This Car Has No Key!

I own this car so a couple of keynotes: The car does come with two normal keys, so that if you don’t like any of the alternative methods, you can use the regular fobs as normal. There are 6 friggin ways to get into and drive the GV60 by default: fobs, wallet NFC card, physical keys, face/finger, UWB phone, and app. You can also set the car to automatically unlock based on both UWB or the key fob on approach, so you don’t ever have to actually press the handle to unlock the car.

The rivian bluetooth being down is bizarre. Imagine standing in front of your car, and you cant get in because a server 2000 miles away is offline. Why does all this stuff require internet access?!

The seat adjustment buttons on the side of the passenger seat are for the rear seat passengers to adjust for leg room. My old infinity g37x had this.

I've owned a GV60 since January and love it! I don't trust the biometrics exclusively but having either the phone key or my face to get into the car means I have two methods of unlocking without a fob and it's never let me down! I usually don't drive around without my phone anyway.

Physical offline key is a must.

3:18 that's the B-pillar, not A-pillar, for the face unlock camera.

I've had a GV60 for a year, and the facial recognition has been 100% reliable. The fingerprint reader is less reliable, but I have always gotten it to work after 2 or 3 tries. I would not rely only on biometrics as long as the fob is viable.

Glad you mentioned the snow/ice/cold climate issue. My first thought was how much of a pain the face sensor/pop-out door handls would be to deal with in subfreezing conditions

It would be really interesting to see the Volvo EX30 from your perspective! I don't know the relevance of it in the US, but for Europe, this, in my opinion, will be a great example of how to make electric vehicles more accessible. Great video as always btw =)

FYI The A pillar is at the front of the car, and the camera is in the B pillar

"Just turn off when I get out" Never has anything truer been said. AMEN!!!!!!

I can't wait to see your thoughts on the Ioniq 5 N. I think you'll hate the simulated gear shift mode but after hearing why they are doing it (manage temperatures, balancing chassis before a corner, general emotion of an ICE car, etc.) it makes more sense than the typical EV setup

Some kind of physical key that does not require power or internet or Bluetooth is a must. I have had several occurrences with my tesla where I either left my phone in the house and needed to quickly get into the car, or my phone died after being away from the car all day, or the app (as Marques pointed out) just failed to work. If I didn't have the provided keycard in my wallet I would have been stuck.

6:58 The driver-side passenger seat adjustment is actually quite clever. You might want to adjust the seat for a passenger who might have difficulties using the seat adjustment controls because of unfamiliarity with how they work or because of their location lower down. Other cars should have that, too.

It would be cool if you gave us visual driving impressions. I'm not expecting a full on automotive journalist type of coverage, but to see the cars you talk about in motion be cool. Even just clips here and there of the vehicle in motion would be nice.

As a first time buyer looking to get into the EV market, any change of you making a top 3 or top 5 video? I love all your videos and they certainly help form a picture. But i'd love to have a direct list of pros and cons for your top picks. And specifically in my case, cargo space and passenger space (family of 5) Keep up the great work !

I’m a big Genesis/Hyundai/Kia fan. They are making great cars. I had a 2017 Genesis G90 and it was awesome. Have a Palisade now and I love it. Great content, as usual!!

The one thing that the GV60 has above it's more "normal" siblings in the Ioniq5 and EV6 is that the Performance Pack cars have around 100HP more than the other cars (excepting the EV6 GT that has 576HP). So for a time this was the quickest e-GMP car that the Hyundai family offered. It's still a great performer compared to the others if people are looking for that.

We had our GV60 Performance since 12/1/2022 (love the car) and use the key fob as the primary method to access the car. The good news is that by just carrying the fob and walking near the driver's door the doors unlock (using the car's proximity sensors) - no button to push. However once inside, the car will ask for confirmation of the driver (driver 1, driver 2 or guest). Drivers 1 or 2 are linked to specific driver setting ( seats, mirrors, radio stations). Currently I have an iPhone X and this Apple model is too old to use as a smart key - will have wait until the fall when a newer Apple phone is purchased. The best part of having facial recognition or the phone smart key, if you have ever loose your keys /fob, you can still drive the car. Redundancy access features are great when needed.

The interior looks like what back in the 60s they considered as modern and futuristic. Looks fantastic!
