  • The GV60 Advanced RWD starts at $88,300, below the LCT threshold for fuel-efficient vehicles.
  • A new 84kWh battery delivers 561km of WLTP range, up from 77.4kWh and around 500km previously.

Genesis has confirmed the 2027 GV60 for Australia, with deliveries starting in June 2026. The updated model brings a new entry price of $88,300 before on-road costs, a larger battery, a redesigned interior, and a range of chassis and technology updates.

All prices are Manufacturer's List Price (MLP) and include Luxury Car Tax where applicable. Prices exclude delivery and on-road costs. The Advanced RWD sits below the $91,387 LCT threshold for fuel-efficient vehicles, making it eligible for Fringe Benefits Tax exemptions.

What Changed

The 2027 GV60 moves from all-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive for the base grade. The single rear motor produces 168kW and 350Nm, down from 234kW to 360kW in the previous range. However, the battery has grown from 77.4kWh to 84kWh, and WLTP range has increased to 561km.

Some equipment has been trimmed. The 2027 Advanced RWD drops from 20-inch to 19-inch wheels, switches from Nappa leather to standard leather seats, replaces the suede headliner with cloth, and reduces the driver's seat from 18-way to 12-way power adjustment. Heated rear seats and power steering column adjustment are also removed.

On the other side, the 2027 model gains Genesis' new 27-inch OLED display integrating the infotainment and instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, augmented-reality navigation, and Digital Key 2.0. Over-the-air update capability now covers 45 items, up from 18.

Exterior

The 2027 GV60 has a redesigned front bumper with a three-dimensional shape and Genesis' Two-Line Micro-Lens Array LED headlights. New 19-inch alloy wheels replace the previous 20-inch items. Wheel arch cladding and the rear skid plate are now body-coloured instead of grey.

Nine exterior colours are available, including the new Tromso Green Metallic. The aerodynamic drag coefficient is 0.28Cd, aided by a new full aerodynamic underbody cover.

Interior

The cabin is redesigned around Genesis' 'Beauty of White Space' concept. The headline feature is the 27-inch connected car Integrated Cockpit (ccIC), which merges the infotainment touchscreen and digital instrument cluster into one seamless panoramic display.

The Crystal Sphere shift-by-wire selector is carried over. A new three-spoke steering wheel with hands-on detection is fitted. Interior trim options include Obsidian Black leather and an optional two-tone Glacier White and Ash Grey combination.

Powertrain and Charging

The 84kWh fourth-generation battery is built on the 400V/800V-compatible E-GMP platform. Using a 350kW DC fast-charger, the GV60 can charge from 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes. An upgraded second-generation battery conditioning system helps maintain fast-charging performance in cold conditions.
