2023 Genesis G90

[YEH]

ATP for the G90 last quarter was $98k (probably included some leftovers).

Next highest Genesis model was the GV80 at $72k.


TFL review...

Went to dealer today to see if they can help with my connected services not working on my 21 G90.The GM got the same response with the connected services help desk as me, "the investigation is ongoing" Hopefully next week. On a side note i took a ride in new G90 E, from the rear seat. Luxurious!.The leather was even softer than mine. One thing I noticed was that when car went into gear, either the trans or electric motor doesn't make a smooth transition. I felt it engage. Very noticeable. Is this a normal occurrence with electric motor cars? Other than that, I was impressed.

I am not sure you are supposed to feel the engine. However transmission... You wouldn't happen to notice which mode it was in? Unless it's sport I would imagine you should feel nothing

Car was in comfort for most of the time. He did put in sport at one point and it did put me in the back of the seat. Reminded me of my former 20 G80 Sport. Didn't feel much different in chauffeur mode. No highway driving though.

How do you compare the noise level and ride quality to yours?
Is it worth the upgrade when the above 2 factors are most important?

I can only give my opinion while riding in the rear seat. The cabin was super quiet, but again, we didn't go on highway. My 21 is a very smooth ride, hard to say if the air suspension is a giant leap up, but I never rode in the back of mine. I'm more curious about that trans or electric motor engagement. It was quite noticeable in the back. Any 23 owners take a ride in the back? Did you encounter the same thing as me? I was behind the driver and the sound/feel came from my left side. I'm not trying to stir the pot here, I've never been driven in an electric car before.

Hey G90 fans! Hope this video gives decent insight for y’all!

Would you get this or spend $30k more for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class with the same features? 🤷🏽‍♂️ #luxury #luxurycars #genesis #g90 #korea #cars #gfuel #foryoupage #foryou

Speaking of air suspension, while it may be an upgraded ride, the potential for failure is pretty high. One of the biggest gripes about the Lexus air suspension is the failure rate. Not sure how that might relate to the new G90, but for me, I prefer non air.

I wonder if there's any data on the Equus air suspension failure, since it was their first foray into that?

I had a 2015 Equus and my front air bag went out in 2020, luckily they fixed it under warranty.

More of an overview of Hyundai/Genesis than a review of the G90.

Waiting on Alex On Auto review

Multiple reviews mentioned that rear wheel steering in G90 is "way too weird," or "made car occupants literally car-sick." For those who own E-SC version, what are your impressions?

What with all the reports on the rear wheel steering causing motion sickness for the unfortunate rear seat passengers, I was just wondering if the RWS system could be disabled/shut off ?
I imagine if you use your new G90 for Real Estate work and do a bit of your driving in town, the effects might prove to be detrimental to sales due to your potential byers getting queasy all the time. Just a thought.

My Verbier White with Obsidian Black / Bordeaux Brown Two-tone interior g90 came out of PPF and tinting yesterday so I thought I'd share a few shots. I'll be updating this post with interior shots later.

For those curious I included a shot of the rear with all the badges removed because I preferred to do a full PPF wrap instead of using cutouts around the letters. I'll be putting the GENESIS logo back on but leaving the model designation and AWD off.

A guy also happened to have brought in a G90 after my car went in for PPF so there is a side by side shot with the two cars as mine cures.

What film did they put on your windows? I always used 3M crystaline (well, since 2010 I think)

I don't know... Interestingly enough, when they said they felt rear-wheel steering kicking in, they were making a high speed 90-degree turn, which I hardly see a reason for.

It sounds to me like reviewers are just doing donuts or spinning in place quickly which causes the back to basically go sideways. I don't know if it's relevant to regular driving. I booked a test drive in a couple of weeks to check it out myself.

Interesting that some people complained about the rear steer while Sofyan's (Redline's) review, which was made a few months after he drove the S500 with rear steer, asserted that the rear steer on the G90 wasn't nearly as noticeable as it was on the S500, or even the A8 for that matter.

MF is 0.002 which translates to a 4.8% rate. Not too terrible, considering Fed rate is 3.75-4.25% and expecting to go over 5 next year. But then of course can't beat the 3.49% loan rate

I’ve only felt this once in the entire time I’ve had the car. No passenger complaints either. I’m assuming the reviewers were driving it harder than me

So far what's the verdict of the 23MY owners? What are the stuff you wished were different and better? What are the shortcomings and issues you would like to be addressed? Knowing what you know now, would purchase again?

I am still debating whether to go ahead or wait for another year for issues, if any, to be ironed out and the addition of autonomous driving level 3

I love mine. I did have a QC issue where there was excessive wind noise in the cabin (I say excessive but it’s about as bad as my gv80). Dealer immediately took it in. They did some quick fixes last week which lowered the sound significantly, and took it in this week after parts they ordered came in.

Everyone that has driven or sat in the car has been very impressed and many have been converted to Genesis customers.

I’d like them to add a higher tier seat leather option that makes it competitive to the S class top tier seats. Also a fridge in the rear or front would be great. Finally the rear seat massage, 4 seat configuration, ottoman that folds down from front passenger seat and the latest HDA version and hardware wasn’t available in my market, so I’d like them to add that in in the future.

Still waiting to try the new 7 series but until I try that this is clearly the best car in its segment overall this year
