The 2020 Genesis G90 Is Old Luxury Wrapped With Modern Clothes
Korea's new luxury flagship comes with striking looks, an (expected) affordable price and all the relaxation you could ask for
The 2020 Genesis G90 is the new flagship model of the Korean brand, featuring a very distinctive exterior design that, so far, has proved to be popular.
For starters, it looks like a much more expensive luxury model than it actually is; the big Superman-like front grille works well with the new LED headlights, while the rear is equally eye-catching, with its full-width taillights emitting a Lincoln vibe.
The result is a luxury car with a unique visual signature, giving Genesis a new appeal. Some might think it's a Bentley, others see a Lincoln, but apparently everyone on the road is left impressed, according to The Straight Pipes' latest review.

Power comes from a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 producing 420 HP (426 PS) and 383 lb-ft (519 Nm) of torque, paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as standard. US customers will also get a more affordable version with a twin-turbo 365 HP 3.3-liter V6 option, which in Canada will only be available as a special order.
The interior has been also updated, albeit in a much less dramatic fashion than the exterior, featuring a new 12.3-inch touchscreen display for the infotainment system and plenty of physical buttons. Genesis claims that they have improved the NVH levels compared to the previous model by adding new sound-proofing materials both throughout the cabin and the sub-structure of the vehicle.
Perhaps the most headline-grabbing feature of the 2020 G90 will be its price; and we say "perhaps" because, right now, US pricing remains unknown. Even so, expect the new Genesis flagship to remain close to the prices of its predecessor, which starts from $69,350.
So, is the 2020 Genesis G90 the most luxury you can get for the money? Let's find out.
