Rest In Peace Lexus 😔. Genesis has officially ended you Time to give up and kill your lineup. You’re no longer relevant Amazing job genesis for ending the Lexus brand
Absolutely love this car. You might buy one of the big Germans because of the badges but this car offers everything the Germans do STANDARD! some of the features on the G90 are optional extras on the Germans making this car a fantastic bargain. Genesis are killing it right now!
Beautiful car, as a Korean it still amazes me how far Genesis/Hyundai/Kia has come in the last 10 years. Hell even the last three years has brought on an entirely new generation of Koreans cars. Own a Genesis G80 Sport 2018 currently, can't wait to see which Genesis car will be my next.
@@clearcut6818 That's crazy, I can't imagine how rich you must be to be able to speak for other rich people. After all, it's not like rich people buy Lexus, you know "once a Toyota always a Toyota"...
@@chrischo1996 rich people buy Lexuses, because they don't depreciate as fast as German brands. Hyundai, however, drops like a stone on the used car market.
@@clearcut6818 So now we're talking about the average American who cares about deprecation. First off, there's no data that shows Hyundai "drops like a stone on the used car market." It's not as good Toyota, but it is at or above the industry average, so your statement is very misleading. Now back to the main topic before you pivoted. "Once a Hyundai always a Hyundai." I'm assuming you meant that Genesis won't be able to escape it's association with Hyundai. I stated that Lexus was successfully able to do so. What is your argument against that?
I bought a brand new 2020 G90 Ultimate 5.0 and couldn’t believe how great that car was. The downside is you don’t get Genesis-level service, it’s Hyundai-level. Yes they have an incredible warranty on paper but you don’t have to look hard to find plenty of people who are having legitimate warranty claims denied. I never had to file a warranty claim but I had all sorts of trouble with scheduling maintenance. I called for an oil change in January and was told they could get to me in March. The issue is Genesis requires the car to be in a certain mileage window to do the oil changes so when I asked what they recommended I do with the car for 3 months, their reply was “park it”. Not exactly what I wanted to hear with an $80k vehicle. I sold it shortly after and bought a Yukon Denali. Couldn’t be happier. Until Genesis gets their service problems sorted, I won’t even consider one of their vehicles.
This is quite concerning. Is a Genesis dealership separate from Hyundai or are they all in a Hyundai location? Never bought a Hyundai product but Genesis is on another level and considering a G80, buy poor service gives me pause.
@@jeffk5142 That was the case when I bought mine, though Genesis has recently opened 6 or so standalone dealerships in the US (as of the 4/25/23 article in Motor Trend). I would still recommend researching how many Genesis buyers are having issues with warranty claims being denied. With that said, I never had a minute of trouble out of my G90 Ultimate in the year I owned it. My issue began and ended with the poor customer experience at the dealer.
@@jeffk5142 just check to see if there’s enough genesis dealerships in your area….or future ones to come…..there’s a new dealership in Charlotte being built so that would take care of my concerns.
This interior is way better than a new Sclass in my opinion. The s class past 2016 has had such a clustered feeling interior with the screens and over-doing of ambient lighting, way too busy. Genesis does a great job at keeping the interiors open and non-cluttered
The W222 S class face lift was literal perfection in 2017/18. I love the G90 and it's my 2nd favorite full size sedan, but it's not on par with the W222.
@@LilRick96 You can’t deny the quality you get in this interior for a considerable amount less, than a new S class at the time. Edit: I personally think it looks a lot better than the S class interior especially the current one and the quality I’m sure is almost on par with it.
I am sooooo glad you finally got this car to review! This is my favorite car review channel by far, and I was intrigued by the introduction of this G90 since last year. Thank you!!!!
Absolutely STUNNING. Genesis has very quickly become my favorite luxury brand over any of the established players. Their designs are fresh yet stately & handsome. Their interiors are STUNNING and high tech without being busy & don't rely completely on touch screens, and the fit and finish, and bang for your buck seems unbeatable. Their designs stand out so much more compared to some of the boring or busy designs some of the Germans and Japanese have!
