BRIEF SUMMARY
The updated Genesis GV60 has a sportier exterior and a refreshed interior with a huge new 27-inch display on the instrument panel.
The car is also expected to have a longer range, faster charging and a more powerful battery, but full specifications have not yet been revealed.
Genesis has unveiled an update to its GV60 electric vehicle that includes a huge new infotainment display.
The 27-inch screen extends from the steering wheel on the driver’s side to the instrument panel on the passenger’s side. Unlike other systems and unlike a dual display configuration original GV60 – the screen of the new car is continuous.
Genesis says the new screen creates a greater sense of space inside the car. The display appears to be slightly thinner than the old model and it is expected to run the same operating system as before. It will be interesting to see how the user interface splits into two parts: the driver display on one side and the infotainment system (including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) on the other.
Additionally, the new interior features a new three-spoke steering wheel, which replaces the first-generation GV60’s two-spoke wheel. The car retains Genesis’ signature crystal sphere, which rotates to reveal the rotary gear selector when the engine is turned on.
The combined driver display and touchscreen measures 27 inches.

We also noticed new quilted fabric on the doors and seats, while the cabin thankfully retains the physical switchgear. that we’re big fans in the original GV60.
On the outside, the new model has a sportier look that Genesis calls a “sporty elegance design philosophy.” The front end of the car features a redesigned bumper and a new set of headlights with Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology first seen on the flagship GV90.
There’s also a new set of 21-inch five-spoke wheels, and the wheel arches and bumper accents are now body-colored rather than a contrasting shade.
Genesis hasn’t yet mentioned any performance improvements for the updated GV60. It’s highly likely that the new car will have a larger, more powerful battery, faster charging and longer range. Let’s EV6 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5, which share the same platform, were recently updated and benefit from these updates.
The GV60 could use more range, as we’ve already said. use one as a long term test vehicle It’s been almost five months now, and the actual range of about 220 miles is a little short of what we’d like from a car of this size and price. Let’s hope the new car can last around 300 miles – and we’ll find out when Genesis reveals full specifications later in the first quarter of the year.
