Genesis GV60's Most Beloved Feature
【Summary】The Genesis GV60 is an electric SUV with impressive features such as facial recognition and fast charging. However, its standout feature is a decorative glass ball called the "Crystal Sphere." The orb lights up and rotates to reveal the gear shifter when the car is turned on, and then retracts when the car is turned off. Although it serves no practical purpose, it adds a cool and enjoyable element to the driving experience.
The Genesis GV60 is a new electric SUV from Hyundai's luxury brand. It comes packed with impressive technology, including facial recognition, automated stop-and-go driving, and ultra-fast charging. However, the standout feature of this vehicle is the "Crystal Sphere," a decorative glass orb that serves no practical purpose but looks incredibly cool.
Most of the time, the Crystal Sphere sits halfway sunk into the GV60's center console. When you approach the SUV, unlock it, and sit down, the sphere lights up with a soft, colorful glow. But it's when you switch the car on that the Crystal Sphere truly shines. With the press of the starter button, the sphere electronically rotates 180 degrees, revealing the GV60's gear shifter.
When you turn off the car and switch into park, the gear shifter dial stows away, and the mesmerizing orb takes its place. It may seem silly and unnecessary, but it's undeniably wonderful. Testing the GV60, I found myself repeatedly turning the car on and off just to witness the Crystal Sphere in action. It never failed to bring a smile to my face.
The Crystal Sphere also changes colors to match the ambient lighting vibe in the GV60. It adds an extra touch of visual appeal to the vehicle's interior. Genesis assures drivers that they have taken precautions to ensure the sphere's durability. It has been tested with spills and weight-bearing to prevent any issues with its rotation. In case of an emergency, drivers can even manually move the sphere.
Overall, the Crystal Sphere is a prime example of how electrification is driving automakers to think outside the box and introduce innovative features. It's these unique touches that set vehicles like the Genesis GV60 apart from other electric cars on the market. So, while the Crystal Sphere may not serve a practical purpose, it adds a delightful and futuristic element to the driving experience.
