Reported Issues with the Genesis GV60

[frcabot]

I get nowhere near the 3s. My economy is about 2.5 and ranges from about 2.2 to 2.7 mi/kWh in San Diego on eco mode and cruise control. Wondering how you’re getting 3.5, I’ve never seen numbers even close to that.

Yours seems low. I am in nearby Scottsdale and I have been getting around 2.6-2.7 on highway driving (75-80 mph--not efficient but I don't care) and mid to high 3s in urban downhill driving (e.g., a 9 mile trip from my house that goes from 1460 foot elevation to around 1380) and low 3s on the return (again, generally driving as if I don't care).

My GV60 definitely seems to be doing better on urban driving. I have been using the "Looney" method with regen set to "1" and on "auto". It is annoying that this setting doesn't stick and sometimes even reverts back to high regen in the middle of a trip.

it's been a very mild winter in kansas city which, despite being in the middle of the plains, has a lot of hills. i get to coast downhill and use regen on every drive, and the heat doesn't cycle on very often. heavy traffic here = 2 cars at a red light, and there's nothing like the bumper-to-bumper freeway stuff that you suffer through in cali. altogether, i guess it translates into energy efficiency.

Yeah, that seems to be my range as well. mostly on auto.

What do you mean by "use regen on every drive"? What would the alternative be?

I had some rattling sound on my steering wheel that initially went away when I used the horn. The rattle eventually came back but would stop as long as I’m pulling the bottom of the horn towards me. When my dealership looked at it, they said there was a barcode sticker that was left on the back of the airbag causing the noise.

Ok, yesterday the vibration, as if there were a tiny loose screw around the bottom of the horn on the steering wheel, wouldn’t stop unless I held the bottom. But then toward the end of my drive it went away. I”ve had the car for 13 days. Will bring it in.

just trying to maximize the regen--releasing the accelerator when going downhill and allowing regen to kick in while the car coasts, decelerating gradually when approaching a stop so that brake pedal use is minimized, that sort of thing. in my informal testing i've also found that i-pedal doesn't work quite as well for me, understandably since it invokes full-time all-wheel-drive, and the auto-regen settings aren't quite as efficient. but based on the reported experiences within this group, i should experiment more with auto-regen and try to find the sweet spot.

I have been using the "Looney" method. Set regen for auto at position #1 (lowest regen setting). If no one is in front of you you can coast pretty freely. If someone is in front of you, the car will slow down generating regen. While you are not getting regen while coasting, you are covering significant distance without using the batteries and motor. I mostly brake using the left paddle but sometimes use the brake pedal.

I find this is the closest way to drive to the way I drove for so many years in an ICE vehicle. And I think it is at least as productive, if not more, than one pedal driving (one pedal works for Tesla because it doesn't do blended brakes).

If you’re looking to maximize efficiency/range, the two things to keep in mind are to coast as much as possible (don’t decelerate unnecessarily), and avoid hard braking (which engages the friction brake).
In these vehicles, touching the brake pedal engages regen braking, so no need to avoid doing so if you want to slow down.

I tried adjusting the regen. I used to

i've noticed the same thing when, shortly before stopping, the regen seems to switch off abruptly and the car coasts until i put more pressure on the brake. the only time this doesn't happen is when i'm using i-pedal. i sense this is normal behavior.

I set my regen braking to level 1 and the "jerking" motion seems to have resolved. It seems to occur on level 2 on my vehicle.

HI, I have a GV60 performance, and I notice that when the car is coming to stop while applying the brake, it doesn't seem to stop smoothly and often "jerks" a bit as it finally comes to a complete stop. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and is it related to the clutch and expected behavior for this car? Thanks

Yes, I’ve noticed the same thing as if the car was shifting down in the in the last couple of feet/inches of the stop. Wired.

Interesting. If I stick my finger horizontally just under the horn bhind the leather, it stops. Today, though, I hardly heard it. Did the dealership remove the barcode?

I spoke too soon. WIth the regn set to level 1 I felt the jerking motion again this morning. However, it does seem to happen much less often with level 1 regen vs. level 2 regen.

Happens when the regen disengages and the brakes engage. Blended brakes on any regen level 1-3. Coasting you won't feel the transition since there isn't one. On I-Pedal not sure, but I'm guessing there is a threshold for where the regen can't stop fast enough and the brakes take over (when using the pedal). I've had this in my previous EVs as well. Some do it better than others but it's always there.

The dealership removed the sticker and I haven’t had any noise since then.

I thought we might start a thread one various issues that might be a concern on the GV60.
The two initial issues have to do with the Ioniq 5 but since they are both based on the same e-GMP platform we might expect them to plague the GV60 as well.

1. charging: a couple of youtube reviews have noted that the Ioniq does not have pre conditioning of the battery. As a result, cold weather charging never exceeded 50-60 kw. It took 18 minutes to go from 20 to 40% at a two Electrify America stations.
The review also alluded to multiple complaints of the same slow charing in Europe.
This is likely fixable by an OTA update but that would be a sad start if the Genesis has similar slow charging, particularly when their major claim is the speed of charging.

2. another review discussed how bad the visibility out the back window without a wiper was in snowy weather.

Hi,
There is definitely a problem with the charging as my car never charges at advertised rate, not even half of the on ultrafast charging station in southern CA. The dealership is clueless. To me, this is false advertisement as I used to have a tesla and the charging was much faster. Has anyone gotten an answer from Genesis?
PS: You can precondition to the battery if you enter the charging station address through navigation. The icon on the battery changes, although it only has happened twice for me.

 

[dapprman]

Could be your charging station. I found pre-conditioning cools down quickly, however when I had to wait 10 minutes for an Ionity 350kW max charger I was still seeing 185kW until I wandered away and still over 120kW when I got back to the car at about 75%.

Where are you? If you are in the US, it is most likely the charger station that is the problem.

There are far too many pieces that need to all fall in line for us to see an optimal charge rate to so quickly assume it’s the vehicle. Battery SOC and temperature are huge factors, and, as others have mentioned, the charge network is horrendously unreliable.

Yes, Southern CA. I called Electrify America and they confirmed other cars pull much more power at the same stations, as I witnessed myself.
