Pure-electric Genesis GV60 SUV cabin revealed
Battery-powered SUV interior leaked online, revealing car-maker's next-gen cabin designImages of the all-new battery-powered Genesis GV60 have been leaked online ahead of its official launch later this year.
The pics, which appeared on Cochespias, reveal the 2022 Genesis GV60 will come equipped with a pair of large twin screens that look borrowed from the latest Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Kia EV6.
Unusually, the prototype also sports tablets bolted into the corners of the door cards that are thought to broadcast live displays from the widescreen rear-view cameras.
It's not known if traditional door mirrors will also be offered, but the narrower stalks used for the cameras could bring significant aero gains that boost the GV60's range.
Ahead of the driver is a new two-spoke steering wheel that looks like it will feature Benz-style capacitive-touch buttons.
Behind the wheel is a pair of paddle-shifters that are likely to vary brake regeneration on the move.
Buttons for the semi-autonomous cruise control and drive modes and start button are also present.
Unusually, there's also a round gear selector that rotates clockwise and anti-clockwise to select drive, reverse or park, but also appears to be a sphere that can spin around, unlocking more functions.
Based on the same E-GMP architecture as the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Kia EV6, it's thought the range-topping GV60 will come equipped with dual motors that will produce up to 225kW and 605Nm of torque.
An even faster version could have as much as 430kW and 740Nm – matching the quickest Kia EV6. If so, expect a sub-3.5sec 0-100km/h sprint and a 260km/h top speed.
The E-GMP can support 800V charging infrastructures and, with a 350kW charger, the Genesis GV60 should offer replenishment from 10 to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes, with a five-minute charge providing a respectable 100km of range.
It's still not known what exterior design direction the premium Korean brand has chosen to pursue, but the Genesis Mint concept that was unveiled at the 2019 New York motor show is expected to heavily inspire the production model.
Set to be revealed later this year, the Genesis GV60 is expected to touch down in Australia in early 2022.
