, and it's everywhere inside, from the door panels to the air vents and center console. And although the GV60 and GV70 launches were separated by mere months, there is new switchgear on the GV60's steering wheel and HVAC controls. The temperature control knobs have been replaced by toggles, and the buttons for the ventilated and heated seats are now located behind the shifter.
There's also more futurism throughout the GV60, namely in its face recognition feature that unlocks the car for you; consider car keys a thing of the past. Once through the door, the driver can start the GV60 with a scan their fingerprint, after which a console-mounted sphere rotates to reveal the shifter; besides being a feature that will impress your friends, the sphere is also a good indicator of whether the car is on or off, something that's not always clear in silent-running EVs.
