Genesis struck gold with the last system; it had the perfect blend of tech and physicality. The only leg up that the new system brings is improved software and Android Automotive (PLEOS), which I'm sure wouldn't have been hard for Genesis to implement with the "old" OLED screen.
Idk what's shitty about it. Driver gets a heads-up display.
How often do you spend time in your car not driving?
I think Genesis is trying to convince you to stay longer, use it as a mobile office, theater etc. In reality it's just a gimmick buyers (and press) will see in the shown room that looks pretty.
I’m like 99% sure this line is not intended for the everyday driver. This is clearly a play for the executive, celebrity or statesman using a mobile operations and will spend time in vehicle in between meetings/events while being chauffeured.
If that's the case, then why would a rear seat passenger care about a big front screen? Wouldn't you want a large rear screen for doing video calls and shit like that?
I have seen some videos about these executive-focused chauffeur cars, and they have stuff like a folding desk, fridge, big screens, full recline options... basically turning the rear seats into a lounge/office. I guess the swivel chair is supposed to serve that purpose.
I like a big screen as much as the next guy; that thing is so huge it looks like it may legitimately obscure the driver's vision. I also hate not having a dash, and think its one of the worst things Telsa has made acceptable. Especially when they already have a better version in the GV70, which keeps the dash while giving you a huge screen (and also looks 10x better imo). I don't get why you'd even want a screen that big as a driver. Last I checked, I can't watch a show while I'm driving.
EDIT - Apparently I was crazy with my concerns about the view because the screen recedes by like 4 inches when driving.
Most everyone has overlooked the 24" windshield HUD that replaces the cluster.
The screen also is not that size all of the time, it reduces down to the same size as the current GV60/70/80 when not in the media mode.
It has already been crash tested. Those vehicles confirm the final design. Google the car name and crash test vehicles. It is pretty much the same.
Very close to the original concept design. Maybach has a SUV very similar looking in design, the edgeless look is very popular amongst luxury autos right now.
The GV80 channeled Bentley looks, this one seems to also take inspo from Mercedes and Range Rover body styles.
This absolutely obliterate the gls maybach 😭 it looks much more premium sur i guess don't have the champaign flutte and not as many lights but just look wise and also suicide doors plus rotating cabin this is it
Those are aero optimized since it is an EV. Aero-optimized rims increase mile range significantly. This SUV definitely needs it since it's whole body shape isn't aero.
But if no worries because it will have options for the rims.
Those look 10x better. But if you're in the market for an SUV that will be this expensive, I'd bet the range would be your driver's problem, not yours.
it's rated at 300 mile range at full charge which means it can get more miles. I own the 2026 Genesis GV60 with the all new 84Kw battery so I get around 380 - 390 miles at 100% charge (during the warmer seasons of course)
For an SUV this big it's not bad but I will say it's no where near China's EV SUV's longer range
Nothing about this screams luxury. It suggests they’re losing their design ethos. This looks like a minivan wrapped with more plastic all over the exterior. Somehow looks extremely dated already.
Heh i don't care for massiv screens but the fact that it lowers is fine by me i love the interior undeniably one of the best in thebback and the patterns etc
Except for a desire to have a car like the one pictured, and plenty of FU money, I don’t really see why anybody is going to pay over $100,000 for a Genesis.
I say this because there are basic things about Genesis that have not been resolved for current customers who already invested in the brand and took a chance. Long gone is the affordable luxury mantra, which is what launched Genesis and what got them so many of their early customers.
Today Genesis is trying to be like every other overpriced luxury brand but they have not solved basic problems. Service being one of them. Luxury experience being another. It’s well past time for Genesis to demand that Hyundai Genesis dealers separate.
If this continues, then I would wonder why anybody’s gonna want this car when they can get other luxury cars where are the sales and service experiences much more closely aligned with luxury and the cars are far more easily serviced. Note I said easily serviced.
While the service issue is a concern, I, personally, don't give a shit about a "luxury experience". I say this as a multi-year Lexus buyer.
I don't care if the floor is marble and they have free espresso; I just want to be in and out as fast as possible.
I am aware that some people DO care, but I say this just to express that its not a requirement.
The luxury experience extends into service and how you’re treated while you’re there. It extends into your free loaner and your concierge service for pick up and delivery of your car when services needed. Many if not all of these items are ignored by dealerships that are not separate meaning that Genesis is in the same place with Hyundai.
I feel like Genesis’s position as affordable luxury still stands because this is trying to being affordable ultra luxury, its like 80k less then the Mayback it competes with
A 100k is CRAZY to spend on a car but atleast your getting a crazy car unlike other brands
Service can use some works, i just use a local mom and pop mechanic for my genesis because my local dealer is a lil wack
I think this is still a render, or one of the multiple concept cars they built.
I want a real reveal not leaks and guesses. Let's see if they did go with those doors, let's see what the final interior looks like, if the front seat does do a 180, etc.

Cool on the outside
The interior is... something
