Genesis launches its first large electric SUV, the GV90, in South Korea

Genesis has launched the GV90 electric SUV in South Korea under its luxury brand.

The GV90 is Genesis’s first large flagship electric SUV, and the Neolun is a version with doors that open in opposite directions.

The standard GV90 starts at 139.5 million won, while the Neolun starts at 189.9 million won for six seats and costs 239.5 million won for four.

Both versions use a 123.5-kilowatt-hour battery, the largest in Hyundai Motor Group’s electric vehicle range.

Depending on the version, the stated driving range is 460 to 500 kilometres on one charge.

The Neolun’s unusual doors and high price make it a standout launch; one Korean outlet described it as the country’s most expensive domestically made car.

Genesis revealed the GV90 in San Francisco in August, and South Korea is the first market where it is being sold.
