By now there’s no hiding the obvious that EVs have become the speed demons on the road. I knew that they’re capable of reaching insane accelerations, but I didn’t believe it until I test drove the Genesis GV60 Performance AWD for a week. What’s even more impressive is that you get all of this muscle power in a vehicle that’s neither a sports car or coupe.
This compact crossover EV from luxury car maker Genesis boasts a dizzying combined 429 horsepower performance from its 160 kW front and 160 kW rear electric motors, which propels it to reach top-speed in no time at all from a dead stop. Driving it around often felt like I was playing an arcade racing game because of how intense the GV60 is with its acceleration and performance. In fact, there’s even a novel feature that injects a ton of power in the performance with just the press of a button.
