Genesis G90 brings its first full model change in three years following an enhanced version in 2018, representing the most elegant interpretation of the brand’s luxury design identity. The model introduces a bold new direction, with advanced assistance features that make driving easier, along with a variety of new technologies that enhance passengers’ journeys.
EXTERIOR:
- The front includes a new Crest Grille and sleek Two-Line headlamps, which are designed to resemble the brand’s emblem. The Two-Line headlamps, located on both sides of the grille, are the thinnest on a Genesis model yet. The headlamps’ slim design was made possible by intercrossing the lens of the DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) with the turn signal, the high beams and the MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology-powered low beams.
- The Crest Grille at the front takes the model’s upscale image to the next level with its Layered Architecture design, comprised of two G-Matrix patterns layered on top of one another to create a three-dimensional effect.
- Genesis G90’s status as a flagship sedan is further strengthened by its Clamshell Hood. The Clamshell Hood design features a single panel that combines the hood and fenders to eliminate panel gaps, lending the G90 its definingly sleek design.
- When viewed from the side, the Parabolic Line design starts from the hood and flows seamlessly along the bottom of the window to the trunk. Once more, the vehicle’s refined and voluminous body has been highlighted with Athletic Power Lines on the fenders around the wheels, revealing its power and dynamism.
- The DLOs bordering the first and second rows of the vehicle are harmonized by thick C-pillars. This allows second-row passengers to enjoy an open atmosphere and privacy at the same time.
- Functional elements like the license plate, various sensors, and the reverse lights have been lowered to complete the clean image of Genesis G90’s rear design.
INTERIOR:
- The driver’s seat brings to life Genesis’ interior design ethos of the Beauty of White Space, harmoniously combining the feeling of a high-tech device with new technologies together with the luxurious details that come with analog sensitivities.
- Drawing attention at the front of the vehicle’s interior are slim air vents that, combined with the wing-like shapes and the brand’s next-generation infotainment system – the connected car Integrated Cockpit (ccIC) – integrate the cluster and navigation into a panoramic display, cementing a high-tech look.
- the two panoramic sunroofs located above the first and second rows can be controlled separately. In addition, ambient lighting installed on the left and right ends of the sunroofs are linked with other ambient lighting navigation in the vehicle.
- Used here for the first time in a Genesis vehicle, the metal inlay garnish is a detail that is rooted in the traditional Korean ‘sanggam’ (or ‘inlay’) crafting technique. The garnish maximizes the vehicle’s sense of stature by inlaying the Two Lines and the G-matrix pattern onto real metal, ash wood, and forged carbon surfaces.
PERFORMANCE:
- It is equipped with a gasoline 3.5-liter turbocharged engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
- G90 utilizes multiple cooling mechanisms, including undercover guide hole, dust cover hole, and wheel guard cooling vanes to support strong engine power and torque while ensuring efficient cooling of the brake discs.
- It also features a new Brake Mode, “Chauffeur,” allowing drivers to control braking force.
- It also includes Preview-Electronic Control Suspension (Preview-ECS) as a basic feature, which optimizes control of the suspension by utilizing a front camera to recognize road conditions and provide a smooth riding experience in any driving environment.
- For added driving stability, G90 features Multi Chamber air suspension, which alters air pressure in the air springs. Three settings are available depending on driving conditions.
- Rear Wheel Steering (RWS) on G90 steers the rear wheels to a maximum of four degrees in a low-speed counter-phase (moving them in the opposite direction of the front wheels) and to a maximum of two degrees in high-speed in-phase (moving them in the same direction as the front wheels).
SPECIFICATIONS:
- G90 boasts Genesis’ quietest ride yet, providing the interior serenity that drivers expect from a luxury sedan. It is outfitted with the brand’s most advanced noise canceling ANC-R (Active Noise Control-Road) system, which detects noise from the surface of the road and then sends opposite phase sounds through the speakers to cancel it out. The result is a quieter ride that elevates G90’s driving experience.
- Some parts of the system are reinforced with special materials to strengthen the car’s body, while various sound-absorbing materials were used throughout key sections of the car.
- When a driver approaches G90 with their smart key, Auto Flush Door Handles pop up to greet the driver.
- The first-row driver’s seat doors can be set up to automatically close when the brake pedal is used.
- G90’s Fingerprint Authentication System in the center console enables keyless engine start and driving.
- Over the Air (OTA) software updates are also available for major electronic systems inside G90, such as the navigation system, digital cluster, Head-Up display (HUD), brakes, steering wheel, suspension, airbags, and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).
- Customers can experience the advanced technology and convenience of G90 even when driving and parking.
FEATURES:
- G90 is the first Genesis model to feature Hands On Detection (HOD), allowing the vehicle to accurately detect when the driver is holding the steering wheel.
- Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist (PCA) analyzes the vehicle’s surroundings, including the rear, front and the sides.
- The wide-angle camera-based Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) supports perpendicular parking, parallel parking, and diagonal parking by recognizing parking lines.
- Genesis G90 is also equipped with Acoustic Lens Technology (ALT), which optimizes sound quality through electric pop-up tweeters located on the left and right sides of the crash pad and headlining speakers placed in the middle of the ceiling between the first and second row, creating a 3D sound experience.
- Genesis has equipped the vehicle with a host of intuitive features, including Virtual Venue, Mood Curator, and an Armrest Touch System.
- ‘Virtual Venue’ is a virtual, 3D-surround sound function. It recreates the sound characteristics of various spaces that are optimized for certain types of music using settings such as ‘Boston Symphony Hall’ or ‘Bang & Olufsen Home’, and delivers on that sound with an impressive Bang & Olufsen 23-speaker system.
- Mood Curator enables integrated control of features like ambient lighting, the sound system, the fragrance system (olfactory), massage seats, and electric curtains, lifting passengers’ moods.
- G90 is also the first model Genesis has equipped with a fragrance system, which disperses pleasing scents throughout the car’s interior. It offers three different aromas: The Driver’s Awakening, The Great Outdoors, and My Favorite Place.The type and intensity of the fragrance can be controlled through the infotainment system, rear seat touch control, and ventilation panel. Scents are automatically preselected for different Mood Curator modes, but can also be adjusted manually.
- An 8-inch Armrest Touch Screen (ATS) located in the center armrest in the second row offers touch-type integrated operation.
- Passengers can set climate control modes, seat position, massage settings, curtain position, and adjust the lighting. The touch-screen display provides clear guidance and explanations with graphics and animations that are suitable for each function related to the buttons.
