REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOHyundai Motor Group / PexelsOur verdict
8.4 / 10The Genesis GV60 is the most distinctively styled electric SUV in its class, pairing a seriously premium interior — headlined by its dual OLED display arc and crystal sphere gear selector — with strong real-world range and 800V ultra-fast charging. In UAE context it undercuts the Porsche Macan EV significantly while offering genuinely comparable features and performance.
Who it's for — Premium EV buyers who want a uniquely designed, technology-rich alternative to the usual German electric SUV trio, with the reassurance of fast charging and a generous warranty.

- +Up to 481 km range on the entry RWD trim — strong for the class
- +5-year/unlimited-km warranty stands out in the premium segment
CONS
- –Brand recognition and resale values trail German rivals in the UAE
- –Boot space (432 L) is adequate but not class-leading for a 4.5 m SUV
- –Juma Al Majid showroom network is smaller than BMW, Mercedes, or Audi in the UAE
- –Standard 2WD top speed of 185 km/h feels conservative vs peers
- –Performance AWD trim premium of AED 40,500 over Standard AWD is steep
