Genesis has a big new SUV that takes cues from China’s luxury EV segment
The Genesis GV90 puts the brand in the same company as the Cadillac Escalade IQ, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV, and the Lucid Gravity.
Genesis, Hyundai's luxury brand, has unveiled a new full-size electric SUV called the GV90. This vehicle is set to compete in the same segment as luxury SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes-Maybach EQS. The standard GV90 offers seven seats and massage features, while the more luxurious GV90 Neolun variant boasts rear-hinged coach doors, eliminates the fixed B-pillar, and includes a swiveling front seat.
The GV90 Neolun Executive Suite configuration takes luxury to another level, featuring a refrigerator, tables, privacy blinds, and a glass roof with adjustable transparency. The second row of the GV90 is equipped with a wood floor featuring radiant heating, inspired by Korea's traditional underfloor heating system known as ondol.
Genesis claims that the GV90 will have an estimated range of 310 miles, with a 350-kilowatt fast charger able to charge it from 10% to 80% in just 22 minutes. The GV90 still offers the basic amenities expected in a luxury EV, such as massaging seats. While it may not match the competitive pricing of some Chinese counterparts, Genesis has not yet announced a US price for the GV90.
