Hyundai Motor Group’s luxury brand, Genesis, has finally revealed the most awaited full-size luxury electric SUV, the GV90, on August 20, 2026, releasing its exterior and interior image and disclosing the core specifications. The EV is built on the in-house built eMP platform and resembles the design that we get on the Genesis Neolun Concept, showcased on March 25, 2024, at Genesis House in New York City, USA. Let’s have a closer look.
Exterior design
The exterior image shows that it has a double-layer, full-width LED daylight running light integrating the main headlights at the side, adding the modern and futuristic touch to its front-end view. Features a flat and long bonnet, giving it the stance of a luxury electric SUV. On the sides, it gets pronounced wheel arches with the large alloy wheels improving its road presence and in-profile appearance.
They have introduced two variants for the Genesis GV90; the standard one comes with a conventional door, and the Neolun gets a coach door with the hidden B-pillar. Notably, the handles for the doors are flush-type with chrome detailing to ensure a smooth side surface for better aerodynamics. Chrome garnishing on the window surround further enhances its side view and makes it more appealing.
Get outside-rearview mirror on A-pillar. The rear has a two-layer parallel taillight on the tailgate that connects with the slim taillamps on the outer edges. The rear lights mirror the front-end lighting signature to some extent. Other details that are clearly visible at the back are the skid plate beneath the bumper for underbody protection, the large rear windscreen, and GENESIS lettering on the tailgate.
Interior features
The GV90 comes with a seating capacity of 6 people with captain chairs in the middle and 7 individuals with bench-like structure seats in the second row, but the Neolun is available as a four-seater 2-2 arrangement and also as a six-seater in a 2-2-2 layout. The interior images show that before the driving seat, it has a D-shape three-spoke steering wheel with physical buttons for controls.
The dashboard centre gets a 23.6-inch OLED touchscreen infotainment system which runs on Pleos Connect, which can rise up to 3.4 inches to enhance video watching when the vehicle is parked. Just below the screen, it has a block of physical buttons. The ultra-luxury variant, Neolun, seats come with a 180-degree rotating feature, a built-in refrigerator, privacy blinds, and an adjustable glass roof.
Powertrain specs
The standard and Neolun get the same powertrain. On the front and rear axle, there’s an electric motor that generates 240 kW (326 PS or 322 hp) and 250 kW (340 PS or 335 hp) power. These e-motors combined deliver 490 kW (666 PS or 657 bhp). Its closest rival is the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV; compared to it, this Genesis all-electric SUV is around 90 kWh (113 hp) more powerful.
The e-motor gets power from a lithium-ion battery pack mounted beneath the floor, whose gross capacity is 123.5 kWh but whose net is 115 kWh. When the battery pack is fully charged, it runs up to 481 km, claimed as the official Korean range. Two different figures regarding the range are made public by the carmaker; they are 503 km for city driving and 453 km for highway cruising. The range claimed by the company is for ideal conditions; in the real world, it is set to vary depending on driving style.
Its electrical architecture is 800-volt high voltage, which enables this EV to support DC chargers up to 350 kWh. Notably, with maximum output it takes only 22 minutes for 10-80% charging, which roughly adds to the official Korean range of 337 km. Its charging speed is not too fast; drivers who don’t have any problem with taking a gap of around half an hour for driving may go with it. For clarity, its closest rival takes 8 minutes more for 10-80% charging; it does have a nearly similar capacity battery.
