The price has also fallen to AU$88,300 ($61,800). Then there’s the new flagship GV60 Magma, priced from AU$130,000 (US$91,200) that we’ll be testing soon.</p><p>This version has been a long time coming. It follows a familiar recipe to the Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N, rocking twin electric motors that combine to deliver 448 kW (601 hp) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque. It’s the first model launched by Magma and is a sign of things to come with other performance cars to come. Crucially, Magma should not be considered in the same vein as Hyundai N, as it has a different philosophy: it’s eager to retain the luxury and refinement it’s known for while adding some extra thrills. You’ll be able to hear our thoughts on the GV60 Magma next week.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>This Is No Hyundai Interior</strong></h3><section class="type:slideshow"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"></section><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Genesis Australia</h4><p>Cabin changes to <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/2024/09/2025-genesis-gv60-adds-standard-awd-model-prices-rise-by-350/" type="link" id="https://www.carscoops.com/2024/09/2025-genesis-gv60-adds-standard-awd-model-prices-rise-by-350/">the GV60</a> Advanced, like those made on the outside, are relatively minimal.

Unlike so many other EVs out there, they are not overly reliant on screens, retaining a separate climate control screen and buttons. Among all EVs on the market, few do as good a job as the GV60 in perfectly combining tactile controls with screens. This includes the car’s famous spinning Crystal Sphere gear selector, which has been retained.</p><p><strong>Review: <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/2023/01/driven-2023-genesis-gv60-performance-awd-will-silence-the-naysayers/" type="post" id="2589632">2023 Genesis GV60 Performance AWD Will Silence The Naysayers</a></strong></p><p>A welcome update is the fitment of standard wing mirrors. The pre-facelift GV60 had been available with cameras, instead of mirrors, and while they worked well enough, they did leave a little to be desired. No doubt the cost of replacing them, were they to ever get damaged, would have been astronomical, too.</p><p>Other welcome features found within the Genesis include leather-appointed, 12-way adjustable driver and front passenger seats, heated and ventilated front seats, and dual-zone climate control. There’s also all the standard safety equipment you’d expect, including forward collision-avoidance assist, lane keeping assist and lane following assist, as well as parking aids and a 3D, surround-view monitor.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>All That An EV Should Be</strong></h3><a href="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32.jpg" data-type="inarticle-image-block"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32.webp 2560w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-400x267.webp 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-1024x683.webp 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-768x512.webp 768w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-2048x1366.webp 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px"></source><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="lazy " src="" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32.jpg 2560w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-400x267.jpg 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-2048x1366.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px" alt=" The 2027 Genesis GV60 Is Brilliant, But It Will Never Be A Big Seller | Review" width="2560" height="1707" data-src="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-32-1024x683.jpg" data-type="inarticle-image"></picture></figure></a><p>For everyday driving, the <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/tag/genesis-gv60/" type="link" id="https://www.carscoops.com/tag/genesis-gv60/">GV60</a> Advanced is a smooth and all-round quiet performer, which is just what existing Genesis owners would expect and is demanded by buyers coming from other luxury brands.</p><p>As with the pre-facelift model, the updated GV60 feels much like an Ioniq 5, although behind the wheel, it does feel slightly smaller and nimbler, owing to the 100 mm (3.9-inch) shorter wheelbase. Of course, it’s also noticeably more luxurious than the Hyundai, or the Kia EV6, and I think this alone is enough to justify the higher price tag.</p><p>Beyond this new model receiving a larger battery pack, it also includes improved pre-heating and cooling functions to boost charging speeds. Genesis doesn’t quote a peak DC charging speed for the standard GV60, instead noting that it supports DC fast charger stations rated at up to 350 kW.</p><a href="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02.jpg" data-type="inarticle-image-block"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02.webp 2560w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-400x267.webp 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-1024x683.webp 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-768x512.webp 768w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-2048x1366.webp 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px"></source><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="lazy " src="" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02.jpg 2560w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-400x267.jpg 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-2048x1366.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px" alt=" The 2027 Genesis GV60 Is Brilliant, But It Will Never Be A Big Seller | Review" width="2560" height="1707" data-src="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2027-Genesis-GV60-RWD-Review-02-1024x683.jpg" data-type="inarticle-image"></picture></figure></a><p>Other E-GMP-based EVs from the Hyundai Motor Group typically cap out at around 220 kW or 230 kW. The driving range has been boosted to 561 km (348 miles) on the WLTP cycle, and a charge from 10-80 percent can take as little as 18 minutes through an appropriately fast charger. The GV60 also supports a vehicle-to-load (V2L) function, capable of delivering up to 3.6 kW of power, enough to run power tools and household appliances.</p><p>Chassis changes have also been made. This includes the fitment of a new low-friction U-joint to reduce steering friction and updated rear hydraulic bushings, minimizing vibrations and noise transmitted through the chassis. <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/2024/04/how-does-the-premium-genesis-gv60-compare-to-a-high-spec-hyundai-ioniq-5/" type="link" id="https://www.carscoops.com/2024/04/how-does-the-premium-genesis-gv60-compare-to-a-high-spec-hyundai-ioniq-5/">The GV60 Advanced</a> beautifully soaks up imperfections in the road, although admittedly, most of the roads we drove on during the launch were silky smooth.</p><p>Thick, acoustic glass adds to the sense of isolation while behind the wheel of the GV60.

