2022 Genesis G90

Best luxury sedan in the world that no one knows

Thursday, April 16, 2020

This is the finest luxury sedan in the world that nobody knows about. This is because Genesis totally botched the product launch of this vehicle and all the marketing dollars go now only to SUV's and not sedans. I ordered my 2019 5.0 Ultimate model in July of 2018, and it took 7 months to arrive. It didn't come in until the end of January 2019 in the color and configuration I wanted. That being said, my insurance company tells me this is the 24th car I've insured in 40 years of driving, but it most assuredly is the best by far. All I can tell you is everything is just........Right. Car and Driver calls it the "zen catacomb" and I would totally agree with this description. It is very quiet and spacious. The car only has a few nitpick items, and none of these should stop you from buying the car. The turning radius is huge, but this is expected due to the long wheelbase and All Wheel Drive (AWD), but it's tolerable. The dashboard is non-symmetrical and sort of slopes down and falls off to the right, and that really takes some getting used to if you're expecting symmetrical balance and flat and level dashboards. Like many imports, the selfish designers leave no place to hang a front license plate, so the dealer will set you up with this plastic flap tongue thing that hangs from your grille, and looks fairly ugly and out of place. It's also pretty hard to do a quick sound system volume change using volume control on the steering wheel without triggering it to go full mute - it's a switch design issue. Lastly, the car is about an inch and a half too low. I know letting air under the car is a bad thing and affects mileage, but in the real world there are parking garage ramps and driveways with 30 and 40 degree slopes out there and it's hard to navigate these without grinding the chin skirt off. The new Chevy Corvette has a switch you can hit which raises the nose of the vehicle when going up sharp inclines like this at slow seed, and the G90 needs this feature too. On the upside, it's a fabulous luxury car and there are no options with whatever model you pick, and everything is included. If you get the AWD 5.0 engine Ultimate model, the back seat has enough controls and screens to track and shoot down incoming MIG's. It is a fabulous car. This car is a category killer, and you'll be beating the best that Mercedes and Audi offer in the $120K range, but only paying $76K. Fantastic value.

BEST Luxury Vehicle Topping German Vehicle

I have been a long Lexus fan...Drove ES, GS, and LS models all the time. My LS was getting old so decided to upgrade with LS 500 new Lexus Model. After test driving the new LS500 I was NOT feeling the vehicle. LS 500 with 40miles had a creek and squeak...really...Decided to try German vehicle, BMW 7 Series was nice with the upgrade I want dealer said 90K...I went to Benz drove S550 nice but out the door 100K with free car wash. LOL...sureee. While I was driving back home I spotted the Genesis, the wing logo caught my eye and I started to do some google search and found a dealer who had a lease return G90. I set up the appointment, and the first impression was just WOW. Unlocking the door and sitting in the vehicle another "WOW". I took it for a spin and V6 Twin Turbo came alive, I had to put my both hands on the steering wheel. Super Quiet and cloud-like driving. I said I want it..The salesperson said outdoor 40K I said WHATTT...he said yep with 100K warranty from Genesis. No brainer I sign the paper and took the vehicle with me. Stop at grocery store and I immediately got a look from other folks starting at my vehicle and said: "nice vehicle you got there". Its been 6month now and all I can I made the BEST decision. Genesis Service and people are stepping up their games. Beemer, Audi, Lex, and Benz need to watch out...a new tough kid is in the town and soon makes a very BIG Name for itself.

Great luxury sedan

After driving Mercedes Benz S class vechicles for over 20 years I thought I would try something new. Best deccision I have made on a car. The G90 5.0 AWD is everything that the S550 is for about half the price with a better warranty. I will never go back to Benz.
