Genesis GV60 electric lease deals

Leasing a GV60 in the UK

The world of battery electric vehicles is paving the way for new and exciting new product, and manufacturers, to reach our UK customers. With the UK’s deadline for ending combustion vehicle sales only a few years away, manufacturers are presented with a key opportunity to introduce their product to personal and business leasing customers.

And Tesla proved that even an unknown brand can fast become the best-selling EV in the world! The GV60, the first all-electric product from Genesis, is looking to do just that. A luxury offshoot of the Hyundai corporation, Genesis are aiming for their “No Compromise” luxury mid-sized SUV to set the standards in sustainable luxury motoring.

While other product will follow from Genesis motors, namely a GV70 and GV80, the group are looking to establish recognition in the UK via their GV60, which will start from around £47,000. The crossover/SUV option will look to compete against the Ford Mach-E, the Skoda Enyaq Coupe and the upcoming Nissan Ariya. Electric SUVs and Crossovers are without a doubt the most-popular segment in the UK’s electric car market, so this group are more than educated on what it takes to win the support of the personal, business and salary sacrifice markets in the UK.

Customers will be able to choose one of three options:

• GV60 Premium – a 72.5 kWh usable battery offering 0 – 62 times of 7.3 seconds, 115mph top speeds, a 240-mile real world range and all via a 168 kW (225 hp) motor; 
• GV60 Sport - a 72.5 kWh usable battery offering 0 – 62 times of 5.2 seconds, 115mph top speeds, a 230-mile real world range and all via a 234 kW (314 hp) motor; and
• GV60 Sport Plus - a 72.5 kWh usable battery offering 0 – 62 times of 4.0 seconds, 155mph top speeds, a 220-mile real world range and all via a 360 kW (483 hp) motor.

Where customers can really take comfort is that the battery technology is underpinned by a world leader in electrification – Hyundai. The Genesis brand is very much about creating more luxury automobiles where style, comfort and performance are more heavily propagated. Providing choice based on performance and budgets is crucial to our UK electric car market, so the e-car lease team have high hopes for the GV60.

But can the Genesis GV60 provide a good electric car experience?

Looks, comfort and power output aside, the ability for an EV to make our customers happy relies on other key factors. Taking the Premium model, this “standard” option will not only offer around 205-mile ranges in winter, 275 miles in summer but the battery is capable of 11 kW AC charging for sub-8 hour 0 – 100 % charging times.

And what’s even more impressive, is the 239 kW DC rapid charging max for 15 minute 10 – 80 % charging times. With EVs, it’s not just about the range the car offers but how quickly you can recuperate the charge when you are on the public network. With more rapid and ultra-rapid charger points being made available in the UK, it’s crucial that manufacturers allow for 200 kW DC (and higher) charging speeds. Who really wants to spend more than 15 to 20 minutes at a service station?

And the Genesis GV60 looks set to wow the company car market, which has shown an incredible resilience to new and innovative concepts. In the combustion world, many of the recent years have been dominated by brands like Ford, Mercedes, Audi and Vauxhall. For battery options, we have the opportunity for new contenders and the UK’s business and salary sacrifice markets are absorbing them.

The rhetoric that “there isn’t enough EVs to choose from” no longer holds any standing. But why do BCH customers love electric cars so much? In the last couple of years, key changes by HMRC have seen the company car tax position on zero-emission vehicles change. For an electric car, with 0g/km of CO2, this allows for 2% BiK for tax year 2022/23 (and this will be fixed for the next 3 years). This means many of our e-car customers are saving literally hundreds of pounds per month on their new EV, like the GV60. The same rationale applies to salary sacrifice customers too.

But it isn’t just company car tax which is making the GV60 so popular in the UK. Even personal customers, who would generally PCP a combustion option, are now investigating the lease deals on electric cars. Why you ask? Because EVs are not only better to drive, quicker, quieter but they often present a better Whole of Life cost position for you.

With the GV60, use our charge cost calculator to understand exactly how much the car will cost to go from 0 – 100% and compare this to your usual petrol or diesel bill. Also note that the GV60 will be cheaper to service and maintain than combustion alternatives. And with new emissions zones being putting into places across Manchester, Birmingham, Bath and London, the UK automotive customers need to make a transition to BEVs sooner rather than later.

Getting an instant GV60 lease quote is so simple with our e-car lease website. Simply select the battery / specification you require from our comprehensive list and use our quote calculator to select a term, initial rental (deposit), annual mileage and maintenance provision which suits you or the company.
