Making an Impression on the Luxury Vehicle Scene: The New Genesis G90
Genesis is a relatively new car manufacturer in the luxury car scene, and they are shattering everyone's expectations. The luxury vehicle ecosystem is one of the hardest scenes for a manufacturer to break into, and Genesis is doing a great job of it. This is because they have comprised a lineup of luxury sedans that represent a great value compared to their competition. Genesis has spent a lot of time and money on the research and development of their lineup, and it has really paid off. The G90 is Genesis's full-size flagship sedan, and it has been fitted with every technology you could ever want in a luxury vehicle. Our team was impressed with how well the G90 handles driving around town.
ÂFierce Performance Defines the Genesis G90
If we had to use one word to describe how it feels to drive the G90, we would have to say "effortless." The G90 has a refined powertrain that wafts you across the road to your destination. There is no fuss when it comes to driving the G90 due to its Adaptive Control Suspension and chassis. Genesis has achieved such a supple ride by separating channels of rebound and compression, which allows each corner of the car to move independently and more efficiently than if they were stuck together. Since the suspension is adaptive, it can be tuned for greater performance or comfort. The G90 can stiffen its shocks and dampers to give a stiffer, more planted ride for better speed and cornering. It can also soften the suspension to allow for easier travel over bumps and imperfections in the road.
The adaptive suspension is complemented by the G90's intelligent drive modes, which allow you to easily tune your G90 for economy, comfort, performance, or bad weather. The intelligent drive modes accomplish this by changing the throttle response time in the engine and how fast the transmission shifts. These modes help you customize the G90 on the fly for whatever conditions you find yourself in.
One of the biggest performance options on the G90 is your choice of engine. There is a 3.3L V6 and 5.0L V8 available. The V6 generates a respectable 365-horsepower, but the V8 generates an impressive 420-horsepower. The V8 also generates 383 pound-feet of torque, while the V6 generates 376 pound-feet, giving the G90 great power low down in the rev range no matter what engine you choose.
No matter what powertrain you choose, you will get an intelligent 8-speed automatic transmission. This transmission, along with the steering wheel-mounted paddles, gives you better control of the performance of the G90. The transmission automatically matches the engine's rev and provides a smooth or dynamic ride depending on your driving mode. Both the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) versions of the G90 come with a dynamic driving system that will help to keep the G90 on the road no matter the conditions. This gives you, as the driver, extra confidence in the capabilities of the G90.
Advanced Safety Keeps You Safe on the Road
Genesis takes the safety of its customers very seriously.
The Genesis G90 has been filled to the brim with safety technology for
your peace of mind. A safety feature that you may use, more than most
others, in the G90 is the around view monitor. This system makes sure
that there is never an unforeseen situation while parking by giving you a
360-degree view around the vehicle and allowing you to expertly
navigate even the tightest parking spaces.
Another key safety system that you will likely get great use out of is the Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. This system will lock on to the vehicle in front of the G90, while you program it to follow at a set distance. If there is no vehicle in front of the G90, it will resume your programmed cruise control speed. This adaptive cruise control system is special as it allows the vehicle to come to a complete stop, and it will start going again without you having to make any driver inputs. This comes in handy if you plan on using the G90 for long-distance commuting, or you find yourself in "stop-and-go" traffic often.
A system that pairs perfectly with adaptive cruise control is the Lane Keeping Assist, which notifies you if it feels that you are unintentionally leaving the lane. If you do not respond to this alert, it can also apply slight steering inputs to get the G90 back on track. This system is amazing for cross country cruising. It takes all of the stress and fatigue out of long-distance trips, allowing you to arrive at your destination refreshed and revitalized.
A system that works in conjunction with the Lane Keeping Assist is the Smart Blind Spot Detection. This system can sense if there is a vehicle or object next to the G90 and alerts you to their presence with indications on the mirrors. If you continue to move the G90 into an object, it will automatically apply the front brakes in an attempt to steer the G90 away from a potential accident.
The G90 cares about the health of its driver. That is why it is fitted with a Driver Attention Alert System. It monitors the driver for signs of distraction, or fatigue, and it can alert them if it feels that it must. It will also notify the driver if it senses that they should take a rest. Another safety system on the G90 that stands out is the Automatic Emergency Braking System, which seeks to keep everyone in and around the G90 as safe as possible. It can detect a stopped vehicle or a pedestrian that steps out in front of the G90 and automatically stop the vehicle. The G90 can react to these emergencies when the driver fails to do so, keeping everyone in the situation out of harm's way.
