Genesis GV90 Revealed: The 657-HP Electric SUV Shaking Up Ultra-Luxury

The 2028 Genesis GV90 is the brand's new full-size flagship electric SUV, combining a 123.5-kWh battery with dual electric motors producing up to 657 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. Genesis estimates around 500 km (310 miles) of range for the seven-seat GV90 based on internal R&D testing, while a compatible 350-kW DC fast charger can take the battery from 10% to 80% in about 22 minutes. The standout model is the GV90 Neolun, which adds Genesis' hidden B-pillar Neolun Arch Gate coach doors, while the top Neolun First Edition adds a four-seat luxury cabin with features such as a refrigerator and heated wood flooring. Genesis USA currently lists the 2028 GV90 as arriving in early 2027.

What Is the 2028 Genesis GV90?

The GV90 is Genesis' first full-size flagship SUV and sits above the brand's existing SUV lineup. More importantly, it is designed to establish Genesis in the same ultra-luxury space occupied by vehicles such as the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV and other high-end electric SUVs.

Genesis developed the GV90 on its eMP (Electric Mobility Prime) platform, an architecture created specifically for its flagship EV. The platform allows Genesis to use a long wheelbase and flat cabin floor to maximize interior space.

In the U.S., Genesis is explicitly calling it the 2028 GV90. The company currently presents three expressions of the model:

• GV90: Standard three-row model with conventional doors
• GV90 Neolun: Adds the hidden B-pillar Neolun Arch Gate
• GV90 Neolun First Edition: The most exclusive version with a four-seat Executive Suite

The standard GV90 is designed around three-row versatility, while the Neolun versions focus more heavily on rear-seat luxury and lounge-style travel.

GV90 Battery, Range and Performance

The GV90 gets one of the largest batteries currently offered by Hyundai Motor Group.

Genesis says the front motor produces 240 kW and 350 Nm, while the rear motor produces 250 kW and 450 Nm. Together, they deliver a maximum 490 kW (657 hp) and 800 Nm.

The GV90 also uses Dual E-LSDs, or electronic limited-slip differentials, on the front and rear axles. In simple terms, they help manage torque distribution and improve traction and handling when the large SUV is accelerating or cornering.

How fast does the GV90 charge?

Genesis says a 350-kW DC fast charger can take the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 22 minutes.

That's particularly notable because the GV90's 123.5-kWh battery is significantly larger than the packs found in many mainstream EVs.

The important caveat is that charging times depend on the charger, battery temperature, state of charge and other conditions. The 22-minute figure should therefore be treated as Genesis' stated charging performance rather than a guarantee at every charging station.

GV90 Dimensions and Chassis

Close

The GV90 is a genuinely large SUV.

It measures:

• 5,285 mm (208.1 inches) long
• 2,030 mm (79.9 inches) wide
• Up to 1,825 mm (71.9 inches) tall with 24-inch tires
• 3,245 mm (127.8 inches) wheelbase

The long wheelbase is important because Genesis isn't simply using the GV90's size for visual presence. It provides the packaging space needed for a spacious three-row cabin and the lounge-style interior of the Neolun.

The SUV also gets multi-chamber air suspension, which can adjust the ride height and is designed to deliver the kind of isolated ride expected from a flagship luxury vehicle. Genesis USA says the suspension can also be lowered to make entering the vehicle easier.

What Is the Neolun Arch Gate?

The most talked-about feature of the GV90 is not its battery or horsepower. It's the doors.

The GV90 Neolun introduces what Genesis calls the Neolun Arch Gate. It is a hidden-B-pillar coach-door system that allows the front and rear doors to open independently while creating a large, uninterrupted entry area.

Unlike conventional coach doors, Genesis has engineered the structure so the vehicle doesn't rely on a visible central B-pillar.

That presented a major structural challenge.

Genesis says it uses an aluminum frame, high-strength structural components and an impact-absorbing structure to increase rigidity while keeping weight under control. The company has also developed a concealed structural system around the cabin.

The roof airbag is another GV90 first

Genesis says the GV90 features the world's first roof airbag.

The system forms part of the SUV's 12-airbag safety system and is designed to deploy across the roof area during severe rollover situations.

This is particularly relevant to the Neolun because removing the traditional visible B-pillar creates a different structural challenge from a conventional SUV. Genesis says its reinforced architecture is designed to provide the necessary occupant protection.

The important distinction is that this is Genesis' engineering and safety claim; independent crash-test results should be considered separately once official testing is available.

Inside the 2028 Genesis GV90

Genesis has taken a different approach to the GV90 cabin.

Instead of filling the dashboard with conventional displays, the SUV uses a combination of large digital screens, physical controls and luxury materials.

