If you’re eyeing a 2024 Genesis GV60, especially on the used market, you’re probably wondering what its **real-world range** looks like outside of glossy spec sheets. EPA numbers tell one story; 70‑mph highway testing, winter commutes, and years of battery use tell another. This 2024 Genesis GV60 range test pulls together independent tests and owner‑style scenarios to show what you should realistically expect from a charge.
Quick takeaway
2024 Genesis GV60 range at a glance
Key 2024 Genesis GV60 range numbers
Every 2024 Genesis GV60 sold in the U.S. rides on the Hyundai Motor Group’s E‑GMP platform with a **77.4‑kWh battery** and ultra‑fast 800‑volt architecture. Where range differs is in how many motors you have, and which wheels are on the car. The rear‑wheel‑drive Standard trim is the efficiency champ, the Advanced AWD sits in the middle, and the Performance AWD pays a range penalty for bigger wheels and more power.

EPA ratings are for mixed driving. Highway‑only tests at 70 mph usually come in lower but still respectable for the GV60.
How to read this table
EPA ratings vs real-world 2024 GV60 range
On paper, the 2024 Genesis GV60 spans **235 to 294 miles of EPA‑rated range** depending on trim and wheel size. The **Standard RWD** variant posts the big 294‑mile number, while the **Performance AWD on 21‑inch wheels** is rated at 235 miles. The **Advanced AWD** sits between those two at 248–264 miles depending on wheels.
Independent testing paints a fairly positive picture. One well‑known consumer outlet recorded **251 miles in a 70‑mph highway test** with an AWD GV60 rated at 248 miles. Another outlet saw about **200 miles at 75 mph** in the Performance AWD trim, almost exactly what you’d expect when you combine higher speed, less‑efficient tires, and the lowest EPA rating in the lineup.
- In gentle mixed driving at moderate speeds, many owners can match or slightly beat EPA numbers.
- At a steady 70–75 mph, expect **10–20% less** than the EPA rating, especially on the Performance trim.
- Bigger wheels (20–21 inches) and sticky tires meaningfully reduce how far you can go on a charge.
Highway 70‑mph range test results
Highway range is where EV shoppers get the most nervous, and where test data is most helpful. For the 2024 Genesis GV60, 70‑ to 75‑mph highway tests show that its **aero and efficiency hold up well**, but you still pay a penalty versus mixed driving.

City and mixed-driving range expectations
The 2024 GV60 is more efficient around town than on the interstate. Regenerative braking and lower speeds let you capture energy instead of burning it off as heat in the brakes. In **urban and suburban commuting**, many drivers will see range **very close to, or slightly above, the EPA figures**, especially in mild weather.
Stop‑and‑go city driving
- Frequent braking lets the GV60’s regen system do its best work.
- Speeds under 45 mph dramatically cut aerodynamic drag compared with freeway use.
- Expect the **Advanced AWD** to feel like a genuine 240–260‑mile car in temperate conditions.
Suburban mixing of city and highway
- Typical 65–75 mph short freeway hops plus local streets.
- Plan on **10–15% less** than EPA range for most trims, depending on how much of your day is spent at higher speeds.
- For a 2024 Advanced AWD (248–264‑mile EPA), that often looks like **215–235 miles** per full charge.
Good news for commuters
How cold weather hits Genesis GV60 range
Like almost every EV, the 2024 Genesis GV60 sees a notable range drop in winter. Cabin heat, battery chemistry, and wet/slushy roads all drag efficiency down. While there isn’t a single standardized 2024 GV60 winter range test, data from similar E‑GMP vehicles and owner reports suggest you can expect **20–35% less range** in sustained freezing conditions.
Main winter range killers for the GV60
1. Short trips on a cold battery
Repeatedly doing 3–10 mile drives from a cold start forces the battery and cabin heater to warm up over and over again, hammering efficiency.
2. High HVAC loads
The GV60’s heat pump helps, but running the cabin at 75°F on a 20°F day can still chop **10–15%** off your range by itself.
3. Snow and slush
Rolling resistance goes up when you’re pushing through snow or wet roads, which can quietly knock another **5–10%** off your expected range.
4. Higher winter speeds
On cold interstates, driving faster than 70 mph compounds aerodynamic drag with cold‑weather losses, an easy recipe for **30%+ hits** vs EPA range.
Winter range strategy
What actually affects your GV60’s range most
When you zoom out across the different 2024 Genesis GV60 range tests, the pattern is clear: **speed, wheels, weather, and driving style** matter more than the official trim‑to‑trim spread on the window sticker.
Four biggest levers on your GV60’s real-world range
Tweak these, and you’ll see immediate changes in how far you can go.
Highway speed
Going from 65 mph to 75 mph can eat **10–15%** of your range on its own. If you’re tight on charge, easing back to 65 is the single most powerful move you can make.
Wheel & tire choice
Bigger, wider wheels (20–21 inches) and stickier tires look great but cost efficiency. The Performance AWD’s 21‑inch setup is a main reason its highway test numbers lag the other trims.
Ambient temperature
Cold batteries are less efficient, and cabin heating is energy‑intensive. Expect **the largest percentage hits below 32°F**, especially on short trips.
Driving style
Hard launches and late braking waste energy that regen can’t fully recapture. Smooth, anticipatory driving can easily be worth **another 5–10%** of range.
When range anxiety is justified
How the 2024 GV60’s range compares to rivals
On paper, the 2024 Genesis GV60’s range is competitive but not best‑in‑class among luxury compact EV crossovers. In AWD form, its 235–264‑mile ratings trail the best versions of the **Ford Mustang Mach‑E** and **Tesla Model Y**, and they’re generally in the same ballpark as the **Audi Q4 e‑tron** and **Volvo C40 Recharge**.
2024 Genesis GV60 range vs key competitors (AWD trims)
EPA combined range ratings for popular luxury and near‑luxury electric crossovers in all‑wheel‑drive form.

The GV60 rarely wins the spec‑sheet range battle, but its ultra‑fast charging and strong highway efficiency help close the real‑world gap.
Range isn’t the whole story
Range checklist for used Genesis GV60 shoppers
If you’re looking at a **used 2024 Genesis GV60**, real‑world range becomes even more important. You’re no longer buying a theoretical EPA rating, you’re buying whatever that specific car’s battery and use history have left on the table. Here’s how to evaluate range before you sign.
Practical range checklist for a used GV60
1. Confirm the exact trim and wheels
Ask the seller for the VIN and build sheet so you know whether you’re looking at a Standard RWD, Advanced AWD, or Performance AWD, and whether it’s rolling on 19‑, 20‑, or 21‑inch wheels. Those details can swing real‑world range by **40–60 miles**.
2. Ask for recent full‑charge photos
Have the owner charge to 100% and send a photo of the projected range in the cluster along with outside temperature. It’s not a lab test, but it gives a sanity check against the original EPA numbers.
3. Review charging habits
Cars that lived on DC fast charging at very high states of charge may show more degradation. Look for cars primarily charged on **Level 2 at home** and only occasionally fast‑charged on road trips.
4. Test a typical route
If possible, do a **highway test drive at your normal speed** for 20–30 miles. Compare the drop in state of charge to what you’d expect based on EPA range. It’s a quick, real‑world mini range test.
5. Get a professional battery health check
Whenever you can, get third‑party battery diagnostics rather than relying only on a guess. Tools that read pack health and usable capacity will tell you how closely the car still tracks its original range numbers.
