Genesis has revealed the GV90 EV as its new flagship SUV. Showcased in its production-ready avatar, the GV90 is the largest and most luxurious Genesis model to date. It is based on the 2024 Neolun Concept (Neolun translates to 'New Moon') and retains most of the concept's exterior design, but sports a more polished cabin. It gets the largest-ever battery on any Hyundai model yet, and a dual-motor AWD setup.

1. 5.3-metre length is closer to the Rolls-Royce Cullinan
2. 123.5kWh battery offers around 500km range
3. Dual-motor AWD setup produces 544hp, 800Nm
4. 4-seater variant gets coach doors, hidden B-pillar

Genesis is offering the GV90 globally in two versions: the standard GV90 and the GV90 Neolun, with 7- and 4-seater layouts, respectively.

Genesis GV90 powertrain details

Producing 544hp and 800Nm, it is the most powerful EV for the Hyundai group yet

The Genesis GV90 eSUV is offered with a 123.5kWh battery, the biggest ever for the larger Hyundai group, which offers around 500km range (as per the manufacturer’s internal testing). The battery powers dual electric motors, which deliver a combined output of 544hp and 800Nm, the most of any EV in the larger Hyundai group. The battery pack can be charged from 10-80 percent in 22 minutes using a 350kW DC fast charger. 

Each motor of the GV90 gets its own e-LSD (limited-slip differential), another first for the Hyundai group, through which “power is efficiently supplied to all four wheels during high-speed cornering for agile handling”. It also enhances the EV’s grip on snowy, rainy or uneven roads. The GV90 also gets multi-chamber air suspension that adjusts ride height to road conditions, and dual-valve adaptive dampers that soften or stiffen for a pliant ride in all situations. The EV gets rear-axle steering, enabling the rear wheels to turn up to five degrees.

The GV90 also introduces a new power control system for the Hyundai group. This system starts the EV as soon as the passenger pulls a door handle and moves the column-mounted drive selector from the 12 o'clock to the 2 o'clock position when the door closes automatically, keeping the EV ready for drive mode selection.
