Haters may still continue to hate, but Genesis is doing things we expected stalwart brands like Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti to do in the world of flagship luxury sedans. Expect an all-electric version of the G90 to show up in the future as well. We also have a comparison test between this car and the latest Mercedes-Benz S-Class posting later this month, stay tuned!

Owned a previous gen G90 for 3 years and had pleasant driving all time

I am sooooo glad you finally got this car to review! This is my favorite car review channel by far, and I was intrigued by the introduction of this G90 since last year. Thank you!!!!

I bought a brand new 2020 G90 Ultimate 5.0 and couldn’t believe how great that car was. The downside is you don’t get Genesis-level service, it’s Hyundai-level. Yes they have an incredible warranty on paper but you don’t have to look hard to find plenty of people who are having legitimate warranty claims denied. I never had to file a warranty claim but I had all sorts of trouble with scheduling maintenance. I called for an oil change in January and was told they could get to me in March. The issue is Genesis requires the car to be in a certain mileage window to do the oil changes so when I asked what they recommended I do with the car for 3 months, their reply was “park it”. Not exactly what I wanted to hear with an $80k vehicle. I sold it shortly after and bought a Yukon Denali. Couldn’t be happier. Until Genesis gets their service problems sorted, I won’t even consider one of their vehicles.

Great vehicle! Nice review as always, I enjoy your channel, so detailed. What do you think about the durability of this vehicle compared to the competition?

What a beauty !! Absolutely stunning.

This car looks good, but it doesn't have a Korean identity. For example, sure this might look and try to feel like a Rolls Royce/Bentley, but those are European cars with European-esque feel. Sit into a Lexus LS Executive package, you get a Japanese style luxury car. Lexus uses Japanese terms to describe their cars such as "Takumi" for craftsmanship and "Omotenashi" for experience/feel. This is why Lexus is successful, it has a Japanese identity just as how European luxury cars feel "European." Genesis is nice, but I want to see more Korean inspired look and feel. This car imitates European Luxury cars well, but it needs to have its own Korean heritage. They have money to do this and show the world what Korean luxury can be.

Until you try a Genesis - my suggestion don't criticize it. And, if you're shopping for a used one - there's NOTHING else that can touch it if you want a luxury, first-class, sedan. My only hope is that people remain skeptical so the prices stay relatively low. Do yourselves a favor - those of you in the mrkt for sedan daily driver - just give it a try. I"m 100% a convert and have been for years now. GL

hands down one of the best key foabs

Genesis is knocking it out of the park.

Twin turbo hybrid and supercharged. Sounds like a recipe for not being good in 9 years. Also I hate how car companies are putting reverse lights and sometimes even turn signals at the bottom on the rear. One minor fender bender and they are broken.

I want this company to do well. What they are offering is just superb!!

Those wheels are amazing but man are they going to be a pain to clean; but then owners will probably have someone to detail it for them.

I am thoroughly impressed with KiA/Hyundia & Genesis. This conglomeration is impressive. I rented a 2023 Kia K5 with the 1.6L Turbo 4 - cylinder engine. I was VERY skeptical that this car had the beans to move this rather large vehicle around with some semblance of gusto. I was wrong. This car is almost too powerful at the higher end because the torque just pours on with a sublime smoothness that I have never seen in an engine of this size. Bravo KIA! I will also say that I cannot imagine how explosive the 2.5L turbo version of this vehicle would be to drive. A downside - the brakes need improvement. On the 1.6T model I tested, the brakes were soft initially, but it doesn't have the necessary bite at 80% of brake depression to inspire confidence. My take? I would be love the 2.5T version of this sedan but I fear I will get a SUPER speeding ticket. Lovely cars but if you have a heavy foot like me speeds will built so quicky you can easily and I mean easily get over 100mph without blinking an eye and that's with the 1.6T engine!! KIA/Hyundai/Genesis is AMAZING. But work on those brakes. That is the Achilles heel.

Thanks for the review. This appears to be the best kept secret in the luxury segment, exceeds Lexus and rivals the Germans. Can you change the settings so only the driver door unlocks ( vs all 4) when using the fob? I think if they don't touch a thing and just make it an SUV, it would give Lincoln and Cadillac more than a run for their money and could lure Range Rover drivers as well.

i’m definitely not a hater of this car but I think pricing it upwards of $100,000 and increasing the price substantially from last year’s model really takes away some of the value that was baked into the brand. Genesis to me has always been attainable luxury, and this price increase, though understandable, has taken some of that luster away.

GORGEOUS CAR #perfection

The legroom upfront is 46in in the g90 vs 41in in the s-class. Therefore it is better to look at combined legroom. Still s-class has about 1-2 inches more combined.

Very impressive Genesis G-90 but it’s missing a analog clock?

I love the distinct styling and the interior is gorgeous. I think this vehicle is worth it's asking price. For many competitors you're just getting started for $100000. I would take this over every competitior in the class. The S Class would be close. I still think Mercedes is more polished and refined overall. This is like 8 tenths of the way there. The engine is somewhat of a let down. For all the complexity the performance/fuel efficiency isn't that much better than the V8. The longevity of a system like this is questionable. But I know people in this segment don't keep these vehicles long. The only major issue I have with The G90 isn't the car itself, but the fact there's few stand alone dealerships. Thefew I see look like they will rival anything from Germany or Japan. But imagine buying a $100000 Genesis next to a $20000 Elantra? I'm sure Genesis dealers are expanding but in the meantime that's the reality. But Genesis is on fire. They've done more in 5 years than Acura, Infiniti, or Lexus

Make no mistake...The beautiful seats, self-closing doors, and all the other exciting tech the 2023 G90 boasts makes it quite a desirable car [for the super-rich]. However, all that abundant tech equates to a high chance of some feature malfunctioning. Plus, the turbochargers of the Twin Turbo V6, combined with the supercharger, will induce serious wear on the engine. Hence, the owner of a G90 will likely spend more time in the waiting room of a repair shop than enjoying its vast features.

I do know it will last longer than the S class and has a better warranty too.
