Genesis Created the G90 Performance Wagon That BMW and Mercedes Never Attempted | Carscoops

      The Korean brand appears to be committed to expanding the G90 lineup.

      Genesis has introduced the G90 Wingback concept at a Magma event in France. This model is a wagon variation of the G90 sedan, featuring performance enhancements. It follows the earlier G90 Coupe and Convertible concepts revealed this year.

      This week, Genesis attracted attention with its mid-engined Magma GT concept, showcased alongside the forthcoming production 2027 GV60 Magma performance electric vehicle. The two concepts were highlighted at a special event held at France’s Circuit Paul Ricard, accompanied by an unexpected addition: the G90 Wingback concept.

      This new model is a wagon based on the flagship G90 sedan, envisioning what a BMW 7-Series Touring, Mercedes-Benz S-Class Estate, or Audi A8 Avant might look like if such variations were created.

      The concept is intriguing on its own, but Genesis has also incorporated visual, performance, and chassis enhancements from its Magma division to boost its appeal.

      The front design features a streamlined grille and an aggressive bumper with diamond-pattern intake vents. The side vents indicate that the front fenders are wider than the standard model, accommodating larger alloy wheels fitted with performance tires.

      In line with any appropriate sports wagon, the reimagined roofline and rear profile are standout features. A ducktail spoiler sits above the full-width LED taillights, complemented by a distinct roof spoiler. Underneath, a rear diffuser is designed to frame four exhaust tips.

      Genesis has not yet disclosed technical specifications for the concept, but the lower stance compared to the sedan suggests some modifications to the chassis. There is also a reasonable assumption that a more powerful engine could be included.

      Will It Move into Production?

      This attractive wagon follows the positive reception of the G90 Coupe and Convertible concepts introduced in April 2025, as part of Genesis's discrete effort to enhance its premium lineup, although none of these models have yet reached dealerships.

      Currently, the company has not announced any production plans, leaving the future of the G90 Wingback uncertain. We would be pleasantly surprised if Genesis decided to move forward with it.

      As full-size luxury sedans face significant challenges, with declining sales in many markets and brands like Lexus withdrawing from the segment, it is hard to envision a wagon like this evolving into more than an engineering exercise or a brief, limited production run. Only time will reveal whether this expectation holds true.

      We have contacted Genesis for further information and will provide updates as they become available.

2025 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid Review: Excelling in a Single Aspect 2025 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid Review: Excelling in a Single Aspect The Kia Niro PHEV is the most affordable plug-in hybrid SUV in the United States. It certainly gives off that impression, despite this particular model being priced at $42,000. ICE agents apprehended 475 workers during the raid, among whom 317 were South Korean nationals.

A White House official stated that they were not informed about the ICE raid in advance.

The governor of Georgia contacted Hyundai’s CEO after the workers were detained.

Reports indicate that Trump encouraged the detained Hyundai workers to remain in the U.S.

Jose Muñoz, the CEO of Hyundai, revealed that a White House official reached out to express regret following the controversial ICE raid at the company's factory in Savannah, Georgia.

This apology followed weeks of criticism regarding the treatment of Korean workers and the ensuing political uncertainty related to the operation.

The CEO mentioned shortly after the news broke that approximately 200 of the detained Korean workers are preparing to file a lawsuit against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

During a recent event in Singapore, Muñoz refrained from naming the White House official who contacted him, stating only that the individual claimed they had no advance notice of the raid.

He added that the governor of Georgia also reached out, reportedly saying, "I don’t know what happened, this is not under state jurisdiction."

Muñoz further implied that "someone might have made a call and suggested that there were illegal immigrants" working at the facility.

It remains unclear how many of the workers Hyundai brought from South Korea to establish the facility had the incorrect type of visa. Many were reportedly on short-term or recreational visas that prohibited employment, although a considerable number did possess valid work authorization.

Trump Attempted to Get Involved

Right after the raid, U.S. President Donald Trump allegedly encouraged the more than 300 workers detained by ICE to remain in the United States to assist in training U.S. workers.

This plan did not come to fruition, and the workers were quickly sent back to South Korea. Trump later informed reporters that he was "very much opposed" to the raid, according to the BBC.

Of the 475 workers taken by ICE during the raid, 317 were South Korean nationals. They were held for about a week, reportedly in rooms with 60 to 80 individuals, forced to sleep on moldy mattresses, and drink water with a "foul" odor.

One worker also claimed that Hyundai personnel were ridiculed by guards and faced racial slurs. ICE agents apprehended 475 workers during the raid, among whom 317 were South Korean nationals.
