Following the reveal of its new flagship sedan, the Genesis G90/EQ900, Hyundai’s stand-alone luxury brand has confirmed that it will be introducing two crossovers and one coupé. The three new models are part of Genesis' six car line-up which consists of two SUVs, three sedans, and one coupé.

With the news of launching Genesis as a stand-alone brand, Hyundai also revealed that it planned to feature a six car line-up by 2020. The first of these six cars is the G90/EQ900 luxury sedan set to replace the Hyundai Equus internationally, as a rival to the S-class and 7-series.

Though no details were revealed about the three models confirmed, Hyundai Motors America CEO, Dave Zuchowski hinted at the two SUV models being more crossover than body-on-frame SUVs. The coupé model confirmed could be a production version of the G Coupe Concept that made its debut in August 2015. There is also a 3-series rival that is also supposedly under development.

The G90 luxury sedan is set to be launched in international markets early next year, with the first being Hyundai’s home market of Korea.

The all-new Audi Q7 and the new Volvo XC90 are both big, luxurious and packed to the gills with the latest tech. But which is the one to go for?

Q7’s low-set dashboard is unique among SUVs; frontal visibility is excellent.

Front seats are large and remain comfy over long distances.

Q7 middle row offers immense space but thigh support not best.

Third-row seating position is quite knees-up.

Interior lighting gives look of a cockpit.

Air-con buttons are touch sensitive.

High-res digital instruments look superb.

Third row backrests can be folded/raised at the touch of a button.

360-degree camera comes very handy when placing the big Audi.

There’s very limited foot room in the third row.

Spare wheel positioning in boot is simply ridiculous.

You’ll have to leave behind the spare wheel to make full use of the third row and boot.

Touchscreen takes pride of place on Volvo dash. Cabin has a soothing air about it.

Front seats as comfy as they look.

XC90 cabin isn’t as airy as the Q7’s but space is good. Middle-seat squab could be larger.

Large windows and decent headroom make XC90 third row feel quite useable.

Touchscreen is just brilliant to use.

Central controls have rich crystal effect.

Audio system sounds incredible.

Rear-most occupants get dedicated air-con vents.

Front seat ventilation is a great feature for India. Seats are heated too.

Manual steering adjust is not in keeping with the XC90’s price.

Gearbox not enthusiastic. There are no paddleshifters either.

With all seats up, the Volvo has the larger boot.
