Reports out of Korea point to Genesis developing a full-size SUV powered solely by batteries.
ETNews (via The Korean Car Blog) reported on Tuesday that Genesis plans to launch an electric SUV positioned above the mid-size GV80. It will reportedly be Genesis’ second dedicated EV, after the 2023 GV60 small crossover.
The vehicle is reportedly due in 2023 and is being referred to as the GV90, though that name has not yet been confirmed. However, a search of the United States Patent and Trademark Office reveals that Hyundai Motor Group made moves to protect the name as early as 2015.
Fellow HMG brands Hyundai and Kia both unveiled large electric SUV concepts in November at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show. Hyundai’s concept, the Seven, is set to spawn a production model, likely dubbed the Ioniq 7, in 2024. Kia’s concept went by the name Concept EV9, and should spawn its own EV9 production model around 2024 as well.
