Genesis, Hyundai’s premium automotive brand, has quickly gained global recognition for delivering design excellence, advanced technology, and refined performance. Now, with the upcoming 2026 Genesis GV90, the brand takes a bold step into the future of luxury electric mobility. As Genesis’ new all-electric flagship SUV, the GV90 aims to compete directly with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, BMW iX, and Tesla Model X — but with a distinctly Korean approach to luxury and innovation.
Built on Hyundai Motor Group’s advanced eM electric platform, the GV90 will offer enhanced modularity, greater range, and next-generation battery performance. Expected to feature a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, the GV90 is rumored to produce up to 500 horsepower, delivering strong yet silent acceleration. With a 0 to 100 km/h time estimated around 4.5 seconds, it balances luxury and dynamic capability with ease.
Range is also a priority. Genesis engineers are targeting a 600+ km range on a single charge, thanks to ultra-efficient battery chemistry and aerodynamic refinement. The GV90 will support ultra-fast charging via an 800V architecture, allowing drivers to recover over 300 km of range in under 20 minutes. A built-in Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) system will also let owners power electronic devices or even charge other EVs.
The GV90’s design language will reflect Genesis’ signature aesthetic — Athletic Elegance — interpreted on a larger, more commanding canvas. Expect a sleek, coupe-like silhouette with smooth body surfacing, a reimagined Crest Grille (now fully enclosed), and ultra-slim Two-Line LED headlights. Massive alloy wheels, flush door handles, and a panoramic glass roof will complete its futuristic yet sophisticated appearance.
Inside, the GV90 will deliver a sanctuary of calm and connectivity. A key focus is “Mindful Minimalism”, with a spacious, open cabin enhanced by sustainable materials like recycled textiles, vegan leather, and responsibly sourced wood. The interior will include a massive curved display, blending the digital gauge cluster with a high-definition infotainment system. Ambient lighting, customizable climate zones, and even a digital scent diffuser will create a truly immersive in-cabin experience.
As a flagship, the GV90 will also debut Genesis’ latest advancements in autonomous driving. Using a blend of LiDAR, radar, and camera systems, the SUV is expected to offer Level 3 semi-autonomous driving on highways, along with intelligent parking, lane centering, and adaptive cruise functionalities. Over-the-air (OTA) updates will ensure the GV90 stays up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.
Genesis is positioning the GV90 not just as a premium electric SUV, but as a technological and design statement. With the GV60 and Electrified GV70 already gaining traction, the GV90 will serve as a halo product that elevates the entire brand’s prestige. It combines the quiet confidence of Korean craftsmanship with global luxury benchmarks, offering a compelling alternative to traditional European powerhouses.
The 2026 Genesis GV90 will redefine what it means to drive — or be driven — in a full-size electric SUV. Stylish, smart, and sustainable, it’s a preview of luxury’s next era.
