Wayne said she purchased the Uyuni White GV60 at a Genesis store in Santa Monica, California, after being drawn to its bold styling and advanced technologies.
“GV60’s design is simply breathtaking and you can’t beat its curb appeal,” Wayne said. “I wanted to be part of the next generation of luxury EVs. I like to think that the GV60 has evolved the basic function of electric cars into a new kind of sustainable luxury.”
In mid-May, Genesis announced it would launch and start sales of the GV60 in the United States. The small, crossover SUV is Genesis’s first EV. Tech was a core focus of the GV60 project, as the automaker mentioned several of the “world-first automotive features” it would include in including Face Connect and a Cyrstal Sphere. These are innovative new features that will enable drivers to be more connected with their vehicle, Genesis said.

The program was open to clients in California, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, and streamlined the delivery process by simplifying the stress put on the buyer. Wayne took part in the program, and said she feels “lucky” to be the first U.S. owner of the vehicle.
