Giant Test: Hyundai Ioniq 6 meets the G26 BMW i4 and Tesla Model 3. Can BMW’s M division repeat its combustion success in EVs? Can Hyundai leap to the top with the Ioniq 6? Or is the Model 3 still best?
2023 Genesis GV60 hasn’t properly hit the roads yet, but it’s already clear that it will be a formidable force. In a short time, this new manufacturer, owned by Hyundai, has come along to take on the big boys and, deservedly, is being taken seriously. The GV60 aims to take a slice out of the crossover SUV market, promising lightning-quick performance, farreaching range, fast charging speeds, and all the creature comforts you’d expect of a premium brand.

And it’s an eye-catching design, with a fastback-style appearance that competes more with the Audi A5 Sportback than A4 Avant. Think of it as a more practical G70, with greater versatility and you’re pretty much there. What is clear is that the luxury brand from the parents of Hyundai and Kia are serious about making inroads into the premium segment with some seriously good products.
