2026 Genesis GV90: Flagship electric SUV spied
The Genesis GV90, the luxury brand's upcoming flagship crossover, has been spotted doing some hot laps around the Nurburgring.
Although the prototype is clad head to toe in camouflage, we can clearly see the overall design is based heavily on the Neolun concept (pictured at the bottom), which was revealed at the 2024 New York motor show.
Practically the only gaps in the camouflage are for small slits at both ends of the car. Out of these peek the brand's signature twin-line lighting elements.

At the front, the bottom line of lights seem to dip as it approaches the middle of the car, creating a V-shaped faux grille display. Along the side the upper line traces the lower edge of the clamshell bonnet all the way to rear of the front fender.
While the concept had reverse-hinged rear doors and a B-pillar-free design for easy ingress and egress, the production car sticks with a traditional door layout.
The rear doors are significantly larger than those at the front, which when combined the long rear overhang hints at the car's size.
Although the concept had seating for just four people, the production car will likely be offered with three rows of seats.
Given the rise in popularity of luxury four-seat people movers, such as the Lexus LM and Buick GL8 Century, we certainly can't rule out the possibility of a four-seat version — it would certainly give the car more differentiation from its platform-mates, as well as external competitors, such as the BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS.
The GV90 is thought to ride on Hyundai's all-electric E-GMP architecture, making it a relative of the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9. Both the Ioniq 9 and EV9 measure a smidge over five metres in length, and ride on a wheelbase around 3.1m long.
The top-spec Ioniq 9 has dual-motor all-wheel drive layout making a total of 320kW and 700Nm, and is capable of ripping through the 0-100km/h standard in 5.2 seconds. Battery capacity currently maxes out at 110kWh, while charging speeds up to 350kW are supported.
Obviously there's no word yet on pricing for the GV90, but it would be above both the Kia and Hyundai. The EV9 currently tops out at around $110,000, and the Ioniq 9 is expected go beyond that as it has a larger battery pack.
The production version of the GV90 was initially set to be launched at the end of 2025, but the latest rumours indicate the car has been delayed slightly.

Subaru teases what could be a new WRX
When the latest Subaru WRX was launched back in 2022, the Japanese automaker said there wouldn't be a high-performance STI version in the current generation. True to its word, the closest Subaru has got to offering a new WRX STI since then is the WRX tS Spec B flagship (pictured below), offering a manual gearbox, Brembo brakes, adaptive dampers and other parts from the brand's STI performance division. Now it has released a teaser image of a new model it will reveal in October, sending Subaru fans into a spin because it has all the hallmarks of either an all-new WRX, or a higher-performance version of the current WRX or Levorg (WRX Sportswagon). Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now . While Subaru didn't name the vehicle, a single, intentionally washed-out image published by the brand reveals its front-end styling. Aggressive bodywork can clearly be seen in the teaser image, including a chunky front bumper with low-to-the-ground splitter and side skirts. There's also a trademark WRX central bonnet scoop and, looking further, heavily blistered wheel-arches that suggest larger wheels and bigger brakes. But while other WRX hallmarks – including a turbocharged boxer engine and all-wheel drive – are almost a given, the grille looks more like the previous-generation WRX's or even the Levorg's. Best Car Web reported the automaker said at the announcement – held at Mount Fuji Raceway in Japan – the vehicle shown in the image will be 'environmentally friendly' and will usher in 'a new generation without losing its Subaru character'. Subaru confirmed it's working on a horizontally opposed ('boxer') internal combustion engine which is compatible with 'E20' carbon-neutral fuel. The automaker also said hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions of the new engine are in development, which suggests the new WRX could be given a hybrid push to meet emissions while offering the capability demanded of a high-performance flagship. Japan currently plans to ban sale of new vehicles powered solely by internal combustion engines (ICE) by 2035 but will permit hybrid vehicles alongside battery-electric models. Part of the core WRX make-up is all-wheel drive, which the automaker said it is also working on for the new model with knowledge gained in motor sport. Subaru competes in the 2025 Super Taikyu Series in Japan as Team SDA Engineering with the intention of developing its road car models, with Subaru employees as its drivers. The vehicle will be unveiled at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show scheduled to start on October 30, 2025.
