Genesis Gv60
NHTSA safety across every Genesis Gv60 model year we cover.
Across the 3 model years of the Genesis Gv60 we cover (2023 to 2025), the strongest crash-test showing is the 2025 at 86 on the NHTSA Safety Index, and the lowest is the 2024 at 85. 17 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Genesis GV60 is a luxury electric compact SUV aimed at buyers who want premium refinement alongside zero-emission driving. Positioned as the sportiest entry in Genesis's EV lineup, it competes in the growing upscale electric crossover segment and targets tech-forward professionals who refuse to trade comfort or safety for sustainability. Coverage spans the 2023 through 2025 model years.
The Genesis GV60 earns a Best NHTSA Safety Index of 86 out of 100 in its 2025 form, landing it firmly in the Strong band. That is a respectable score for a luxury electric compact SUV, and the star-rating breakdown tells an encouraging story: a perfect 5 out of 5 in both side-impact and rollover testing reflects the low center of gravity that battery-floor architecture tends to provide. The frontal result of 4 out of 5 stars is solid but leaves a measurable gap from a clean sweep, and shoppers should weigh that honestly. Where the GV60's safety picture gets more complicated is in its recall count. Across the 2023 to 2025 model years we cover, NHTSA has logged 17 recalls. For a relatively low-volume, recently introduced nameplate, that figure is notably high and worth scrutiny before purchase. Prospective buyers should run a VIN check at NHTSA.gov to confirm all open recalls have been remediated. Owner complaints stand at 75 across the covered years, including 3 reported crashes and 1 reported injury. These are unverified allegations, but the complaint volume for such a niche model deserves attention. The GV60 is genuinely impressive on a crash-test pad, but the recall history introduces real-world uncertainty that prevents a top-tier safety endorsement from MotorCaliber. Verify recall status before buying.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the GV60 for its distinctive styling, upscale interior execution, and engaging driving character within the luxury electric SUV class. They tend to highlight its premium technology features and brand ambition, while noting that Genesis is still building its service network footprint, which factors into overall ownership confidence for some critics.
- The 2025 GV60 achieves an NHTSA Safety Index of 86 out of 100, placing it in the Strong band, but its 4 out of 5 frontal crash-test score means it has not achieved a perfect safety sweep.
- Seventeen recalls across the 2023 to 2025 model years is a high count for a low-volume luxury EV, making a VIN-specific recall check at NHTSA.gov an essential step before any purchase or lease.
- Owner complaints total 75 across covered model years, with 3 reported crashes and 1 reported injury noted among them. These are unverified allegations, but the volume warrants awareness for a vehicle sold in relatively modest numbers.
- The GV60 earns perfect 5 out of 5 stars in both side-impact and rollover testing, a result consistent with the structural advantages of a dedicated EV platform where battery placement lowers the vehicle's center of gravity.
