The Genesis GV60 will be the brand's first all-electric model when it goes on sale in the U.S. next year. The technology showcase features facial recognition door locks and a fingerprint ignition.
The compact luxury model can also be started with a fingerprint instead of a key and features a crystal sphere on the center console that flips over to reveal the gear selector.
The GV60 will be offered in South Korea in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models with power outputs from 225 hp to a top performance version rated at 429 hp that's able to accelerate to 60 mph in 4 seconds while using a special Boost mode that delivers up to 483 hp in 10-second bursts. There's also a Drift mode that adjusts the traction control and power delivery to allow it to do power slides.
Genesis says the GV60 has a driving range of 228 miles to 280 miles per charge, depending on the model, using the South Korean evaluation system, which often yields results similar to the EPA's. Its 800-volt charging system is capable of recharging the battery from 10% to 80% full in just 18 minutes at the most powerful public charging stations.
