Electric vehicles aren’t just the future anymore — they’re the now. And Genesis, Hyundai’s luxury arm, seems ready to take that idea and run with it. Their upcoming Genesis GV90 Electric SUV is not just another electric SUV — it’s shaping up to be the flagship, the big boss, the top-tier blend of technology, elegance, and, well, attitude.
Sure, we don’t have the full official release yet. But between patent filings, spy shots, and good ol’ industry rumors, there’s plenty to get excited about. Genesis isn’t just tossing another EV into the ring; they’re coming in hot with something bold. Something luxurious. And something very electric.
A New Chapter in the EV Story
The GV90 isn’t a retrofit or a half-hearted conversion. Nope. This one’s being built from the ground up as a true electric SUV. No gas-powered sibling lurking in the shadows. This car is likely to use the same E-GMP platform which is present in the Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia EV9 and Genesis GV60 and if you have driven or already been in any of those, you would agree that that is a positive point, right?
What does that mean in real life? Better battery placement, better balance, longer range, and faster charging. More space inside too. Basically, all the stuff that makes a luxury SUV feel, well… luxurious.
A Design That Turns Heads (and Then Some)
Genesis doesn’t do boring. Ever. And the GV90? It’s going to be a looker. Early renders and test mules suggest it’ll rock the brand’s signature “Two-Line” LED headlamps, a reimagined crest grille that says “electric” but still screams “class,” and a silhouette that blends boldness with grace.
Big wheels. Flush door handles. Smooth panels. Expect a long wheelbase and a wide stance that gives it a strong presence — something that commands attention without yelling. And don’t be surprised if you find yourself giving it a second (or third) look when it passes by.
It’s not just about looking good, either. It’s about feeling good too.
Inside: Peace, Tech, and a Bit of Magic
Step into the GV90 (when it finally lands), and you’ll probably let out a quiet “whoa.” Genesis interiors are already known for their calming vibe — a kind of Korean minimalism that makes you exhale a little. They call it “the beauty of white space,” and honestly? It works.
Early leaks hint at three rows of seats, meaning this thing isn’t just for looking good in traffic. It’s practical too. The cabin will likely be loaded with eco-friendly materials — think recycled plastics, bio-leather, and natural fibers. But don’t worry, it won’t feel cheap. Genesis knows how to do premium right.
Expect a massive curved display, soft-touch everything, and tech so seamless you won’t even notice it’s there until you need it. Oh, and ambient lighting? You bet.
Power That Doesn’t Compromise
Okay, let’s talk performance — because even luxury buyers care about what’s under the hood (or under the floor, in this case).
The GV90 is expected to come with dual motors and all-wheel drive. Maybe over 400 horsepower, maybe even more in a performance variant. There are whispers of a “Sport” trim, which would go head-to-head with the Tesla Model X Plaid or Audi e-tron S.
And thanks to that 800-volt architecture, it should charge ridiculously fast — something like 10% to 80% in under 20 minutes if you find a good fast charger. That’s coffee break fast.
Range? Nothing official yet, but it’s probably going to hover around 300 to 330 miles. Long enough for weekend trips, daily commutes, and pretty much everything in between.
Tech That Thinks for You
Genesis doesn’t mess around when it comes to driver-assist tech. The GV90 will likely come loaded with everything you could ask for — and then some. Expect stuff like:
- Highway Driving Assist 2
- Remote Smart Parking Assist (because yes, your car should park itself)
- Blind-Spot View Monitor
- Augmented reality head-up display
- And maybe even Level 3 autonomy if regulations allow
On top of that, over-the-air updates will keep things fresh. So even after a year or two, your SUV will still be getting smarter.
And the sound system? We’re guessing either Lexicon or Bang & Olufsen. Either way, you’re in for a treat.
Built for the Earth, Not Just the Road
Here’s something that doesn’t get talked about enough: Genesis is serious about sustainability. Like, really serious. The GV90 will probably feature a mix of sustainable materials, energy-efficient production, and low-impact paint processes.
It’s part of Genesis’s bigger goal to be carbon neutral by 2035. So yeah — this SUV isn’t just about flexing; it’s about responsibility, too.
When Can You Get One?
At this time, we can basically be sure that the launch will not happen before 2025 seems to be a bit optimistic. Maybe a concept reveal before that. Pricing? Expect a base model around $80,000, with high-end trims climbing above $100K — especially if you go all-in on performance and luxury.
That puts it up against some heavy hitters: BMW iX, Mercedes EQS SUV, and Tesla Model X. But honestly? The GV90 might just hold its own.
So, Should You Be Excited?
Short answer? Yes.
Long answer? Absolutely.
The Genesis GV90 Electric SUV isn’t just another luxury EV. It’s a statement. It says that Korean design and engineering have matured — and now they’re ready to lead.
If Genesis can deliver on the promise (and let’s be real, they probably will), the GV90 could become the most impressive electric SUV in its class.
Whether you’re already in the EV camp or just EV-curious, this one’s worth keeping an eye on. Or two. You know, just to be safe.
