Genesis GV90: Hyundai Unveils New All-Electric Flagship SUV Hyundai Motor has introduced its newest luxury flagship vehicle, the Genesis GV90, an all-electric large SUV that marks a significant step in the brand’s expansion into the U.S. market. The GV90 represents a new design direction for Genesis and adds to the luxury brand’s lineup, bringing its total U.S. offerings to seven vehicles. This marks the largest vehicle the brand has introduced since entering the American market a decade ago. The GV90 is positioned to compete with established players in the large SUV segment, including the Cadillac Vistiq and Escalade IQ, Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, and Rivian R1S. The GV90 is Hyundai’s first full-size SUV under its luxury brand, designed to appeal to consumers seeking both luxury and advanced technology. The vehicle will be manufactured at a new Hyundai facility in Ulsan, South Korea, and is expected to go on sale in the U.S. early next year. Pricing details for the vehicle, which will be Hyundai’s fourth electric vehicle in the U.S., will be announced closer to its release. Genesis has not confirmed whether the GV90 will be available as a hybrid or gas-powered option, unlike other models such as the GV70 SUV and G80 sedan. The GV90 will be offered in two variants: the GV90 Neolun, which features coach doors that open from the middle of the vehicle, and standard GV90 trims with conventional swing doors. A "First Edition" variant will also be available, featuring special badging, wool cashmere, and other premium materials. The coach doors, also known as suicide doors, are a rare design choice in the automotive industry. Genesis emphasized that the doors were engineered to meet strict safety standards, even without a central pillar.#hyundai_motor #genesis #ulsan_south_korea #cadillac_vistiq #mercedes_benz_eqs_suv
Hyundai Exter facelift launched at Rs 5.80 lakh with over 25 upgrades Hyundai Motor India Limited has introduced a redesigned version of the Hyundai Exter in India, starting at Rs 5.80 lakh (ex-showroom). The updated compact SUV features a range of design, interior, and safety improvements while retaining its existing powertrain options. Priced between Rs 5.80 lakh and Rs 9.42 lakh, the facelifted model aims to enhance its appeal to urban buyers and young families through modern aesthetics and added functionality. The refreshed Exter builds on its previous success, having already attracted over 2 lakh customers in India. This update focuses on delivering a more contemporary look, a premium cabin, and an expanded safety package. Despite these changes, the mechanical components remain unchanged, continuing to rely on the proven formula that has defined the model. Externally, the Exter now boasts a bolder, more upright stance that emphasizes its SUV character. The front fascia has been redesigned with a wider grille, a new centre garnish, and updated bumpers, giving it a more assertive appearance. At the rear, new tailgate and C-pillar garnishes create a sharper, sportier profile, while a wing-type spoiler adds visual flair. The SUV also features new 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and more pronounced wheel arch cladding, contributing to a tougher, muscular design. Hyundai continues to position the Exter as the tallest SUV in its segment, with one of the longest wheelbases, which enhances road presence and cabin space. Inside, the cabin has been significantly upgraded with a more premium and contemporary layout. A dual-tone navy blue and grey interior theme is complemented by a new 3D carbon-pattern finish on the dashboard.#india #hyundai_motor #hyundai_motor_india_limited #hyundai_exter #kappa_engine
Nvidia Expands Autonomous Vehicle Partnerships with Hyundai, BYD, and Others Nvidia has announced new partnerships with Hyundai Motor, Nissan Motor, Isuzu, and Chinese automakers BYD and Geely to expand its autonomous vehicle (AV) development business. The collaborations focus on Nvidia’s Drive Hyperion platform, a system designed to help companies develop and deploy driver-assist and autonomous driving capabilities for Level 4 AVs. These vehicles are capable of operating without human intervention in predefined conditions or areas. The partnerships mark a significant step in Nvidia’s strategy to grow beyond its core artificial intelligence (AI) business. During the company’s GTC developers conference in San Jose, California, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the importance of self-driving cars, calling the current advancements a “ChatGPT moment” for the industry. He stated that the company has achieved a breakthrough in autonomous driving and is now announcing four new partners for its robotaxi-ready platform. Huang predicted that the number of robotaxi-ready vehicles in the future will be “incredible,” though no consumer vehicles are currently available that can operate entirely without human oversight. The Drive Hyperion platform is part of Nvidia’s broader “end-to-end” AV solution, which includes data center training, large-scale simulations, and in-vehicle computing systems. Nvidia does not manufacture or sell AVs or many of their components, instead providing the technology and infrastructure for automotive companies to build their own systems. Current customers of the platform include self-driving startups like Aurora and Nuro, as well as consumer-facing businesses such as Sony Group, Uber Technologies, Jeep parent Stellantis, and electric vehicle maker Lucid Group.#nvidia #jensen_huang #hyundai_motor #byd #drive_hyperion
