Unlike the E-GMP platform used in Ioniq and Kia EV series, the GV90 adopts the advanced eM platform, exclusively designed for large electric SUVs.
With no internal combustion engine variant, it will feature rear-wheel steering, air suspension, Level 3 autonomous driving, and the latest OS-based infotainment system. In short, the GV90 represents the pinnacle of Genesis engineering.


2. Massive Battery and 800km Driving Range

The GV90 will likely carry a 100–110kWh high-capacity battery supplied by Samsung SDI or SK On.
Genesis is targeting an EPA-certified range of up to 800km, making it one of the longest-range electric SUVs in the world.
Power output will start from 500hp with dual-motor AWD and could reach over 600hp for performance variants, positioning the GV90 as both a luxury family hauler and a high-performance flagship SUV.


3. Design: Grandeur Meets Prestige

The GV90 will stay true to Genesis design DNA, with its signature two-line lamps and crest grille, while amplifying the imposing presence of a full-size SUV.
Inside, expect wide digital displays, augmented reality navigation, captain’s chairs in the second row, and a wide range of premium materials.
Rumors even suggest the possibility of Rolls-Royce-style coach doors (suicide doors) as an option, though mass-market practicality may keep standard doors as the main choice.


4. Size, Price, and Global Competition

Bigger than both the Ioniq 9 and Hyundai Palisade, the GV90 is aimed squarely at the Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW X7, and Range Rover.
In Korea, pricing is expected to start around ₩130 million (approx. $95,000–100,000 USD).
The launch roadmap is also aggressive: Korea in February 2026, Europe in April, and North America in June, signaling Genesis’s bold step into the ultra-luxury EV market.
