- The 2024 Genesis GV60 lineup adds a new rear-wheel-drive base model that starts at $53,195.
- Genesis claims the rear-drive GV60 can travel up to 294 miles per charge, which is 30 more than the rangiest all-wheel-drive model.
- For 2024, the dual-motor GV60 Advanced and Performance start at $61,745 and $70,745, respectively.
When the quirky Genesis GV60 debuted last year, it was only offered with a single electric powertrain and a base price above $60K. To make its electric compact SUV more accessible, Genesis adds a rear-wheel-drive configuration. Not only does it cost $8550 less than the existing all-wheel-drive setup, but it also provides significantly more estimated driving range.
GV60 Price Drop
For the 2024 model year, the Genesis GV60 lineup expands with a rear-drive Standard trim level that starts at $53,195. It features an 225-hp electric motor feeding the rear axle, and it’s fed by a 77.4-kWh battery pack that Genesis claims provides up to 294 miles of range. Compare that with the 315-hp dual-motor Advanced and 429-hp Performance models, which top out at 264 and 235 miles, respectively, of estimated range.
Folks who want the most affordable GV60 won’t have to settle for a stripped-down model, either. The Standard trim’s most notable standard features include 19-inch wheels, a head-up display, a power-operated driver’s seat with a deployable leg rest, a slew of driver assists, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Every GV60 now also has 10 airbags as well as upgraded seatbelt safety features.
The new 2024 Genesis GV60 Standard is currently on sale at select dealerships in 23 states, along with the Advanced trim that starts at $61,745. The automaker says that availability of the more powerful Performance variant, which has a $70,745 base price, will be announced at a later date.

Eric Stafford’s automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a journalism degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual ’97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a ’90 Honda CRX Si.