I own the 2022G 90 I’m 68 years old been driving since I was 14 hands-down the best car I’ve ever owned and I have owned some really good luxury cars highly recommend this vehicle
Korean cars are in another level now. Incredible how far they come.. Very impressive definitely a car I would buy if I could very beautifully designed. My top 5 cars that I like in design and interior. This screams PURE luxury class.
We own the GV60 as our second car (to a Model 3) and we’re blown away by the quality. In terms of why the screen is smaller, I think I can offer a reason. It’s actually the same infotainment as the GV60. Those two cars likely shared it to expedite the future OTA updates as both cars are the first among the Genesis group to get OTA. The other Genesis cars have a similar feel but you can tell the visuals are different as well.
Dear Lord from heaven this is a beautiful automobile. I have been going back and forth between Genesis and Cadillac and I am being pulled into Korea more and more daily. This is what an Automobile should be.
My CT6 2.0E plug-in sees almost 40 mpg after the EV battery is depleted after almost 50 miles. Also has 432 lb-ft of torque and drives like nothing else in the class.
Twin turbo hybrid and supercharged. Sounds like a recipe for not being good in 9 years. Also I hate how car companies are putting reverse lights and sometimes even turn signals at the bottom on the rear. One minor fender bender and they are broken. Plus it's is not normally where I look for them when driving
@@majicogarcia8417 the superior handling and driving dynamics pay dividends in efficiency and collision avoidance. Not to mention the CT6 is a joy to drive. No one says that about G80/G90 and Lexus LS.
This car looks good, but it doesn't have a Korean identity. For example, sure this might look and try to feel like a Rolls Royce/Bentley, but those are European cars with European-esque feel. Sit into a Lexus LS Executive package, you get a Japanese style luxury car. Lexus uses Japanese terms to describe their cars such as "Takumi" for craftsmanship and "Omotenashi" for experience/feel. This is why Lexus is successful, it has a Japanese identity just as how European luxury cars feel "European." Genesis is nice, but I want to see more Korean inspired look and feel. This car imitates European Luxury cars well, but it needs to have its own Korean heritage. They have money to do this and show the world what Korean luxury can be.
Until you try a Genesis - my suggestion don't criticize it. And, if you're shopping for a used one - there's NOTHING else that can touch it if you want a luxury, first-class, sedan. My only hope is that people remain skeptical so the prices stay relatively low. Do yourselves a favor - those of you in the mrkt for sedan daily driver - just give it a try. I"m 100% a convert and have been for years now. GL
My guess for this G90 having less cargo space compared to the previous generation is the 48V mild hybrid system. There's also th other version of this car without the 48V mild hybrid system which might give you a little bit extra cargo space
Handling expectations seem to have expanded over time. My 2019 G90 is the equal of my former 2001 740i Sport, which was characterized as riding on rails and both certainly feel that way.
Omg, this is so good looking. I never thought I'd be lusting after a brown car. I love the rims, the interior colour, and the wood with metal inlay, frickin every aspect is perfect imo. Well, except for the crApple screen. It gives the car a cheap look, like it was designed by 3rd graders. Does the Android Auto screen look better?
I am thoroughly impressed with KiA/Hyundia & Genesis. This conglomeration is impressive. I rented a 2023 Kia K5 with the 1.6L Turbo 4 - cylinder engine. I was VERY skeptical that this car had the beans to move this rather large vehicle around with some semblance of gusto. I was wrong. This car is almost too powerful at the higher end because the torque just pours on with a sublime smoothness that I have never seen in an engine of this size. Bravo KIA! I will also say that I cannot imagine how explosive the 2.5L turbo version of this vehicle would be to drive. A downside - the brakes need improvement. On the 1.6T model I tested, the brakes were soft initially, but it doesn't have the necessary bite at 80% of brake depression to inspire confidence. My take? I would be love the 2.5T version of this sedan but I fear I will get a SUPER speeding ticket. Lovely cars but if you have a heavy foot like me speeds will built so quicky you can easily and I mean easily get over 100mph without blinking an eye and that's with the 1.6T engine!! KIA/Hyundai/Genesis is AMAZING. But work on those brakes. That is the Achilles heel.
