Citroën C5 Aircross Electric vs Genesis GV60

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Genesis GV60 has the higher published DC charging figure at 240 kW, which is roughly 50% higher than the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric at 160 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Genesis GV60 is listed at about 18 minutes, which is 9 minutes quicker than the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric at 27 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Genesis GV60 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 470 km, which is roughly 30 km more than the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric at approximately 440 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Genesis GV60 consumes 195 Wh/km, compared to 197 Wh/km for the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric. That means the Genesis GV60 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Genesis GV60 has approximately 80 kWh of useable battery , while the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric has approximately 73.7 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Genesis GV60 has the higher published DC figure (up to 240 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 18 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Genesis GV60 is the more efficient choice at 195 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Genesis GV60 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 470 km, which is roughly 30 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
