From the looks of it, the new G90 is no longer nipping at the heels of German luxury stalwarts like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A7. Instead, It\u2019s done playing mister nice guy, and it shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Genesis claims the all-new G90 showcases the most elegant interpretation of the brand\u2019s \u201cAthletic Elegance\u201d design philosophy shared with other Genesis models like the G80, GV70, and GV80. However, it\u2019s also packing a neat array of tech and performance features to make luxury car buyers scream in delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2023 Genesis G90: Setting The Stage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyundai\u2019s luxury arm Genesis started life in 2015 after briefly flirting with a two-door, rear-wheel drive sports car called the Genesis Coupe. The first proper Genesis branded cars to grace U.S. showrooms were the G80 and G90. The former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/2022-genesis-g80-overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">entered its third generation<\/a> in 2020, while the all-new, second-gen G90 is making a grand entrance in 2022 as a 2023 model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flagship Styling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hate to admit it, but we wish the 2023 Genesis G90\u2019s styling deviated slightly from the G80. Of course, we\u2019re not saying the new G90 is a bad-looking car \u2013 it\u2019s the exact opposite. We\u2019re drooling over its crest-style grille (listen up, Lexus and BMW, this is how you make a prominent grille) and the thinnest headlights ever fitted on a Genesis model or any modern car, for that matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultra-slim design was made possible by intercrossing the daytime running light lenses with the turn signals, high beams, and micro-lens array (MLA) low beams. The latter combines 200 micro-optic lenses per module, projecting the same light intensity level in a sleeker package. Genesis said those lights reinforce the G90\u2019s high-tech image, and they\u2019re right on the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other fancy design cues include a clamshell hood (that integrates the fenders and bonnet), thicker C-pillars, two-line rear taillights, bulbous fenders, and a sharp parabolic line running from the hood to the trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1-1024x613.jpg\" alt=\"2023 Genesis G90.\" class=\"wp-image-388209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1-770x461.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1-1536x920.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1-500x299.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1-293x175.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1-1400x838.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-1.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>2023 Genesis G90. Photo: Genesis Motor America.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turbo V6 Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Say goodbye to the previous G90\u2019s torquey 5.0-liter V8 engine. The new G90 has inherited the G80\u2019s twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 mill pumping out 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft. of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, and the engine sends power to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the range-topping G90 has a more potent version of the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6. It has the same all-wheel drivetrain and eight-speed automatic as the non-supercharged variant. Genesis added a 48-volt electric supercharger to the mix, boosting the engine output to 409 horsepower and 405 lb-ft. of torque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quiet Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Genesis was not mincing words when it said the G90 offers the comfortable and quiet driving performance consumers expect from a flagship sedan. It has a multi-chamber air suspension that alters pressure in the air springs to deliver more comfort and stability. Those air springs can raise or lower the ride height depending on existing road conditions, and they can maintain a level body regardless of the interior payload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The G90 has &#8220;Ergo-Relaxing&#8221; seats with 10 air cells on the seatback and two in the cushion to support four massaging modes, including whole body, waist, half-body, or pelvis. Those ergo seats also remove air from the side bolsters when passengers enter or exit the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the silent part is courtesy of an advanced noise-canceling system that Genesis calls ANC-R or Active Noise Control-Road. The system detects the faintest noise from the road surface and feeds opposing frequencies to the speakers for a quieter ride. In addition, the car benefits from extensive sound-deadening materials and fully-laminated glass throughout to further shield the cabin from wind noise. After looking at the specs, we are sure the 2023 G90 will be just as nice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/2020-genesis-g90-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as the 2020 model<\/a> we drove two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brilliant Tech Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did we say S-Class? The 2023 Genesis G90 is brimming with tech features. It has auto flush door handles, auto-closing doors, and a fingerprint ID system for keyless driving. It even has a wide-angle camera-based remote parking assist system that supports perpendicular, parallel, and diagonal parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Genesis said the all-new G90 is a glimpse into the automaker\u2019s vision for the future of mobility. It has a Mood Curator that controls the ambient lighting, fragrance system, massaging seats, electric curtains, and the 23-speaker Bang &amp; Olufsen audio system to improve driver and passenger wellness while on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it has a digital instrument cluster and a massive infotainment screen. Still, rear passengers can fiddle with an eight-inch armrest touchscreen to set the climate control, seat position, ambient lighting, curtains, and massage settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"2023 Genesis G90 interior layout. \" class=\"wp-image-388212\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4-1400x1051.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-Genesis-G90-4.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>2023 Genesis G90 interior layout.

It has 10 airbags, standard tire pressure monitoring, and a heads-up display. Moreover, driving assistance systems like blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, forward collision avoidance, smart cruise control (with Stop &amp; Go), and highway driving assist are standard fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warranty Coverage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every Genesis vehicle is covered by a 10-year\/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, which is one of the longest on the market. If you plan on driving your G90 more than usual, an extended warranty may benefit you. Before you make a decision, see&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/reviews\/warranty\/genesis-warranty\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this comprehensive guide<\/a>&nbsp;to Genesis extended warranties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2023 Genesis G90: Pricing &amp; Trim Levels <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Genesis G90 will be available in two generously-equipped trim models: 3.5T AWD and 3.5T AWD w\/ 48V e-Supercharger.

It has 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, power-closing doors, a hands-free trunk, rain-sensing wipers, Nappa leather upholstery, a microsuede headliner, heated\/ventilated front and rear seats, tri-zone climate control, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a Bang &amp; Olufsen premium audio system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the top-of-the-line G90 starts at $99,795, including destination. It has all the standard equipment from the base G90. Still, Genesis added more goodies like the multi-chamber air suspension, rear-wheel steering, 21-inch alloy wheels, power doors, ventilated rear seats with memory settings, an upgraded Bang &amp; Olufsen 3D audio system with 26 speakers, and rear wireless charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Alvin Reyes is an Automoblog feature columnist and an expert in sports and performance cars.