"This car is almost too powerful" 1.6l turbo, umm no...if you're upgrading from a Model A Ford it will feel like a world onto itself. To everyone else, it's kind of lukewarm.
Great vehicle! Nice review as always, I enjoy your channel, so detailed. What do you think about the durability of this vehicle compared to the competition?
As much I want wireless CarPlay in Kia/Hyundai, I rather them work on the longevity and safety of the vehicles. Way to many recalls for issues that shouldn’t even be a thing. But yes, wireless ACP/AA should be standard in a vehicle at this price point
It's because MB only sells the LWB of S-Class for American market. It's super weird to see regular wheel base S Class outside of the US. It looks like a short bus S-Class. Meanwhile... the LWB G90 is almost the size of the Phantom. It's gigantic.
Gorgeous car but they did drop the ball in the areas mentioned. How is it you can now purchase a 23' Kia Telluride with the camera rearview mirror and not an $89k Genesis. Doesn't add up. I'd still drive the hell out of it!!! 😂😂😂 Thank you for the review Sofyan!👍🏾
These cars by Hyundai is BEAUTIFUL and a piece of ART but that damn resale value is what hurts mannn. 2023 $80k same car used in $2024 is $60k 🤦🏾♂️😨😨😨😨😨
I think they should have kept the 5.0 V8 and bolt on the mild hybrid to it...I bet that would have gotten similar fuel mileage and more performance along with higher torque
I’d surely love to drive one of these. I would only hope the reliability and dealership experience are top notch as well other wise you might as well go German since genesis is in the the process of building prestige
I owned the 2011 Hyuandai Equus but we purchased it in 2014. It had low miles when we purchased it. I think it was still under 90,000 or less miles when we sold it. I loved that body style. I like the Genesis 2023 front grill but I’d prefer the 2019 or 2020 rear. I prefer the 2011 rear body style. It’s just a preference if that makes sense.
i’m definitely not a hater of this car but I think pricing it upwards of $100,000 and increasing the price substantially from last year’s model really takes away some of the value that was baked into the brand. Genesis to me has always been attainable luxury, and this price increase, though understandable, has taken some of that luster away.
I love the distinct styling and the interior is gorgeous. I think this vehicle is worth it's asking price. For many competitors you're just getting started for $100000. I would take this over every competitior in the class. The S Class would be close. I still think Mercedes is more polished and refined overall. This is like 8 tenths of the way there. The engine is somewhat of a let down. For all the complexity the performance/fuel efficiency isn't that much better than the V8. The longevity of a system like this is questionable. But I know people in this segment don't keep these vehicles long. The only major issue I have with The G90 isn't the car itself, but the fact there's few stand alone dealerships. Thefew I see look like they will rival anything from Germany or Japan. But imagine buying a $100000 Genesis next to a $20000 Elantra? I'm sure Genesis dealers are expanding but in the meantime that's the reality. But Genesis is on fire. They've done more in 5 years than Acura, Infiniti, or Lexus
Excellent review! Lexus has been doing a lot of refinements each model year to the LS… Don’t know if you’ll ever review one again but I’m sure more than just myself would be interested in your review of a 2023 LS
Nah. The LS is dead at this point. 😂 It’s not even worth sofyan wasting his precious time reviewing it when there are far better vehicles he can review. I’m 99% sure that Lexus will kill the LS since nobody’s buying it.
@naveenthemachine the Lexus LS500 will outlast all of its competitors and retain its value no matter what, and that's why Lexus will always have a strong following. The Genesis, on the other hand will quickly lose its value and break down as so many have already. Genesis is notorious for their malfunctioning vehicles that tend to self combust without warning.
