Genesis GV90 EV Debuts as Hyundai's New Luxury Flagship
Hyundai introduces the GV90 electric SUV, a design pivot for Genesis that grows the brand's U.S. lineup to seven vehicles.

The launch signals not just a product addition but a deliberate repositioning of Genesis as a serious contender in the premium EV segment, a space currently dominated by established names like Cadillac's Lyriq and BMW's iX.