Entertainment & Technology Keep You Connected
Since Genesis is so new to the luxury car game, they are
looking to impress everyone with the technology they use in their
vehicles. Nowhere is this more evident than in the interior of the G90,
which is full of technology features to improve convenience and
connectivity. The first tech feature that most people will notice on the
G90 is the massive 12.3-inch multimedia display, the home for all of
the media controls, and the intelligent navigation system. The
navigation in the G90 is special and can display your route on one half
of the screen, while the other half is filled with turn-by-turn
instructions. You can also have your media information or any other
visual data streaming simultaneously. The navigation on the G90 is easy
to use, allowing you to set a destination just by talking to the car.
The navigation will automatically update your directions and the traffic
along your route.
The standard multimedia display also allows you to easily keep connected with your smartphone. This seamless integration, along with an available wireless charging pad, will always keep you connected behind the wheel. For all of your other passengers, there is a backseat USB charging port and an auxiliary input for music. In order to keep your eyes on the road while you drive, the G90 has an advanced heads-up display, which not only shows your vehicles and critical information but can also show your navigation instructions.
In order to help keep your guests entertained, the G90 comes with an impressive 17-speaker Lexicon® sound system with Clari-Fi™ Music Restoration Technology. This system focuses on creating a lush and accurate surround-sound experience, with the music restoration technology helping to improve the sound quality lost in digital compression. This means that the stereo will help your music sound better and more realistic than it ever has before. If that isn't enough, the G90 also has an available rear-seat entertainment system, which is comprised of two 10.3-inch high definition screens. These screens can copy the display of the infotainment system, or they can play custom media and videos to help the rear-seat passengers get encapsulated in the luxurious ride of the G90.
The Genesis G90 Refines Comfort Inside
When you explore the rest of the interior, you will
continue to be impressed due to the luxury materials and layout of the
cabin. Everything is where you expect it to be and in an ergonomic
position, making long cross-country cruises in the G90 a relaxing
experience. The G90 has 22-way adjustable front seats. This means you
can adjust the lumbar, shoulders, bolsters, and overall seating
position. The front and rear seats can be heated, with available
ventilation controls, making it easy for all of your passengers to get
as comfortable as possible. There are three levels of heating and
ventilation, so you can get the exact amount of heating or cooling your
body needs.
The seating surfaces are covered in lush Nappa leather, and you can choose either a black interior or a light beige. The black interior comes with nice brown wood inlays, while the beige comes with a darker grey wood inlay. No matter what color you choose, the headliner is made out of a high-quality microfiber suede. The only separation in the headliner is caused by the standard sunroof of the G90. The sunroof allows more natural light into the cabin, giving you a more natural and open-air experience. Every surface in the interior of the G90 is either soft-touch leather, wood, or aluminum. The G90 gives you a standard tactile experience that other luxury car makers would charge you for. Genesis feels that their luxury flagship sedan should come with everything included.
If you want to be driven around in the G90, rather than drive it, Genesis has the perfect setup for you. In the rear, you will find two captains' chairs along with available rear-seat entertainment. You will also find power seat controls with their own memory functions, in case you have multiple passengers in the back, and you don't want them to mess up your seat settings. The G90 has seven selectable ambient interior colors so you can really set the mood. It also has automatic soft-close doors, so you never have to worry about the doors not being closed. Genesis knows that you may want your privacy in the back; that is why the G90 comes with power sunshades in the rear. They can keep out the sun and prying eyes. As soon as you take the G90 for a drive, you will notice how quiet it is, as it has been engineered to be extra insulated compared to the competition. This gets rid of road noise, and vibrations, making the interior of the G90 as calm and serene as you need it to be, even on the most stressful of days.
Design and Trim Levels
One of the first things you are going to notice as you approach the G90 is that it looks like nothing else on the road. It has a modern minimalist design that helps it to stand out when compared to its competition. The G90 makes great use of strong body lines to draw your eyes to certain parts of the vehicle, making it look as if it was in perpetual motion. The G90 also has many luxury features that add to its modern design. The illuminated puddle approach lamps and the hands-free smart trunk are just some of the modern features that you only find on ultra-luxury vehicles. The approach lamps cast the Genesis logo on the street automatically as you approach, offering you and your passengers an extra level of security on dark nights. The G90's design looks sleek and stylish, as a proper flagship sedan should.
When it comes to trims on the G90 there are two to choose from. You can either get the standard Genesis G90 3.3T trim or the optional Genesis G90 5.0 trim. The 5.0 trim comes with most optional features as standard, like the rear entertainment system and the ventilated front seats. The other major difference between the two trim levels is the powertrain that you get. the 3.3T gives you a 3.3L twin-turbocharged V6, while the 5.0 gives you a more powerful 5.0L V8. You can get either trim in all-wheel-drive, which helps with handling around town.
