The best luxury car for the money

After leasing this car for almost 4 months it is very hard to find anything that I don’t like. It is already my third Genesis, first two under Hyundai brand. Every new iteration is significantly better in ride, comfort and look. The third one beats everything I drove so far. The 3.3 bi-turbo engine is so alive and powerful especially in sports mode, it feels like a sports limousine, the ride can be adjusted however you like it, interior well made, comfortable and very, very quiet. The whole infotainment system work well and looks great, all around cameras top notch. Also it has free text mode touch screen that is very useful for quick address entry in navigation system. I found out very few people know about it. Safety systems are all included even in Basic model and work very good. Love head up display. Beautiful color adjustable ambient lights. If I want to be very picky I can say gas mileage could be better, adjustable rear seats should be an option for every trim but then I have to think really hard. Overall I’m very happy with my choice. Great job team Genesis. PS We like it so much both of my sons got G80s and they love it.

Not quite there

My 2018 G90 is an awsome ride and so comfortable and state of the art. However, I am starting to have some issues and the nearest dealer is about 85 miles away. On day one the trunk did not want to open by itself. The dealer couldn't fix, but I did. I lenghtened rubber stops to preload the lid to help it release. About 2 years later and at 7,000 miles, the battery died and wouldn't take a charge. Still under 3 year valet warranty, they came and picked it up, replaced battery and returned. Now, I find out that the connective serivice will no longer work on my vehicle after Dec. 2022 due to 3G going away. I am shocked to hear that Genesis wasn't on top of this to built my car with 5G technology. Right now I am fighting with my local service department to replace a right tail light that was defective and falling apart. My vehicle has just under 9,900 miles on it. It never sees much sun, rain or any snow. Always garaged and stored for the winter. I am not having a very good feeling about it's future. Especially after my experience with a Hyundai Azera that went up in flames and Hyundai denied any responsibility. UPDATE: Now has 15K miles and 6 years later. Still a great riding car, but without connective service available. Several recalls that warn of a fire hazard with very long wait time for fixes. Waiting for months. Told not to park in or next to a building. I guess that means don't take it anywhere that you might be parking next to someone else's vehicle.

Really impressed with the g90. Had a Avalon touring model which was an exceptional vehicle but this ride takes it to the next level.

Genesis assembled the best of the best, engineers and design team from Bentley,bmw,Audi and other major auto makers. They started with a blank sheet of paper and used all their resources and suppliers from the major manufacturers they worked for. The result is an outstanding design with excellent components, sourced from the best suppliers. It really doesn’t get any better than this. If you drive it, you will love it and buy one. Fit finish are excellent Electronics are the best available Suspension is not as tight as the German cars, but that’s what you would expect in a luxury sedan Missing a double sun roof Some interior pieces could be improved Non of the above is a deal breaker
