FULLY ELECTRIC GENESIS GV60 ARRIVES IN THE UNITED STATES
- GV60 delivers world-first automotive technologies including Face Connect, a system enabling drivers to unlock and lock their vehicle securely with facial recognition, and available Genesis Digital Key 2 with Ultra Wideband (UWB) applicability
- Genesis collaborating with Electrify America to offer three years of 30-minute complimentary charging sessions
- Connected Care suite of services included as standard on GV60 and all new Genesis models from the 2023 model year onwards, with no expiration
- GV60 offered in two configurations, starts at MSRP of $58,890
Genesis Motor America announced the start of sales of its highly-anticipated first electric vehicle, GV60.
“Today we are pleased to begin our journey towards full electrification with the launch of GV60,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America. “We are excited that our American customers will be able to experience the innovative technologies, bold design, and extensive suite of complimentary services in this ground-breaking vehicle.”
The Genesis GV60 enters the US market as a bold first step in the brand’s move towards a lineup of fully electrified vehicles. It offers a number of available world-first automotive features, including Face Connect and a Crystal Sphere. These innovative features enable drivers to be even more connected with their vehicle, making GV60 the most personal and customizable Genesis model yet.
Face Connect is a feature that allows the vehicle to lock or unlock its doors without a key by recognizing the driver's face. Drivers only need to touch the door handle and show their face to the camera on the B-pillar. The feature can register up to two different drivers.
The feature uses a Near Infra-Red (NIR) camera to provide accurate facial recognition under virtually any circumstances – including in the dark or when the weather is cloudy. It also leverages deep learning technology to improve accuracy.
Face Connect can link to individual driver profiles so that the Head-Up-Display (HUD), driver’s seat, steering wheel, side mirrors, and multimedia settings adjust automatically based on the driver’s customized settings and preferences. This provides an even greater level of convenience for a seamless driving experience.
GV60’s Fingerprint Authentication System allows drivers to start and drive the car without the need to carry a key.
The combination of these technologies will allow drivers to enjoy a brand new experience of using only biometric information to unlock and drive their vehicle.
Additionally, GV60 present’s Genesis Digital Key 2 with Ultra Wideband (UWB) compatibility. Using sensors positioned around the vehicle, UWB allows drivers to automatically unlock their vehicle as they approach, with only their compatible Apple iPhone, Apple Watch or Samsung phone. The Digital Keys are paired using Apple Wallet and Samsung Pass. The vehicle intelligently recognizes the driver and automatically authenticates them, loading their customized vehicle preferences. Genesis Digital Key 2 also allows the vehicle owner to share keys with others. For example, a driver with an Apple device may share their key with another via iMessage, and also revoke access to the vehicle with the click of a button.
The Crystal Sphere is one of the most innovative elements of GV60. It is a bold and functional design, enabling drivers to operate their vehicle in a safe and comfortable manner. When the vehicle is turned off, the Crystal Sphere provides ambient lighting, adding to the aesthetic of the driving experience. When you’re ready to drive, the sphere rotates and the shift-by-wire dial appears, creating an atmosphere of futuristic mobility.
GV60 will be offered in two packages in the United States. Initially, the 2023 Genesis GV60 will only be sold at select Genesis retailers in California, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. Customers may contact their Genesis retailer regarding availability.
The 2023 Genesis GV60 Advanced AWD, at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $58,890, includes class-leading standard equipment and technologies. At Genesis, safety is never an option, and GV60’s Advanced package includes the entire suite of available safety and advanced driver assistance systems. This package is comprehensively equipped with Face Connect, a 12.3-inch digital cluster and navigation system, vehicle-to-load charging, Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio, and more.
The 2023 Genesis GV60 Performance AWD, at $67,890, adds a more powerful front electric motor (160kW, 429 HP), Boost Mode (up to 483 HP), nappa leather seating surfaces, the Ergo Motion massaging driver’s seat, 21-inch wheels, and Genesis Digital Key 2 with Apple and Android compatibility.
Charging Solutions for a More Sustainable Future
In conjunction with the arrival of GV60 in the U.S. market, today, Genesis Motor America also announced an agreement with Electrify America to offer three years of 30-minute complimentary charging sessions from the date of vehicle purchase. Owners of the 2023 GV60 will have access to ultra-fast charging on Electrify America’s coast-to-coast charging network and can seamlessly locate and access charging stations while on the road via the Genesis Connected Services and Electrify America mobile apps.
“As we take this step into our fully-electrified future, Genesis is pleased to be collaborating with Electrify America to deliver convenient charging solutions to our customers,” said Marquez.
