Some flagship luxury sedans might treat "value" like a four-letter word, but it's the guiding principle for the 2022 Genesis G90. Pairing the features and interior space of a large sedan with the price of a midsize, the G90 offers luxury buyers tremendous bang for the buck. If the perceived prestige of a German badge isn't terribly important to you, the G90 will provide pretty much everything you want from a large luxury sedan at a fraction of the price.
That isn't to say the G90 is the be-all, end-all of the class, however. Rivals are generally more engaging to drive and offer a greater breadth of customization. While you can get an LED-accented panoramic sunroof on the BMW 7 Series or fragrance that wafts through the air vents in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the G90 really just gives you the choice between two trims and exterior paint. But it's an excellent pick if you want the hallmarks of a large luxury sedan and don't want to pay six figures for the privilege. For a full breakdown of the G90's hits and misses, check out our Expert Rating below.

Genesis G90 vs. the competition
2021 Genesis G90
2021 Genesis G80
Genesis G90 vs. Genesis G80
The Genesis G80 is to midsize sedans what the G90 is to the full-size class. Both vehicles have competitive interior space and features in their respective segments, at a price level much lower than rivals. The G80 is the smaller and less expensive of the two, but it's more fun to drive, and most of the G90's equipment is available on the options sheet.
Genesis G90 vs. Lexus LS 500
Lexus' legendary build quality is on full display, especially if you select the Executive package, which includes glass trim and quilted-fabric door trim. It's an impressive vehicle, but the G90 provides better value. The Lexus is also a little sloppier at handling high-speed curves.
Genesis G90 vs. Mercedes-Benz S-Class
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has set the standard for the full-size luxury segment for years, and it shows no sign of slowing down with this year's full redesign. The new S-Class comes with an intoxicating lineup of features, including a three-dimensional instrument panel, a high-tech head-up display, a suspension that leans the body into turns, and an upcoming hands-free driving system. It costs much more than the G90, but uncompromising shoppers might not consider anything else.
