I really loved the Genesis, I wanted it to work when I bought my G80 in 2021, but the dealership experience ruined it and forced me to trade it for a brand I knew I could trust to be there to service my car when I needed it serviced. I bought the car from a dealership around 200 miles away, I live in a decent sized southern city in the US, about 200k people. We have dozens and dozens of dealerships for everything except supercar dealerships. I chose not to buy from the local Hyundai/Genesis dealership because they only had SUVs in stock. So I bought a G80 from the dealership I mentioned earlier, 200 miles away..this is very important. I knew with the local dealership I could get service and warranty work so, no brainer great deal. Fast forward to my first oil change about a year later ( i don't drive a whole lot, maybe 5k miles a year) and i book an appointment with the local genesis Hyundai dealership for my first maintenance. I get there and check in, and the first thing the service manager says is..."I don't see you in our system...did you not buy this from us?"...RED FLAG #1. I said no I bought it from the dealership down south. He paused and said give me a few minutes...and left. he came back about 20 mins later and said, "ok we will service it this time, but in the future you need to take it to where you bought it for service..."...I said..WUT?!. Anyway i ignored it as maybe just sales pressure or shaming. 2 Months later i get rim rash and I have the tire package so i call to schedule the rim to be repaired...and im told, "you didn't buy this from us, we are not going to service you, go to your dealer thanks bye."...I was furious. About 3 months later, the owner of the Genesis dealership in my city closed it, and went back to being just a Hyundai, and he actually mailed me (and all other local genesis owners) a letter saying "We no longer work on genesis for warranty or service. We will be happy to repair your genesis or change the oil ...for cash. Do not bring us warranty work we will not do it". I called my original dealership down south and they basically said "yep, this is happening all over the country, nothing we can do about it, just bring you car down here and we can work on it". Keep in mind this is 200 miles away, and I have to take a day off work to do it, as they are closed on weekends. I asked them "what happens if i get up in the morning and my fully warrantied Genesis won't crank".....to which they replied "have it towed and we can work on it...." i said "at who's expense?" and they replied immediately "yours of course we don't pay from transportation unless you are within 20 miles". I hung up immediately and 2 months later I traded it for a 2023 BMW 540i and never looked back. Buyer beware, Genesis is a great car, but their service and dealerships are as shaky and unreliable as a 1 legged stool. Buy one at your own risk and do lots of research in the dealerships near you, call them and make sure they will service you, and that they won't board up the windows overnight and flee to the hills. This is a dealership and manufacturer that still has way too much Hyundai in their blood to be taken seriously as a true luxury brand in the US.

Just so you know, a fully optioned Genesis G90 costs $101k. A base model S500 (similar power output) costs $111k. A S500 with the same amount of tech as the Genesis will set you back a little over $150k. I've just configured both of them. Also, a standard 88k G90 will give you Nappa leather, 20 Inch alloys and a 3D entertainment system as standard, whereas you'd have to drop another 10k into an already expensive 111k Benz. So, if an S class get's a 6 out of 10 for it's value, how can a Genesis, which offers the same amount of everything for 50k less, be a 5 out of 10. A base model 740i is 93k, so that is pretty comparable, but a base model 740i is the definition of poverty-spec. You literally get partially painted bumpers and an interior that's not made out of leather. A 10K Dacia Sandero offers those options. If you want anything, you'll have to pay. A paintjob that doesn't look like shit will set you back a whopping 5k, and the leather&wood interior will cost you a whopping $7300. Also, the fact that you don't get driving or parking assistance ($2100 and $1250 respectively, cooled and massaging seats (or even a heated option, it's $500 for the heated seats, $500 for the cooled FRONT seats and $1000 for massaging FRONT seats. If you want this for your back seats too, you're gonna have to give another 3k), a good sound system (Gonna have to pay 5k for that, sorry). All in all, a 740i that's comparable to the base G90 will set you back from 100k to 110k, and a 7 series that is comparable with the fully optioned 101k G90 will cost you between 120k and 130k, depending on the drivetrain (either way it will not be more powerful than the G90 3.5T E Supercharged, it's either gonna be weaker or as powerful) I'm calling BS on this score Doug, this car offers the same lever of quality, comfort and design compared to it's German rivals for a third of the price.

@@drhassan6892 The fact that Doug gave the G90 the same, extremely high score for quality, features and comfort, and yet he gave the G90 a lower value score, despite it being significantly cheaper than the two simply makes me believe that he is biased. And by biased, I mean payed to promote the Germans. A couple of years ago, when Doug was a much smaller KZitemr, he really did criticize the Germans and it was obvious that he wasn't all that fond of them, but now it seems that he'd turn into a complete billboard for them. I mean he gave a Citroen CX and a C6 a 7/10 for comfort, only a single point above an W211 E55. I've been driven in all three (W211 220 and 270CDi, not the E55 AMG, but the AMG is a firmer car compared to the regular W211), and, even though the W211 is an extremely comfortable car, it is leagues behind a C6 Citroen. The W211 wouldn't even be comparable to a C5 X7, let alone a C6. But hey, it looks odd that an weird looking and obscure French car beats a German luxury saloon to a pulp when it comes to daily drivability.

It would be interesting to do a side by side comparison with competitors as to what comes standard in the Genesis and what is an extra cost option in the BMW and Mercedes etc. Even though it might appear to be on par in terms of price, once you add on all the optional extras that come standard in the Genesis I expect it would undercut the others by a considerable margin.

