I took an "available now" 168kW RWD GV60 over a "forever being delayed" AWD EV6.

Whilst I am happy with the performance of 168kW for a daily (it *feels* a lot more than 225bhp due to instant shove), I'm not sure I would want to go much lower.

Regarding battery \ range - that depends very much on use. Do you have charging at home and can commute (round trip) within 50% of the smaller battery, so you always have plenty in reserve? Do you have any regular long trips where you will need to charge to reach your destination?

Our is on a boat somewhere. Hopefully end of November.

My RWD GV60 had most boxes ticked (boat due 13th of November) and was about 5K more total than the comparable I5, however that is mitigated partly by the 5 years free servicing and 5 years free Shell/Ionity discount scheme (plus 5 years free road assistance), this is aside from the difference in quality of the interior (part of the selling point to me, though the nappa leather and upgraded seats did add close to £6k to the base price)

Yeh there is some amazing interior features on the GV60. Really hope Genesis kicks off in the UK market and would love a GV70 EV saloon at some point cause they look so cool

Awesome mate - 1 year wait must be so exciting lol!

So that would be the smaller battery and did you get19inch wheels on that?

It's a 73kwh with 20" wheels, in Lucid Blue.

Nice one post some pics where you get it!

We've had it about 10 days now and covered just over 1,000 miles, averaging about 3.5mi/KWh. It's really lovely inside and out - really impressed with it. A few gratuitous photos..:

Lovely. Is car play still only by cable?

I’ve got one for the weekend. Pretty cool, I’m growing to like the infotainment but the ride is pretty poor as it bobs down the road and very coarse on roads. Dark cabin but the interior light is like a sun. Boot is pretty small too aswell, nov sure what the press and hold for the tailgate to open and close but summon is ace.

Yes - though we had a wireless adapter in the previous car that works just fine here too.

That's good to know. Do you have a link for the adapter you used please.

Thanks.

Looks great

Looks amazing - cancelled my order today as Tusker said it could be OVER 12 months. Plan is now to keep an eye out for Q1 with potential stock deals or cancellation. Relying on pending recession to get over this supply hump just a complete joke!

Just not realistic - would get bored of waiting for the car before I even owned it!

Car is in the uk and as predicted it's. It the promised spec. It's a 22.75 not 23 as we were promised.

We either take it or re-order and it will be here September 2023.

Slightly annoyed but there we have it.
