Good Value in a Luxury EV? Genesis GV60 Interior Review 

Getting a high regard on an interior from Carl is a humungous compliment!

The end was like a public call to Genesis to allow you to deconstruct one :D

Love the way Carl breaks things down.

Carl's attention to detail is impeccable. Imagine if you fellas designed, built and sold cars. Now I would pay to see that for sure. Great job Carl.

Carl! (It’s a happy day when you, Sue, and Jordan do your thing.)

I really enjoy Carl's analysis, it is factual and contains lots of interesting details, I learn a lot each time.

I've been driving this for 6 months, and it's an amazing car. My only complaints about trim -- I wish there were less black plastic on the exterior. It's very hard to keep it shiny. Luckily, there is very little to no black plastic inside the cabin. That's not true for its sister vehicles, the Ioniq and EV6. I don't actually mind the rear spoiler cutting the rear window in half. I like the styling outside, and for me, when driving at night, that spoiler is in the perfect spot to block the headlights of the car behind me so I don't get blinded.

The drawer storage bin is actually not a bad idea. Same here, I had a shop break the dash pot on my truck storage bin when checking the air filter, and the first time I opened the bin, it slammed down and whacked the crap out of my knee.

14:14 it was tesla with breaking door handles, look it up

I love that glove box

I drive a GV60 base level trim. It‘s a really, really nice car. Very comfortable, the massaging and self adjusting seats are wonderful. Roomy enough. Excellent performance. Good enough handling. Excellent ergonomics, reasonably responsive and intuitive infotainment. Physical buttons for HVAC. Poor visibility to the rear, no rear windshield wiper, good camera view makes up for it. If you can get a good lease deal, go for it.

🙋‍♂️🤗THANKS VERY MUCH CARL , FOR YOUR VIEWS AND EXPLANATIONS…ON THE HOWS AND WHYS YOU DO THINGS …AND THANK ALL THE MUNRO TEAM FOR HELPING US 👍🤗 btw my wife loves this color 😅💚💚💚

It has nappa leather seats, not vinyl.

Give Big Carl a raise. and put him on more videos. his brief explanation on panel gaps showing hidden point problems revealed his own hidden talent on exteriors, that is to say hidden by putting him mostly and comfortably on interiors.

Excellent review and rant at the end! Sandy must be proud!

Everyone at Munro is just so into their own niche, and being the best and enjoying it too. Amazing!

While you might not like the design of that gray trim. That part is very functional in keeping the collision cost down on the vehicle. On this channel it seems like that part of industry is completely not even thought about. Maybe one day collision repair will not be factor in owning a new car but until that point i would not own most the type of cars your channel recommends. From a collision repair expert. I wish the engineers would focus more time on driving all the pointless modules they keep adding over the year than saving a few dollars on making car unrepairable. There is no reason every component needs its own module, make components dumb again.

Carl My priority is seat comfort in these expensive cars. Can you go into detail on the seats

Carl, I’m all about Tesla. However, watching Munro vids for years now and focusing on this in particular, what do you think about Tesla introducing some of the comfort features (i.e., real leather, perforated/cooled seats w/massage, etc.) into their M3 and Y models as “premium” levels? Do you think they could pull it off and profit? Or, should they stick to minimalistic w/focus on tech?

Carl, always a great job and speaker

Carl, I enjoy your evaluations of the cost break down of car interiors. Come up the good work.

Catching up here but Carl, you did a great job explaining not just the car but also your job and its importance.

Does this guy know his stuff or what? incredible amount of knowledge. Had no idea about many of the things he brings up. Excellent video

Drove this at the Fully Charged show test drives. I loved the car, but my wife sat in the back, and was travel sick in a 15 min test drive. I loved the rotating ball, and the massaging seat.

The Genesis website currently shows a RWD version of the GV60, starting at $52k and rated at 294 mile EV range. I don't think that this was previously available and I do not see any available in stock anywhere at the moment. In RWD, it seems like a good deal to me, especially compared to it's cousins (lower price than Kia EV6 GT-Line trim or Hyundai Ioniq5 Limited trim). I think that the GV60 is priced correctly but the EV6 is probably priced too high.

This guy can present!

