For 2020 the Genesis G90 has undergone a mid-cycle refresh. The engine and mechanical elements carry over largely unchanged, but Genesis’s flagship sedan boasts some notable improvements for 2020. The exterior has been thoroughly re-worked, transforming the G90’s style from covert and understated to assertive and confident. Genesis has also instilled the G90 with a range of new safety and infotainment features. The 2020 G90 is clearly a better car but can it possibly compete with full-size luxury sedan icons like the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class? Join Kelley Blue Book’s Micah Muzio as he weighs in.

Amazing how underrated the Genesis brand is year after year even after producing fantastically designed cars for a fraction of the competitions cost.
I love this car for several reasons.
1) No gloss black trim.
2) Actual buttons! No buried controls in touch screen sub menus.
3) No pretense of “sportiness.” Just unapologetic plushness.
The tail lights look extremely classy too!
Can you please repeat point #3 *a 1000 times* ....Are you listening to that Lexus?? Thank You!
Such an underrated car. And they depreciate like crazy just like any large luxury sedan, great value used.
Hoping to snag a cheap one out of college maybe...
They depreciate for a reason, cuz u dont see a gs or rx depreciating like crazy this are still crappy cars.
@@gigi9467 All executive luxury cars in this segment have massive depreciation, and the G90 doesn't even come close to the A8, S-Class, 7-Series, or XJ in that regard. The LS barely holds its value either. The only car in the segment that does is the Tesla Model S. I guess by your moronic definition the S-Class is a worse car than the Tesla. Please, stop humiliating yourself in every Hyundai/Kia/Genesis comments section. You're an embarrassment.
@@gigi9467 Maseratis costing $100k+ depreciate quicker than gravity pulling you down a cliff. Its the worst offender ever. Rolls Royce Phantoms cost $500k and plummet to half its value in 4 yrs. That's more than $1000/week in cash burn. Is it a crappy car? Maserati is a chrysler with a badge. Rolls Royce a BMW with 12 cows sacrificed for their leather.
Johan Cha what the hell is ur point??? Lol am guessing its ok to be stupid and buy a crappy korean car is that it?? Lol
This car has unexpectedly strong presence when seen in real life. I personally preferred K900 for having better interior, but when I saw both vehicles in real life. I was amazed at the G90's imposing face. Especially the day time running lights look amazing. They have great brightness and are longer than you think.
Oh man that rear end is elegant.
Fahim Kalam some reason the rear reminds me of a Lincoln continental
For a new luxury brand, the new design makes it look as if Genesis is already an institution like other established luxury car brands. This is what Lexus did back in the day.
Im in love with those retro wheels
Gorgeous car and a real testament to the attention to detail and quality they are producing by listening to their clients. 👏🏻👏🏻
This looks better than those Audi’s
It’s called an s8 and a8
As someone who as driven 2 Audis, an a5 and an a7, I gotta agree.. this genesis is sweet
This is what a big luxury car should look like. I’m quite impressed.
this car has such a gangster vibe..like the perfect mafioso car
It's the go-to sedan for Korean chaebols (1%-ers).
@4:10 the Genesis looks more prestigious compared to the Audi
so true...didnt realize when I watched the video...thanks to you
Yeah, it’s one of those cars that just makes everything look cheap.
So much more presence with the Genesis, something that a King would drive.
matter of opinion
Considering how this car will likely be used, those rims look vintage classy.
If I were to win the Lotto and were shopping for an S-class / 7-series / A8 / LS, I would certainly consider this G90 in the top trim (rear seat info tablets), because that trim comes with a DVD player in the glove box, to play my 2000+ CD collection thru.
We are now in an automotive era where a Korean brand is out Cadillac - ing Cadillac, and Cadillac has become a failed cut and paste wannabe of a German brand. Good for Genesis on remembering what a luxury sedan is supposed to be. And lets hope Cadillac and Lincoln right their sedan ships. It would be a shame for the heritage of the American sedan to be lost.
Not to get too political but it has a lot to do with American leadership. When Hyundai and KiA introduced these luxury models, they quickly took all feedback (positive and negative) and updated / refined these products. GM / Ford take too long to make fixes and are prone to discontinue products not well received.
@@anthonycbrown1952 Absolutely. Ford is notorious for releasing a great car, then letting it rot, then discontinuing it because sales went down, failing to realize or admit that if they invested in relevant updates sales would never have faltered.
@J CR 😂😂😂
@@dmax5678 I love the new Lincoln Continental, too bad Lincoln is discontinuing it in favor of suv production. I get how how some of y'all like them German teutonic driving characteristics, but I'm old and old schooled. I like my ride plush and quiet. Sounds like the Genesis G90 is up my alley (or neighborhood).
Dmax5678 that is a spot on assessment in my humble opinion. Cadillac is definitely running out of steam.
Genesis did such a great job “updating” the G90; once they update the gauge cluster to a fully digital display, I believe it’ll take a significant portion of market share in the segment - especially with their potential reliability and concierge services. Look out Euro brands! 🔥 Great review as always!
donteadoss does it need a fully digital cluster?
@@ALMX5DP not really. Regular gauge clusters are super classy and age better than digital ones.
