Gone are the days where I was one of the few doing write ups on Korean cars because I believed everyone needed to know what one of the largest automakers in the world was doing. Now, every spyshot, every new release, even renders are being done by all of the A utomotive N ews and YouTube R ecommendations sites. We have c ome a long way in two years .
The refreshed Genesis G90 was unveiled, the grille is larger than my Aunt Ruth, and like every single car coming out of Korea... I could see myself living with it. Yes, even the cheap (yet pricey, yet somehow reasonable ) stuff!
Here is the promo, just skip around and see the G90 under operation rather than static.
You know what this looks like? Yep, yes, and yeah! You know what else it looks like? It looks like it’s f ig as buck and costing a nut. It has been a long time since I’v e seen a new sedan that looks more expensive than it’s price point.
T hankfully, all big luxury sedans still depreciate like big luxury sedans. The only issue is that once these are half price in 36 months, there will be 5 other Korean cars that are cheaper brand new with the same tech and features or more expensive but makes that three year old Genesis look like a relic.
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Good job, Genesis. Also, nice job on the light design (inside and out), the interior material updates, keeping the tech approachable, and camouflaging that sensor plate in the front.
It's only the beginning for Genesis. Bring on that 2.5L, 3.5L, and the next run of products.

With the Euro style wide front plate the grille doesn’t look as awful.
Can’t wait for the large grille = bold design BS to go away.

What a gorgeous car, although I still will they kept the Equu s name. Being a low cost option for executive driving services was my first thought even before watching the video. It really could use double- stitched leather to better sell their luxury intentions.
Also, did anyone else find it weird listening to Korean voiceover while watching non Korean actors?

What chauffeur school did that driver in the video go to? Terrible.
The car looks good though but in the west those with money to be driven would be more brand snobbish and go for the likes of prestige marques such as Rolls Royce, Bentley, Range Rover lwb, Jaguar lwb, etc...

I like the overall looks even if it is a little derivative they have gone in amuch bolder direction , but hate the wheels. Looks too aftermarket. But I think I still prefer the current one:
The interior is fantastic though. Seems to be even more fully loaded
“Inside, things have largely been carried over, although the automaker does mention a re-engineered 12.3-inch infotainment display with smartphone integration and Intelligent Car Management Service. The central air vents are now slimmer and customers will have more trim options to choose from.
Some of the technologies present in the 2020 Genesis G90 are Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Suspension Control with electronic damping, and automatic external air prevention that automatically adjusts to recirculation mode when the sensors detect a polluted environment or the car enters a tunnel.
Standard safety features include Lane Follow Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Safe Exit Assist.”

It finally gives the G90 some character and modernity instead of being a bloated G80 with an Equus rear. The current G90 is obviously a filler car whereas this is what it always should have been from the start. Love the trailing indicator from the front to the side as well as the new grille shape. So cool how those Essentia traits are actually being used on a car.

That grille is a crime, like an Acura on meth .
Interesting way to tie the horizontal line in the headlights into the horizontal line on the maybe fake and definitely needless fender vent, creative if anything.
Stancedorks will love the wheels.
For me, it would be a hard sell over a CPO W222.

I’d prefer the grill didn’t droop quite so low down in the middle, but other than that it looks fantastic. Love the wheels and the turn signal design.

Jalopnik Markie winner of 2018 for sure!
I still think the rear doesn’t fit the theme they went with, but the frontal 3/4 view is very impressive.
