Genesis is going big. The luxury carmaker has officially unveiled the new GV90, its first full-size SUV with three rows of seats and the largest model in the brand’s range. Based on the Neolun concept that debuted in 2024, the GV90 puts much of that concept’s spectacular design and lounge-like interior into production. The GV90 will be offered in two versions: the conventional GV90 and the more elegant GV90 Neolun. The latter receives Genesis’ new Neolun Arch Gate, which replaces the traditional B-pillar with a hidden structural design and independently opening coach-style doors. What’s new? The 2027 GV90 is Genesis’ first full-size flagship SUV, bringing the Neolun concept to production. What about the design? The GV90 is inspired by traditional moon jar pottery, with 24-inch wheels and, on the Neolun, carriage-style doors. What’s up with the powertrain? The GV90 uses a 123.5 kilowatt-hour battery and two electric motors that produce 657 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. What about the scope? Genesis estimates about 311 miles (500 km) of range for the seven-seat model, with 350 kilowatt fast charging. 2027 Genesis GV90 Coach Doors Photo by: Genesis Korean-Inspired Design Genesis drew heavily on traditional Korean design for the exterior of the GV90. The company says the SUV’s proportions and surfaces are inspired by the “moon jar,” a traditional Korean ceramic container known for its simple shape and elegance. At the front, the GV90 has Genesis’ familiar two-line lighting signature, along with new Wing Face Micro Lens Array (MLA) headlights that are seamlessly integrated into the body. Just below them is a large G-matrix design grille. At 208.1 inches long, the GV90 is a substantial SUV. It rides on 22- or 24-inch forged wheels, depending on trim, and features recessed taillights for a clean, minimalist look. Genesis will offer 16 exterior colors, including 13 gloss finishes and three matte options.

Materials include natural wood, real stone, cashmere wool and leather. The biggest party trick comes courtesy of the GV90 Neolun. Its Neolun Arch Gate uses hidden B-pillars and coach-style doors that can open independently, creating a huge opening between the front and rear doors. Genesis developed a new dual-motion hinge for the rear doors. They first move slightly outward before opening, allowing them to operate without interfering with the front doors. A luxury lounge on wheels The GV90 rides on a 127.8-inch wheelbase and has a completely flat floor, while the GV90 Neolun can be configured with four seats. In another first for Hyundai (and we suspect for most automakers), the Neolun’s front seats can electronically rotate 180 degrees while the vehicle is parked. The cabin is also packed with technology. A 23.6-inch OLED screen serves as the main instrument and infotainment screen while driving. When parked, it rises 90.0 millimeters to create a larger 24.6-inch screen for viewing content. There’s also a massive 25.0-inch head-up display instead of a conventional instrument cluster. The GV90 is also the first Genesis model to feature Pleos Connect, Hyundai’s new Android Automotive-based infotainment system. The GV90 doesn’t skimp on traditional luxury either. It includes a 25-speaker Bang & Olufsen Premier 3D audio system, along with Ambient Glow lighting that runs throughout the cabin. The seats even have 15 individual air cells and a pulse vibration function for massage. Clean. The four-seat GV90 Neolun Executive Suite takes things up a notch with a second-row wood veneer floor (yes, real wood) with radiant heating, a privacy partition, roller shades, a refrigerator, and a six-zone Smart Vision roof that can adjust its transparency. 8 Source: Genesis The GV90 has a 123.5 kWh battery Underneath all that opulence is an electric-only platform called eMP, which Genesis developed specifically for its flagship models. The GV90 uses a 123.5 kilowatt-hour battery, making it the largest battery installed in a Hyundai Motor Group electric vehicle to date. Genesis estimates that the seven-seat GV90 will travel approximately 500 kilometers, or about 311 miles in the United States, on a single charge. A 350-kilowatt DC fast charger can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in 22 minutes. Power comes from front and rear electric motors that produce a combined 657 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The GV90 is also the first Hyundai Group vehicle with dual electronic limited-slip differentials, one on each axle. Genesis says the system improves traction on slippery surfaces while also helping the SUV maintain composure during high-speed cornering. A multi-chamber air suspension, electronically controlled dampers and rear-wheel steering complete the chassis. The rear wheels can turn up to five degrees, which Genesis says gives the massive SUV a turning radius comparable to that of a mid-size car. 2027 Genesis GV90 Key Details Length 208.1 inches Width 79.9 inches Height 71.5 (22-inch wheels) / 71.9 (24-inch wheels) Wheelbase 127.8 inches Power 657 HP / 590 LB-FT Battery capacity 123.5 kWh A rare affair Genesis has yet to announce US pricing or detailed availability, but the GV90 should have an important price given everything mentioned. The company will also introduce a first edition GV90 Neolun at the launch. It adds two-tone exterior paint, 24-inch body-color forged wheels, cashmere wool interior trim, and exclusive Genesis logos on the Crystal Sphere controller, headrests, and door sills. The First Edition will be available in three exclusive combinations: Jaipur Rose with Seychelles Beige, Vik Black with Baena Green and Vik Black with Sonoran Navy. Motor1’s Opinion: With the arrival of the new GV90, Genesis makes its biggest push yet into the full-size luxury SUV segment. And given all the equipment on offer, it looks like a serious competitor to the Bentleys and Rolls-Royces of the world. We want your opinion! What would you like to see on Motor1.com?
