New Genesis GV60 turns from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde
Genesis is becoming the king of the blink-and-you'll-miss-it update. Its GV60 hatchback is the latest model to get an almost invisible nip and tuck. However, look beyond the minimal makeover and Genesis has boosted the GV60's dynamics with the aim of turning this mild-mannered machine into a super fast, drifting hot hatchback. Like its sister cars from the Hyundai family, the GV60 sits on the company E-GMP platform that has been updated to accommodate a larger 84kWh battery – up from 77kWh on the old GV60. That means a decent range bump – now up to a claimed maximum of 348 miles, a handy increase of 27 miles over the old car. What hasn't changed is the 10 to 80 per cent charging time of 18 minutes at charging speeds up to 240kW. It's the character of the GV60 that has changed the most, which is hinted at by a 0-62mph time of 4 seconds (unchanged from the previous model) using Genesis' now-familiar boost button on the steering wheel. However, the paddles behind the steering wheel – which used to adjust the brake generation – now have a naughty secret. Pull them both towards you at the same time and you'll unlock Drift Mode, turning the car into a demon drifter that you'll be able to use for lurid slides (on a suitable circuit, of course). The GV60 has clearly been taught a thing or two by the sporty Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. There's now a virtual gearshift that simulates the behaviour of a conventional gearbox using the paddles. New four-pot brakes are now standard across the range, while an electronic Limited Slip Differential and four-wheel drive can also be specified for greater traction out of corners. In spite of the newfound sense of fun, the GV60 has retained its premium looks – this still doesn't look like a sports car. New bumpers and the front and rear will be spotted by the eagle-eyed, while a new version of Genesis' two-line headlamps are probably more noticeable – just. There's now colour-coding on the wheel arches, bumper inserts and rear diffuser along with new alloy wheel designs and one new colour – Tromso Green Metallic – among the 14 options. Inside you'll spot the new 27in panel across the dash that merges the driver display and infotainment, while there's a new three-spoke steering wheel, heated, of course. Thankfully the show-stopping revolving Crystal Sphere gear selector remains in the centre console between the front seats. The Bang & Olufsen audio system has had an invisible upgrade, too – it still has 17 speakers but now features Dolby Atmos for an enhanced sound experience. There's also a new digital rear-view mirror, while some of the other tech has been improved and will continue to get updated through a new over-the-air update system. Prices have yet to be confirmed for the new GV60, but Genesis retailers will be taking orders from 1 July.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 N high-performance electric sedan teased ahead of July 2025 debut
The Ioniq 6 N has been teased ahead of its official debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Notify me The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N edges closer to an official debut with the South Korean carmaker unveiling several teaser images today. The upcoming high-performance electric sedan was hinted at earlier this year, and it builds on the success of the Ioniq 5 N, which was launched two years ago. Hyundai is aiming to expand its N portfolio of high-performance variants with the Ioniq 6 N being the latest entry on the list. While the teaser images do not reveal much, they do show off the electric sedan's silhouette, rear wing, and taillights, among other details. The Ioniq 6 N carries over the design changes made with the MY26 Ioniq 6, comprising an aerodynamically streamlined design with a sharp bonnet and sleek LED DRLs. It features flared-out fenders, which bring a much wider stance, and gets new lightweight wheels. The rear end features a ducktail spoiler and a large wing, designed through numerous tests for aerodynamic efficiency.

Although the car does not seem to have a connected taillamp, it will feature a dotted line of smaller pixels arranged horizontally across the boot lid. Hyundai Ioniq 6 N: Technical details The Ioniq 6 N will likely be built on the same E-GMP platform as the Ioniq 5 N and will share its 641 bhp electric powertrain. Hyundai says the Ioniq 6 N embodies three core performance pillars, which are 'Corner Rascal', 'Racetrack Capability', and 'Everyday Sportscar'. To this end, the electric sedan is not expected to fall short of expectations. While there are no available details regarding the specifications, the Ioniq 6 N is expected to carry over the same 641 bhp AWD electric powertrain that underpins the Ioniq 5 N. The Ioniq 5 N is built on the E-GMP (Electrified-Global Modular Platform) that also underpins the Ioniq 6 and Kia EV6. It brings a dual-motor setup, with the front electric motor putting out 222 bhp and the rear delivering 377 bhp. With this, the Ioniq 5 N can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 3.4 seconds, topping out at a speed of 260 kmph. It is propelled by an 84 kWh battery pack, enabling a single-charge driving range of 355 km. The Ioniq 6 N will most likely be built on the same platform and is expected to feature similar specifications, if not identical. Hyundai will officially debut the Ioniq 6 N at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2025. With the Ioniq 5 N being priced at $66,200 ( ₹ 56.62 lakh), expect the sedan to bear a slight premium while staying under the $70,000 mark ( ₹ 59.87 lakh). Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India.

