that's right we've got the Genesis gv60 and this car is fantastic not as
fantastic the look to comment on it we
have the owner of a successful fashion business an online personality Linus
Sebastian I don't think it's that bad I
don't know it has kind of like these cool lines on the you know along the top
of the Windows I think the wheels are cool I mean the grill is probably
unnecessary it is an electric car but you know it's like
I think the headlights are pretty cool one in all seriousness though in a
vacuum I think the gv60 is a pretty good looking car but unfortunately it is not
in a vacuum this is the same platform as the ionic 5 one of just the best looking
EVS on the market and genesis's whole line looks fantastic in my opinion and
this one just kind of Falls flat compared to them like this line why does
it go to there and then this way and like maybe you like it moving around to
the side we have one of the worst things on this car Genesis you are not trying
to get on the cover of a sex spec magazine in 2002. you do not need 21
inch rims on this now In fairness these do look pretty good they come with the
performance model but it just kind of makes the whole ride sort of
yeah like there's so much harshness from the road that could just have been
avoided by having 19s on it and honestly the suspension in this is not good
enough where you're going to want the trade-off over here we have one of the
string strangest things about this car this is a facial scanner so you can walk
up to your car facial scans you unlocks it get in then there's fingerprint
readers on the inside that allow you to just Boop go away drive away without any
keys at all it's very cool and unfortunately I wasn't able to test it
out because it was set up for some other journalist the trunk is a bit of a sore spot it
does have this thing where you stand back here for three seconds and it opens
but uh as you can see right now it doesn't always work also reaching down
here to get this it's not too bad but it just doesn't
work great the worst part though up along here water collects while it's
raining and it creates like a little waterfall it doesn't fall into the trunk
but you have to go through it to put your stuff in also while the trunk
itself is large enough this is probably the worst cargo cover that I've ever
seen like it just you have to do that if you want to use it instead of like
attaching to the lift gate and it's just I don't know kind of janky at least you
are able to easily put down the seats uh
I haven't actually tried it yet there's
oh there it is you can't do it from the
Trump that sucks one nice thing about back here though big old spoiler love it
now here's the charging port this thing is good for 350 kilowatts of fast
charging that is freaking rapid now 77.4
kilowatt hour battery which is good for just under 400 kilometers of range I
think though that's more than enough for most of your daily stuff
one thing that's been the case in a lot of the cars that we've had lately is
white interiors and I do not get it please just buy a black interior this
thing was cleaned this week like proper detailed it is filthy in there I have no
clue who can keep this clean but it is not me that's for sure
I'm trying guys it's not possible oh gross
hopping into the back seat these are extremely comfortable there's plenty of
leg room and if there isn't you can move the passenger seat forward and back
there's enough Headroom there's like a little area where there's enough you go
back you hit it you go forward you'll hit it a little bit anyway just stay
here you'll be fine these seats are very comfortable they have heating you also
have charging heaps of storage and a
nice little armrest oh one thing we have to take points off though manual peasant
blockers nothing spoils a fancy vehicle like having to do this yourself nearly
forgot about it but is there a frunk
I really hate that when EVS first
started becoming a thing we were all promised that all cars would have frunks
and now these days it feels like
yeah no one's really done much with that idea you're not putting anything in
there hopping into the driver's seat this is a
very nice spot to be now these seats it took me quite a while to get comfortable
I sort of have to be like leaned back and the headrest is out a little bit too
far it's pretty clearly just designed for someone that's a lot smaller than
myself and given this seems like it's very squarely aimed at older Millennial
women that are rich I think that's totally fine now one of
my least favorite things in here is the steering wheel it is very plush
incredibly squishy but just
uh I don't know it just squeaks all the
time like you're every time that you move your hands it's just like
oh that's terrible I hate it the party
piece of this interior though happens when you turn it on watch this the gear
selector orb flips 180 degrees to reveal
the gear selector and then when you turn it back off it flips back around is it a
complete gimmick yes do I like it also
yes this is the sort of thing like strange EV stuff can go into two
categories in 10 Years everybody will be like that was stupid and in 10 years
people will be like look at this strange thing they did I love it overall the
quality of the Interior is very high like there might be some Plastics around
but the finish of them is very nice lots
of other stuff is very soft to the touch and overall it just looks and works
really good now there are some bits that are not fantastic so like the climate
controls here it's sort of half a screen half a little knobby Chum it's fine but
it isn't Dreadful like some of the stuff that we have also there are dedicated
like media buttons down here but it's a little bit too much of a reach to get
them so I just end up using the knob here but that's it Knob works great so
just use that one thing that's absolutely hilarious in order to change
the mirrors there's this little knob over here which works perfectly fine but
on the passenger side you get this ultimate little drug compartment look at
this the stuff you could stash in here what were they doing wait is this
supposed to be for like perfumes okay maybe don't put your weed in there also
kind of interesting the glove box just slides out it doesn't really matter for
the functionality but it's kind of nice this shares the platform with the ionic
5 and also the stupid way you connect your phone so heaps of storage here
there and there but for whatever reason the charger for your phones down here so
you need like a long cable that you have to plug in there bring it up around to
in here where they do have a wireless charger for some reason it's clearly
where you're supposed to put your phone but Android auto only works with the USB
plug down there all right let's go driving because that's where this thing
really shines just like I shine at seguing to our sponsor thanks to secret

as I said before this thing is stupid
fast now normally you get 430 horsepower
more than enough but you press this boost button right here and it goes up
to 483. oh my God 0 to 60 in this thing 3.8
seconds holy freak
s it actually slams you back like
lttstore.com water bottle just got thrown I need to go secure that
seriously this is one of the most hilarious cars I've ever driven it's
just like a mom soccer wagon whatever
but it's actually like you can nauseate your
