OverviewGenesis's most luxurious model, the G90 sedan, has received a dramatic redesign for the 2023 model year that brings it into the modern era. Exterior styling is inspired by the G80 sedan and GV80 SUV but with a few unique touches that symbolize the G90's place at the top of the company's model hierarchy. A twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 is under the hood as the standard powertrain and it makes a stout 375 horsepower. Rather than the 5.0-liter V-8 that was an upgrade engine in the 2022 model, a 409-hp version of the twin-turbo V-6 is offered, and it uses an electric supercharger to increase its output. Both powertrains are smooth and quiet, which helps the G90's cabin remain a relaxing place, designed to pamper occupants with a plethora of unexpected features. For example, an on-board fragrance diffuser can fill the space with a relaxing scent while an air purifier works to prevent odors from outside from filtering in. Standard power-operated doors serve as your own built-in valet, and all G90 models come decked out with nappa leather upholstery, genuine wood trim, and massaging front seats. Show
Where This Vehicle RanksWhat's New for 2023?The G90 has received a complete overhaul for 2023 that modernizes it and brings the flagship luxury sedan's styling in line with the rest of the Genesis lineup. Pricing and Which One to BuyThe G90 continues its value-focused strategy of undercutting the
Mercedes-Benz S-class, but its
starting price has increased significantly over the 2022 model. The G90 is essentially loaded with all manner of technology and luxury features, so the only choices are exterior and interior
colors and to pick from the base turbo V-6 or the more powerful turbocharged and supercharged version. Of course, we'd pick the latter. Going with the E-supercharged model also maxes out the G90's features, with reclining rear seats with heat, ventilation, and massage. Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceThe G90 has ditched its 5.0-liter V-8 engine this year in favor of a twin-turbocharged V-6 that's offered in two potencies; both are paired to an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The standard engine makes 375 horsepower but the E-supercharged model makes 409 ponies and uses the 48-volt hybrid system and an electric supercharger to boost the output from the twin-turbo V-6. With the higher-output engine under its hood, the G90 rocketed to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, which is an impressively quick time for such a large sedan. An air suspension is optional, and the G90 features a Chauffeur driving mode intended to create an extra-smooth experience for passengers. Our first test drive was with a G90 that featured the more powerful of the two powertrains and the air springs, which delivered a superb ride and effortless acceleration. Handling isn't sports-sedan crisp, but the G90 holds its own in corners. Enthusiast drivers won't find much in the way of driving thrills, but those who buy the G90 for its relaxing demeanor will find themselves satisfied. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGThe most efficient G90 will be the one with the 375-hp twin-turbo V-6. That model is rated for 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. Going with the more powerful 409-hp powertrain drops those numbers to 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. On our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test route, the G90 with the E-supercharged engine delivered 29 mpg. For more information about the G90's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and CargoLike the exterior, the G90's cabin gets an overhaul for 2023 too, with a fresh design and posh materials that will help it go head to head with rivals such as the Audi A8 and the BMW 7-series. Passenger space is generous in both the front and the back seats, and Genesis has incorporated several features intended to take the luxury experience up a notch. An onboard fragrance diffuser, for example, and an anti-microbial sanitation system that cleans both the air and items that are brought into the car such as smartphones. Of course, features such as massaging front seats and a premium stereo system are also included. All models come with soft, nappa leather upholstery, power-operated rear sunshades, and active noise cancellation to keep the cabin whisper quiet. The rear seats can be made to recline and can also be equipped with massagers. Infotainment and ConnectivityGenesis's latest infotainment interface is rendered crisply on a
12.3-inch display which also features navigation and SiriusXM satellite radio; a separate 12.3-inch screen serves as a digital gauge display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also included, but sadly require a cord—an odd feature in the time of wireless connectivity. All models come with a Bang and Olufsen stereo system, but the E-supercharged comes with an upgraded version complete with 23 speakers and a mode that simulates the acoustics of a concert hall. A head-up display and a wireless
smartphone charging pad are also included. Safety and Driver-Assistance FeaturesEvery version comes standard with lots of driver-assistance technology, including automatic high beams and an adaptive cruise control system with a lane-centering feature.

Key safety features include:
Warranty and Maintenance CoverageNot only does Genesis provide the longest warranty coverage in its class, it also includes complimentary scheduled maintenance and other perks such as a complimentary service where dealership staff will pick up the G90 and take it in for service on your behalf.
