Battery Specifications, Range, and Performance
The Genesis GV90 is equipped with a 123.5 kWh battery pack, which is the largest within the Hyundai Motor Group electric vehicle lineup. The 7-seater Standard model equipped with 22-inch wheels delivers a driving range of up to 500 km (310 miles). The 6-seater Neolun variant featuring 24-inch wheels offers a driving range of up to 460 km (286 miles) on a single charge.
Performance is driven by a new dual-motor all-wheel-drive system generating a combined 657 hp (490 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. For charging, the vehicle supports 350 kW fast chargers, capable of replenishing the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 22 minutes.
Dimensions and Interior Features
As a full-size SUV, the GV90 measures 208.1 inches (5,285 mm) in length, 79.9 inches (2,030 mm) in width, and 71.5 inches (1,815 mm) in height, featuring a 127.8-inch (3,245 mm) wheelbase. The interior features a multi-chamber air suspension, a dual electronic limited-slip differential, swiveling front seats that rotate 180 degrees when parked, and a 25-speaker Bang & Olufsen Premier 3D Sound System with Dolby Atmos.
The cabin also introduces the Pleos Connect infotainment system with an expandable 24.6-inch cinematic display, alongside a 25-inch Head-Up Display replacing the traditional instrument cluster.
Practical Takeaway
Following its South Korean market introduction, the Genesis GV90 is slated for a broader global rollout, including the United States, in early 2027. European buyers tracking the upper tier of the luxury electric vehicle market will find the eMP platform’s high-capacity 123.5 kWh battery and ultra-fast charging capabilities noteworthy benchmarks as regional availability details emerge.
