Buying Tips for 2023 Genesis GV60

  • ✓Check the operation of the "Crystal Sphere" gear selector; it should rotate smoothly when the car is powered on and off.
  • ✓Test the facial recognition entry system and fingerprint start (if equipped) to ensure they register consistently in different lighting.
  • ✓Verify the car accepts its maximum rapid-charging rate, as the 800V architecture is the car's key selling point.
  • ✓Inspect the flush-fitting door handles to ensure they deploy correctly, especially during cold weather.
  • ✓Check the digital side mirrors (if optioned) for camera clarity and screen responsiveness; they can take time to get used to.
  • ✓Ensure the active sound design (artificial engine noise) works correctly through the premium audio system.
