The Genesis GV60 2WD alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Genesis GV60 2WD has a maximum power of 168 kW (228 hp / 225 bhp) and a total torque of 350 Nm (258 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 185 km/h (115 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 77.4 kWh and a net usable capacity of 74.0 kWh, with a 3.4 kWh buffer (4.4%) for battery protection. The battery operates at a nominal voltage of 697 V, supporting high-power DC charging.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 517 km (321 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 14.3 kWh/100 km (4.3 mi/kWh).
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 233 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 39 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 17 minutes at an average power of 188 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 1–76%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 149 kW over a session lasting about 22 minutes and 20 seconds.
This efficient charging capability makes the Genesis GV60 2WD a convenient option for long-distance travel.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 24 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 27 minutes, needing three charging stops from 1% to 76%, totaling 67 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 6 hours and 43 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Bidirectional Charging
This model supports V2L (Vehicle to Load), allowing you to power electrical equipment requiring up to 3.6 kW of power, and even charge other electric vehicles.
Drivetrain
The Genesis GV60 2WD has a rear-wheel drive system supported by one motor on the rear axle.
The motor used is Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor.
Suspension
The suspension system features a MacPherson strut front construction and a multi-link rear construction. Both the front and rear dampers are monotube dampers. The front and rear springs are coil springs.

Brakes
The Genesis GV60 2WD is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between five levels.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 100 kW.
