Genesis GV90 Flagship Electric SUV Patented In India Ahead Of 2027 Brand Debut

GaadiWaadi -

Hyundai’s luxury marque is preparing to enter India next year, and the GV90 could be one of the models considered for the market

Hyundai’s plans to bring its luxury brand Genesis to India are beginning to take shape. The company’s flagship electric SUV, the GV90, has now been patented in India, ahead of the brand’s planned market entry in 2027. The patent filing is an interesting development, especially considering the GV90 sits right at the top of Genesis’ global line-up.

However, it is worth pointing out that registering a design in India does not necessarily mean the manufacturer intends to launch the vehicle here. Hyundai has yet to confirm which Genesis models will be part of its Indian portfolio. The design patent appears to be for the standard GV90, which is expected to feature conventional doors and a three-row cabin. Genesis also showcased the more exclusive Neolun version, with rear-hinged doors and a more bespoke interior.

At 5,285 mm long, 2,030 mm wide and 1,825 mm tall, the GV90 is a substantial SUV. It has a 3,245 mm wheelbase and 224 mm of ground clearance. The exterior follows Genesis’ distinctive design language, with a wide, V-shaped LED lighting signature at the front, clean body surfaces, and full-width tail lamps. Alloy wheel sizes go up to 22 inches on the standard model.

The GV90’s cabin is expected to be one of its biggest selling points. International specifications include a large OLED infotainment display that can extend to 24.6 inches, a 25-inch head-up display and a 25-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system. Other expected features include heated, ventilated and massaging seats, rear-wheel steering and a roof-integrated airbag system. The latter is particularly unusual, with Genesis describing it as a world-first safety feature designed to help protect occupants in a rollover.

The GV90 is built on Hyundai Motor Group’s high-voltage eM platform and gets a 123.5 kWh battery pack. The international-spec SUV uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup and claims a driving range of around 500 km. It supports DC fast charging at up to 350 kW, with a claimed 10-80 per cent charging time of approximately 22 minutes.

These figures are based on international specifications. Final powertrain details and certification figures for any potential Indian version are not available. Genesis has confirmed its intention to enter India in 2027, but has not announced its initial model line-up. The GV90’s patent filing makes it a possible candidate, although it is too early to call it a confirmed India-bound model.
