Open Letter to Genesis Motors - How I'd Improve the GV60

[noremacnova]

compatible tesla superchargers added to the available chargers in the SatNav

The superchargers were added as of the last 2025 update (at least in USA). What country are you in?

Bummer. The fingerprint reader works quite well for me.

ME TOO

Our Thanksgiving trip from LaQuinta, CA to Venice, CA today reminded us just how loose the suspension’s rebound damping is.

The well-documented “SoCal freeway hop” really had our car bounding around - uncomfortably so.

Genesis, if you’re reading this, an OTA update that addresses this would be fantastic!

Also, Happy Thanksgiving all!

Despite everything that has been written here about what can improve the GV60, what is wrong with the GV60, etc., I nonetheless still believe that it is the best small electric vehicle out there. No other car in anything close to its price range is IMO equal and meets my desires for small size, performance and luxury. I say close to its price range as I think the Porsche Macan Electric does that but similarly configured, it is very, very much more expensive.

There will be one more in early 2060 but I don't know what it will cost: the Genesis Magma. That, IMHO, will be better because it will fix the one issue with the GV60 -- poor handling in the twisties.

When Genesis agreed to finally buy back my wife's 2023 GV60P because of a fatal flaw in the User Authorization system I said that we should look at every possible EV compact SUV alternative in the market. So we looked at Audi - awful, uncomfortable cars in every respect and horrible reviews, BMW iX - way too large and with appalling space usage, Ioniq 5 and EV6 - both felt like stripped down versions of the GV60, Volvo 40 recharge - just too....volvoish, Mercedes EQE SUV - that nearly made the cut but what it simply didn't have was the amazing space usage of the GV60, from the small frunk, to the flat rear floor to the amazing trunk with all kinds of nooks and crannies, to the interior small spaces for sunglasses, keys etc. In the end my wife was quite clear - she wanted another GV60P.
I agree with Steve - there is literally no other EV SUV in the class and price range that can compete directly feature for features with the GV60. So we got a 2024 GV60P at an amazing lease deal from Genesis Santa Monica and 18 months later the only issues have been the ICCU recall and now the windshield issue, which is not a problem yet, but we will get it taken care of soon.
My wife really uses the Facial Recognition feature a lot. She is a high end home organizer and her car is always full of containers, tools, label makers and other stuff she uses in her work. It all stays in the car until she needs it and she pops out often to get things and uses the FR to unlock the car. It's pity that Genesis has done away with it. It really was a unique feature that no-one else has.
