Genesis to launch new GV80 luxury electric SUV
Genesis is getting ready to build the new electric GV80 in the second quarter of 2026, following the start of production of its flagship GV90 (previewed in the Neolun Concept), which is scheduled for the first half of next year.
According to Genesis, the GV90 features“innovation that exceeds conventional standards.” In other words, Genesis looks to take on luxury rivals like Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, and Rivian. The GV90 will be the first Genesis to use Hyunda’s next-gen “eM” platform. The new platform is expected to cut costs by 20% while boosting range, charging, and efficiency. Genesis is upping the competition with plans to launch another electric SUV. The new Genesis GV80 will be a purely electric mid-size electric SUV.
According to TheKoreanCarBlog, Hyundai’s eM platform will offer up to 113.2 kWh batteries, boosting range to around 700 to 800 km (435 to 497 mi).
