A distinctive chrome V-shape on the C-pillar adds a jolt of visual flair. Measuring 177.8 inches long, 74.4 inches wide, and 62.2 inches high, its compact, muscular proportions give it a planted, athletic stance that really stands out in a crowded market.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the GV60 Advanced wows with a futuristic and upscale cabin. The star of the show is the "Crystal Sphere," a rotating orb that flips to become the gear selector when you power on the car.
