Design philosophy: Athletic Elegance

The G90 embodies Genesis’s Athletic Elegance design language at its most refined. The signature Two Lines headlamp and taillamp signature stretches across the front and rear, the Crest Grille anchors the long hood, and the silhouette uses a single uninterrupted character line from front fender to rear quarter. The result is a sedan that reads quietly confident rather than aggressive, which is exactly what a flagship should do.

Three exterior touches set the G90 apart from German competitors at a glance. First, the available Active Aerodynamics with motorized front spoiler and active rear spoiler deploy at speed. Second, the door handles sit flush in the bodywork and present themselves automatically as you approach. Third, the rear chrome accent on Prestige Black variants is replaced by darkened trim for a stealth-luxury aesthetic that’s unique in the segment.

Twin-turbo V6 and the available e-Supercharger

Every 2026 G90 runs a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Where the lineup branches is in the level of boost.

The standard 3.5T AWD delivers 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque, hitting 60 mph in roughly 5.0 seconds. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 18 city / 26 highway / 21 combined.

The available 3.5T E-Supercharger MHEV pairs the twin-turbo V6 with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and an electric supercharger that spools instantly to eliminate any low-RPM lag. Total output climbs to 409 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. The e-Supercharger is the smart choice for buyers who want German-flagship-rivalling thrust without going to a V8. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 17 city / 24 highway / 20 combined.

2026 G90 vs. BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class

The flagship luxury sedan segment is small and the cross-shop is well-defined. The 2026 G90 lines up against the BMW 7 Series (740i / 760i), the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (S 500 / S 580), and to a lesser extent the Audi A8 and Lexus LS. Where the G90 distinguishes itself is on price and standard equipment. At $92,700 the base 3.5T AWD starts roughly $30,000 below a comparably-equipped S 580 and roughly $20,000 below a 760i, while including features (massaging seats, hands-free trunk, 12.3-inch dual displays, full ADAS suite) that are extra-cost options on the German rivals.

The full head-to-head with the BMW 7 Series gets its own dedicated guide. The short version: the G90 wins decisively on value-per-dollar, the 7 Series wins on brand prestige and resale, and the driving experience splits with G90 favoring isolation and refinement while the BMW emphasizes driver engagement.

Inside the G90 cabin: Bang & Olufsen, massaging seats, and more

The G90’s cabin is built around a single design idea: this is your space. The dashboard runs uninterrupted across the width of the car, the center console is uncluttered, and the rear seats receive nearly the same level of attention as the front.

Standard appointments on every trim include Nappa leather seating, real wood interior trim, dual 12.3-inch displays (instrument cluster and infotainment), wireless device charging, and a power-operated trunk lid. The 3.5T E-Supercharger adds front and rear seats with massage and ventilation, plus the Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium Audio system with 23 speakers. The Prestige Black trim layers exclusive black ashwood accents, dark interior trim, and bespoke semi-aniline leather over that.

For the Prestige Black trim specifically, Genesis treats it as a limited edition with subtler differentiation than competitors offer in similar packages. The black ashwood is a real, sustainably-sourced wood with a low-sheen finish, not painted plastic. Quilting on the seats uses a tighter pattern than the standard E-Supercharger trim.

Technology, safety, and connected services

Dual 12.3-inch displays anchor the cabin tech. The infotainment system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, over-the-air software updates, and Genesis Connected Services with remote start, vehicle status, and stolen vehicle recovery.

Standard safety includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Junction-Turning and Crossing detection, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Keeping and Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and Highway Driving Assist. Higher trims add Highway Driving Assist 2, Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 (which can park and unpark the car from outside via the key fob), and Surround View Monitor with 3D camera angles.

Standard AWD and Northwest Indiana winter driving

Every 2026 G90 ships with all-wheel drive standard, an important distinction at this price point. The Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, and Lexus LS all charge extra for AWD on their base trims or restrict it to the higher engines.

For Northwest Indiana buyers driving I-65 between Crown Point and Chicago, US-30 through Merrillville and Schererville, or I-80/94 toward Indianapolis, lake-effect snow is the dominant winter weather pattern. Standard AWD with the G90’s preview-based ride control (which scans the road ahead and adjusts the air suspension preemptively for rough surfaces) keeps the car composed through the worst of February ice and slush.

A dedicated winter-driving guide for the G90 covers tire selection, pre-conditioning, and Snow Drive Mode behavior in detail. The short version: a flagship sedan with standard AWD and air suspension is the right tool for the corridor between Munster and Valparaiso in January.

The Genesis ownership experience

Genesis ownership includes services that meaningfully differentiate the brand. Three-year complimentary scheduled maintenance covers all routine service intervals. Genesis Service Valet sends a technician to your home or office to pick up the vehicle for service and return it after, with a Genesis loaner provided in the interim. Three years of complimentary Genesis Connected Services covers remote start, vehicle status, and SOS emergency assistance.

Warranty coverage is class-leading: 5 years / 60,000 miles new vehicle limited warranty, 10 years / 100,000 miles powertrain warranty, and 5 years / unlimited miles roadside assistance. That’s substantially more comprehensive than the BMW 7 Series (4 years / 50,000 miles) or Mercedes S-Class (4 years / 50,000 miles) baseline coverage.

Step-by-step: how to choose your G90 trim

1. Confirm your budget. 3.5T AWD starts at $92,700. E-Supercharger at $103,000. Prestige Black at $105,750. The gap between base and middle trim is meaningful, the gap between middle and top is mostly aesthetic.
2. Decide on the e-Supercharger. If acceleration response matters to you, or if the Bang & Olufsen 23-speaker audio and rear-seat massage are non-negotiable, the E-Supercharger is the right pick. If the 375-hp twin-turbo V6 is enough power and you’d rather spend $10,000 elsewhere, the standard 3.5T is genuinely complete.
3. Decide if Prestige Black is your aesthetic. The exclusive black-on-black-on-black treatment is highly specific. Buyers who love it really love it. Buyers who don’t, don’t. Either way, the underlying car is the same as the E-Supercharger trim.
4. Schedule a chauffeured experience. Drive both the 3.5T and the E-Supercharger trims back to back at our Schererville showroom. The difference is real and worth feeling in person.
5. Run the numbers. Our finance team will work through current Genesis Financial offers, lease vs purchase, and trade-in valuation. We’ll provide a verified out-the-door figure before you commit.
