The 2023 Genesis G90 3.5T E-Supercharger AWD: The G90 drives like a small car. The engine is quiet under concerted acceleration, and it delivered easy cruising and passing power. Genesis is giving its flagship G90 a good presentation boost. The luxury sedan gains styling inside and out, a new suspension for a smoother ride, and new high-tech automated driving experience.
Genesis G90 | Manufacturer Image: The G90 updates its signature grille and slimmer two-line headlights that mimic the Genesis badge. The sedan’s rear end is updated with full-width taillights and an elongated trunk. The upper area of the vehicle has a cleaner look. The G90 is available as a standard sedan or a long-wheelbase model that adds roughly 7.5 inches of interior space in the second row. The long-wheelbase features a 20-inch wheel design.
The interior of the G90 blends the integrated cluster and navigation screen, with premium glass and aluminum in the center console. Rear-seat has two panoramic moonroofs for the first and second row, which can be operated independently. The second-row seats recline separately, and new large tray. A touchscreen in the second-row armrest lets passengers set their own climate control modes, seat positions, massage, and lighting settings.
The Genesis offers a 3D-surround sound function that uses a Bang & Olufsen 23-speaker system to optimize musical themes like ‘Boston Symphony Hall.’
A Smoother, Quieter Ride: The G90 houses a 3.5-liter turbocharged engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission to replace the outgoing options: a standard 365-horsepower, twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V-6 and an available 420-hp, 5.0-liter V-8.
In addition to the new engine, the G90 gets new suspension technology for a smoother ride and improved handling. A camera-based Preview-Electronic Control Suspension system that monitors road conditions to optimize the suspension in various conditions will become standard. An air suspension offers three settings to improve stability depending on conditions: During high-speed driving, the system can lower the vehicle height for improved wind resistance, raise the vehicle on rough or uneven terrain, and elevate the front wheels when going down a steep slope. Genesis says a quieter ride will accompany the smoother driving experience that comes from the suspension updates. A noise-canceling system called Active Noise Control-Road, deadens road noise in each of the sedan’s seats.
New Automated Tech: New automation features including an EasyClose system that closes the vehicle’s doors with the push of a button or a press of the brake pedal (for the driver-side door). A hands-free smart trunk system uses sensors to automatically open the sedan’s trunk when the driver stands nearby, and a Digital Key system uses a smartphone app that lets the driver unlock and start the vehicle by simply touching the door handle.
