A pair of new luxury EVs go head to head in a nail-biter of a comparison that could speak to each automaker’s electric future.
. Something of a surprise, the GV60 is the stubbiest of that trio, looking more aggro-anime hot hatch than luxury SUV. Genesis deserves praise for its multitude of interior and exterior color options, but the advantage goes to Cadillac in design and sheer presence.
The Lyriq's charging power tops out at 190 kW, but the GV60 can charge at up to 235 kW, a nearly 25% advantage. Eventually, the GV60's peak charging power could swell to 350 kW with over-the-air updates, widening the gap even further. Cadillac counters with either two years of unlimited public charging at EVgo stations or a credit of up to $1,500 for home charging station installation through Qmerit.
As for the back seats, Genesis didn't skimp out. The materials are just as nice as what's up front, and although the floor is a little high , head- and legroom are acceptable even for full-size adults. Sun shades, a panoramic roof, USB ports, and ample storage space improve the back-seat experience. The cargo area is on the tighter side, though, and you can't remotely fold the rear seats from the hatch area.
The digital suite is outstanding from a design perspective, we just wish it worked better. Basic vehicle functions like opening the glove box or toggling the headlights are buried behind menus. The Cadillac's three regenerative braking modes require diving into driving settings, too. There are strengths here—the Google Maps integration with charge location planning comes to mind—but the Genesis infotainment is easier to live with.
The Genesis also offers quicker steering response than the Cadillac; there's nearly a full rotation less when turning lock to lock. This augments the agility advantage inherent to the GV60's chassis and powertrain tuning.