One of the key features is the 25-inch head-up display, which provides driver information without requiring a traditional instrument cluster directly in front of the steering wheel.

The cabin also features a large OLED display that can expand when the vehicle is parked. Genesis USA lists a 24.6-inch display among the GV90's technology features.

The interior can also include:

• Front massage seats
• Second-row captain's chairs
• Nappa leather
• Poplar wood trim
• Fine textile materials
• Four-zone climate control
• Bang & Olufsen 3D surround sound
• Ambient lighting
• Multiple personalized cabin routines

The result is less like a conventional three-row SUV and more like a luxury lounge on wheels.

180-Degree Rotating Front Seats

One of the GV90's most unusual interior features is the ability for the front seats to rotate 180 degrees while the vehicle is parked.

That means the front occupants can turn toward passengers in the second row and create a face-to-face seating arrangement.

Genesis says this is designed for socializing or conducting business while stationary.

This feature is also a good example of how Genesis is approaching the GV90 differently from many luxury SUVs.

The focus isn't only on making the vehicle comfortable while driving. It is also designed around what passengers can do while the vehicle is stopped.

GV90 Neolun First Edition: The VIP Version

If the standard GV90 is a luxury three-row SUV, the Neolun First Edition is closer to a private lounge.

The First Edition uses a four-seat layout and focuses heavily on rear passenger comfort.

Genesis USA highlights features including:

• Neolun Arch Gate coach doors
• Private refreshment refrigerator
• Genuine wood flooring
• Radiant floor heating
• Luxury rear seating
• Lounge-style interior

The heated wood floor is particularly interesting because Genesis says the design draws inspiration from Korean ondol heating, connecting the vehicle's technology with traditional Korean hospitality.

That gives the GV90 something many luxury EVs lack: a distinctive design philosophy rather than simply a long list of expensive equipment.

2028 Genesis GV90 vs. Luxury EV Rivals

The GV90 enters an increasingly competitive full-size luxury EV market.

The GV90's biggest differentiator isn't simply horsepower.

It is the combination of full-size proportions, Korean luxury design, coach doors, rotating seats and a highly focused passenger experience.

That could make the GV90 particularly interesting for buyers who want something more distinctive than another large luxury EV.

2028 Genesis GV90 Price

Genesis has not announced official U.S. pricing for the GV90 yet.

That means claims that the SUV will definitely start at $100,000—or that top versions will cost a specific amount—should be treated as estimates rather than confirmed prices.

For context, the existing Genesis G90 flagship sedan starts at $92,700 in the U.S., but that does not establish the GV90's eventual MSRP.

The GV90's larger size, electric powertrain and flagship positioning suggest that it will sit toward the top of Genesis' pricing structure, but the final MSRP should be confirmed by Genesis before making a purchase decision.

2028 Genesis GV90 Release Date

Genesis USA currently lists the 2028 GV90 as arriving in early 2027.

That may sound unusual for a vehicle carrying a 2028 model-year designation, but automakers frequently launch future model-year vehicles before the calendar year begins.

Market-specific availability can differ, so buyers outside the U.S. should wait for their local Genesis announcement rather than assuming the American timeline applies globally.

Pros and Cons of the 2028 Genesis GV90

Pros

• 657-hp dual-motor powertrain
• Large 123.5-kWh battery
• Around 310 miles of claimed range
• 350-kW fast charging
• 10–80% charging in about 22 minutes
• Available B-pillarless coach doors
• 180-degree rotating front seats
• Highly luxurious four-seat Neolun configuration
• Three-row practicality in the standard GV90
• Distinctive Korean luxury design

Cons

• Official U.S. pricing has not been announced
• Real-world range may differ from Genesis' internal testing figure

• Neolun's complex door system could make the vehicle more expensive and mechanically complicated
• Some of the most interesting features are limited to higher-end configurations

Final Takeaway

The 2028 Genesis GV90 is more than Genesis' first full-size electric SUV. It is the company's attempt to redefine what a flagship luxury EV can be.

The numbers are impressive—a 123.5-kWh battery, 657 hp, 800 Nm of torque, around 310 miles of estimated range and 22-minute 10–80% charging—but the GV90's identity comes from its cabin and engineering.

The Neolun's hidden B-pillar coach doors, 180-degree rotating seats and four-seat First Edition push it into territory normally associated with much more expensive luxury vehicles.

The biggest unanswered question is now price. Genesis has confirmed the vehicle and its major technology, but U.S. MSRP details are still pending. Genesis USA currently says the 2028 GV90 is arriving early 2027.

If Genesis can deliver the GV90's technology, refinement and unusual luxury features at a competitive price, it could become one of the most distinctive flagship electric SUVs on the market.
