Meet the Genesis GV90

The GV90 is a near replica of the Neolun concept, which was first unveiled by Genesis nearly two and a half years ago. The GV90 features a B-pillar coach door, a pop-up Cinematic Display that extends to 24.6 inches, and VIP swiveling front seats. The GV90 is built on Hyundai's new eMP platform, which is designed exclusively for Genesis flagship vehicles.

The GV90 will be available in two variants: the GV90 Neolun Arch Gate, which includes independently opening and closing hidden B-pillar coach doors, and the standard GV90 with traditional swing doors. The Neolun Arch Gate features a newly developed dual-motion hinge mechanism for the rear doors, enabling them to open and close without impacting the front doors.

The GV90 is equipped with a range of advanced safety features, including the world's first Roof Airbag, an in-car Monitoring System, and 12 airbags. The Roof Airbag deploys automatically in a rollover, covering the entire roof glass to protect passengers.

Premium Interior Features and Advanced New Tech

Inside the GV90, drivers will find a range of premium features and advanced technologies. The GV90 is Hyundai's first vehicle to adopt its New Power Control System, which allows the vehicle to power on and close the doors automatically as the door handle is pulled. The vehicle also features a unique pop-up center OLED Cinematic Display screen, which can extend up to 24.6 inches when parked.

The GV90 also features a 25-inch Head-Up Display (HUD) providing the vehicle's speed, navigation prompts, and ADAS functions. The vehicle is equipped with Hyundai's new Pleos Connect infotainment system, which is based on the Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS). The system is more like using a smartphone, with apps and customizable screens.

The GV90 also features a range of premium extras, including a 25-speaker Bang & Olufsen Premier 3D sound system, Virtual Venue, and Ambient Glow mood lighting. The GV90 Neolun Executive Suite, a 4-seat configuration, delivers "the ultimate VIP experience," Genesis said, with a premium real wood veneer floor and a radiant heating system inspired by Korean "ondol" underfloor heating.

Dimensions, Battery Specs, and Range

The GV90's exterior design is inspired by the Korean moon jar, with a reductive, minimalist design that features no unnecessary details. The GV90 is massive, measuring 208.1 inches long, 79.9 inches wide, and 71.5 inches tall (71.4 inches with 24-inch tires), with a 127.8-inch wheelbase.

The GV90 is powered by a 123.5 kWh battery pack, which Genesis estimates will provide around 310 miles (500 km) of range for the 7-seat version. When using a 350 kW DC fast charger, the GV90's battery can charge from 10% to 80% in just 22 minutes.

The GV90 features a new system that delivers the most powerful performance of any Hyundai Motor Group EV yet. The dual-motor AWD system provides a combined maximum output of 657 horsepower (490 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. The GV90 also features active Rear Wheel Steering, allowing the vehicle's rear wheels to turn up to five degrees.
