Safety Rundown
ANCAP lists the Genesis GV60 at 5 stars (2022) and the Toyota Kluger at 5 stars (2021). ANCAP tested these in different years (2022 vs 2021). Its criteria get stricter about every three years, so the stars are not like for like. Adult occupant protection scored 89% for the Genesis GV60 and 90% for the Toyota Kluger, under different test years.
Where the two diverge is in active safety technology. We can confirm 7 of 10 key ADAS systems on the Genesis GV60, against 5 on the Toyota Kluger.
Both include the essentials: lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, a reversing camera. Airbag count is 8 in the Genesis GV60 and 7 in the Toyota Kluger.

Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Genesis GV60 uses a Electric Motor producing 168kW and 350Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a RWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.8 seconds.
The Toyota Kluger responds with a 2.5L 4-cyl Hybrid making 184kW and 242Nm, paired to a cvt driving all four wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 7.9 seconds.
The Toyota Kluger has the clear power advantage at 184kW vs 168kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Genesis GV60 is 0.1s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Genesis GV60 measures 4,515mm long on a 2,900mm wheelbase, 451mm shorter than the Toyota Kluger at 4,966mm (2,850mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Genesis GV60 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 432L in the Genesis GV60 and 241L in the Toyota Kluger, giving the Genesis GV60 a 191L advantage. The Toyota Kluger seats 7 vs 5.
For towing, the Toyota Kluger leads with a 2,000kg braked capacity vs 1,600kg. That 400kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Toyota Kluger's turning circle is 0.5 m tighter, 11.4 m against 11.9 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, electricity for the Genesis GV60 costs about $864 a year (18 kWh/100km) and fuel for the Toyota Kluger about $1,596 a year (5.6 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Genesis GV60) and 5 years / Unlimited (Toyota Kluger). Capped-price servicing: 5 years (Genesis GV60), no data (Toyota Kluger).
Where each one leads
The Genesis GV60: the bigger boot with the seats up (432L against 241L).
The Toyota Kluger: the lower starting price ($62,410 against $88,300), more power (184kW against 168kW) and the higher braked towing limit (2,000kg against 1,600kg).
The Verdict
Toyota Kluger scores higher, 78 vs 73

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
