The GV90 is the largest car Genesis has built and the first to sit above the GV80 in the range. It is a three-row full-size SUV, 5,285 mm long and 2,030 mm wide on a 3,245 mm wheelbase, with height quoted between 1,815 and 1,825 mm depending on tyre size. It is sold only as an electric car, in two versions: the GV90 and the GV90 Neolun, the latter named after the 2024 concept whose interior and door design it carries into production. A GV90 Neolun First Edition is planned as a limited run.
Both versions use the same powertrain. A 240 kW motor drives the front axle and a 250 kW motor the rear, for 490 kW combined, which is 657 hp or 666 PS, and 800 Nm of torque split 350 Nm front and 450 Nm rear. The battery holds 123.5 kWh. Genesis quotes approximately 500 km of range for the seven-seat car, but that figure comes from its own internal testing rather than a published WLTP, EPA or Korean cycle, so it is a development target rather than a homologated number. Charging at 350 kW takes the pack from 10 to 80 percent in 22 minutes. The chassis runs multi-chamber air springs with adjustable stiffness, an electronically controlled limited-slip differential on each axle, and rear-wheel steering with up to five degrees of movement.
The safety hardware is where the GV90 does something no other production car does. It carries 12 airbags, one of which sits above the panoramic roof glass. In a severe rollover it deploys to cover the roof opening, reducing the chance of an occupant being ejected through the glass or striking it. Genesis states it is a world first. The Neolun adds the Arch Gate door structure: no visible B-pillar, front and rear doors opening independently on a dual-motion rear hinge, with high-strength steel beams and structural foam carrying the load inside the bodyshell. Front seats on both versions swivel 180 degrees when the car is parked.
Inside, a pop-up OLED centre display measures 23.6 inches retracted and 24.6 inches extended, above a 25-inch head-up display, running Genesis’s Pleos Connect software with the Gleo voice assistant. There is no start button; a new power control system takes over that job. Audio is a 25-speaker Bang & Olufsen Premier 3D system with 7.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos. The Neolun can be ordered as a four-seat Executive Suite with a comfort partition, rear blinds, a real wood veneer floor and a Smart Vision Roof whose glass dims in six separate zones. Genesis lists 16 exterior colours, three of them matte, and fits a heated windscreen, a first for Hyundai Motor Group. No prices have been announced.
