This is the most Chinese non-Chinese car I’ve ever seen
Genesis (owned by Hyundai) has just officially unveiled its new all-electric three-row flagship SUV for the U.S., the GV90, and it has some wild features.
• Range: Up to 310 miles
• 123 kWh battery
• Peak charging speed: 350kW
• Radiant floor heating
• World’s first independently opening/closing hidden B-pillar coach-door system.
• Front and rear doors can open toward each other simultaneously, creating a large pillarless opening.
• New dual-motion rear-door hinge first moves the door outward and then rotates it open.
• World’s first Roof Airbag, designed to deploy across the entire glass roof during severe rollovers to reduce occupant ejection and roof-contact injuries.
• Battery slider structure redirects components such as the motor and subframe underneath the battery during a frontal collision.
• Multi-Chamber Air Suspension with adjustable air-spring stiffness and adaptive ride height.
• Active Rear Wheel Steering turns the rear wheels by up to 5 degrees
• 208 inches long
• Genesis says the pillarless structure achieves crash-safety performance equivalent to vehicles with conventional B-pillars.
• When parked, the front seats can rotate 180 degrees at the press of a button, creating a face-to-face lounge configuration.
• Wireless Battery Management System reduces wiring and improves battery packaging efficiency.
• New Power Control System eliminates the traditional start/stop button - first Hyundai Motor Group vehicle with the system.
• Pop-up 23.6" OLED Cinematic Display. When parked, the screen can rise 90 mm and expand into a 24.6-inch display.
• 25-inch Head-Up Display replaces a conventional dedicated instrument cluster and displays speed, navigation and ADAS information.
• Memory Reversing Assist (MRA) remembers the vehicle’s path and can automatically guide it backward out of narrow alleys or parking areas.
• Bang & Olufsen Premier 3D audio system. 25 speakers. Dolby Atmos support.
• Premium leather seats feature 15 individual air cells. Seats include a pulse-vibration massage system.
• Metal-coated heated windshield, a Hyundai Motor Group first, can directly heat the glass to clear frost and condensation without relying solely on cabin climate control.
• Radiant heating built into first- and second-row console armrests, side panels and door trims.
• GV90 Neolun Executive Suite available in a 4-seat configuration.
Executive Suite second row features a real wood veneer floor.
Comfort Partition separates the second-row passenger compartment from the cargo area to reduce luggage-compartment noise.
• Smart Vision Roof using PDLC smart-glass technology. Roof transparency can be independently controlled across six zones.
• Built-in refrigerator
• High-expansion soundproofing fillers are injected into structural cavities to reduce noise and vibration. Additional reinforced sound-absorbing materials throughout the cabin.
• Material choices include natural wood, genuine stone and wool cashmere.
• 10–80% charge in ~22 mins
• 657 hp
• Can configure a 4 seat or 7 seat interior
This is not a concept car. This is the production design. Pricing will be announced later. Deliveries start next year. More photos in the thread below:
“No x, no y, just adjective adjective z” has got to be one of the most irritating tics of AI writing.
There is nothing magic about making me open and repeatedly refresh my email client so I can click a link that will sign me in to your news site, but in a different tab from the one where I’m trying to read an article that’s paywalled, thus forcing me to refresh that tab too.
My thoughts exactly re: the latest shooting. This is exactly what was taught when I got my CCW. It is your duty as someone holding a gun to do your best to ensure you never have to use it, and that very much includes “don’t join in street scuffles against the cops”.
Never had an issue with the concept of voting by mail, and I’ve done it several times. But I don’t love the fact that no fewer than six ballots got shipped to my mailbox without anyone asking for them (mine, plus five former tenants’).
Booking travel isn’t hard, and at no point have I wished I could offload decision making power to another person, much less an AI bot. I care which airline and aircraft I fly, and which hotel I stay at, and how much I spend / when I splurge. Why travel such a common AI ad?
Oh look, the autonomous CCP-controllable EVs now have a system for launching a flaming, impossible to extinguish projectile at the push of a button.
I’m sure it’s nothing.
The story of human flourishing is one of shunning the type of society that accepts killing people over political differences. It’s evil, illiberal, and un-American. Antithetical to the progress progressives seek and the founding tradition conservatives are supposed to conserve.
Getting shot after having said that sometimes people get shot and that it’s the price of freedom isn’t an own. It isn’t a contradiction. He was correct then and is correct now, and I suspect if he were around to ask, he’d maintain his position. It’s called having a principle.
One way people inadvertently show their elitism is by implying that if they’re qualified for a skilled job, they’re also qualified for all the lower status jobs “below” the one they’re qualified for. But no, your CS degree doesn’t make you a top candidate for a job at McDonald’s.
But if you were running hiring at a fast food restaurant, why on earth would you hire a college grad who thinks they’re worth more money than you intend to pay, who you know is only applying with you because they couldn’t find the job they actually want? That would be stupid.