Keep dreaming it still stinks when u jump in it still has spotty reliability at best and a lexus is soooo much better in every way
Jesus H Medrano S-Class reliability is one of the worst and it still sells
@@gigi9467 The G90 has the highest ranked reliability in its segment according to Consumer Reports. Ironically the LS is dead last behind the S-Class and Model S. I see your idiotic comments in every Hyundai/Kia/Genesis video and I always find it amusing how the brand keeps you up at night stalking every video. Get a life you piece of trash.
This car won't attract any AMG shoppers. But anyone looking at the base or base plus models from the Germans would be foolish to not look at this too. This G90 is more powerful, better equipped, more luxurious and of course, more reliable than it's German rivals. And for 10's of thousands less. Hard to beat this car!
Thanks for the review but I can't believe that you still mention the heated seats as a feature for a car like this while you can get it on a Hyundai accent or toyota Corolla nowadays
This car will be a game changer
like the NSX years ago !
Genesis 》 luxurious reliable
affordable great looks !
great review !👍👍
New to your channel. Excellent reviews. Happy holidays. Al from PA
The grill just needs a giant S.
threepac3 genesiS
Superman approved
"It's not an S"
God damn g90 looks fly
Micah keeping up with the camera wink 😉 I like it!
The super man style grill is really eye catching when I saw it on road. And the wheels are really unique.
Not a fan of the design but target demographic isn't looking for aggressive styling so makes sense.
Financial Shinanigans thank you
Financial Shinanigans I think it looks pretty aggressive
G90 has such strong presence on the road while German cars are too common to have such presence.
Great review, I love the G90
When you click on the video and say I hope it’s Micah I hope it’s Micah.... It’s Micah!!!! Ok I’m I will continue to watch now lol
Others on the team have tried to mimic Micah's delivery style but only the original can make it happen. The same on the Autogefühl channel with Thomas.
Love the looks besides the rear end and it really should have a digital gauge cluster for the class or cars or competes in
I'd click "like" even if Micah was reviewing an empty bottle of soda.
I have the 2020 G90 3.3T. It is a very sweet ride and has horsepower when needed. I like not seeing another one for weeks on end, when driving through my city...
Were you able to try both motors, if so, was there a bug difference between the two?
Incredible value, I actually love the looks of the front end but disappointed with the rear, it looks dated already and not overly cohesive, but the rest of the car is gorgeous
For such a design, I believe Genesis is showing the motor industry they can make something of class and quality. However, it needs hybrid powertrains (to avoid congestion charges for low emission designated areas), turbo diesel for Europe markets, and 4 cylinder base models even.
But again for such a design, its either a like or loathe it. It may take a few more generations to match up with the Mercedes S Class. Genesis needs to price it on par with the German luxury brands for people to finally take notice.
Truth is, not many are looking to upgrade their rides to this class. It isnt a cashcow per se. People who can afford it will naturally get the German brands anyways.
I'm a Fedex driver so I see literally hundreds if not thousands of vehicles 5 days a week. I've seen one of these once, and I stared and stared like it was a Bugatti Chiron. It made a range rover Sport beside look utterly plastic and crude.
I've sat in one at an auto show as well and it's not the most cutting edge however it is somehow more contemporary and embodies a sense of well-being sitting in the back. The typical major Luxo-Limos had harsh rear seats with the exception of the G90 and Lexus LS.
People need to try this car out
Damn! I want one now.
Nice car , Two things i would change though , move the Turn indicators Back to the Mirrors from the fenders and the Put the Wing badge back on the trunk with the trunk release incorporated within it
Love it!
Can you do the comparison between the Genesis G90 and the Lexus LS please? Many reviewers compared it to a Mercedes S class but I wanna know how it measures up to Lexus LS.
Did you actually use the Lexicon system? I had a 2008 Genesis and it was awesome. It had the V-8 and the lexicon. What a car. Best car stereo I have ever heard. Plenty of power and extreme luxury. 85,000 miles in 3 years. Not one uncomfortable mile. Terrible trade in value.
In Korea.......say Super man grill...!! (with Korean BBQ) 😎🤣
I love 1970’s plush. Wish more cars are like that.
My dream luxury car one day ill have it one day...
love g90!
Once Genesis decides to focus on Marketing and Seperate dealerships their sales will grow even faster! Even with their slowly, but surely start, Infiniti couldn’t do what Genesis is doing...
In Korea there's a LWB model. Outstanding.
Awesome!!!!
I have a 2017 G90 5.0AWD and ordered a 2020 G90 5.0 AWD in Uyuni White
with the Beige/Havana last week. The only downside is I have to wait 2
to 3 months to get mine. Distribution in the US is abysmal. The G90 is a
fantastic bargain for the money. I shopped the A8, 750i and S-Class and
you get 90% of the luxury in the G90 at 70% of the price. Plus
exclusivity. I got my 2017 G90 in May 2017 and have only seen one other
in the almost 3 years. Biggest downside is they need to speed up the
standalone dealerships. Going to a Hyundai dealership to order a $79,000
car seems a bit ludicrous. Not that I have anything against Hyundai,
my other car is a Kona Ironman (yes I bought a Kona Ironman!). SO here I
sit anxiously awaiting my 2020 G90.
