Genesis is preparing to redefine the gran turismo segment with the upcoming Genesis GT90, the production version of the X Gran Coupe. Based on the flagship G90 luxury sedan platform, this all-new two-door grand tourer has been green-lighted by Genesis and is expected to debut in 2026 in Korea. Designed to rival premium European GTs, the GT90 will blend elegant design, advanced technology, and refined long-distance performance.
Luxury Grand Tourer Positioning
The Genesis GT90 (G90 Coupe) will enter the large luxury GT segment, competing against models like the BMW 8 Series and the discontinued Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. Unlike hardcore sports coupes, the GT90 will focus on grand touring comfort and refinement, offering effortless high-speed cruising and exceptional interior luxury — traits that have defined the Genesis brand’s identity.
Engine and Performance
Under its sculpted hood, the Genesis GT90 is expected to feature a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, already proven in the G90 sedan. For higher trims, Genesis is likely to offer a 48V mild-hybrid system, increasing output to 415 horsepower and 56 kgf·m of torque.
This setup promises smooth, responsive acceleration and quiet, refined power delivery — ideal for long-distance driving and luxury cruising rather than track performance.
Cutting-Edge Features and Ride Comfort
Genesis will equip the GT90 with its latest driving technologies and comfort features, making it one of the most advanced luxury coupes on the market. Confirmed features include:
- Rear-Wheel Steering: Enhances agility at low speeds and stability during high-speed travel.
- Adaptive Air Suspension: Provides a customizable balance between comfort and dynamic control.
Together, these systems are expected to deliver a composed and balanced ride, aligning with Genesis’s commitment to refinement and driver comfort.
Design and Interior Expectations
While official design images have yet to be released, the G90 Coupe is expected to retain the sedan’s elegant proportions while incorporating a sleeker, two-door grand touring silhouette. Inside, expect Genesis’s signature mix of handcrafted materials, advanced infotainment, and minimalist design language — creating a luxurious environment suitable for cross-continental journeys.
Launch Date and Pricing
The Genesis GT90 (or G90 Coupe) is set to launch in 2026, marking Genesis’s entry into the high-end grand touring coupe market. Pricing is expected to start in the mid-100 million KRW range, roughly mid-$100,000 USD, positioning it alongside European luxury GT rivals.
