byAlex Nishimoto^{Correspondent
Alex Nishimoto has worked in the automotive industry since 2007. He was a staff writer for MotorTrend for 10 years and since then has contributed to CNET, PRI, AutoWise and other publications.}

Pros

All versions come fully loaded
Delivers exceptional luxury for far less money than competitors
Refined suspension smooths out the roughest roads
Lavish rear seat accommodations on V8 models

Cons

Limited driving excitement
Subpar fuel economy
Lacks the cachet of European rivals
A next-generation G90 is around the corner

What's new

Revised front and rear styling, including new headlights and taillights
Navigation gets over-the-air updates and cloud-based voice and routing
Part of the first G90 generation introduced for 2017

If you're buying a flagship luxury sedan, you usually don't brag about how little you paid for it. But you just might if you buy a Genesis G90. The G90 is a large luxury sedan with all the space and many of the same features of its more prestigious German competitors but at a substantially lower price.

The G90 comes almost fully loaded, with only a few extras unlocked when you choose the top model. In the back of the G90, you'll find ample legroom, heated rear seats and power window sunshades. The V8 model adds to that cooled rear seats, a rear entertainment system, illuminated vanity mirrors and a 14-way power-adjustable passenger-side rear seat. Competitors like the BMW 7 Series, Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class might do the rear-seat VIP thing better, but the G90 is a great choice if you want that limousine experience for less. Read our in-depth Expert Rating to find out if the Genesis G90 is right for you.

What's it like to live with?

Check out how our 2017 Genesis G90 performed in Edmunds' long-term test. We spent a year and 20,000 miles with the G90, finding out what we liked and didn't like and taking the (relatively) new luxury car on a lot of road trips.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

7.9 /10

Large luxury sedans usually aren't known for their outstanding value, but the Genesis G90 plays by its own rules. The G90 packs more features than sedans that can cost tens of thousands of dollars more. It's not as sporty or opulent as its pricier competition, but if you just want a cruiser that transports four in supreme comfort, the G90 might be right for you.

Rated for you by America’s best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the G90 drive? The V8-powered G90 posts solid performance numbers, but it isn't satisfying to drive in the way its German rivals are. In Edmunds' testing, our rear-wheel-drive G90 test car accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. That's a tad slow for the class, especially considering our car had the more powerful engine. It also doesn't feel all that powerful accelerating on the highway because the transmission can be slow to respond when you want a downshift.

Steering effort is luxury-light. Genesis dialed out pretty much all road feedback in exchange for more insulated comfort. That's OK in this case since the G90 isn't made to be hustled. It's not as responsive as the German competition, but it isn't terrible either for such a comfort-oriented land yacht. All around, the G90 is an easy-riding car that does what you expect.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the G90? As with all large luxury sedans, the G90 is eminently comfortable for four people. The leather is soft and supple, and the cushioning is rich and luxurious. Opting for the V8 also adds power-adjustable outboard rear seats, so even those passengers can adjust their seatback tilt, seat bottom position and lumbar support.

The G90's ride is soft and cushy, but not so much that there's bounciness that could lead to your passengers feeling queasy. Some sharper bumps do get passed through the cabin, and going over speed bumps causes a porpoising motion that reminds you this is a big, heavy car.

The standard tri-zone climate control works well, and all outboard seats have three-level heating and ventilation. The G90 also does an excellent job of isolating occupants from outside noise.

Interior

9.0/10

How’s the interior? The G90's interior is vast. The door openings are large and easily entered. There's plenty of legroom, headroom and shoulder room for everyone in the outboard seats. The rear middle is the only exception. It's narrower than the other seats, and the rear hump on the floor gets in the way of the middle passenger's legs.

Visibility from the driver's seat is good all round, and the standard 360-degree camera makes parking a cinch. The driver's seat is highly configurable and includes adjustments to side bolstering, thigh extension and upper back recline. As for the G90's controls, most are easy to figure out and use. You can interface with the infotainment system through the touchscreen or the controller knob. The on-screen menus are straightforward.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? Considering its emphasis on value, it's no surprise the G90 comes with a full suite of safety features. There are clearly marked physical buttons for most of them, so you can turn them on and off easily. Also standard is a 17-speaker audio system. It's not as immersive as the ultra-high-end systems found in some rival sedans, but it sounds clear and punchy. Nobody except hardcore audiophiles will be disappointed.

We were slightly let down by the number of power ports. There's only a wireless charging pad up front, plus two USB ports split between front and rear passengers. To get more charging capability, you'll have to use an adapter in one of the G90's three 12-volt outlets spread throughout the cabin. The voice control software is quite good, and the navigation system picked up every curveball we threw at it.

Storage

7.0/10

How’s the storage? The G90's trunk space, at 15.7 cubic feet, is slightly smaller than average. On the upside, the tall opening makes it easy to load items in. You can also stand behind the bumper for a few seconds to trigger the automatic trunk-opening feature.

