Genesis GV90 electric SUV planned for 2023 – report

The Hyundai Ioniq 7 and Kia EV9 will have a third sibling from 2023 onwards, a super-luxury Genesis SUV designed to sit atop the model range.

Hyundai-owned luxury brand Genesis will launch its largest model yet in or sometime after 2023 – a new GV90 electric SUV – according to a new overseas report.

Korean publication ET News reports Genesis will introduce a new large electric SUV “after” 2023, expected to wear the GV90 moniker, which will sit above the current petrol- and diesel-powered GV80 as a rival for the upcoming, all-electric Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and Audi Q8 E-Tron.

The outlet says the new model will ride on parent Hyundai’s E-GMP modular battery-electric vehicle platform – meaning the GV90 will be offered solely with electric power – as a twin to the Hyundai Ioniq 7 and Kia EV9, previewed in concept form last month, and due in production guise within two to three years.

ET News provides no details of the GV90’s mechanicals, though it speculates it would be sized similarly to its EV9 twin, which in concept form measures 4930mm long, 2055mm wide and 1790mm high, riding on a 3100mm wheelbase.

A preview of the Genesis brand’s future SUV range.

These dimensions would in fact make the GV90 15mm shorter in overall length than the ‘smaller’ GV80 – but 80mm wider and 75mm taller – so it’s likely Genesis will look to stretch the E-GMP platform to assert the GV90’s position as the brand’s flagship vehicle (and a rival on size to full-size, ‘upper large’ European luxury SUVs).

The E-GMP platform should bestow the GV90 with approximately 500km of driving range, along with an 800-volt electrical architecture and 350kW DC fast charging capable of a 10 to 80 per cent charge in approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Mirroring other E-GMP-based vehicles – including the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60 trio – the GV90 will be differentiated from its EV9 and Ioniq 7 siblings through unique body, interior and Genesis-specific powertrain options, albeit sitting on the same architecture, reducing cost and shortening development times.

The new GV90 will become the Korean luxury brand’s fourth all-electric model, following the Electrified G80 large sedan, Electrified GV70 medium SUV, and dedicated, E-GMP-based GV60 small SUV.

It’s the next step in the marque’s plan to introduce its last combustion-engined model in 2025, before switching to an all-electric and fuel-cell line-up in 2030, comprising eight models.

Genesis might have provided our first glimpse at the new GV90 in a teaser image released in September, showing multiple large electric SUVs with bold twin-line LED light strips across their front wheel arches.

ET News reports initial discussions with component suppliers for the 2023 Genesis GV90 are underway, ahead of the production of the first prototypes. Mass production and a market launch will commence “after 2023”.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals.

But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
