Genesis Pillarless Test

Genesis will submit the GV90 NeoLun to independent crash tests to evaluate its pillar-less architecture.
The cabin houses a concealed roll-cage 1.5× thicker than conventional cars, meeting safety standards despite no B-pillar.

Historical Context

Tesla’s 2012 Model S launch with an 85 kWh battery proved premium electric sedans could succeed, prompting the luxury segment to pursue high-performance EVs. Today, Genesis is testing its electric GV90 SUV, while Tesla’s 2021 Plaid added three motors, illustrating the industry’s shift toward powerful, pillar-less designs. This evolution underscores how early EV success reshapes design priorities across brands.
