The refreshed 2027 Genesis GV60 electric SUV will arrive in Australia in June 2026, bringing updated styling, improved range, and a more accessible entry price for the brand’s EV lineup.
Priced from $88,300 (MLP) for the GV60 Advanced rear-wheel-drive variant, the updated model positions itself as a more attainable luxury EV, sitting below key tax thresholds while retaining premium features and technology.
Design updates focus on aerodynamics and detail
The 2027 Genesis GV60 receives a subtle but noticeable exterior redesign. A new three-dimensional front bumper and updated grille give the SUV a sharper look, while the signature Two-Line Micro-Lens Array headlights add a more technical appearance.
Other changes include:
- New 19-inch alloy wheels
- Body-coloured wheel arch cladding and trim elements
- Revised underbody for improved airflow
These updates contribute to a reduced drag coefficient of 0.28, enhancing efficiency.
Interior led by 27-inch panoramic display
Inside, the cabin continues to follow Genesis’ “Beauty of White Space” design philosophy, now centred around a new 27-inch connected car Integrated Cockpit (ccIC).
This single panoramic display integrates both infotainment and driver information into one seamless unit, reducing visual clutter while improving usability. Key interior highlights include:
- Crystal Sphere shift-by-wire selector
- New three-spoke steering wheel
- Leather-appointed upholstery options, including two-tone finishes
Improved battery and fast-charging capability
The 2027 Genesis GV60 is powered by a new 84kWh fourth-generation battery, delivering a claimed 561km WLTP driving range.
Built on Hyundai Motor Group’s E-GMP platform, the SUV supports 400V and 800V charging, allowing a 10–80% charge in as little as 18 minutes when connected to a 350kW fast charger.
An updated battery conditioning system also improves charging performance in colder conditions.
Technology and safety upgrades
The updated GV60 introduces several new and improved technologies, including:
- Smart Regenerative Braking 3.0
- Digital Key 2.0 (with NFC and ultra-wideband support)
- Expanded over-the-air (OTA) updates capability (now up to 45 functions)
Safety has also been enhanced with updated driver assistance systems such as:
- Lane Keeping Assist 2
- Hands-On Detection steering wheel
The model retains its five-star ANCAP safety rating.
Chassis and refinement improvements
Genesis has focused on improving ride comfort and cabin refinement, with:
- Enhanced sound insulation in rear areas
- Improved windscreen sealing
- Additional hydro bushings at the rear suspension
Steering has also been recalibrated for better response, while four-piston monobloc front brake calipers improve stopping performance.
Performance variant on the way
Genesis has confirmed a high-performance Genesis GV60 Magma all-wheel-drive variant is in development. It will feature:
- Dual-motor setup producing 700Nm
- Electronic limited-slip differential (e-LSD)
- Drift Mode and Virtual Gearshift system
Full specifications and pricing for the GV60 Magma will be announced closer to launch.

Summary
The updated 2027 Genesis GV60 electric SUV introduces meaningful improvements in range, technology, and refinement, while lowering the entry point into the Genesis EV range.
