It’s no secret that Genesis’ main target are the German automakes. Drive a new Genesis model and their closest comparisons are always either BMW or Audi in their respective segments. The Genesis G70<\/a> feels like it’s taking on the 3 Series directly, because it is. Which isn’t a surprise, considering the man behind Hyundai\/Genesis’ R&D is none other than former BMW M Boss Albert Biermann. Now, it seems as if the Korean luxury brand is looking to tackle another BMW with its own car, but with a bit of a twist — the Genesis GV60 Electric.<\/p>\n Seen in some new spy photos and videos (which we don’t own but you can see here<\/a>), we can see the upcoming Genesis GV60 Electric and it’s clearly designed to snag customers away from the BMW X4<\/a>. It’s a coupe-like crossover, sized similar to the X4, and features a sharp, sporty design. The GV60 gets nice muscular wheel arches and a handsome interpretation of the GV70’s split taillight design. However, what will separate the GV60 from the X4 is its powertrain.<\/p>\n The Genesis GV60 Electric will be — you guessed it — electric. It’s going to be built on Hyundai Genesis’ new E-GMP all-electric architecture and will act as a sort of electrified version of the GV70, itself an already sporty little crossover.<\/p>\n There’s no word on battery or power but it’s likely that the Hyundai Ioniq 5’s setup could make its way into the GV60, at least as an entry-level offering. That would give it a 77 kWh battery pack, a single rear motor, and around 225 horsepower. The Ioniq 5 has a range of around 300 miles but the heavier GV60 would see less than that.<\/p>\n
