Should You Buy the 2025 Genesis GV60?

Good standing, with a caveat. Among 2025 SUVs the GV60 rates below average, though it is the best of its three scored model years. The 2024 rates about the same, with 14 complaints and 5 recalls against 4 and 4 here. Federal crash testing gave it 5 of 5 stars.

The 12 volt battery is the issue to know. Both electrical complaints say it stops recharging and goes dead, leaving the car lifeless with blank instruments. It can happen more than once on a new car. Getting going takes manual access under the hood and a jump start, which does not always work. One car sat at the dealer without a fix. Federal recall records list four recalls: structure, visibility, back over prevention, and two for the electrical system.

Ask for proof that every recall was completed and for any battery repair records. The 2024 is worth comparing, since it rates about the same.

25V4740002025-07-17

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain Genesis 2023-2025 G90 and GV60 vehicles. Due to a software error, the instrument panel display may fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."

Consequence

An instrument panel display that fails to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, increases the risk of a crash.

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may become damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, which can result in a loss of drive power.

Consequence

A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the ICCU and its fuse, as necessary. In addition, dealers will update the ICCU software. All repairs will be performed free of charge.

Used Buying Checklist

Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2025 Genesis GV60.

Ask for service records and look for any 12 volt battery replacement, jump start, or repeated no-start visits.
Have a shop load-test the 12 volt battery and check that it holds a charge.
Let the car sit overnight before the test drive and confirm it powers up with working instruments.
Run the VIN through federal recall records and confirm with a dealer that all open campaigns are completed.
Learn how to open the hood manually on a dead car before you buy.

2025 Genesis GV60 Common Problems by Component

4 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (2)SERVICE BRAKES (1)VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL (1)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

2 complaints

The 12 volt battery stops recharging and goes dead, leaving the car completely lifeless with blank instruments. Both complaints describe this failure, and it can happen more than once on a car bought new. Getting back on the road takes manual access to open the hood and a jump start. A jump does not always fix it, and sometimes the car will not stay running until the battery is fully recharged. Dealer repairs are slow: one car stayed in the service department without a fix. Neither report gives a mileage or mentions a crash or fire.

SERVICE BRAKES

1 complaint

Brakes failed completely and car rolled down a steep driveway and flipped.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

1 complaint

2026-02-06

My wife and I have both experienced intermittent power loss on the vehicle — specifically after stopping and restarting, such as at traffic signals. During these incidents, the car moves extremely slowly even with the accelerator fully pressed, before eventually resuming normal acceleration. This has happened 3–4 times between us, and on one occasion, the car nearly stalled in the middle of an intersection, which was genuinely frightening. I brought the vehicle to Genesis of Charlotte in mid-January 2026 for diagnosis. After multiple checks, the service team was unable to identify any issues and advised me to take the car back. When I asked whether they had checked with Genesis for any known reports of this issue, the service manager told me, "That's not how we work — we diagnose by ourselves." I was surprised by this response, as I have since found this issue reported by other GV60 owners online (including on community forums), suggesting it may be a broader, known concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2025 Genesis GV60 reliable?

Yes, it has a good reliability standing and is the best of the three scored GV60 model years. Against other 2025 SUVs it ranks below average, though. Owners filed 4 complaints, and two of them describe the same dead 12 volt battery problem. Federal records also list four recalls.

What are the most common problems with the 2025 Genesis GV60?

The main pattern is the electrical system, specifically the 12 volt battery. Two owners say it stopped recharging and died, leaving the car with blank instruments. A jump start does not always fix it, and one car stayed at the dealer without a repair. The complaints show no other pattern.

Does the 2025 Genesis GV60 have 12 volt battery problems?

Some do. Both electrical complaints describe a battery that stops recharging and goes dead, and one says it can happen more than once on a car bought new. Owners had to open the hood manually to jump it. Neither report gives a mileage, so it is unclear when the failure shows up.

Does the 2025 Genesis GV60 have any recalls?

Yes, federal recall records list four recalls for this model year. They cover structure, visibility, back over prevention, and the electrical system, which has two. Ask the seller or a Genesis dealer to confirm each one was completed, since the electrical recalls relate to the area owners complain about most.

Is the 2025 Genesis GV60 better than the 2024?

Only slightly, and the two rate about the same. The 2025 has 4 complaints and 4 recalls, while the 2024 has 14 complaints and 5 recalls. Part of that gap may come from the 2024 simply having been on the road longer, so compare condition and service records rather than picking by year.

Don’t buy a 2025 Genesis GV60 without checking its VIN first — hidden accidents, title issues, and open recalls could cost you thousands.
