Awards and Accolades
From the time the Genesis GV60 was introduced, it has been winning honor after honor. The 2024 Genesis GV60 earned a 2024 Editors’ Choice Award. That’s the second year in a row that it has received that honor from Car and Driver.
Giving its electric credentials their seal of approval, AutoGuide named it the 2023 Electric Vehicle of the Year. Demonstrating that new owners like it, JD Power studies revealed it as the top small premium SUV in the U.S. APEAL study. Showing off its incredible style, the 2023 GV60 was named to the Wards 10 Best Interiors List.
It was also named 2023 Luxury Family Vehicle of the Year by the Midwest Automotive Media Association. That’s encouraging to parents who are seeking an EV.
Currently it’s ranked #2 at US News and World Report while the Audi Q4 e-tron is ranked 14 in the same class. Edmunds also ranks the Genesis GV60 at #2 while ranking the Audi at #9. However, at Kelley Blue Book, the Q4 e-tron earned the #1 ranking while the Genesis is at #2.
The 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron is a IIHS Top Safety Pick. However, the 2024 Genesis GV60 is a Top Safety Pick Plus for the second year in a row. It continued that winning streak despite the tougher IIHS requirements.
Driving Range and Speed
With more electric vehicles in the marketplace, it’s only natural that luxury shoppers want to evaluate their choices. The first aspect with any EV is its long distance driving range and its horsepower.
Even with its latest updates, the 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron is still lagging behind the GV60. The figures for the 2024 Q4 e-tron seem to be the same as those for the 2024 Q4 e-tron.
In every instance, the 2024 Genesis GV60 can go further, faster. It is striking that the initial GV60 range is 294 miles while the Q4 e-tron maximum range is 265 miles.
Then there’s the GV60 dual-motor powertrains that promise incredible performance compared to the dual-motor Audi EV.
Shoppers should look closely at these numbers before they test drive. It certainly seems like the GV60 is a better choice, regardless of category.
Price and Value Considerations
Just because you are shopping for a luxury EV, it doesn’t mean you don’t care about value or pricing. At the entry level, the 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron price undercuts the Genesis GV60 price. That may make you consider it a deal.
However, the 2024 GV60 piles on more technologies, more amenities and some exclusive features. This includes biometrics such as fingerprint identification and facial recognition. Plus you get dual power chairs with the GV60 whereas the Audi Q4 e-tron wants you to upgrade to get the front passenger power chair.
However, when you look at what you get with the GV60 price plus its longer driving range and better horsepower, the Genesis is actually a much better value than the Audi.
In fact, when it comes to ownership costs, Genesis powertrain warranties are so much longer that there’s almost no doubt that the GV60 ownership costs will be less than the Audi’s. In the short run, the Genesis gives you complimentary maintenance.
In the long run, Genesis gives you an extra SIX years of powertrain coverage compared to Audi. Plus concierge services contribute to a luxurious Genesis experience.
Conclusion
Whether you care about style, value or performance, the Genesis GV60 pulls ahead of the 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron again and again.