Could definitely do without that deep V grille. I’d have to cover it up.
As always an ON POINT and detailed review. Good job Micah
Thanks, Richard!
Front is a mix of Aston and Volvo with the lights, rear is Lincoln, its very interesting...
designer is from BMW and Audi
Review the Lincoln continental
Excellent review as usual Micah and KBB. Call me crazy, but if it was my money, I would rather have a Genesis G90 or Kia K900. If it was someone else's, I might actually feel the same way. 🤷♂️
I think I like the previous iteration's rear end than this new version's.
What’s quiet ? How many DB ?
looks great without a registration plate on the front grill.
Dream ❤️❤️❤️
If Micah isn’t reviewing it, I wouldn’t even consider the car 😂.
Fr fr 😂😂🤘
Hehe. Cheers!
Wow is is beautiful! But the grille looks very close to an Acura's
S class is still in a class of it's own
The issue with luxury cars with "sport" mode is that you only activate it 5% of the time... When I think "luxury", I think of a smooth, comfortable reclining sofa that massages your back whilst playing a soft song to you, so you can forget about the harshness of the realities of life. G90 is the reality. Forget sporty luxury cars. - I'm not buying them.
Looks cool, Ill wait 2-3 years and get a good used one for $25,000
Sorry bud they're still $40,000-60,000 3 years later
@@unpopularfacts4461 SoCal Craigslist, there are more than 6 right now in the low $30's
@@unpopularfacts4461 Sometimes, you just 'dont know, what you dont know...'
MORE LIKE $50k to $60k less than those over priced unreliable brands
The front grill was soooo much nicer on the older model!!!
I agree
Micah you have like the most sensitive back. If a carmaker can make your back comfortable they have done well indeed.
Is there a long wheelbase version?
No. Just one wheelbase.
Woah too bad there is no Genesis in the Philippines. Great review hehe been missing the reviews
Import one from a Korea... I'm sure you could do that
More like tens of thousands less.
The rear end reminds me of a Lincoln continental
Beautiful Car...Hideous Rims....!!!!
Genesis doing great
Did you film this in La Jolla?
MBAMG65 yes he did
If it weren't for the horizontal slice right through the middle of the headlamps, the overall exterior design would be extremely dumpy and generic. It's amazing how one design element makes all the difference.
Nice except those wheels they should atleast offer alternative mags as option.
2019 is much better looking.
When you think about it, the target demographic is definitely older gentleman or women looking for a luxurious ride. And it doesn’t hurt to have a great bargain, either.
William Atmur and more like uber and lift drivers using it instead of buying unreliable S class or 750i to pickup their dirty customers
All the Genesis G90 really needs is a power folding front license plate bracket. Nothing should be allowed to wreck the G90's beautiful face.
G90 good!!
All we need is a G90N with a twin turbo V8!
I do like the grill I don't like the wheels.
i own a 2017 g90 its probably the best car ive ever driven and ive drive s class 750
bmw's and jaguars and believe me when i tell you this car has it all and more people get in it and are amazed unfortunately the 2020 looks gaudy with that ridiculous Genesis badge on the trunk the grill can they make it any bigger really and the rims horrible i guess its time to change brands
EQUUS best car I ever had.
Let's make some korean bbq on that big grill.😍
Waiting for a larger grill. :)
The enormous shield grill is way overdone. Dial it back a few sizes it would be better
I'm baffled as to how this has an analog IP, but the sibling K900 doesn't.
Hyundai trying to mirror the Lexus LS?
Why is his posture like that?!?! It's distracting.
Micah! You have NO IDEA how Jealous I am of people living this time of year where it is 73 degrees. Today’s high was 39 Degrees. I hate seeing my car dirty.
G90 & LS are the best cars in this segment(bec their reliable)but I only I wish there were massage seats why didnt they add it like the LS
Love the Genesis. GOOD LAWD- I'll drive this before I drive a Bentley or any other luxury car
Con about this brand is the leather quality and gas consumption. Had a g80 and was very disappointed with the quality after the lease. They really to change the inside design. This car is good for really short people, trying to get inside is irritating, too much blind spot. Uphill drive, downhill, and sloppy roads ride is terrible. Genesis need a lot of improvement
Fantastic Design!!!
the front is hideous but for the rest its ok
Avg. 13.1 mpg!! Ouch!
Looks like a Lincoln to me..
MMmm yes motorcycles. Yes yes.
The new sonata has a digital cluster and this doesn’t 😑😑😑😑.
Regular gauge clusters are super classy and age pretty well. G90 is focusing of traditional and classier appearance. The Bugatti Chiron does not have a full digital gauge cluster/infotainment system.
Eh not a big deal
PB&J Racing The Bugatti is a super car this is an opulent luxury sedan.
Mr Psychometrics Thats kind of subjective.
Theyadmire to me the Bugatti is just as much about luxury as it is about being a supercar.
13 mpg!
Buddy driving the car looks so little driving the car
I heard it's the only luxury car without a seat massager.
