Genesis G90 Second-gen Genesis G90 Revealed

I dare someone to put an S in that grille. “It’s not an S.”

In the videos it does not look as good as in the photos, how strange

 

[Merc1]

It’s overstyled the more I look at it.

Its a mixed bag, in some angles it looks quite good. I like the rear lights and rear fender waste lines/bulges but the front has me scratching my head sometimes. The clamshell bonnet looks too curved and those twin stripe lights I think will possibly become dated very quickly.

Interior though is very nice and the seats look extremely comfortable. Its not a benchmark looking interior, quite conservative in some ways but it looks very luxurious and gives the S-class a run for its money.

Its a big negative that they only have 1 powertrain and a not too powerful V6 when most rivals are offering much more powerful V8s and also no plug in hybrid yet.

Such a controversial, hard to gauge car. I have to see this in person.

This car very much devides me. I really applaud Genesis for having the balls to make it look like this with its bold design features but some of them somehow don't gel together in perfect harmony.

I have to see one on the road in real life to decide if I like the design or not, but at the moment I am not sure. The front looks mmmaa the mors I see it but I do like the rear styling.

No complaints about the interior I like it very much.

 

[Merc1]

My thoughts exactly. Their other products are more cohesive to my eye.

It's a hard car to pin down. It looks an overstyled mess one min and then looks good the next. Gotta see it in person.

That US press car looks quite good in that spec and colour. Interior is superb and it somehow looks more luxurious than the S-class. It's a pity they don't have more engines at launch, only a 3.5 V6 is not good enough

Certainly an interesting luxury segment offering. And yet, there is a bit of "old school" exterior design that, IMHO, leaves the G90 appearing a bit stale versus the GV60. Of course, these cars are positioned in very different segments of the market. But the GV60s' smooth, uncluttered and very well-balanced exterior visual is hopefully a good indication of what future Genesis products hold in store. There's simply "a bit too much going on " in the G90s' sheetmetal surfacing and it may date very quickly. The GV60 displays that "less is more".

I'm eager to see the new genesis models in person. Has anyone here seen or driven one yet?

I have seen a few of the G80 as well as the GV80 on the roads here and they look very stylish and distinctive in real life. The striped lights are striking at night time. I liked the styling of the GV80 more than the saloon as its shape seems more curvaceous and less boxy than other rival SUV's, especially when viewed from the front.

In my opinion, they're just as impressive inside and out in real life as they are in person. I've driven the GV80 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Truthfully, the only thing that bothered me about the car is likely specific to a certain type of buyer (i.e. X5). The chassis is resolutely not sporty so don't expect the car to encourage you to have a good time. Further, the ride quality came off as a bit stiff under certain situations. That signals to me that the suspension tuning isn't as sophisticated as the Germans.

For someone looking for a luxurious ride with plenty of space, amenities, and style you can't go wrong with a GV80 in my opinion.

Impressive interior but there is nothing new for this class (except perhaps the button close doors). I guess nevertheless it must still be a nice interior to relax in the back seat.
