Genesis G90 Facelift Interior Leaked: Bespoke 3-Dial Cluster, GV90 Center Knob Display, and Posible Expanding Pleos Screen

Genesis is pivoting toward bespoke coachbuilding for the upcoming mid-cycle refresh of its flagship G90 sedan. While recent updates to the G80 and GV80 embraced a standardized 27-inch panoramic OLED slab, exclusive spy images reveal that the G90 facelift is charting an entirely different path. By marrying classic coachbuilt elegance with cutting-edge digital controls, the G90 refresh introduces three dedicated digital dials, an expandable ultra-wide Pleos center display, the multifunction rounded Center Knob Display directly from the GV90, and a dedicated column-mounted gear selector.

Core Interior Architecture Highlights

• 3-Dial Digital Driver Binnacle: Replaces the old horizontal panel with three distinct digital pods inspired by Bentley instrumentation and the Genesis X Gran Equator concept.

• GV90-Style Expandable Center Display: Adopts an ultra-wide, low-profile screen footprint capable of motorized expansion for relaxation and multimedia, running next-generation Pleos Connect OS.

• Multifunction Center Knob Display: Integrates the GV90's circular digital dial on the center tunnel, featuring a built-in display to manage a clock face, cabin temperature, fan speed, and audio volume.

• Fixed Column-Mounted Shifter: Relocates gear selection away from the console to an electronic stalk behind the steering wheel, intentionally skipping the motorized 12-to-2 o'clock deployment found on the GV90.

• Next-Gen Pleos Software & AI: Powered by Hyundai Motor Group’s Android Automotive OS-based SDV platform with the Gleo conversational AI assistant.

Bespoke Triple Digital Dials: Classic Elegance Meets Digital Precision

The defining highlight inside the refreshed cabin is the driver's binnacle. Rather than extending a single continuous glass slab across the dash, Genesis fitted three circular digital gauge pods framed by distinct metallic bezels.

Drawing direct inspiration from the Genesis X Gran Equator concept, this design delivers the mechanical aura of a classic luxury chronometer while keeping modern digital versatility:

• Separated Telemetry: Critical readouts—such as speed, tachometer/route instructions, and active ADAS prompts—are isolated into dedicated pods to reduce visual clutter.

• Digital Dials, Not Analog Clocks: Despite the vintage, three-gauge layout, each pod contains a high-resolution circular digital screen rather than mechanical needles.

• Flagship Distinction: This bespoke binnacle gives the G90 deliberate visual separation from the unified single-piece screens found across the rest of the Genesis lineup.

GV90-Derived Center Screen: Expandable Pleos Architecture

Adjacent to the triple-dial binnacle sits an ultra-wide, low-profile center display sharing the exact physical footprint seen on the Genesis GV90 electric flagship SUV, which by the way, doesn't confirm it will be available with the same expandable technology.

• Expandable Display Footprint: Similar to the motorized display technology previewed on the GV90, the widescreen platform operates in a low-profile mode while driving and can expand upward to unlock full multimedia and relaxation modes when parked.

• Pleos Connect Operating System: Built on Hyundai Motor Group’s Android Automotive OS-based SDV foundation, the screen partitions into modular zones.

• Dedicated Driver Info Zone: The leftmost area remains allocated to vehicle status, driving telemetry, and immediate vehicle metrics.

• Gleo Generative AI: Built-in conversational intelligence eliminates deep menu diving for multi-zone climate, seat functions, and complex route adjustments.

Redesigned Console: Multifunction Center Knob Display & Simplified Column Shifter

The transmission tunnel and driver controls have received a major overhaul to streamline ergonomics and elevate tactile luxury:

• GV90 Rounded Center Knob Display: The old crystal shift-by-wire dial is completely gone. In its place sits the round central controller with an embedded digital screen borrowed from the GV90. Rather than handling gears, this interactive knob displays an elegant clock face and acts as a tactile physical interface to adjust cabin temperature, regulate fan speed, or turn the audio volume up and down.

• Column-Mounted Shifter (Without GV90 Motorization): Gear selection shifts off the floor to an electronic stalk behind the steering wheel. Notably, spy shots confirm it does not adopt the GV90's motorized "Motion Column Shifter" mechanism that swings from a 12 o'clock rest position down to 2 o'clock upon vehicle start. Instead, the G90 relies on a clean, stationary electronic column stalk, emphasizing understated traditional limousine ergonomics.

• Streamlined Executive Tunnel: Clearing drive selection off the console opens room for dual wireless charging pads, flush storage, and broad slabs of open-pore wood paneling.

• Refined Cabin Finishes: Upgraded leather quilting, tailored ambient lighting zones, and expanded rear-seat executive controls align the refreshed cabin with tier-one luxury benchmarks.

Exterior Styling and Powertrain Updates

The cabin overhaul is paired with significant exterior refinements:

• Neolun-Inspired Taillights: Prototypes testing in South Korea showcase ultra-slim, edge-to-edge Two-Line LED rear taillights that wrap smoothly around the rear quarters.

• Sharper 3D Crest Grille: Up front, a redesigned 3D G-Matrix grille sits lower between narrower Micro Lens Array (MLA) headlamps for a wider, more planted stance.

• High-Output Performance Hybrid: Alongside the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, Genesis is widely expected to debut its high-output rear-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain.
