Genesis has announced pricing and specification details for the GV60, its first bespoke electric car and a technologically advanced crossover to rival the Skoda Enyaq iV Coupé.
Prices start from £47,005 in the UK for entry-level Premium cars, which include a 12.3in infotainment system, wireless phone charging and a host of safety systems as standard.
Premium models are driven by a 225bhp rear-mounted electric motor, powered by a 73kWh battery with a claimed 321 miles of range.
Next-step Sport models gain a four-wheel drive thanks to the addition of a 99bhp electric motor to the front axle. Total power stands at 314bhp.
The range-topping Sport Plus is the performance model of the line-up. It’s driven by a 482bhp powertrain with four-wheel drive.
Genesis says all three models are equipped with the same 73kWh battery pack as standard, which can be charged using a 350kW rapid charge from 10-80% in just 18 minutes.
The Sport model is capable of 292 miles on a single charge, while top-rung Sport Plus versions offer 289 miles. Both deliver up to 446lb ft of torque.
The GV60 will be offered with several optional extras, including comfort seats, nappa leather, a premium Bang & Olufsen audio system and an outdoor pack, which enables vehicle-to-load charging.
Other extras include digital side-view mirrors and a panoramic sunroof, along with a choice of 14 exterior colours.
Customers can pre-order the model now and place a deposit before the car goes on sale on 6 June this year. Customer deliveries are set to take place on the same day.

Its a shame about the front styling, as the rest of the car look fantastic, & it being from the Hyundai/Kia group its bound to be a very good car.
It's certainly different, quite stylish even the yellow/black colour scheme suits it, from the drivers point of view the dashboard looks really impressive. Considering that the Skoda Enyaq iV Coupe costs £50k plus, the GV60 looks like a good proposition
I like it - it's funky, stylish, and will attract buyers especially with the sort of warranty/after sales support that the more prestigious marques still aren't prepared to offer their customers.
