There is great news for the EV market, renowned EV automaker Genesis is preparing to launch its ultra-luxury electric SUV GV90. The first prototype of the luxury electric SUV was caught near Hyundai’s facility. Let’s know more about the flagship SUV.
We have already read that Genesis introduced the Neolun concept in March, which was the preview of the automaker’s upcoming full-size SUV. The upcoming SUV will serve as a tech beacon as Genesis looks to move upward, challenging the ultra-luxury brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
This concept features a “reductive design,” which gives it a clean, minimalist look. One of the standout features is the connected two-tone headlamp in the shape of the iconic Genesis crest grille. It also included coach doors. With the B-pillars removed, the electric SUV has that smooth, premium look.
The interior of the electric SUV fits for royalty. It has an adjustable massive 24.6-inches infotainment screen integrated into the dash. Genesis also included an “Ondol” heating system based on the Korean underfloor heating method. Genesis says it will help improve heating efficiency while providing a lounge-like experience.
According to TheKoreanCarBlog, the first prototypes have already been spotted outside Hyundai’s R&D facility in Korea. Also the reports from Korea surfaced this summer claiming that the first GV90 prototypes would be built in October.
Genesis is also preparing to launch two models, a Standard and an Exclusive trim. The Standard model will get standard doors, but the Exclusive trim is expected to retain the coach doors from the concept.
The Exclusive model will be limited to just a few units as Genesis looks to move up the luxury ranks. It’s expected to rival the top-selling larger luxury SUVs like the Mercedes Benz GLS-Class and Bentley Bentayga.
According to the report, Genesis is finishing production prototype development after overcoming issues with the coach door. Hyundai’s R&D facility reportedly solved the problem, and GV90 prototypes are ready to be tested on public roads.
