ANCAP lists the Genesis GV60 at 5 stars (2022) and the Toyota Prado at 5 stars (2024). ANCAP tested these in different years (2022 vs 2024). 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 85% for the Toyota Prado, 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 Prado.
Both include the essentials: lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, a reversing camera. Airbag count is 8 in the Genesis GV60 and 9 in the Toyota Prado.

Feature Showdown
The Genesis GV60 features a 12.3-inch touchscreen paired with a 12.3-inch digital dash, while the Toyota Prado gets a 12.3-inch display and 7-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Genesis GV60 stands out with head-up display, wireless charging, panoramic roof, heated front seats, ventilated seats, power tailgate, V2L and Bang & Olufsen audio — features our data doesn't list for the Toyota Prado. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.

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 Prado responds with a 2.8L 4-cyl Turbo-Diesel 48V V-Active making 150kW and 500Nm, paired to a automatic driving all four wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 9.6 seconds.
The Genesis GV60 has the clear power advantage at 168kW vs 150kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Genesis GV60 is 1.8s 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, 475mm shorter than the Toyota Prado at 4,990mm (2,850mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Genesis GV60 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 432L in the Genesis GV60 and 408L in the Toyota Prado, giving the Genesis GV60 a 24L advantage.
For towing, the Toyota Prado leads with a 3,500kg braked capacity vs 1,600kg. That 1,900kg 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 Genesis GV60's turning circle is 0.1 m tighter, 11.9 m against 12.0 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 Prado about $2,166 a year (7.6 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Genesis GV60) and 5 years / Unlimited (Toyota Prado). Capped-price servicing: 5 years (Genesis GV60), no data (Toyota Prado).
Where each one leads
The Genesis GV60: more power (168kW against 150kW) and the bigger boot with the seats up (432L against 408L).
The Toyota Prado: the lower starting price ($72,500 against $88,300) and the higher braked towing limit (3,500kg against 1,600kg).
The Verdict
Toyota Prado scores higher, 77 vs 73
The Toyota Prado scores 77 to the Genesis GV60's 73 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 2 of the 6 spec rows that separate them, at the lower price. The biggest gaps: practicality (Toyota Prado ahead by 16 points), reliability (Toyota Prado ahead by 5 points).

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).