passengers it is one of the quickest cards that I've ever been in and
just look at oh my God I love it
the most hilarious thing about this is that you can turn off traction control
and if proper just turns the front tires
into smoke like Tesla Model y nothing on
this not even close that right there the nannies immediately come in and they're
like you're having fun you shouldn't be doing that and this right here it's like
hmm do you want to do a front wheel drive burnout you can now this thing is
kind of weird it's somewhere in between very comfy and plush and outright
performance monster in Corners it's also very far from a slouch it does have a
fair bit of body roll but it just grips
the ground in a way that I feel like only EVS are able to do with their like
super low Center of mass it is very
huckable even if you don't quite have the level of feedback through the wheel
that I would really want that said compared to something like the G80 that
had a very clear Target down where it was just outright comfortable you're
driving down the road it's very quiet very plush just an incredibly nice spot
to be in and also the ionic 5n will be coming out soon which again if you want
performance that's what you go for this right here
it's just kind of weird because I don't quite know who this is for and I really
wish they had just taken it all the way to being super comfortable that said I
do really appreciate how much of a sleeper this thing is is this the most
hilarious Car of the Year Andy oh yeah yeah this is an absolute hoot I have my
own custom drive mode which is basically just sport mode but with the comfy
suspension and it is just so huggable the whole thing's like whoop if they had
just made it like a little bit more plush and just said we'll give them all the power in the
most comfy vehicle who cares if it really goes around corners
you can just do burnouts it follows around who cares one of the things that
I feel like prevents this from really entering the upper echelons of like
super comfy nice on long road trips cars
is the sound system this right here is the bang Olufsen one and it's
fine now possibly the worst thing about this sound system is how you can figure
it you know how every single person knows what like bass mids and treble are
here they decided you don't need that it's a lot easier to have warm bright
energetic relaxed I think only like audio files describe stuff as bright or
warm fortunately I have kind of figured it out so energetic is a v curve more
bass more treble relaxed less trouble less bass bright more treble warm more
bass and we found that the most neutral that we could get was relaxed four
notches over the worst thing about this sound system is its staging or complete
lack thereof it's instead of a feeling like you're surrounded by speakers it
sounds more like you're in a empty room with an exceptional Bluetooth speaker
it's just kind of like sound it's not coherent
dno could have done that would take this to the absolute next level is to have
different impulse response profiles for it when the sunroof is open and closed
because it is quite a big problem when you have all the sound bouncing all
around and confusing things in the end you're left with something that even
though it does smoke like forty thousand dollar car sound systems
doesn't really live up to an 80 grand one oh and the most disappointing thing
it has an infinite baffle subwoofer in it that is a really cool way to do it
that should deliver extremely clear bass and this guy is passing us on a double
yellow that is super illegal dude anyway an infinite baffle subwoofer is when
instead of having your subwoofer in like a box or something you have one side
that's on the inside of the car and the other side that just vents to atmosphere
like there's an actual hole in the wheel well of the back left tire where it just
sub pushes the sound out that way this in theory delivers much cleaner and
coherent bass but in practice I don't
know if it's the reflections or just how big this is but it's all just sort of
mixes all together and
I don't know looking at the graphs when you compare it to our Target curve
there's some real weirdness around like 100 200 Hertz and it's too bad because
it obscures kind of like the low end and
the high end so your bass just sort of sounds more like instead of like
ah it's doing a U-turn here and one of my least favorite things about this is
the turning radius parking this even
despite having a really good 360 cam is
a lot more difficult than I would like what is great though is the infotainment
everything very easily controlled by this knob if you don't want to use the
knob the touchscreen also works really well Android auto goes all the way
across and yeah it all just works well one thing that's hilarious though in all
of these the voice memo app is like one
of their favorite things and just who really wants this like oh yeah how's it
going there Bob I heard that I don't know in the battery they have lights on
their way too hot and everyone's complaining
one thing that's kind of strange about this it does have a one pedal driving
mode so that means you hit the gas to go and you let off the gas to stop I
absolutely love it and it's one of my favorite things about EVS because I feel
like it gives you like a connectedness to the drive that you just don't get in
an automatic transmission problem though it just turns it off all the time for no
good reason so you start the car one pedal driving not enabled you need to
click it here on the pedal to turn it on then you put it in reverse turns it off
then you like put it in a park and start driving again one pedal driving is going
to be turned off it isn't really a big deal because again all you have to do is
press this little paddle here but it means that every single time that I get
into the car I forget to do that and overshoot the first stop sign or stop
light that I go to because it just starts creeping forward and I don't
expect it I don't know why they did it it just doesn't make sense now I do feel
like I've been a little bit hard on you Genesis this is an absolutely fantastic
car and I think I'm just being hard
because I want it to be as good as I can be because
again you guys are kind of leading the EV space right now Tesla driver's got
some fat now I do feel like I've spent a lot of
my time just nitpicking things because this is an exceptional car like it just
smokes well like Maki destroyed Tesla in
many ways it's better like I trust the driver assists in this I'm not going to
spend an extra ten thousand dollars so that I can get killed on the highway
let's beta test some software on the open road that's a great idea but
seriously though at 80 grand for the performance version this thing is not
cheap but at the same time what other grocery getter has nearly 500 horsepower
this thing is an absolute hoot to drive
and I just really appreciate what EVs
are doing where they're just taking like regular what would be a very boring car
and just giving it oh
the sort of performance that can murder supercars from a couple years ago I I do
really like this thing Andy I tried to not like it and I was not able that much
power if you guys like this video hit like get
subscribed just have a fantastic whole day I'm gonna use the boost mode a
couple more times foreign
