The 2023 Genesis G90: A Flagship Sedan With Unmatched Elegance

The 2023 Genesis G90 arrives with a complete redesign, taking this luxury sedan to a place of greater interest. This new Genesis sedan is ready to turn heads.

Genesis dropped the larger engine from the lineup, giving every model of this flagship sedan a 3.5-liter turbocharged 6-cylinder engine. The base trim has AWD and plenty of power, but the higher trim adds an e-Supercharger to the mix to bring more power and quicker acceleration via a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Both mate to an 8-speed automatic transmission which handles the shifting extremely well.

Let’s explore the two versions of the new generation of the Genesis G90.

What does the 3.5T AWD base model include?

The power delivered by the base version of the G90 is 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. This is certainly more than enough to make this car exciting and fun to drive. Fuel mileage hits 18 city/26 hwy mpg, which is more than adequate for a flagship luxury sedan.
Some of the great features you’ll find in this base trim include:

• Electronically controlled suspension
• 20-inch alloy wheels
• Panoramic sunroof
• Power-close doors
• Hands-free power trunk lid
• Rain-sensing wipers
• LED headlights and taillights
• Power-folding auto-dimming outboard mirrors
• Heated power-adjustable steering wheel

How comfortable is the G90?

You can drive the base version of the Genesis G90, and your passengers will be perfectly comfortable and happy. This trim gives you Nappa leather upholstery covering the 16-way power-adjustable front seats with massage, heat, and ventilation. Rear passengers have heated seats, and everyone can admire the wood accents and Mood Curator lighting system, which adjusts the ambient lighting to a color to make the ride more pleasant.

One the tech side of comfort, you’ll find tri-zone automatic climate controls and an auto-dimming rearview mirror in this sedan. This big Genesis also provides a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, five USB ports, wireless phone charging, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.

Does this Genesis keep you safe?

You expect a modern luxury car to have all the safety features required to ensure you stay out of trouble while on the road. The G90 includes an extensive bundle of safety features, such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, lane-following assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a standard head-up display. You’ll also enjoy the benefits of rear cross-traffic alerts with automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, high-beam assist, speed-limit assist, driver attention warning, a surround-view camera, front-rear park assist, and remote smart park assist.

The base model of the Genesis G90 is so well equipped you might wonder what the higher trim can do to build on this amazing car. Let’s find out.

What does the e-Supercharger model bring to the table?

The higher trim level of the G90 adds an e-Supercharger, which is the term Genesis uses for the 48-volt mild-hybrid system, to give you more power. This model delivers 409 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. Don’t let the hybrid aspect fool you; this trim is not more efficient than the base model, returning 17 city/24 hwy mpg.
Some of the features added to this upper crust G90 include:

• Rear-wheel steering
• Multi-chamber air suspension
• 21-inch alloy wheels
• Easy-close power doors
• Ventilated power-adjustable rear seats with massage
• Rear-seat vanity mirrors

Does this higher trim provide better tech and entertainment?

If you go for the gusto and drive the Genesis G90 3.5T e-Supercharger AWD, which is really a mouthful to say, you’ll find a better sound system. This higher trim receives a 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D premium audio system to provide amazing sound quality throughout the cabin. You’ll also find a second wireless phone charger for the rear seat as part of the standard packaging.

Is the G90 a comfortable car?

All the impressive features can’t replace a quiet cabin and lots of legroom. Thankfully, the G90 is the flagship luxury sedan and, as such, brings a spacious cabin filled with luxurious features to the market. You’ll find plenty of legroom in both rows and might want to ride in the rear, where you can stretch out your legs and just enjoy the ride. The power rear sunshades make it easy to turn down the light and relax in the rear when you just want to close your eyes for a few minutes.

Which version of the new 2023 Genesis G90 is the right model for you? Will you stick with the impressively equipped base version or go for more power and comfort in the e-Supercharger trim?
