Genesis has unveiled the 2027 [1] GV90 Neolun, an electric flagship SUV featuring coach doors and a B-pillar-less design.
The reveal marks a strategic move by the luxury arm of Hyundai Motor Group to challenge ultra-luxury automotive brands. By integrating high-end architectural elements typically reserved for bespoke vehicles, Genesis aims to redefine its position in the global electric vehicle market.
The GV90 Neolun is powered by a powertrain delivering 657 hp [1]. This performance is paired with a suite of interior luxury features designed for passenger comfort, including swiveling seats and a motorized shifter.
Design highlights include the implementation of Rolls-Royce-style coach doors, which allow for a wider and more seamless entry into the cabin. The interior utilizes cashmere and stone trim to emphasize a premium aesthetic, a direction the brand is using to differentiate the GV90 from its existing lineup.
Additional luxury appointments include a heated wood-floor interior. Safety is addressed through the inclusion of a full-roof airbag, providing comprehensive protection for all occupants in the cabin.
Revealed in Seoul, South Korea, the vehicle serves as a precursor to a preview at the New York Auto Show. The GV90 Neolun carries a 2027 [1] model year designation and is slated for a broader debut this month.

The introduction of the GV90 Neolun signals Genesis' transition from a traditional luxury competitor to a challenger of the 'ultra-luxury' tier. By adopting coach doors and high-concept materials, the brand is moving beyond standard EV specifications to compete on the basis of prestige and craftsmanship, targeting a demographic that prioritizes exclusivity over utility.
