2024 Genesis GV60 RWD Addresses the Biggest Issue with EVs

The 2024 Genesis GV60 Standard RWD starts at $52,000, while the GV60 Advanced AWD and GV60 Performance AWD models have starting prices of $60,550 and $69,550, respectively. However, one problem highlighted in SlashGear’s review of the 2023 Genesis GV60 remains unresolved – the limited availability of the vehicle in North America. Currently, the GV60 Standard RWD and GV60 Advanced AWD are only available at select retailers in 23 states, and the availability of the GV60 Performance AWD has not yet been announced.

Despite this limited availability, the 2024 Genesis GV60 should not be disregarded as an option for those looking to purchase a new EV, especially considering its increased range. The new model also introduces several standard features, including a Wi-Fi hotspot capability, Highway Driving Assist II, and Advanced Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist. Genesis has also enhanced safety measures by adding more airbags, a seat belt pretensioner, load limiter, and rear seat belt reminder to the 2024 model.

Moreover, the luxury EV retains the advanced features found in previous Genesis models, such as the ability to operate the vehicle using fingerprint and/or facial recognition instead of a key. Additionally, the GV60 boasts a unique and innovative feature – a drive shift in the form of a glowing crystal ball. Those interested in purchasing a 2024 Genesis GV60 can obtain more information from a local Genesis retailer or by visiting the automaker’s website.

Owner of 2022 Chevrolet Silverado Displeased with Electrical Problems After 10,000 Miles

The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado LT, equipped with a 5.3-liter V8 engine and a crew cab body, is currently priced at around $54,000 on Chevy’s website. This price does not include additional features such as a rear-view camera, tonneau cover, or multi-function tailgate. Therefore, purchasing a Silverado with these amenities for $6,000 less is a fantastic deal.

In the embedded video above, the owner of this truck shares his experience after buying a 2022 Silverado LT for $48,000 last year. Over the past year, he has driven over 10,000 miles and uploaded a video on his YouTube channel to discuss the positives and negatives of owning this vehicle.

Firstly, the owner appreciates the exterior design of the full-size truck. He also praises the footstep features embedded in the rear bumper and the multi-function tailgate, which can open in various ways and includes a step for easier access to the truck bed. However, the owner points out that when a hitch is installed, the tailgate step cannot be fully utilized because it touches the upper half of the tailgate.
