Hyundai Motor Group’s luxury brand Genesis is launching a new electric SUV with more than 300 miles of estimated range and a cabin packed with technology.
The new GV90 is expected to travel about 310 miles on a full charge. Genesis says its battery can charge from 10% to 80% in about 22 minutes when using a 350-kilowatt fast charger, according to a Wednesday announcement from the brand.
“Our new flagship SUV represents our vision for the future while embodying the very best of Genesis, staying true to the distinctly Korean values of hospitality and craftmanship that have shaped our journey,” José Muñoz, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company, said in a statement.
The SUV will be offered in standard and Neolun versions.

The standard GV90 features traditional doors, while the Neolun model uses coach-style doors that open in opposite directions.
The design creates a wider opening, which Genesis says makes it easier for passengers to get in and out of the vehicle.
Safety features include 12 airbags, with a new roof airbag designed to deploy across the glass roof during severe rollover crashes.
The SUV also includes reinforced structural components, enhanced battery safety and an in-cabin monitoring system, according to Genesis.

Inside the vehicle, the GV90 comes with a pop-up OLED cinematic display, a 25-inch head-up display, Hyundai Motor Group’s Pleos Connect “infotainment” system and a generative AI assistant called Gleo AI.
It also features a 25-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D audio system.
The Neolun version adds motorized front seats that can rotate 180 degrees while the SUV is parked.
“Occupants can now engage in a face-to-face lounge-like configuration, ideal for socializing or conducting business,” as noted in the announcement.

Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung described the GV90 as a “new vision for luxury mobility.”
“Technology alone does not create luxury, and design alone does not define luxury,” Chung said. “The value of innovation lies in transforming the customer experience in intelligent and intuitive ways to improve people’s lives.”
Hyundai Motor Group did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ request for details on when the GV90 will go on sale.
