JAKARTA - A luxury auto brand from South Korea, Genesis is developing several new models to be introduced globally. One of the cars in the development stage is the GV90 which will enter the full-size SUV class.

One of these future models is reportedly taking on a concept from Neolun that was introduced some time ago. However, GV90's development encountered problems when tested by the road.

Carscoops reported on Tuesday, February 11, that the car was caught on camera with a beautiful camouflage. However, the Genesis GV90 road test encountered problems after falling into a ditch filled with chunks of snow.

This makes the car have to get additional help from the crane to be removed. It was not explained what damage this SUV experienced, but the incident was quite embarrassing for the premium brand.

It is known that Genesis GV90 has a wheelbase of up to 3,100 mm which allows it to load three rows of wide chairs. Its interior has a second row with a separate chair by a giant console as a place to charge a small cellphone or tablet.

Judging from the exterior, this car has some similarities to the concept version. Meanwhile, Genesis will take advantage of the E-GMP platform for GV90 or the same architecture as Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9.

Because it carries the same architecture, Genesis GV90 will have the same electric motor with a power of 429 hp in the basic variant and more than 600 hp for its highest type.

This one car has the potential to have the same battery as Ioniq 9, amounting to 110 kWh which can give it a reach of 620 km in a single full-voltaged charge of 800V.

Although the details of this large SUV are still minimal, it is estimated that Genesis GV90 will make its debut in the coming months at a price of around US$100,000 or equivalent to Rp1,639 billion.