Genesis doesn’t quite have a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time, but it feels somewhere around the mid-7-second mark.</p><p>Updates have also been made to the regenerative braking. Like the older model, this new one includes four different levels of brake regen, including a one-pedal driving mode, all configurable using the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. A new feature is the full auto mode, which intelligently tweaks the level of regeneration depending on what the car thinks is appropriate, using traffic flow and navigation information and even taking into consideration upcoming intersections and roundabouts. For the most part, it works well.</p><p>Genesis quotes a combined efficiency of 16.7 kWh/100 km over the combined cycle.

It is an exceptionally polished and well-rounded EV and feels special enough to command a price premium over the related Hyundai Ioniq 5 and <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/2025/11/2026-kia-ev6-is-still-great-but-its-harder-to-recommend-review/" type="link" id="https://www.carscoops.com/2025/11/2026-kia-ev6-is-still-great-but-its-harder-to-recommend-review/">Kia EV6</a>. For those looking for a practical, comfortable, and stylish EV, it is an excellent option.</p><p>Ultimately, it will not be a huge volume seller like some of the larger and cheaper EVs that have started to flood the Australian market. When compared to other premium alternatives from legacy brands, like Lexus with its RZ priced from AU$84,500 (US$59,300), and the BMW iX1 available from AU$79,900 (US$56,100), the GV60 stacks up quite nicely. Then again, you can buy a Tesla Model Y Premium for AU$68,900 ($48,200). Ultimately, the GV60 is an excellent choice for the discerning buyer, but perhaps not for the masses.</p><section class="type:slideshow"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"></section><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Genesis Australia</h4></body></html></p>

It also became substantially more expensive than many expected after its long development cycle, with early production models costing <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/2026/02/elons-40000-cybertruck-is-finally-here-it-just-costs-50-more/" type="post" id="3375424">well into six figures</a> despite Tesla initially discussing a much lower starting price during its unveiling.

For many buyers, it’s no longer just an electric pickup but a public statement about the man behind the company. That association has almost certainly narrowed its appeal even further, regardless of what owners or reviewers think about the truck itself.</p><a href="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1463480_1.jpg" data-type="inarticle-image-block"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/1463480_1.webp 1920w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/1463480_1-400x300.webp 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/1463480_1-1024x768.webp 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/1463480_1-768x576.webp 768w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/1463480_1-1536x1152.webp 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px"></source><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="lazy " src="" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1463480_1.jpg 1920w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1463480_1-400x300.jpg 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1463480_1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1463480_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1463480_1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px" alt=" The Cybertruck Is Flopping So Hard It Could Knock Ford’s Edsel Off Its Throne" width="1920" height="1440" data-src="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1463480_1-1024x768.jpg" data-type="inarticle-image"></picture></figure></a><h4 class="wp-block-heading">1958 Edsel Bermuda Station Wagon (Photo: <a href="https://www.mecum.com/lots/453349/1958-edsel-bermuda-station-wagon/?aa_id=280735-0">Mecum</a>)</h4><p>History has been kinder to the Edsel than buyers were in 1958. Today it’s appreciated for its ambition as much as its mistakes, proving that commercial failures can still leave a lasting mark on automotive history. The Cybertruck appears primed to follow the same path.

Instead, he was arrested and forced to undergo blood testing. Those results later came back negative for both alcohol and impairing drugs. Prosecutors dismissed the DUI charge roughly three months later. Of course, it took years of litigation after the fact for the city to settle.</p><div class="ad-placement extra__ad_tbl"><div id="ea4d4b5a-f8e5-4d5d-9d9a-53a3b956b6cd" class="_ap_apex_ad" max-height="306"></div><div id="44c0a4dc-e25b-4ba5-ac64-2c510461b92a" class="_ap_apex_ad" max-height="600"></div><script> var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform === "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("ea4d4b5a-f8e5-4d5d-9d9a-53a3b956b6cd"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("44c0a4dc-e25b-4ba5-ac64-2c510461b92a"); } }); </script></div><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Colorado city pays $500,000 to settle lawsuit over wrongful DUI arrest of good Samaritan" width="500" height="281" src="" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen class="lazy" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HeTUDDx1FO0?feature=oembed" onload="resizeIframe(this,this.parentElement);"></iframe></div></figure><p>This isn’t the first time we’ve covered a case where a sober driver ended up facing a DUI charge despite later chemical testing proving otherwise. In several previous incidents, including another Colorado lawsuit, drivers blew 0.000% on a breathalyzer or later tested negative. Despite that, they were still arrested and prosecuted before the cases ultimately collapsed. Tennessee recently began issuing breath test devices because of <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/2026/01/they-said-it-was-hundreds-but-tennessee-now-admits-to-thousands-of-sober-duis/" type="post" id="3350820">a staggering amount of sober DUI arrests</a>.</p><p>That’s what makes Cunningham’s allegations particularly noteworthy. Had officers administered a preliminary breath test at the scene, they would have at least known alcohol wasn’t involved. While a zero reading doesn’t rule out impairment from drugs, it can dramatically narrow the scope of an investigation. Depending on the surrounding circumstances, it may prevent an unnecessary arrest altogether. It could also help taxpayers avoid massive payouts over these cases.</p><div class="ad-placement"><div id="9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751" class="_ap_apex_ad" max-height="306"></div><div id="bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c" class="_ap_apex_ad" max-height="600"></div><script> var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751"); } }); </script></div><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Lead Image: Fort Collins PD</h4></body></html></p>
