Genesis has a new SUV – or at least, the concept of what could become one. It’s the Neolun, and it’s debuting at this year’s New York Auto Show. Inspired by Korea’s “iconic moon-shaped porcelain pots,” notes Luc Donckerwolke, Genesis creative director, the Neolun concept features a unique square design with Genesis’ signature “two-line” lighting pattern at the back. ‘front and rear.
The exterior wears a two-tone Midnight Black and Majestic Blue paint job, while the interior is covered in beautiful Royal Indigo leather with white piping. Two rows of luxurious chairs swivel toward each other to mimic the warmth of a living room. Speaking of heat, the concept’s floor is heated. Not just the seats, but the entire floor.
The Neolun features a special audio system with advanced “sound architecture” that provides passengers with a fully immersive, concert hall-like audio experience. As in the GV60, there is a crystal sphere in the front compartment that rotates when the audio system is activated.
The Genesis Neolun concept presents a truly large SUV. In this case, the concept only has two rows of seats, but we know that a production GV90 is on the way, and this version should at least offer a third row. Like the Mercedes-Maybach GLS, Genesis could potentially offer two variants of the GV90: one with two more luxurious rows or a traditional version with three rows of seats.
Details like performance, powertrain and price remain a mystery. We should know more about what the production version of this concept might look like before the end of the year.
