Genesis takes another step towards electrification of the range : & egrave ; the first vehicle built on the basis of the modular platform called E-GMP – Electric-Global Modular Platform -, on which it will be born; one of the first electric crossovers of the brand (but on which Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 are already born, they all belong to the Hyundai group).
The crossover is; already been announced: this is GV60 , a project that & egrave; already aesthetically ready but that is not; still fully defined, judging by the fact that Genesis did not share any technical details, postponing the press and fans & quot; to the next few months & quot ;. In 2022 the first models will arrive in North America, waiting for the brand to finally arrive in Europe.
EXTERIORS OF GENESIS GV60
The only information on the electric crossover of the luxury of the Hyundai group they are therefore those deductible from the images attached to the press release. At its first (virtual) meeting with the public, Genesis GV60 does nothing to look too different from a classic internal combustion vehicle : for example, the aerodynamic wheel covers typical of many electric cars are missing, replaced by classic alloy wheels.
Or in the front bumper & egrave; obtained the classic cooling grid of endothermic cars, which however on an electric car more that a functional element & egrave; of design, put l & igrave; (probably & quot; plugged & quot; by a plastic bulkhead inside) to ensure continuity; visual with the past still essential for many. The Genesis GV60 crossover therefore goes to great lengths to ensure continuity; between past and future.
The replacement of the classic glass rearview mirrors with video cameras belongs to the future, even if seeing them in the production car will be; difficult because of the rules. So it is such as the pursuit of & quot; cleanliness & quot; of the lines of the rear area to maximize aerodynamic efficiency, with the roof that remains high above the heads of the rear passengers to then rain decisively up to the spoiler on the boot.
INTERIORS OF GENESIS GV60
Not to mention the interiors, where the search for continuity & agrave; between past and future & egrave; even more; evident. The dashboard maintains a classic orientation , with an abundant central tunnel and an evident central band that integrates the air vents. And the past is; that's all, because & eacute; then numerous displays stand out: the two on the doors that replace the rear-view mirrors and the very wide horizontal one that replaces the traditional instrumentation for the driver and the infotainment for the passengers, as is the case on many recently developed electric and non-electric cars.
Lacking the transmission, Genesis has exploited the generous dimensions of the central tunnel to obtain a < strong> compartment inside. Tunnel on which there is the Crystal Sphere , a sphere-shaped shift by wire (SBW) of which Genesis is; very proud and that is why she often cites. With the vehicle off, the Crystal Sphere is; a piece of furniture that contributes to the ambient lighting, while once ready to drive 'the sphere rotates and the SBW appears, creating an atmosphere of mobility; futuristic & quot ;.
Difficult to guess more; from the press release, we must & agrave; to deepen when GV60 will be & agrave; ready to be explored. It will take place in 2022, when the first Genesis GV60 will be ready for delivery in North America, where the brand is; quite strong. In the coming months, however, more information on the GV60 project will be shared.
