Here’s our first look at the Genesis GV90 with coach doors: The next ultra-luxe EV
Genesis is preparing to launch its flagship electric SUV, the GV90. It will be the largest, most luxurious Genesis vehicle yet, loaded with advanced tech, premium features, and Genesis’ signature design. The Genesis GV90 will even feature Rolls Royce-like coach doors, which were spotted for the first time in public on a production model. Check it out below.
Genesis GV90 spotted with coach doors for the first time
The flagship GV90 is starting to appear in public ahead of its expected debut later this year. Genesis previewed the full-size electric SUV with the stunning Neolun concept revealed last March.
Genesis designed the concept around Korean minimalist aesthetics “to create an ultra-luxe vision of luxury SUVs.” It features a reductive design with smooth character lines inspired by Korea’s iconic moon-shaped porcelain jars.
Signature Genesis design elements, like the two-line LED headlamps, now stretch across the front, forming the Crest grille and the side repeaters. The rear features a similar look.
The full-size electric SUV will serve as a tech beacon as the luxury brand upscales into new segments. Inside, the GV90 will include a massive 24.6″ infotainment.
All of this is great, but the feature that most people talked about was the coach doors. Genesis removed the B-pillar, opening up the interior for more space.
The company said B-pillarless coach doors are now feasible for production vehicles. It looks like that will, in fact, include the GV90.
We got a sneak peek of the GV90 last month for the first time after it was spotted on a carrier in South Korea. Earlier this week, we got a closer look at it with less camo, revealing the production model will remain close to the concept.
The model we saw earlier this week was the “Standard” version with a B-pillar and traditional doors. Now, we are getting our first look at the GV90 “Exclusive” trim with coach doors and more.

Genesis is expected to reveal the GV90 later this year, and production is slated for early 2026. The flagship electric SUV is expected to be available in at least two trims: Standard and Exclusive.
The Standard model is expected to start at around 100 million won ($80,000), while the Exclusive version, which will be limited to just a few units, will cost upwards of 200 million won ($160,000).
Hyundai will build the larger electric SUV at its Ulsan EV plant in Korea. It will be the first to ride on its new eM platform, which will replace its current E-GMP underpinning its IONIQ models (IONIQ 5, 6, and 9), Genesis GV60, and Kia’s (EV3, EV4, EV5, EV6, and EV9) latest electric cars.