Thanks for the review. This appears to be the best kept secret in the luxury segment, exceeds Lexus and rivals the Germans. Can you change the settings so only the driver door unlocks ( vs all 4) when using the fob? I think if they don't touch a thing and just make it an SUV, it would give Lincoln and Cadillac more than a run for their money and could lure Range Rover drivers as well.
Make no mistake...The beautiful seats, self-closing doors, and all the other exciting tech the 2023 G90 boasts makes it quite a desirable car [for the super-rich]. However, all that abundant tech equates to a high chance of some feature malfunctioning. Plus, the turbochargers of the Twin Turbo V6, combined with the supercharger, will induce serious wear on the engine. Hence, the owner of a G90 will likely spend more time in the waiting room of a repair shop than enjoying its vast features.
I own a 2021 G90 ultimate 5.0. EPA is 16 city 23 Highway. This new drivetrain gives you a 1 mpg improvement on paper. Adds a lot of complexity and weight to the vehicle. Not sure what the benefit is with the new drivetrain? Missing is the silky smooth V8 power.
That's why Lexus keeps their technology simple because they care about reliability. This Genesis might seem overwhelming when technology is concerned but it will break sooner or later.
Lexus blows ass all their interiors are outdated as hell. They sell strictly because people blow off Toyota for their reliability. Other than that I have yet to be in a Lexus that doesn’t have a cheap Toyota feel
@@wazgoodjj I remember comments just like this 5-10 years ago when people said nobody is going to pay 50K+ for a Hyundai. Well we both see how that turned out.....🎤✌🏾
@@naveenthemachine the lexus still drives much smoother than the BMW and the Genesis. I will for sure go either with the merc, audi or lexus. I suggest you open your eyes a bit and stop being a hater.
I currently have a 2023 G80 with a similar brown interior. I love this car but it's too expensive. I'll wait three years and then buy this 23 model when used ones will be available for high 40s mid 50s
The only thing I’m not a big fan of or, I should say what doesn’t really go well, is the steering wheel. It looks old fashioned compared to the rest of the interior which is ultra modern and chic.
Wow it’s amazing, issue is $100k for it! Even tho Bentley helped out, Bmw m devision, it’s still tough sell at 100k when I can spend $120k for a s580 benz.
The legroom upfront is 46in in the g90 vs 41in in the s-class. Therefore it is better to look at combined legroom. Still s-class has about 1-2 inches more combined.

Great vehicle! Nice review as always, I enjoy your channel, so detailed. What do you think about the durability of this vehicle compared to the competition?
As much I want wireless CarPlay in Kia/Hyundai, I rather them work on the longevity and safety of the vehicles. Way to many recalls for issues that shouldn’t even be a thing.
But yes, wireless ACP/AA should be standard in a vehicle at this price point
It's because MB only sells the LWB of S-Class for American market. It's super weird to see regular wheel base S Class outside of the US. It looks like a short bus S-Class. Meanwhile... the LWB G90 is almost the size of the Phantom. It's gigantic.
Hey Redline I think the new BMW 7 will make you forget about the G90.
Beautiful . I don't know if it's the camera but the interior color reads Carmel not Burgandy.
Those wheels are amazing but man are they going to be a pain to clean; but then owners will probably have someone to detail it for them.
The fact that this car is proven to be miles ahead of Merc’s EQS sedan says a lot.
Gorgeous car but they did drop the ball in the areas mentioned. How is it you can now purchase a 23' Kia Telluride with the camera rearview mirror and not an $89k Genesis. Doesn't add up. I'd still drive the hell out of it!!! 😂😂😂 Thank you for the review Sofyan!👍🏾
These cars by Hyundai is BEAUTIFUL and a piece of ART but that damn resale value is what hurts mannn. 2023 $80k same car used in $2024 is $60k 🤦🏾♂️😨😨😨😨😨
Hyundai is junk
@@mannyfresh5909 😂😂😂😂
I think they should have kept the 5.0 V8 and bolt on the mild hybrid to it...I bet that would have gotten similar fuel mileage and more performance along with higher torque
genesis brand will be full electric in 2030 they already re located ice engine engineers no more ice.