Great insight to this car , I have had my GV60 for 17 months 34K km / 21K miles love the car the only thing I wish they could have done was have a manual override switch for the precondition instead of going through the nav system . I did a lot of research before I bought my first EV and Genesis in my mind have got it right a lot of car for the money.

I like the drawer

Carl's stamp of approval. Awesome.

More Carl!!!!

Aston matin executive hired by Hyundai. AM offers crystal start button. This translates to cool crystal sphere. Love it

Took my bmw i3 in to the service the other day 1200 dollars to install program and register a 12v battery. Selling as soon as possible never going back.

Great analysis, thank you.

Good elegant sales pitch at the end!🤗

Never feel like you have to apologize for being passionate about your job.

Well, Carl does maybe the best presentations... Hands down, I would say.

Great looking vehicle. Lights front rear are great

The 26L frunk bin that you show (and appears to be the same as the Ioniq 5) is ridiculously small but I can tell you that the 54L, available for RWD on Ioniq 5, costs 250USD. It cost me twice that much to have it shipped from Korea, but the end result is a usable frunk for my RWD Long Range. Love it.

Thank you Carl for your critical insight, I look forward to your contribution. On a perhaps unrelated note my wife's Subaru Forester came with a "engine cover". Not sure exactly why it has this "feature" but I removed it the day we brought the car home. I'm old school: I want to see the engine and its various components

Another great episode. I hope all your presenters get to teach some classes in the local universities.

Really nice introduction and explanation, Carl! Thank you! I would like to see Genesis take on the Ioniq 6 - should be close to a perfect car for me.😊

Why place so many crucial controls next to the cup holder and potential spills?

Excellent review. Congrats on a job well done. Would like an expanding rear cupholder to accommodate different sizes.

Carl does a nice job of explaining what Munro does.

Remember the steel ball roll test with Acura legend advertising in the 80’s.

Thank you Carl! I love your passion and determination and detail

Would love to see the Model 3 Highland

I'm impressed! Great job hyundai/Kia motor group with your Genesis!

@ 5:54 That panel gap at the top of the right front wheel looks bad where the hood meets the gray fender flair wheel trim. It's narrower towards the front and widens towards the rear of that foot long section, unless its the camera angle causing that look. When you see the drivers side @ 6:27, that side looks even.

That crystal ball looks beautiful, but what happens with a coffee spill or sand from the beach? Could this be a very expensive repair?

Great episode! In the EU the glove box of the Ioniq 5 also is a drawer, but much bigger that this GV60 one. I am surprised that the premium brand version has a smaller drawer (and also a 4 inch smaller wheel base) than the Ioniq 5....

Is the center console top surface and door armrests made from embossed aluminum, not plastic as stated? The material seems to have thermal properties more consistent with a metal, rather than a plastic.

somewhere along the line not having a frunk on an EV became considered a "lack". whenever I see one, I wonder whether they included it because it was of value, or because they didn't want to be criticized for not having one.

If your camera operator attached an Insta360 to the grip rig, you could cut in shots of Carl's face when he's speaking, then back to vehicle parts he's speaking about. Like having two camera operators in one. Call me ADD, but one static shot on a door panel for 3 minutes can be hard to hold my focus. Otherwise keep up the good work!

GV60 RWD model sold in Korea and Europe even has a longer range.

This type of design cars should come with a propeller hat matching the interior/exterior colors.

Carl is officially the most handsome 🐻at M&A. 💕

Personally I'm not a big fan of all the fluff and more interested in higher quality mechanical and electrical components along with longer lasting interior materials. Extra grooves, recesses, textures, etc that are harder to keep clean and things that could become totally dysfunctional if your passengers do something as simple as spilling their Berry Blast beverage (obviously you wouldn't do this yourself) that they label as "Premium" are not a big draw. Higher quality bearings, micro-machining of mating wear surfaces/gears and other things that make the vehicle last longer and cost less to maintain over the long run are what deliver real value. Some "Premium" vehicles are maintenance nightmares since more consideration was given to the fluff instead of the basic bones of the vehicle. First clue can be how fast the wheels go out of alignment barring some accident. Another clue is how soon drive line seals start seeping/leaking increasing the likely hood that bearings and other components are going to fail just after the warranty expires. Best!

After one winter those running boards with the piano black inserts are probably going to look like crap.

MUNRO live - the Door handle vertical seam is Misaligned......lol.

