Carbon82 Moderator August 21, 2021 Share August 21, 2021 The first EV from Genesis, with a dedicated platform for just for EV. The look is a little underwhelming though, not living up to the Genesis name plate imo. Genesis officially revealed exterior and interior images of the GV60, the brand's first electric vehicle based on dedicated EV platform. The Genesis GV60 is based on its dedicated EV platform known as E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform), marking the brand's move towards electrification. The "G" in GV60 represents Genesis, while the "V" represents the vehicle's versatility. The number '60' is the lowest in the Genesis lineup and comes as the brand evolves its model-naming scheme to fit their unique design identity of 'Athletic Elegance.' Lower numbers will emphasize athleticism under the scheme, with elegance represented by higher numbers. Based on this system, the GV60 is Genesis' most athletic model yet. The Genesis GV60's exterior design highlights its high-performance image along with a dynamic and smooth appearance. Genesis delivers its signature design experience to the GV60's body, bringing the sleek silhouette drivers have come to expect from the brand. The front of the GV60 features a design optimized exclusively for the electric vehicle. The iconic and progressive Two-Line Quad Lamps add character to a refined and voluminous body. A wider and more athletic Crest Grille has been placed below the Quad Lamps to emphasize the dynamic performance of the GV60 and also to increase the cooling efficiency of the high-voltage batteries in the underbody. The Genesis GV60 will also see a new wing emblem applied to the grille, with thickness of the emblem reduced by nearly 80 percent from previous models. It features the same unique Guilloché pattern often seen in luxury watches, representing a culmination of Genesis' analog sensitivities with high-tech innovations to create truly luxurious driving experiences. In addition, Genesis has opted for a 'Clamshell Hood' for the first time, a single panel which combines the hood and fenders, creating a sleek impression for the EV model by removing lines between the parts. When viewed from the side, the GV60 reveals the smooth and dynamic profile of a high-performance coupe. A simple yet sharp silhouette running from the front hood to the rear spoiler completes a more progressive character. The chrome line flowing from the windshield to the top of the Daylight Opening (DLO) window extends to a C pillar-garnish design that embodies the image of 'electric', adding a distinctive characteristic to the EV model. Digital side mirrors add to a cutting-edge appearance, and are connected to the camera and monitor system. Meanwhile, an electric door handle enhances a strikingly futuristic image by automatically popping up when you approach the car. At the rear, Two Line rear combination lamps take on a dynamic shape and flow seamlessly with the voluminous three-dimensional body. The rear also features a fixed rear wing spoiler to accent a coupe-shaped roof, adding to the image of dynamic high-performance. Shoulder volume is emphasized in the rear fender to create a low and wide profile and further accentuate the image of high-performance by combining it with technical functions such as various sensors, taillights, and rear turn signals at the bottom. The interior design of the GV60 takes on Genesis' design ethos of the 'Beauty of White Space,' while seeking to create a spacious and comfortable interior. At the same time, it has embodied differentiated images with its floating architecture and unique details. The most noticeable feature in Genesis GV60's interior design is the Crystal Sphere, a sphere-shaped Shift By Wire (SBW) that intuitively informs drivers when the vehicle is ready to drive. The Crystal Sphere is one of the most compelling design elements of the Genesis GV60. When the vehicle is turned off, the Crystal Sphere becomes the vehicle's mood lights, adding to the aesthetic of the driving experience. When you're ready to drive, the sphere rotates and the SBW appears, creating an indoor atmosphere of futuristic mobility. The Crystal Sphere is not just a key element of the interior design, but also provides emotional connection with driver while indicating driving status. The floating console, where the Crystal Sphere is located, looks as if it is hovering in the air, working with other unique features such as the slim cockpit and flat floor to provide passengers with a maximum level of openness. The crash pad inside the GV60 is designed in a wide and slim shape to augment the pleasant interior, emphasizing a high-tech atmosphere with a wide-screen integrated indicator (cclC, connected car Integrated Cockpit) that connects with the cluster and AVNT (audio, video, navigation, telecommunication). The Genesis GV60 has also epitomized the uniformity of interior design by applying circular details to Crystal Sphere, the horn cover, door handles, and side mirror controllers. ↡ Advertisement 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic August 21, 2021 Share August 21, 2021 (edited) Nowadays just place two big separate screen on dashboard and good to go. Design seems tone down when compared to his lesser sibling, Hyundai. The side view Mirror is a joke. Why invent a wheel or a mirror.

Fitvip Supersonic August 21, 2021 Share August 21, 2021 Nowadays, the term "Coupe" is no longer the monopoly of two-doors! It goes on to four-doors and then SUVs! Well, it looks quite nice. Insert the letter B in the middle of the wings and it goes up several notches!😁 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator August 25, 2021 Author Share August 25, 2021 Actual unit on the street, a much normal looking hatch. @DOBIEMKZ some level of cooling is still needed for the motor and to some extent, the battery unit, so the grille survived. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobayashiGT Internal Moderator August 26, 2021 Share August 26, 2021 Here's how long Hyundai's Genesis EV will take to charge wirelessly https://sea.mashable.com/tech/17254/heres-how-long-hyundais-genesis-ev-will-take-to-charge-wirelessly Electric vehicles are cutting the cord. The Genesis GV60, the first electric car from Hyundai's luxury car line, is capable of wireless charging, the Korean company announced last week. The compact SUV was revealed Thursday, and with it came the additional announcement of a wireless charging option from American company WiTricity. The EV will use the same battery platform as that on Hyundai's upcoming line of electric vehicles. Hyundai estimates about 270 miles of range on a single charge. The Genesis car will be released in Korea later this year before launching in the U.S. in 2022. When it arrives in the U.S. it'll be the first all-electric vehicle that can be parked over a charging pad that will start filling up the battery. No plug necessary. It'll take about six hours parked over the mat to fully charge, compared to plugging in for 10 hours or longer at public stations or home wall chargers. BMW was the first to introduce wireless charging in the states with its plug-in hybrid. But the Genesis will be the first 100 percent electric car to use inductive charging. Hyundai didn't get into specifics, but noted that the wireless charging would be an optional feature, not something every Genesis GV60 will have. In Korea, only 600 of the new EVs will be made with wireless charging capabilities. While not as fast as, say, a Tesla Supercharger, at least you can't forget to plug in. Quote Oh... Wireless charging sia. This is interesting. 🤨 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
