Genesis GV60

Before I knew it, this is already my third car from South Korea. Finally, I got myself the strongest South Korean "taxi", the Ioniq 5N.

I first got to know about Hyundai N through WRC. The car's graceful drifts on muddy and snowy roads and its outstanding achievements all demonstrated its uniqueness. From then on, I learned that besides AMG, M, and RS, there was also something called N. However, these cars were never introduced to China, so I just took a look and didn't have much experience with them.

Then one day a couple of years ago, China started promoting the then-strongest "taxi", the Elantra N. Hyundai N caught my attention again. Unfortunately, it was a bit late as I was already married. Although this hot hatch had excellent handling, sufficient power, and a super-strong gearbox, its small cargo space and overly plastic interior forced me to give it up.

But good things always come when fate allows. Last year, I wanted to get rid of my gas-powered car and switch to an electric one. I checked out almost all the electric cars on the market that I was interested in. No matter how hard I looked, I always felt something was missing. Some lacked performance, some were too much like new startups with a single screen for everything, and some had a poor daily driving experience. I also hoped it would have CarPlay. I was sighing and thinking, was there really no electric car suitable for me on the market?

Just then, the even stronger South Korean "taxi", the Ioniq 5N, was going to be introduced to China. When I saw it, it was electric, an SUV, and had explosive performance. What? It could even retain the engine sound and gear-shifting feeling of a gas-powered car. The interior was much better than that of the Elantra, and the price was right. So I immediately signed up for a test ride and drive. This was the first time in my life that I drove on an F1 track. During this journey, the 5N completely won me over.

It's been some time since I picked up the car. I've always wanted to test the acceleration, but never got the chance. Either the owner was around or it kept raining non - stop. I once tested the 0 - 100km/h acceleration on a slippery road and got a result of 4.25 seconds. Finally, I got an opportunity when the owner went back to her parents' place. Let's start!
Conditions during the test: Tire pressure was 2.6 bar, the battery was over 70% charged, boost mode was on, ESC was completely off, there was a box of water in the trunk, the trunk was stuffed with all sorts of stuff, and the driver weighed 75 kg.
Due to the limited conditions of the test site, I originally planned to do a 0 - 4 - second - level test, but could only do a 200 - meter test. Please understand. The results are shown in the picture below.
Brief summary:
The final result was 4.01 seconds. If I took all the stuff out of the trunk, it should be able to break the 4 - second mark. If the road surface and tire conditions were better, it should have no problem reaching the manufacturer's claimed performance. I saw on YouTube that some foreigners got a result of 3.9 seconds.
The acceleration isn't as fierce starting from 80 km/h, but you can still feel it strongly. When accelerating from 120 km/h, there's only a sense of being pushed back in the seat without the feeling of being pressed down. However, this motor can reach a top speed of 245 km/h, so I'm a bit confused whether it emphasizes the initial or the later stage of acceleration. The acceleration from 60 - 120 km/h is also quite fast. It takes about 5.4 seconds to go from 0 - 120 km/h, which is more than enough for daily use. After all, it's positioned as a commuter car for well - off ladies, focusing on comfort rather than being a performance monster. In daily use, you can overtake whenever you want.
The purpose of this test is to give everyone a reference for the car's acceleration ability so that you don't choose the wrong opponents on the road. I hope you like it.

¡¾Car Purchase Experience¡¿
After watching Teacher Xia's expert review, I became very interested in this model. Then I saw Jack Wang praising it non - stop. I really fell in love with it.
¡¾Endurance¡¿
The nominal endurance is 551. Now in winter, the temperature here is about 0 - 5 degrees Celsius. When I turn on the air - conditioner, seat heater and steering wheel heater after getting in the car, the endurance is only less than 400. However, the range shown on the meter is very accurate, which won't make people feel anxious.
¡¾Power Performance¡¿
The acceleration feeling in the "Economy" and "Comfort" modes is similar to that of a gasoline - powered car. When you press the "Boost" button, it's like taking off. I've only used this function once after driving 2000 kilometers since I picked up the car. This function brings more psychological satisfaction than practical use.
¡¾Configuration¡¿
Most current electric cars are equipped with frameless doors, automatic door opening and closing, and full - screen operation, but the 60 doesn't follow this trend of mainstream Chinese electric cars. I really like that. It has all the necessary comfort features. The physical buttons are convenient to operate, and I hardly use the central control screen.
¡¾Appearance¡¿
The car has a unique style, showing the designer's distinct touch. When viewed directly from the front or back, it looks a bit dull. However, it looks really cool when viewed from an angle. The shape of the wheels also enhances its overall charm, and the car's paint is very beautiful.
¡¾Interior¡¿
It has a delicate gasoline - car style with many convenient designs. For example, the vertical phone slot in front of the central control and the drawer - style glove box are both practical and aesthetically pleasing. The dark blue leather with fluorescent yellow stitching is very eye - catching.
¡¾Driving Experience¡¿
The intelligent driving assistance is very useful, but it's a bit too sensitive. It seems like a very cautious car. The steering is accurate, and it drives very steadily, giving the driver strong confidence to handle every journey. Overall, I'm satisfied.
¡¾Least Satisfied¡¿
I tried the automatic parking function in the garage. It just reversed straight towards a pillar. Maybe it couldn't see clearly because the garage was too dark. I stopped it when the tailgate was less than ten centimeters away from the pillar. I don't know if it would turn the steering wheel forward. I'm too scared to try again.
¡¾Summary¡¿
It's a good car, and the after - sales service is also very good. It's a pity that in this era, brand power is more important than product power. Hold on, Genesis! Haha.