I just checked two days ago to see if you reviewed this yet 😄
I’d surely love to drive one of these. I would only hope the reliability and dealership experience are top notch as well other wise you might as well go German since genesis is in the the process of building prestige
I love this car!!🔥🔥🔥
I owned the 2011 Hyuandai Equus but we purchased it in 2014. It had low miles when we purchased it. I think it was still under 90,000 or less miles when we sold it. I loved that body style. I like the Genesis 2023 front grill but I’d prefer the 2019 or 2020 rear. I prefer the 2011 rear body style. It’s just a preference if that makes sense.
Very impressive Genesis G-90 but it’s missing a analog clock?
The vehicle is beautiful and its not even all new yet. Ashame its jumped to over $100k though.
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!!!
This is above and beyond I just love every features about this vehicle 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
i’m definitely not a hater of this car but I think pricing it upwards of $100,000 and increasing the price substantially from last year’s model really takes away some of the value that was baked into the brand. Genesis to me has always been attainable luxury, and this price increase, though understandable, has taken some of that luster away.
Agreed. I got my 2021 G90 for about 78K. It's too much of a price hike for a '23.
A perfect review and always a new location on Background on video,this is professional job,thanks
I love the distinct styling and the interior is gorgeous. I think this vehicle is worth it's asking price. For many competitors you're just getting started for $100000. I would take this over every competitior in the class. The S Class would be close. I still think Mercedes is more polished and refined overall. This is like 8 tenths of the way there. The engine is somewhat of a let down. For all the complexity the performance/fuel efficiency isn't that much better than the V8. The longevity of a system like this is questionable. But I know people in this segment don't keep these vehicles long. The only major issue I have with The G90 isn't the car itself, but the fact there's few stand alone dealerships. Thefew I see look like they will rival anything from Germany or Japan. But imagine buying a $100000 Genesis next to a $20000 Elantra? I'm sure Genesis dealers are expanding but in the meantime that's the reality. But Genesis is on fire. They've done more in 5 years than Acura, Infiniti, or Lexus
Excellent review! Lexus has been doing a lot of refinements each model year to the LS… Don’t know if you’ll ever review one again but I’m sure more than just myself would be interested in your review of a 2023 LS
Nah. The LS is dead at this point. 😂
It’s not even worth sofyan wasting his precious time reviewing it when there are far better vehicles he can review.
I’m 99% sure that Lexus will kill the LS since nobody’s buying it.
@naveenthemachine the Lexus LS500 will outlast all of its competitors and retain its value no matter what, and that's why Lexus will always have a strong following. The Genesis, on the other hand will quickly lose its value and break down as so many have already. Genesis is notorious for their malfunctioning vehicles that tend to self combust without warning.
@@naveenthemachine lexus and Toyotas don't die !!
We should be getting our hands on the 2023 Lexus LS with their new teammate hands free driver assistance tech next year!
@@meowchat6175 lasting longer on the lot because nobody is buying a ls500 over a Mercedes.
Thanks for the review. This appears to be the best kept secret in the luxury segment, exceeds Lexus and rivals the Germans. Can you change the settings so only the driver door unlocks ( vs all 4) when using the fob? I think if they don't touch a thing and just make it an SUV, it would give Lincoln and Cadillac more than a run for their money and could lure Range Rover drivers as well.
Make no mistake...The beautiful seats, self-closing doors, and all the other exciting tech the 2023 G90 boasts makes it quite a desirable car [for the super-rich]. However, all that abundant tech equates to a high chance of some feature malfunctioning. Plus, the turbochargers of the Twin Turbo V6, combined with the supercharger, will induce serious wear on the engine. Hence, the owner of a G90 will likely spend more time in the waiting room of a repair shop than enjoying its vast features.