Storage within the cabin is disappointing. The door pockets are short and narrow, and the bin up front that houses the wireless charging pad is small. Plugging a phone into the USB port there creates a tangled mess of wires.

The large door openings and a tremendous amount of rear space make it easy to fit a child safety seat into the back. But the car seat anchor points are kind of buried in the seat cushions, so you'll have to hunt around a bit to find them.

Fuel Economy

6.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates that the V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive G90 gets 19 mpg combined (16 city/24 highway). The turbocharged V6 gets just 1 mpg better in every metric. This is more a condemnation of the V6's fuel economy than praise for the V8 since both are thirstier than rivals. Since competitors no longer use naturally aspirated V8s, the closest widely adopted alternative is a turbo V6. For example, the Mercedes S 450 is rated at 22 mpg combined while the BMW 740i is rated at 24 mpg.

Value

8.5/10

Is the G90 a good value? If you've never gotten into the cabin of one of its more expensive German competitors, you probably will find no issue with the G90's interior. Open-pore wood and aluminum accents look great, and high-quality leather covers almost every surface.

However, the overall design and breadth of customization are a little underwhelming compared to an S-Class or 7 Series, which feature additional luxury touches such as configurable ambient lighting and exotic trim options. But those features add a lot of cost, and this fully loaded G90 costs about $25,000 less than a similarly equipped rival.

The Genesis G90 comes with a great warranty. It offers five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage. Genesis also gives you free maintenance for the first three years/36,000 miles.

Wildcard

7.0/10

The Genesis G90 isn't the kind of car that you pine away for when you aren't driving it. Performance metrics are average across the board, and while it remains composed around a set of switchbacks, there's no real enjoyment in pushing it hard. Styling elements are cribbed from other manufacturers — the grille looks like it was stolen from an Acura and the headlights are similar to a Volvo's — but they mesh to make the car less anonymous than older G90s. Plus, rear passengers will love the accommodations.

Which G90 does Edmunds recommend?

Unless you plan on being chauffeured most of the time, the 3.3T Premium will be more than enough. Its turbocharged V6 is about as quick as the eight-cylinder in the V8 Ultimate, and the only things you miss out on with that model is the adjustable right rear seat and other backseat upgrades.

Genesis G90 models

The 2022 Genesis G90 is a large luxury sedan that is offered in two models distinguished by engine type. The G90 3.3T Premium comes with a turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 (365 horsepower, 376 lb-ft of torque) while the 5.0 Ultimate steps up to a 5.0-liter V8 engine (420 hp, 383 lb-ft). Both are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. All-wheel drive is available as an option.

3.3T Premium
The 3.3T Premium comes loaded to the gills with features that include:

19-inch alloy wheels
Adaptive suspension dampers
Sunroof
Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
Faux suede headliner
Ambient interior lighting
Tri-zone automatic climate control
Power side and rear sunshades
Heated steering wheel
Heated and ventilated front seats
Heated rear sets
12.3-inch touchscreen
17-speaker Lexicon audio system
Wireless charging pad

Every G90 is also equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features, such as:

Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Genesis and the car in front)
Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
Blind-spot camera (displays an image of the vehicle's blind spot in the instrument panel when you activate a turn signal)
Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the G90 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

5.0 Ultimate
Besides the V8 engine, the 5.0 Ultimate adds:

Rear-seat entertainment system
Ventilated, reclining rear seats with lumbar adjustment and memory settings
Power rear window sunshades
Power-adjustable rear headrests
Illuminated rear vanity mirrors

Genesis G90 vs. the competition

2022 Genesis G90

2022 BMW 7 Series

Genesis G90 vs. BMW 7 Series

Today's BMW 7 Series is a reasonably enjoyable luxury sedan to drive, especially when compared against the Genesis G90. The 7 Series' base turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six delivers adequate thrust, and the speed-adjustable steering makes it easy to maneuver in parking lots and responsive on twisty roads. But the G90 provides superior value and is backed by a longer warranty.

Compare Genesis G90 & BMW 7 Series features

Genesis G90 vs. Lexus LS 500

The Lexus LS is the G90's closest competitor in terms of price, and they have a few things in common. For one, despite the Lexus' striking design themes inside and out, the LS isn't that engaging to drive. Instead, the LS' strength lies in its quiet, comfortable ride. Unfortunately for the Lexus, the Genesis does this better and offers a more impressive and luxurious cabin.

Compare Genesis G90 & Lexus LS 500 features

Genesis G90 vs. Mercedes-Benz S-Class

The Mercedes S-Class has long been the benchmark in the flagship luxury sedan class, and the newest model is no different. With that said, the Genesis G90 will find it hard to compete with Mercedes' best. The S-Class is quieter and more comfortable, has better available tech, and is surprisingly fuel-efficient thanks to a standard mild hybrid system. Of course, you'll pay significantly more for even a base model S-Class.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Genesis G90?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