Connected Care – Now Standard with No Expiration
Starting with the launch of GV60 and continuing with all new 2023 models, Genesis vehicles now come included with Connected Care, with no expiration.
Connected Care provides an always-on connection allowing for peace-of-mind safety features like Automatic Collision Notification, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, and SOS Emergency Assistance when the vehicle has access to a cellular network connection. Additionally, a Monthly Vehicle Health Report, Maintenance and Diagnostic Alerts, as well as Vehicle Over-the-Air updates (GV60 only) are now included as standard.
The convenience features of Remote and Guidance packages will remain available with no additional charge for three years. GV60 also debuts Genesis Connected Services’ all-new electric vehicle specific features such as Off Peak Charge Management, Schedule Climate Control and Start / Stop charging remotely.
Genesis Connected Services and Connected Care depend on and are subject to commercial LTE wireless network availability.
A More Sustainable Future Starts Today
The launch of GV60 represents just the first step towards full electrification for the Genesis brand. This summer, Genesis Motor America will launch the Electrified G80, its first fully-electric sedan.
Later this year, as part of Hyundai Motor Group’s $7.4B U.S. investment in future mobility solutions, Genesis will begin production of the Electrified GV70 SUV at its manufacturing facility in Montgomery, Ala.. This will mark the first Genesis production in the United States and the first time a Genesis model will be produced outside of South Korea.
Genesis has committed that all new models launched will be fully-electrified starting in 2025, and that its entire vehicle lineup will be electric by 2030. Genesis is working to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035.

Media Release:
GENESIS DELIVERS FIRST GV60 ELECTRIC VEHICLE IN THE U.S.
- Patricia Wayne of Los Angeles purchased the first GV60 in the U.S. at Genesis Santa Monica
- This marks the first electric vehicle delivery for Genesis in the United States
- To mark the occasion, Genesis Motor America and Genesis Santa Monica donated $20,000 benefiting the local Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Monica
On Thursday, May 26, Genesis delivered its first GV60 electric vehicle in the United States. This marks the first-ever electric vehicle delivery for the brand in the country. Patricia Wayne of Los Angeles purchased the Uyuni White GV60 at Genesis Santa Monica after being drawn to its bold styling and advanced technologies.
“GV60’s design is simply breathtaking and you can't beat its curb appeal,” said Wayne. “I wanted to be part of the next generation of luxury EVs. I like to think that the GV60 has evolved the basic function of electric cars into a new kind of sustainable luxury.”
“The delivery of our first electric vehicle marks an important milestone for the brand,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America. “This is yet another step towards a more sustainable future, and we are pleased to be welcoming customers like Patricia to join us on this journey.”
“We are pleased to deliver the very first GV60 in the country,” said Mike Sullivan, dealer principal of Genesis Santa Monica. “As a Santa Monica business, promoting the adoption of EVs is an integral part of our identity and we are excited to be a part of Genesis’ electrified future.”
Wayne had been closely following GV60, and participated in Priority One, a program designed to curate a personalized purchase experience for GV60, the brand’s first dedicated electric vehicle.
She added, “I've been following this car for almost a year now, and I'm embarrassed to admit how eager I've been for it to arrive. I definitely feel like a kid for the first time in a while and cannot wait to hit the road in this car. I feel so unbelievably lucky to be the first person in the U.S. to own the GV60.”
Announced in April, the Priority One program was open to clients in California, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York for a limited time, and reached its limit of deposits. By visiting www.genesis.com and providing their contact information and $500 refundable deposit, a Genesis Concierge simplifies the process for Priority One clients and matches them with a qualified retailer.
When asked what she was looking forward to doing first in her new GV60, Wayne responded, “Taking a ride up the Pacific Coast Highway for Memorial Day weekend. As a native Californian, there's nothing I love more than road-tripping through our gorgeous state. I'm looking forward to heading to Sequoia National Park and driving the winding roads on the way to my favorite campsite, without leaving a trail of exhaust behind me.”
Genesis Gives
To mark the occasion and give back to the local Santa Monica community, Genesis Motor America and Genesis Santa Monica jointly presented a $20,000 donation to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Monica. Genesis Motor America and Genesis Santa Monica each contributed $10,000 to the cause.
“We are glad to be partnering with Genesis Motor America to make a significant contribution to youth in Santa Monica in honor of this important milestone for the brand,” added Sullivan. “Genesis Santa Monica is proud of our support for The Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Monica. We are pleased to be matching Genesis Motor America’s donation in support of this cause.”
This charitable contribution marks the continuation of Genesis Gives, a new initiative that supports STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) education, sports, and athletics programming for youth. Genesis Gives has contributed more than $300,000 to causes across the United States since its launch in November 2021.
