2025 Genesis GV60 Facelift Unveiled with Updated Design and High-Tech Interior

Genesis has hit the ground running in 2025 by unveiling the first facelift of its GV60, the brand's dedicated electric vehicle (EV), which originally debuted in October 2021.

The updated model incorporates changes aligned with the brand's "Athletic Elegance" design philosophy, alongside interior enhancements reflecting the "Beauty of White Space" concept. On the Genesis website - this means:

The natural elegance of exposed concrete and weathered steel is a testament to the beauty of white space. A dynamic atmosphere immerses you in the experience, and becomes more interesting with the flow of time.

I interpret this to mean, "a minimalist, industrial design that should look good in a few years". Sounds about right for a Genesis.

The exterior updates include a refreshed front bumper with a three-dimensional design and Micro Lens Array (MLA) headlamps, showcasing Genesis’ Two Lines design language. The coupe-style silhouette is complemented by new 21-inch five-spoke wheels and body-coloured features such as the fender garnishes and rear skid plate, creating a modern and bold SUV look.

Inside, the GV60 retains signature elements such as the Crystal Sphere shift-by-wire system while introducing advanced technology. I don't know if I would consider a "Crystal Sphere" to be industrial design language, but it is cool nonetheless. A new 27-inch connected car Integrated Cockpit (ccIC) merges the cluster and navigation displays into a seamless design, enhancing functionality and creating a spacious feel. A redesigned three-spoke steering wheel provides a sporty touch and improved usability.

Further details on specifications and pricing will be announced ahead of the model’s launch in Korea in Q1 2025. Australian availability is scheduled for Q3 2025.
