The Genesis GV60 electric SUV was awarded the title of “Best Electric SUV” at the 2023 What Car? Awards, held at Grosvenor House in Park Lane. The event brings the automotive industry together to honor the UK’s top achievements and contributions.
This award marks the GV60’s first of the year, building on a string of accolades received in Europe in 2022, such as “German Car of the Year” in the premium segment and “Swiss Car of the Year.”
What Car? Editor Steve Huntingford praised the GV60, saying, “With its first electric SUV, Genesis has created a truly game-changing car. Standout strengths include the beautifully finished interior, user-friendly infotainment system, and supple yet well-controlled ride. Meanwhile, the GV60’s hushed cruising manners, long range, and rapid charging capability add further to its appeal. The cherry on the top is that you get all of this for a very competitive price.”
Andrew Pilkington, Managing Director of Genesis Motor UK, expressed his delight at the recognition, saying, “We’re delighted to collect another award for the Genesis GV60. Our first all-electric model is proving a real success with customers and it’s an honor to receive recognition of the GV60’s leading qualities from a prestigious title like What Car? Genesis arrived in Europe less than two years ago, and we’ve worked hard to create a solid foundation for the brand. Winning awards against well-established premium brands is truly motivating, and we look forward to growing our business further. This is only the beginning for us.”
Built on the bespoke E-GMP platform, the GV60 is Genesis’ first all-electric model to be launched in Europe. The platform offers multiple benefits, such as boosting efficiency, improving performance, and driving pleasure, while also allowing for ultra-fast charging, with a 10-80% charge available in just 18 minutes.
In addition to the GV60’s win, the Genesis GV70 SUV received recognition from What Car? for its “Best Interior for a Family SUV,” with a luxurious but versatile interior that can be personalized by choosing from a variety of different color themes and materials.
