- The facelifted Genesis GV60 has been spied undergoing testing in Europe.
- Spy photos give us our first look inside and reveal a new widescreen display as well as a sportier steering wheel.
- The updated EV is expected to come with a new 84 kWh battery pack, which should provide extra range.
Work continues on the facelifted Genesis GV60 as spy photographers have caught a prototype undergoing testing in Europe. While we’ve already seen the model on a handful of occasions, we’re getting our first glimpse inside.
As you can see, the cabin largely carries over but there are a handful of updates. The most noticeable is a flat-bottom steering wheel, which features red contrast stitching. Elsewhere, there’s a new widescreen display.

While the screen looks similar to the one found in the current model, it’s continuous rather than split. This eliminates the black bar that separated the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster from the 12.3-inch infotainment system.
Moving outside, the prototype is heavily disguised but Genesis accidently revealed the front fascia back in February. As a result, we know the GV60 will have a new front bumper with prominent air curtains as well as a revised central intake. The rear end appears largely unchanged, but we can likely expect some minor styling tweaks.
Genesis is staying tight-lipped on specifics, but the model will likely follow in the footsteps of the facelifted Kia EV6 and have a fourth-generation battery pack with a higher energy density. This increased the EV6’s capacity from 77.4 kWh to 84 kWh, which resulted in an extra 11.8 miles (19 km) of range.
Besides the beefier battery, Kia improved the rapid charging speed. Using a 350 kW DC fast charger, the model can go from a 10% to 80% charge in as little as 18 minutes.
The changes likely won’t stop there as the EV6 also benefited from a retuned suspension and NVH improvements. On top of that, the model has a reinforced structure and a thicker B-pillar.
