Genesis’ GV90 NeoLun is a luxury electric SUV with heated floors and coach doors
Genesis, Hyundai's luxury car arm, has unveiled the GV90 NeoLun, an electric SUV distinguished chiefly by an innovative "coach door" design rather than its powertrain. A "dual-motion hinge" slides the rear door outward before rotating it open, allowing front and rear doors to operate independently while maintaining side-impact safety through reinforced steel beams and a strengthened cabin frame. This solves the traditional problem of rear-hinged "suicide doors" being unsafe or awkward to use, giving the GV90 NeoLun a distinctive and highly practical cabin entry system.
The SUV rides on Genesis's new eMP platform and features a 123.5 kWh battery, the largest ever fitted to a Hyundai Motor Group vehicle, offering 311 miles of range and 10-80% charging in around 22 minutes on a 350kW charger. Its twin-motor setup produces 657 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, while the cabin includes a 23.6-inch "Cinematic Display", a 25-inch head-up display, a 25-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system with virtual venue acoustics, heated floors, massage seats and flip-around front seats for "Orient Express" style seating. Genesis has yet to release the vehicle's weight or acceleration figures.

Its unusual doors and elaborate cabin are designed to make getting in and travelling more comfortable. The model also uses a large battery and a platform developed for electric vehicles; charging speed and driving range help explain how practical it may be for longer journeys.
The GV90 NeoLun matters as a sign of how carmakers are adding distinctive design and comfort features to compete in the luxury electric-car market. Its size, technology and premium fittings place it in a part of that market aimed at buyers seeking more than basic transport.
