Launched for 2017, the G90 giant sedan has been redesigned for 2023, that includes recent exterior and inside styling, up to date cabin know-how, and a brand new prime drivetrain choice.
The 2023 G90 is obtainable in two trim ranges, every decided primarily by powertrain. The usual 3.5T AWD is powered by a 375-horsepower 3.5-liter turbocharged V6. Changing a 5.0-liter V8 as the highest engine providing—and prime trim stage—is the three.5T E-Supercharger AWD, which options an electrical supercharger and mild-hybrid help and is rated at 409 horsepower.
The three.5T AWD begins at $88,400, whereas the E-Supercharger AWD begins at $98,700. Our take a look at automotive, with vacation spot cost and premium paint got here to $101,295—making G90 the primary Genesis product to crack the $100,000 barrier.
On the highway the E-Supercharger drivetrain is surprisingly refined, and really fast. Energy is on the market virtually instantly, and there’s loads of oomph left for passing and merging at greater speeds.

The brand new G90 boasts a deft melding of journey consolation and informal sportiness, although no severe driver will ever accuse Genesis engineers of getting constructed a canyon carver. That mentioned, the G90 is simply sporty sufficient to maintain issues fascinating.
The cabin itself is lavishly appointed. As I’ve famous relating to the interiors of different Genesis merchandise, there may be nothing right here that will not be acceptable in a Bentley. And for the indulgent, might we advocate the Genesis Temper Curator? The system, which options Vitality, Delight, Consolation, and Care modes, manipulates cabin sound, lighting, curtains, therapeutic massage, and even scent, to supply a fastidiously crafted in-cabin expertise. You solely suppose that is overkill till you’ve skilled the Curator from the passenger seat on an extended journey. Although, even then, it’s fairly excessive.

The G90 isn’t the flagship sedan discount it as soon as was, although the G90 is not meaningfully subordinate when it comes to know-how or content material to the large German sedans both. And when it comes to styling, we predict the G90 stands alone.

G-90’s seems to be are placing (a bit attention-getting in reality). Nevertheless, the take a look at automotive’s flat white paint had the impact of wanting considerably soiled even when the automotive was fairly clear.
Inside room—headroom and legroom—is nice in each rows. Properly appointed seats are comfy. Rear occupants get pleasure from power-adjustable seats with a management console that additionally provides them a say in local weather and audio picks (although it restricts capability to simply two in again).
The trunk is extensive and deep. General house is beneficiant—it must be since rear the seats don‘t retract as in smaller vehicles.
The G90 proves a luxurious automotive doesn’t want a maddeningly advanced infotainment system. Entry to options is simple to determine; the display is a “toucher” that makes direct picks potential for individuals who favor that type of operation. Driving and comfort controls are inside simple attain of the driving force. (There’s one thing concerning the angled blades on both aspect of the instrument cluster with trunk-release and panel-lighting buttons that jogs my memory of overdone “space-age” instrument arrays on Chrysler makes, circa 1961.)

Although a fairly large automotive by right now’s requirements, the G90 drives prefer it’s a bit smaller than it’s. Journey is fairly comfortable with out going flabby, even in “Consolation,” or overly stiff in “Sport.” I felt a couple of odd standing begins—momentarily delayed, then abruptly engaged—however this wasn’t constant. The engine was pretty quiet beneath concerted acceleration, and it delivered simple cruising and passing energy.
