despite the increased battery capacity, allowing it to charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 18 minutes when using a 350-kilowatt ultra-fast charger. The batteries are also equipped with a second-generation conditioning system that automatically cools the batteries and enables manual operation while providing battery temperature status information, optimizing management.
In addition to being elongated by 30 millimeters compared to the previous model, the design of the front bumper has been revised, leading to significantly improved airflow along its sides and bottom. Moreover, the incorporation of various shapes of 3D undercovers and front wheel stakes to the underside of the vehicle has reduced the GV60’s drag coefficient from 0.29 to 0.28.
The Smart Regenerative Braking System automatically adjusts the amount of deceleration from regenerative braking based on forward traffic flow and navigation map information, thereby heightening driving efficiency.
The front and rear shock absorber valves used in the Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS) are now more advanced, allowing for individual control of the compression and extension of the shock absorbers, minimizing unnecessary body movements.
The GV60 provides a luxurious and serene driving experience with the extensive use of sound-absorbing materials, which have been newly integrated to the B-pillars, C-pillars, trunk and rear wheel arches. To minimize unnecessary noise and vibrations generated by the engine, the motor’s compensation control logic has also been optimized.
Building on these advancements, the number of controllers capable of Over the Air (OTA) updates in the GV60 has increased from 18 to 45, ensuring that a wider range of systems can be updated wirelessly, keeping the vehicle up to date with the latest features. In this way, GV60 owners benefit from a vehicle that can continually evolve, improving and updating its internal software functions over time for greater efficiency.
