Company cars aren’t just about the tax benefits. Or the fact your employer pays the insurance. It’s a split decision. Head and heart. Logic meets vanity.
Genesis nailed this split. Their GV60 isn’t just another EV on the lease circuit. It’s the best-seller in the UK for them now. And for good reason. The update last year didn’t just polish the edges. It made the business case stronger. For the fleet manager and the driver.
Three trim levels. Up to 348 miles. Tech that actually keeps you safe and sane. Here’s why it’s topping the list.
It’s actually comfortable to live in
Let’s be real. Fleet drivers are glued to the road. Commuting. Client meetings. Errands you shouldn’t really be doing at work expense but do anyway. If your “office” sucks, the job feels heavier.
The GV60 knows this.
Inside, it’s soft. Plush materials meet buttons that actually click satisfyingly under your fingertips. No endless menu-diving in a tablet interface just to turn up the heat. The layout is logical. The steering wheel does what you need. And that gear selector? It’s a Crystal Sphere. It rises from the floating center console. Feels like jewelry.
Built on an EV platform, there’s no hump between your legs. The floor is flat. The space feels wide. It reminds you less of a car cabin and more like that one nice airport lounge where they give you free nuts.
Tech that doesn’t annoy you
The big news is the screen. A 27-inch integrated cockpit. One panoramic glass slab spanning the dashboard.
It merges the nav, the gauges, the music player. All into one.
You talk to it. “Hey Genesis.” Keeps your eyes up. Your hands where they belong. It streams Netflix too. Disney+. Bloomberg terminal. Why not? If you’re stuck at a charging point, you might as well pretend you’re on a lounge chair. Pair that with the optional Bang & Olufsen 17-speaker system with Dolby Atmos and suddenly the wait for a 350V charge passes like nothing at all.
Speaking of charging… maybe you won’t be waiting that long anyway.
Seats that work while you drive
Most cars offer leather. Or maybe suede. Genesis goes deeper.
Nappa is an option on lower trims. Standard on the Performance model. You can pick from four colorways. Suede hits the doors and roof. It looks expensive. It feels expensive.
But the hardware does the heavy lifting.
The Ergo Motion seat has seven air pockets. Seven! They adjust. In Sport mode they bolt you into the seat with extra bolstering. At rest? They massage your back. The front seats even recline fully. If you’re parking near the office. Or if the charger takes ten minutes and you’re tired. Add the Convenience Pack for full recline and suddenly the GV60 competes with private jets in terms of relaxation, if not altitude.
