The Genesis GV60 just got its first refresh, and it’s looking sharper than ever. The electric luxury SUV, which hit the scene in 2021, has been treated to a subtle facelift that tweaks its look and upgrades the cabin. It’s not a complete makeover, but the changes should keep it fresh for the 2026 model year. Read More The 10 Fastest Accelerating Lamborghinis of All Time The GV60 was the first Genesis built as a pure electric vehicle, riding on Hyundai’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). It shares its DNA with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, but its premium features set it apart. This is the first major update since its launch—excluding the sporty GV60 Magma variant, which is still a couple of years away. A Fresh Look Inside and Out Up front, the bumper now has a more sculpted design, while new air ducts near the front wheels make the SUV look wider. The grille has been reshaped, sitting lower with a clean, straight design. Even the headlights have been upgraded with something called Micro Lens Array technology—fancy, but what does it do? We’re not sure yet, but it sounds cool. At the back, the updates are minimal but thoughtful. The fender trim and skid plate now match the body color, giving the rear a tidier appearance. Inside, Genesis has stepped things up with a massive 27-inch screen that combines the driver’s display and the infotainment system.

The quirky Crystal Sphere gear selector is still there—because why mess with something that’s already so unique? Genesis hasn’t announced changes to the powertrain yet, so it’s likely sticking with the current options. The top-tier Sport Plus model still delivers 483 horsepower, rocketing from 0 to 62 mph in just four seconds. The 77.4 kWh battery also remains, with up to 321 miles of range and ultra-fast charging that can get you from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes. Enough time for a coffee break, maybe even two. More Range, Smoother Charging, and What’s Next Genesis hasn’t spilled all the details on the US-bound GV60 yet, but there are hints of what’s coming. The battery could see an upgrade, growing from 77.4 kWh to 84.0 kWh. That means more miles between charges—likely pushing past the current 235 to 294 miles range we see on the 2025 model. Another likely update is a switch to the NACS charging port, which is quickly becoming the standard in North America. It’s a small change that could make a big difference. While we wait for the 2026 GV60’s full specs, the current model gives us a good idea of where things stand. The base rear-wheel-drive version starts at $52,350 and offers 225 horsepower with 294 miles of range. For $55,850, you get an all-wheel-drive setup with 314 horsepower and a bit less range at 264 miles. In South Korea, the updated GV60 has already made its debut. With a bigger battery, smoother charging, and the same sleek design updates, it’s clear Genesis is fine-tuning the GV60 to keep it competitive. US buyers might have to wait until 2026, but it’s shaping up to be worth it. Source: Genesis
