Genesis Unveils Plans for the GT90: A Luxury Grand Tourer
Genesis is poised to redefine the grand touring segment with the upcoming GT90, a two-door masterpiece that promises to blend elegant design, advanced technology, and refined long-distance performance. Based on the flagship G90 luxury sedan platform, the production version of the X Gran Coupe is set to debut in Korea in 2026.
A New Era in Luxury Grand Touring
The Genesis GT90 will enter the large luxury GT segment, competing directly with esteemed models like the BMW 8 Series and the discontinued Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe.
