2024 Genesis G90

2024 Genesis G90
Starting at $91.000

Highs: Class-appropriate design and interior-material quality, quiet and smooth ride, simple two-tier pricing structure with plenty of standard features.
Lows: Handling dynamics trail the best from Europe, no wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto capability, a lingering lack of brand recognition.
Verdict: No longer playing catch-up, the G90 now stands on its own merits as a worthy alternative to the famous-label luxury sedans—at a more attractive price.

Overview
Redesigned for 2023, the 2024 Genesis G90 continues in its role as the automaker's flagship and most luxurious sedan. The styling bears a familial resemblance to the G80 sedan and GV80 SUV, primarily in its stacked gun-slit headlamps and modified pentagonal grille, but the G90 retains a few unique identifiers to signal its status. Power is provided by a 375-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, but a high-output 409-hp version fitted with an electric supercharger in addition to the turbos is available for buyers looking for maximum thrust. Both provide the type of smooth, velvety power required to compete in the class, and the opulent cabin follows through on the promise. Nappa leather upholstery is standard, as are massaging front seats and genuine wood trim. Unexpected features include an onboard fragrance diffuser that can fill the space with a relaxing scent while an air purifier works to prevent odors from outside from filtering in. The G90 provides a ride-and-handling balance worthy of an executive sedan, but the chassis tuning is just a tad less sharp than the best from Europe.

What's New for 2024?
Fully redesigned for 2023, the G90 carries over to 2024 with minimal changes.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Base: $91,000 (est)
E-supercharged: $100,000 (est)

A significant price jump accompanied the G90's 2023 redesign, but it still undercuts European competitors the Mercedes-Benz S-class and most BMW 7-series models. Plus, both G90 models come fully stocked, leaving exterior and interior colors the primary order-sheet concerns. The chief G90 buyer decision is whether to spring for the more powerful turbocharged and supercharged version or stay with the base model. Of course, we'd pick the latter. The approximately $10k upcharge represents about 10 percent of the overall purchase price, which in this high-ambition segment is a stone-cold deal. In addition to the added power, it also brings an air suspension, reclining rear seats with heat, ventilation, and massage, and upgraded audio.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Part of the 2023 redesign objective was to bring the G90's interior up to par with rivals such as the Audi A8 and the BMW 7-series. The entirely new design pairs with posh materials and a host of standard features. Passenger space is generous in both the front and the back seats, Nappa leather is standard, as are ventilated-and-heated front seats with massage function, power sunshades, active noise cancellation technology and premium audio. There's also an onboard fragrance diffuser, for example, and an anti-microbial sanitation system that cleans the air, according to Genesis. G90 E-supercharged models get reclining rear seats with ventilation and a massage function.
