Genesis bring safety to the slopes with mountain rescue GV60

Korean premium car brand has built a one-off mountain rescue version of its GV60 EV.

The Genesis GV60 Mountain Intervention Vehicle (MIV) was revealed this week in Davos, Switzerland, as world leaders met for the World Economic Forum.

The one-off concept features triangular caterpillar tracks to tackle snowy and rugged terrain and a refitted interior to carry essential rescue equipment.

This is the third year Genesis has showcased a concept car at Davos, following the Genesis X Concept in 2023 and the Genesis X Snow Speedium Concept in 2024.

Based on the regular all-electric sports SUV and inspired by existing ‘small unit support vehicles’, the Genesis GV60 MIV features rugged snow tracks shrouded by carbon fibre wheel arch extensions and skid plates to offer extensive underbody protection.

It also gets a heavy duty roof rack to extend storage, while the rear cargo area features a pull-out modular storage area housing rescue, medical and emergency communications equipment.

There’s no hint of a powertrain upgrade, so we’d guess this one-off concept uses the same 483bhp/513lb ft twin-motor setup as the road-going version to power its tracks.

“Genesis prides itself on creating safe, well-designed luxury vehicles that are audacious, progressive and distinctly Korean,” said Genesis chief creative officer Luc Donckerwolke. “The GV60 MIV Concept expands this vision of comfort and care.”
