AutoGuide has just four categories in its annual list, making this accolade all the more meaningful for Genesis. In fact, three of the four winners were electric models, showcasing a shift toward sustainability in the automotive world.

What helped the Genesis GV60 stand out among its competitors the most were things like its sharp design and innovative technologies. “For every person who worries that the electric future will lack personality, the GV60 is the ultimate rebuttal,” noted AutoGuide road test editor Kyle Patrick. Amenities like facial recognition, V2L capability, and a fingerprint sensor were just some of the highlights for the experts at AutoGuide.
