00:00 The following portion of the Arizona Daily Mix is sponsored by Earnhardt Genesis of Gilbert.
00:08 Well hi and welcome to another one of Wally's Weekend Drives.
00:18 You know we are so blessed today, we're out here at the Santan Motorplex here at Santan
00:23 Hyundai and Genesis, right, let's make that clear right to start with.
00:28 You guys, you know, right to start with Jack, let me introduce you, Jack Peeples right here,
00:33 one of the main boys with the joy toy right out here, he's the guy that's going to hook
00:37 you up with the good deal right here, and that good deal is on this GV60, right Jack?
00:41 That is correct.
00:42 Yeah man, I'll tell you what, this is a rockin' car.
00:45 It is, 100%.
00:46 It's built on Genesis' E-GMP platform, where the battery pack is actually the floor of
00:51 the vehicle, it's got nice interior volume, and definitely quick.
00:54 Yes, quick, I mean, okay, everybody knows I'm a gear head, right?
00:57 Okay, so this just took everything to the next level right here.
01:01 This has a button inside, we'll talk about it a little bit later, has a button called
01:05 the boost button.
01:06 Boost mode.
01:07 Man, I'll tell you what, if you watch IndyCar or F1 racing, they got a boost button on their
01:11 steering wheel, does exactly the same thing.
01:13 So if anybody out there is a race fan, you know what that boost button does.
01:17 Now, with that being said, let's walk around up front right here and take a look.
01:20 Now again, electric vehicle, you know it's going to be aerodynamic, it's always about
01:24 the drag coefficient, right?
01:26 Exactly.
01:27 And what we see right here, normally you have a big grill down here that's got to cool the
01:31 motors.
01:32 Well, we've got two electric motors in here that don't need as much cooling as you might
01:36 think, at least not now, maybe in the summertime it might.
01:39 But you can see inside there, there's louvers that open and close, whether it's for the
01:44 cooling for the air conditioning, or maybe if it closes up, a la NASCAR, it's kind of
01:49 like you seal everything up, you hug it to the ground, and you get your best MPG.
01:53 Yep, that's the best range is going to be with the lower drag coefficient.
01:56 So the active air flaps will open and close depending on vehicle condition, and you notice
02:01 the lines of the vehicle, very low drag coefficient.
02:03 Yes, in fact, let's talk about that.
02:05 Grady, if you get around here to the side, you'll see it's like a clamshell hood right
02:09 here, kind of like a Porsche almost.
02:11 I mean, when I look at this thing, it just has a lot of DNA in it like that.
02:16 And when I go through the car wash, the drying cycle is kind of like Wally's wind tunnel,
02:22 I like to say a lot of times, and it shows where the low pressures are on it.
02:27 And one thing I noticed about the wheels, they must create a low pressure right there
02:31 because there was zero water beating up on that on the outside.
02:35 Very much so.
02:36 Those wheels are unique to the EV because they do have a low drag coefficient, helps
02:40 improve range.
02:41 That's right.
02:42 Along with this air curtain right here, we like to call it that tunnels air from the
02:45 front and creates that little bubble around the side too.
02:48 And again, it's all about mileage, right?
02:50 Yep.
02:51 So again, speaking drag coefficient, you can see that these handles actually go in
02:56 flush when it's locked.
02:57 And then to open it, you just do that.
03:00 Now talk about the meat and potatoes.
03:02 I mean, this car is beautiful on the outside.
03:05 It's really what's on the inside that counts, I think.
03:08 That's where you spend most of your time.
03:09 Oh man, I'll tell you what.
03:11 And you know, right here, we talked about that boost button is right there.
03:15 It's yellow, it's caution.
03:17 It definitely is something to be aware of.
03:21 100%.
03:22 Yes, yes.
03:23 So never drive over your limit.
03:24 The speed limit is posted everywhere, including your heads up display there.
03:28 So you shouldn't be speeding right there.
03:31 One of the cool things I like when you fire it up, the crystal ball right there flips
03:35 over and turns into the shifter.
03:37 I thought that was pretty cool.
03:38 It does.
03:39 And that's actually tied in with the ambient lighting so you can change the color of that
03:42 crystal ball too.
03:43 Oh man.
03:44 Yeah.
03:45 So you can do like palm readings in the front seat here, right?
03:46 Exactly.
03:47 If you're looking for a side hack.
03:48 Well, one thing that you like about the interior, again, is the nice leather.
03:53 Napa quilted leather.
03:54 Yeah.
03:55 Heated and vented.
03:56 Yes.
03:57 And heated in the back too, right?
03:58 100%.
03:59 You also get the microfiber suede headliner.
04:01 Gives you a sense of luxury.
04:02 Helps quiet the cabin down.
04:03 There you go.
04:04 I know some of the bigger ones, like the G90, is actually like a chauffeur driven kind of
04:08 thing that the seat comes out and does all kinds of cool stuff.
04:12 But run around here to the back real quick because we want to show a couple of things
04:15 here.
04:16 So the electric hatch is great here.
04:18 The luxury interior here went all the way back to the back.
04:23 You'll see there's a 12 volt outlet back here for your accessories.
04:26 But right here, this is what Genesis gives you to plug in at home.
04:31 Now this is a 110, like a level one charger.
04:35 Not recommended for long term use.
04:36 If you're going to buy one of these, you normally get a-
04:39 Level two installed at home.
04:40 Yes.
04:41 Yeah.
04:42 That's basically like your dryer, like a 220 or something like that.
04:45 Yeah.
04:46 That's basically your dryer outlet.
04:47 Okay.
04:48 So MSRP on this is $71,320.
04:51 Like I said, we're down here in Earnhardt, Genesis.
04:54 What kind of deals you guys got?
04:55 You got any specials going on for the month?
04:57 There's always going to be low APR.
04:59 We're here to sell cars.
05:00 That's right.
05:01 Okay.
05:02 So when somebody says, I don't know Jack about cars, you know I know Jack because he's standing
05:06 right here talking to me.
05:07 Yep.
05:08 And that ain't no bull.