I own a 2021 G90 ultimate 5.0. EPA is 16 city 23 Highway. This new drivetrain gives you a 1 mpg improvement on paper. Adds a lot of complexity and weight to the vehicle. Not sure what the benefit is with the new drivetrain? Missing is the silky smooth V8 power.
Does it have a heads-up display? I also heard that there is a mini fridge too
Very nice!!!
Those seats are amazing
That's why Lexus keeps their technology simple because they care about reliability. This Genesis might seem overwhelming when technology is concerned but it will break sooner or later.
Lexus blows ass all their interiors are outdated as hell. They sell strictly because people blow off Toyota for their reliability. Other than that I have yet to be in a Lexus that doesn’t have a cheap Toyota feel
And that’s why the Lexus flagships barely sells
Nobody wants a Lexus anymore 😂
Lexus is dead at this point
@@naveenthemachine you've been saying this yet Lexus is still selling plenty of vehicles
@@dude-yg9ez because those buyers are sheeps
I really love your shoes! What shoes are those? Also, I really am liking this G90, definitely worthy of this class, great review!
I saw on of these up close yesterday. Very nice!
I do know it will last longer than the S class and has a better warranty too.
Love the wheels
This car is drop dead gorgeous!!😍 Genesis definitely knocked it out the park! It make the Lexus LS irrelevant. Great job Genesis!
The LS was already irrelevant from the get go since it’s redesign 😂
I seriously doubt people are going to walk into a Genesis/Hyundai dealership ready to drop 100k. 🤨🤨
@@wazgoodjj I remember comments just like this 5-10 years ago when people said nobody is going to pay 50K+ for a Hyundai. Well we both see how that turned out.....🎤✌🏾
This Genesis looks amazing! I am deciding between this, an S550 4Matic, 750Li, A8 or LS500h.
Lexus for longevity. If you don't care about that - I'd go for the S class.
Genesis for longevity and warranty but Mercedes’ is better
Don’t even think about the Lexus. It’s the WORST option in its class
@@naveenthemachine warranty yes, but hyundai/genesis/Kia have been plagued with engine issues recently
@@lukeheffernan the smaller ones with the 4 cylinder yes. But their v6 engines and turbo v6 and their RWD cars aren’t affected
@@naveenthemachine the lexus still drives much smoother than the BMW and the Genesis. I will for sure go either with the merc, audi or lexus. I suggest you open your eyes a bit and stop being a hater.
I want this company to do well. What they are offering is just superb!!
I can't wait to see one on the road.
Smart people buy cars, not badges💡
it's an impressive car! only if I could afford one :(
Will G90 be updated later this year?
I currently have a 2023 G80 with a similar brown interior. I love this car but it's too expensive. I'll wait three years and then buy this 23 model when used ones will be available for high 40s mid 50s
Beautiful car
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!
The only thing I’m not a big fan of or, I should say what doesn’t really go well, is the steering wheel. It looks old fashioned compared to the rest of the interior which is ultra modern and chic.
How come Genesis refuses to add hybrids to their lineup? This with a hybrid that could get great if it could have MPGs in the mid to high 20s
Genesis decided they were going to skip hybrid and go full EV. It’s the same thing Acura decided on.
genesis going full ev by 2030
I would say if Genesis came out with a high performance V8 version... make like a limited numbered version... I would get that one also... LOL
This car is almost better than the S class. Lexus and Audi to me would slot below this lol and BMW better bring it if they want to compete with this
Wow it’s amazing, issue is $100k for it! Even tho Bentley helped out, Bmw m devision, it’s still tough sell at 100k when I can spend $120k for a s580 benz.
Not worth 90k, its a Genesis. They would have been in a perfect spot around 70's. If spending as much, migh as well get the MB or BMW
The legroom upfront is 46in in the g90 vs 41in in the s-class. Therefore it is better to look at combined legroom. Still s-class has about 1-2 inches more combined.

GORGEOUS CAR #perfection
