Introduction of the New Base All-Wheel-Drive Variant
The 2025 Genesis GV60 is set to offer a new base all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant, starting at $53,700. Following the electric GV60 SUV’s launch for the 2023 model year, Genesis introduced a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) entry-level variant for 2024, which brought the base price down by more than $7,000. For 2025, Genesis aims to bridge the gap between the entry-level RWD model and the Advanced trim by offering this new base AWD option, while pricing for the carryover trims sees a modest increase of $350 from 2024.
Powertrain Specs and Range
The base GV60 comes equipped with a single electric motor driving the rear wheels, delivering 225 horsepower and 258 pounds-feet of torque, which Genesis claims is sufficient for a range of 294 miles (official EPA ratings for the 2025 model are pending). With an added front axle motor, the base AWD and Advanced trims offer a total of 314 horsepower and 446 pounds-feet of torque. The base AWD variant rides on 19-inch wheels and offers a range of 264 miles, whereas the Advanced trim’s 20-inch wheels reduce its range to 248 miles. At the top of the GV60 lineup is the Performance trim, featuring a combined power output of 429 horsepower and 516 pounds-feet of torque, with a boost mode providing bursts of 483 horsepower for up to 10 seconds. The Performance trim has an estimated range of 235 miles.

The entry-level RWD GV60 features 19-inch wheels, LED exterior lighting, a panoramic fixed glass roof, a power liftgate, heated auto-dimming mirrors with puddle lamps, and keyless entry and starting.
