ABOUT THE GENESIS G90

The Genesis G90 is a full-size, rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan competing directly against the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series. Launched under Hyundai's premium Genesis brand, it targets buyers who want European-rivaling refinement and technology at a somewhat more accessible price point. It is a flagship statement car, and shoppers rightly expect it to deliver on safety as much as it does on comfort.

VERDICT

The 2020 Genesis G90 has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 1 recall and 2 owner complaints on file, giving it a light recall and complaint burden.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAY

Reviewers generally praise the G90 for its composed, quiet ride and a cabin that matches or exceeds European luxury rivals in terms of materials quality and refinement. The driving dynamics are described as smooth and effortless rather than sporty. Most reviewers consider it a strong value proposition within the full-size luxury segment, though some note that brand prestige still trails its German counterparts.
