Genesis has unveiled the GV90, a full-size electric SUV with 490 kW, a 123.5 kWh battery and pillarless coach doors on the Neolun version. It goes on sale in the United States early next year, and the announcement says nothing about Europe.
Genesis has revealed the biggest and most expensive thing it has ever built. The GV90 is a full-size electric SUV with 490 kilowatts, 800 Newton metres and a 123.5 kWh battery, shown in San Francisco on Wednesday.
The engineering is not modest. Genesis quotes around 500 km of range from its own testing, a 10 to 80% charge in 22 minutes on a 350 kW charger, air suspension and rear-wheel steering.
The showpiece is the doors. The Neolun version has coach doors and no B-pillar, which the company says required a new body structure to keep crash performance intact.
Where it goes on sale is the more revealing detail. The GV90 will be built at a new plant in Ulsan and reaches American showrooms early next year, taking the brand’s US range to seven cars.
