Genesis GV90 is the brand’s first full-size flagship SUV, and it is electric. Genesis unveiled the GV90 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco on August 19. The GV90 Neolun trim adds the Neolun Arch Gate, coach doors with a hidden B-pillar. A standard GV90 keeps conventional swing doors. Engadget only flagged the same newsroom post.
Neolun Arch Gate and the missing B-pillar
Genesis calls the Arch Gate the world’s first independently opening and closing hidden B-pillar coach doors. Front and rear doors can open together and face each other. Therefore rear passengers get a wider step-in than a normal SUV. A dual-motion hinge slides the rear door out, then rotates it open, so it does not block the front door.
However, safety still sits in the structure. Genesis marries the doors to the body and adds high-strength dual steel beams where a B-pillar would sit. Also, a thicker cabin frame plus steel tubes and foam act as a hidden roll cage. The GV90 packs 12 airbags, including what Genesis calls the world’s first Roof Airbag for rollover events. In addition, dual-depth passenger airbags and an in-cabin monitor adjust protection to who is sitting where.
eMP platform, battery, and how it drives
The GV90 sits on Genesis’ eMP flagship platform, with a 3245-millimeter wheelbase and a 5285-millimeter body. Indeed, the pack is a 123 point 5 kilowatt-hour high-voltage battery, the largest in Hyundai Motor Group’s EV lineup. Genesis quotes about 500 kilometers of range on a seven-seat GV90 from internal tests, not a certified cycle. Still, a 350-kilowatt charger can take it from 10 percent to 80 percent in 22 minutes. Thermal Runaway Protection separates cells so heat does not jump pack-to-pack. A cloud battery system can warn the driver if it sees an anomaly.
Front and rear motors combine for 490 kilowatts and 800 Newton-meters. Specifically, dual electronic limited-slip diffs sit on both axles, a Hyundai Motor Group first. Then multi-chamber air springs change stiffness and ride height. Rear-wheel steering turns up to five degrees, which Genesis says cuts the turning radius to mid-size-car scale. Cast aluminum underbody parts cut weight while raising rigidity. Large front four-piston calipers and acoustic glass thicker than five millimeters aim at flagship quiet. Meanwhile TMM already covered GM’s 2027 Supercharger plan for a different luxury EV fleet.
Cabin, First Edition, and the 2027 window
A pop-up OLED Cinematic Display runs 23.6 inches while driving and rises to 24.6 inches when parked. As a result, drivers get a 25-inch head-up display instead of a cluster. Pleos Connect, built on Android Automotive, can load apps. Gleo AI is the in-car agent. Remote Smart Parking Assist 3 can park with one tap. For example, Bang and Olufsen’s Premier 3D system uses 25 speakers and Dolby Atmos, with Virtual Venue recreations of Boston Symphony Hall and Wembley Stadium. The New Power Control System drops the start button: pulling the handle wakes the car, and the brake pedal starts it.
Parked, motorized front seats on the Neolun can swivel 180 degrees for a face-to-face lounge. The Neolun Executive Suite four-seat layout adds a real wood veneer floor with radiant heat inspired by Korean ondol, a comfort partition, roll blinds, and a Smart Vision Roof with six independently dimmable zones. A metal-coated heated windshield can melt frost without blasting the climate system. The limited Neolun First Edition piles on two-tone paint, body-color 24-inch forged wheels, and wool cashmere garnishes. Genesis lists 16 exterior colors. Genesis Motor America’s GV90 page says the lineup is arriving early 2027. Pricing is still unlisted. Instead, TMM’s recent Kia EV3 US price sits at the other end of the same group’s electric SUV ladder.
