Genesis’ New GV90 Goes After BMW Money With Rolls-Royce Tricks

 

 

The GV90 will be offered in two versions: the conventional GV90 and the fancier GV90 Neolun. The latter gets Genesis' new Neolun Arch Gate, which replaces the traditional B-pillar with a hidden structural design and independently opening coach-style doors.

 

The cabin is packed with technology, too. A 23.6-inch OLED display serves as the main instrument and infotainment screen while driving. When parked, it rises by 90.0 millimeters to create a larger 24.6-inch display for watching content. There's also a massive 25.0-inch head-up display in place of a conventional instrument cluster.

 

The four-seat GV90 Neolun Executive Suite takes things up a notch with a wood-veneer floor—yes, real wood—in the second row with radiant heating, a privacy partition, roll-up shades, a refrigerator, and a six-zone Smart Vision Roof that can adjust its transparency.

 

 

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 fitted to a Hyundai Motor Group EV to date.

Genesis estimates the seven-seat GV90 will travel approximately 500 kilometers, or about 311 miles in the US, on a single charge. A 350-kilowatt DC fast charger can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in a claimed 22 minutes.

Power comes from front and rear electric motors producing a combined 657 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque.

I never thought the concept looked particularly good, and likewise don't really love how the production model looks either (basically the same), but I do give them credit for actually showing concepts and putting them into production.  And also for really pushing to expand Genesis.  Meanwhile, Ford has to take 15 years to think about adding a model at Lincoln, while cancelling another to add it.

 

I personally don't really see the purpose of the chairs flipping backward, but it's cool I guess!  lol

If genesis can keep the costs to a comparable amount and sales are good, I hope it puts pressure on lincoln to actually try with the lincoln navigator.  Theres so many weird omissions and notable development quirks with the current version, that no matter how beautiful it is, makes you scratch your head with how much they are pricing it for.  Genesis threw the kitchen sink, and luxury duv buyers are going to eat this thing up if priced right.

Except it's also an EV, so it has to overcome that factor.

Hey...Ford did it in 1978 in a Mustang II Cobra II for the 1984 hit movie Starman...

Forgot that in the movie, only seen it when I was a teenager when it first came out. I do remember the running the traffic light scene though! :lol2:

Aesthetically, I like most everything about this, except the center screen. Not a fan of that.  It has a lot of cool features, but I think it’s still an uphill battle for an EV, plus the range is mediocre. I do like the coach doors.  It’s a nice touch.
