The Genesis GV90’s design has been patented in India. Revealed internationally in August 2026, the all-electric SUV sits at the top of Genesis’s global line-up. The patent hints at a possible India launch when the luxury brand makes its debut here in 2027. Globally, the GV90 will be offered in two configurations: a standard 7-seater and a more luxurious 4-seater Neolun. The Indian design patent, however, is for the former.
- Produces 544hp and 800Nm, making it the most powerful EV for the Hyundai group
- Features a 123.5kWh battery with a claimed range of around 500km
- Could be a rival to the Mercedes-Maybach GLS if launched in India
Genesis GV90: All you need to know
Patent images look identical to the international-spec model
The design patent images of the Genesis GV90 show no major differences from the internationally available model. The SUV features Genesis’ signature two-line LED DRLs, alloy wheels ranging from 22 to 24 inches, a clamshell bonnet and LED lighting units on the front fenders. The front bumper features large gloss-black air inlets, while chrome accents run along the lower doors, window surrounds and rear bumper, complementing the chunky chrome strip at the front.
At the rear, the GV90 gets two-line LED taillights, a Genesis wordmark on the tailgate and a rear bumper with a chunky chrome insert. The SUV also features frameless windows.
Gets front swivelling seats and an extendable infotainment system
The Genesis GV90 gets a minimalist, tech-focused cabin, highlighted by a 23.6-inch OLED infotainment screen powered by Pleos Connect, which can extend to 24.6 inches at the touch of a button when parked. Instead of a conventional driver’s display, it gets a 25-inch head-up display (HUD), motorised air vents and real glass dashboard buttons.
Other features include massage seats, a 25-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, a panoramic glass roof with configurable transparency and a heated windshield. In terms of safety, the GV90 gets 12 airbags, including a roof airbag that Genesis claims is a global first in a passenger car. It rapidly covers the roof glass during a rollover to help prevent occupant ejection and reduce injuries. The seat airbags also deploy in two stages depending on the occupants’ posture.
It is the most powerful EV for the Hyundai group yet, producing 544hp and 800Nm
The Genesis GV90 eSUV gets a 123.5kWh battery, the largest ever in the Hyundai Group, offering a claimed range of around 500km (based on Korea Energy Agency certification). It powers dual electric motors producing 544hp and 800Nm, the highest output among the group’s EVs. The battery supports 350kW DC fast charging, taking 22 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent.
Each motor gets an e-LSD (electronic limited-slip differential), a first for the Hyundai Group, to improve power distribution, cornering agility and grip on slippery or uneven roads. The GV90 also features multi-chamber air suspension, dual-valve adaptive dampers and rear-axle steering with up to five degrees of movement. Another group-first is its new power control system, which starts the EV when a passenger pulls the door handle and automatically moves the column-mounted drive selector from the 12 o’clock to the 2 o’clock position when the door closes, leaving it ready for drive mode selection.
As mentioned earlier, the Genesis GV90 will be the flagship model Hyundai brings to India when it launches the Genesis brand here in 2027. It could be joined by the GV80, which was patented in India in 2024. If launched, the all-electric GV90 is expected to command a premium price tag, putting it up against the Mercedes-Maybach GLS.
