While premium electric SUVs typically command substantial monthly payments, the Genesis GV60 has emerged as a compelling exception with leasing rates starting from just £331 per month. This figure positions it among the most affordable luxury EV crossovers available today, undercutting comparable rivals like the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Tesla Model Y. The inclusion of road tax and manufacturer’s warranty in the lease package further enhances its value proposition, effectively reducing long-term ownership costs. Available trim options include the Genesis GV60 Sport with 318 BHP and the more powerful GV60 Sport Plus with 490 BHP capabilities.
The Genesis GV60 shatters EV luxury expectations with leasing from just £331 monthly, challenging top rivals while including tax and warranty.
Performance credentials of the GV60 are equally impressive. The entry-level models deliver a respectable 229 BHP through a single motor configuration, while enthusiasts can opt for the range-topping Sport Plus trim that produces a formidable 490 BHP via dual motors.
Range anxiety, often a deterrent for EV adoption, is effectively addressed with the GV60’s 77.4 kWh battery enabling up to 321 miles on a single charge in rear-wheel drive variants. All-wheel drive models still manage a commendable 289 miles between charges. However, potential buyers should note that cold temperatures can reduce this range by 10-24% due to battery chemistry limitations.
Genesis, Hyundai’s upmarket division that entered the UK market in 2021, has positioned the GV60 as a genuine contender in the luxury EV segment. The vehicle comes generously equipped across all trim levels—Premium, Sport, and Sport Plus—with standard features including heated seats, reversing camera, and front and rear sensors.
I’ve found the high-tech interfaces and premium interior finishings particularly impressive for this price point. The five-door SUV design strikes an excellent balance between practicality and style. Its compact dimensions facilitate urban maneuverability without compromising interior space or comfort.
The hatchback-style boot configuration further enhances everyday usability for families and active lifestyles. Leasing flexibility adds another layer of appeal, with contract durations of 24, 36, or 48 months available.
Free delivery and extensive customer support underscore Genesis’ commitment to service excellence. Used versions of the GV60 are also available at even more attractive rates, starting from £398.71 per month including VAT. For drivers seeking luxury EV ownership without the premium price tag, the GV60 represents a uniquely compelling proposition in today’s market.