And for THAT reason, I do find offerings such as this G90 intriguing. It does offer top quality, King of the Road prescence, and gives me the impression that a regular guy might have say "ouch", but could actually support the car after the warranty has expired.

Great review as always, Doug!! One thing I absolutely despise about Hyundai/Kia/Genesis in particular, is their chassy dynamics over uneven surfaces. I could see your camera shake and hear thuds seeping inside the cabin. Went back to see your 2021 Mercedes S Class review and that thing does not shudder like this car. It just wafts... Hands down Hyundai has come a long way in terms of technology, design, and engine reliability. But they are still far from 'perfecting' the chassy behavior, suspension, and road manners. I can vouch this car is more reliable than a Mercedes, but the 'Supercharged, Turbocharged, Mild Hybrid Engine' is bit of an overkill, when they could have just stuck with a V6 and a slightly larger Hybrid system, or even a V8 if emissions weren't an issue. Finally, Genesis used to be a brand that delivered nearly the same amount of luxury at a very competitive price. They got rid of that factor too!!!

They've been better than most cars and SUVs and I've been in or tested, and that's without air suspensions. I look forward to testing this new model out and comparing the feel over the same road surfaces.

Hey Doug, when you show how the electronic buttons of the back seats (or any seats) work, the camera can not catch the entire seat if you are holding it. Can you set up the camera outside the car, focused on the seat you will show and you can sit on the other seat and just press the buttons of the seat you will show. This way we will see how the entire seat moves. Otherwise, keep up the great work.

Hyundai have come a long way to create vehicles like this. I like it actually. Quality and materials all look nice. A pretty compelling car overall. It does suffer a bit on brand recognition though as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi come to mind when one talks about full-size luxury sedans.

Two comments from this review (great job btw Doug). 1) If you option out a BMW or Mercedes like the top end Genesis (shown here), then the G90 still is the bargain luxury sedan. 2) The "wow factor" you mention from owning a Merc or BMW, would be there IMO driving up in a Genesis G90, because then you get to talk about this rare and awesome car! That would be why I would get this car! I love what Genesis is doing. Thanks.

I have an older model 2019 G90 - it is the best car I have ever owned. When I got the car, friends and family would tell me: Why did you buy something made by Hyundai? Once they took a ride in the car, they understood that the Genesis was every bit as good as more conventional luxury brands, and it was significantly cheaper to purchase and service. I think the new 2023 Genesis is the best looking full sized sedan - it stands apart from pretty much everything else on the road, and those wheels are beautiful. However.... if it is priced at $100KUSD, it loses much of its appeal.

I find the car very interesting. Would definitely own one over an S class just because it's different and has limousine presence. The electric door popper has been included in 7 series for a long time and a youtuber recently uploaded a video reparing all that door mechanism and it's insane. It may be cool but all this yatchs are extremely complex. Also, the doot automatically closes but the button is just below the door handle so you stil have to reach 🤔

Genesis hasn’t been around very long, but the G90 has been in this segment since introduction. It keeps getting better. The “value” offered for the money is it includes features found on more expensive models, like the door closing. Meanwhile Cadillac & Lincoln have been around for decades but still haven’t offered anything in this segment.

The thing about it is, I love the new Lincoln’s but ever since they basically got rid of majority of their sedans for more suvs. They messed up big time. All they could’ve done is bring back a big name like continental (execute it the right way) or town car and they could’ve easily have a car in this segment competing with these cars.

People looking for luxury brands don’t care about the price so if some rich guy is out shopping and test drives this, you best believe it’s getting bought. You’re 💯 right that not many people know about this luxury brand especially as it struggles to get from under the Hyundai/traditional budget car territory. It’s delivering on everything else and worth a look instead of the typical Audi, BMW, Lexus & Mercedes.

The interior is so beautiful and looks so inviting. It should be expected when you get a 15K price increase in one year. I think it's still well priced and competitive in a very tough segment. It has a "Driver's awakening" fragrance, super comfortable reclining seats and soft pillows. I'm surprised it doesn't come with blankets. It feels like Hyunday is trying to tell you that they really trust their autonomous driving system. It's a really (really) nice car. I'd get one if I was in the market for a luxury sedan. A luxury SUV (even Ferrari realized that) would be a more reasonable choice today.

Design and performance have all caught up, but the fact that most people's minds like want to buy haven't caught up with it seems to be homework that needs to be resolved. As a Korean, I hope that Genesis will expand to the world.

Will pick up this G90 when it is $25K off it's sticker. Genesis has lost it's way the last 2 years with it's pricing. It started with the G80 and sadly it's continued over to the G90. There simply are better options for the price point they are wanting to charge now. Knock $10-15K off and it becomes a no brainer on which is the better choice.

I really like this new G90, but I wish Doug was more clear on the pricing. It's nowhere near the same price as the S Class/7 Series/A8 because at the starting price, you get everything in the G90, except the supercharger, while you need to add $40k-$50k of options in the other cars to get similar features like memory heated/cooled/massage seats in the back, assisted driving, soft closing doors, 360 camera, similar materials, air suspension, etc. A couple of weird things I don't like is we don't get the long wheelbase model (although the standard one is big enough), so no foot massage, and no augmented reality stuff Genesis had years ago in the G80 in Korea. I thought it was ahead of the game with those things but for some reason you can't get that in North America.