Our Hyundai Ioniq 6 Is Almost as Fast as a Porsche Taycan
These days when it comes to analyzing performance, traditional metrics like 0 to 60 mph and quarter mile times often only tell part of the story. Sure, the likes of a 2025 Porsche Taycan S can easily pummel a fellow EV sedan such as our yearlong review 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE Long Range out at the test track. But when it comes to charge times, we recently found during our testing that the Ioniq 6 can more than hang with the Taycan S. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE Long Range impresses with fast charging, nearly rivaling the Porsche Taycan. It adds 267 miles in 30 mins, is efficient, and costs $43K. However, its 292-mile real-world range falls short of the 361-mile EPA estimate. It excels in city efficiency but has minor tech annoyances. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next It's the type of result that further highlights how impressive Hyundai's E-GMP platform-based EVs continue to be, even when matched against Porsche's recently updated and equally impressive Taycan models. Now that our Ioniq 6 is back at our Los Angeles HQ, we had a chance to subject it to our EV testing regimen, and not only did it outperform just about every other Hyundai Group EV we've tested to date, it's the third fastest-charging EV we've ever tested when it comes to cumulative range added after 15 and 30 minutes at a DC fast charger, behind only a 2025 Taycan S (we tested the Taycan S in both its Normal and Range modes, and are listing the closer Normal results). It's not quite a photo finish, but the Ioniq6 is in the Taycan's ballpark. Here are the results: MotorTrend's Yearlong Review 2024 Ioniq 6 SE Long Range RWD Cumulative Range Added @ 15 min: 200 miles Cumulative Range Added @ 30 min: 267 miles 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S Performance Battery Plus (Normal mode) Cumulative Range Added @ 15 min: 207 miles Cumulative Range Added @ 30 min: 273 miles The differences can be primarily chalked up to the fact that the Taycan S can ingest significantly more average power than the Ioniq 6 when charging from 5 to 80 percent (258 kW for the Porsche versus 195 kW in the Hyundai) and 5 to 100 percent (124 kW versus 105 kW), with total peak power also handily in favor of the Porsche (325 kW for the Taycan and 242 kW for the Ioniq 6). It also must be pointed out that the Ioniq 6 is considerably more efficient—153/127/140 mpg-e versus 89/85/87 mpg-e—so each mile of range added requires fewer kWh coming through the charger. The numbers are also competitive when looking at baseline 5 to 80 and 5 to 100 percent charge times. The Ioniq 6 matches the Taycan to 80 percent at 19 minutes, and the electrons streak into its 77.4-kWh battery pack some six minutes quicker to 100 percent at 45 minutes versus 51 minutes for the Porsche and its 97.0-kWh battery pack. Note that the Taycan has a lot more battery to fill than the Ioniq 6 does. When it comes to our signature MotorTrend 70-mph Road Trip range test, however, the Porsche simply took the Ioniq 6 out to the woodshed, sort of like they'd do if both cars were pitted against each other in a quarter-mile drag race. At an official EPA combined range of 361 miles, the Ioniq 6 managed 292 miles in our test that runs a car at a steady highway route from 100 to 5 percent charge. That's 19 percent off the EPA number and slightly worse than our overall average. It's a good number for its $43K price, however, and it's important to note that we don't expect our test to match the EPA's numbers (our real-world numbers have also normally been far lower). Interestingly, we tested our yearlong car with about 11,400 miles on the odometer, and the number we recorded was virtually the same as a new, mechanically identical 2023 Ioniq 6 we previously range tested, which speaks to the consistency of both our test and the Ioniq 6's battery life to date. It was a far different story for the 2025 Taycan S, which recorded better range test numbers than its official government estimate of 295 miles. In its default drive mode, the Taycan cleared 302 miles, and it cleared 314 miles in efficiency-maximizing Range mode. The Taycan is among the few vehicles we've tested that have bettered the EPA's numbers. The Ioniq 6 does hold one other edge over its fellow EV sedan, with a slightly better drag coefficient (0.21 vs. 0.22), numbers that help both models with overall efficiency. As our testing continues to make clear, nothing is certain, and everything is constantly changing with the charging, performance, and efficiency of EVs that often leads to surprising results, as these numbers illustrate.
