- Genesis GV90 debuts a pop-up 24.6" OLED Cinematic Display that expands from 23.6" in driving mode to 24.6" at the push of a button when parked, paired with a 25-speaker Bang & Olufsen Premier 3D Sound System with Dolby Atmos
- Pleos Connect infotainment runs an exclusive GV90-specific version — the first extendable display on a Hyundai Motor Group vehicle — designed with a smartphone-like UX, per Lee Min-ah, Senior Researcher on the Infotainment UX Development Team
- When parked, the screen switches to Media Home mode supporting Netflix, live TV, music streaming, and third-party apps, while Gleo AI handles voice commands for navigation, restaurant searches, and vehicle functions
- GV90 packs a 123.5 kWh battery — the largest in any Hyundai Motor EV — with an expected ~310-mile (500 km) range for the 7-seater variant
- At 208.1" long with a 127.8" wheelbase, the GV90 outsizes both the Hyundai IONIQ 9 and Kia EV9
- Available in GV90 Neolun (B-pillarless Neolun Arch Gate coach doors, swiveling seats) and standard GV90 (traditional swing doors); unveiled August 19 at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts
- Despite the screens, Genesis retained physical buttons below the infotainment for climate and media, and added a custom 25" Head-Up Display projecting speed and turn-by-turn directions onto the windshield
Why it matters: Genesis is positioning the GV90's parked-theater cabin and Hyundai Motor Group's largest-ever 123.5 kWh battery as a direct challenge to established luxury flagships, reframing the SUV as a mobile living space. Inho Yoon, who designed the Pleos Connect system, explicitly tied the feature to EVs increasingly serving as stationary power sources — not just transportation.