Heavy stuff should be on the right/opposite to the driver side. So small opening should be at the left.

Always watch Carls videos

[sees broken door handles everywhere] really, Carl?

I always appreciate Carl's viewpoints. The "crystal ball" shifter is just stupid, even if it lasts 20 years without any problems.

Better interior then the aryia tbf problaly on par with bmw, doubt the underpinings are much different then the ioniq 5, its basicaly a ioniq 5 with better interior.

MUNRO - GV60 crystal ball / Gear select = DELETE . also Delete START button. Delete Control Stalks & Physical buttons.

More Carl ASMR please.

THE PANEL GAPS ON THE HOOD ALONE ARE ATROCIOUS.

That shifting thing along with the start button durable or not are just plain dumb!!!

Any redundancy, should the shifter fail to present? And Still, Carl 🐐

Way nicer than Nissan ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Good thing you're not in sales....You wouldn't be able to sell trees to a Beaver, too many splinters.

MUNRO live - GV60 is not even using Superior 4680 cells , Structural battery pack and FULLY Intergrated Front & Rear AXLES.

Hyundai does nice interiors by pulling money from chassis development and safety.

Yep. Small frunk.

A bit too much "plastic fantastic" feeling for my liking.

MUNRO live - Ummmm, the GV60 lacks Performance , lacks Handling (Track, Canyons), BAD road trip car, lacks Efficiency . the BOOST mode DIES after only 5 seconds . and GV60 is just to DAMN Heavy & Inefficient.

I hate those added gap lines and geometry from that hood shape.. nope.. not a fan The bigger fear of that flipping gear selector is definitely way more.. how the f do I drive my car if that thing breaks with the stupid crystal ball up.. that's just a dumb idea without some backup like being able to select a gear in the app or being able to force that crystal to work as a selector if necessary. I mean, a gear selector is not a 'convenience' item you can live without.. you're just plain f'd if that thing craps out in the wrong position. You can't even put the damn thing in neutral to have it towed.. what if the 12v battery dies.. you can't even put it in neutral? There better be an emergency method.. or this is just a plain dumb design for a stupid crystal ball I couldn't even give 1 shit about. Who the f is sitting in the car with it off to enjoy seeing the stupid thing anyway? Is it there to impress a crook looking in my window wondering if they want to break in? Are we having a f'n tea party in the car with it off, often? Wtf? When you're sitting in it charging.. it's ON 95% of the time.. AC.. Heat.. Entertainment.. when you're in the car.. it's almost always on. So why put the stupid ball and mechanism in? Gotta be a cooler thing you could design with that money. Not a fan of those diamond style seats.. grandma shit.. sure, the perforations for cooling and if it's comfy.. great.. but the diamond crap looks just busy and stupid to me. Not into paying for old school crap ideas of what luxury is. Nice looking car.. buncha stuff I couldn't care about in it that I'd be paying for.. and getting less range.. less performance.. less space.. for more money. To get some blingy crap.. it is a nice exterior shape though in general. I wouldn't pay the extra to get less performance and tech in total though. Considering how few of these they've sold since they've been on sale for like a year.. I think most people agree.. not worth the extra $$ in total.

It’s still a Hyundai 😊😂

Imagine if Apple made a car like this and the shift-controller mechanism failed. Apple would probably quote you over half the cost of the vehicle to fix & it'd probably be made with custom silicon & be paired to the vehicle, so couldn't use second hand parts without permission from Apple!

Good value? Yes. Higher battery degradation compared to the industry average? Not so great. They're up there with GM and Nissan in battery degradation.

The glass orb thing hiding the shifter is one of the most ridiculous unnecessary features which could fail or jam with foreign objects.

MUNRO live - GV60 is an Embarrassment , its not COST conscious at all. lots of wasted Opportunity for making cost Efficient. and GV60 is not HIGH TECH Enough , its not a Smart car. its Computer HARDWARE is Crappy as is its Software. "High Tech is the BEST Luxury" - ELON. and he is Correct. TESLA model S/X is a High Tech SMART car, offers the BEST Luxury. GV60 is built like a Conventional ICE car , but it has Electric motors & Batteries. but , GV60 is not at all Efficient, its too HEAVY. Computer HARDWARE & Software is CRAPPY.
